what if you’re giving birth to twins and it’s the end of daylights savings day and the older twin was born first but the second twin travels back in time and is born an hour before the first twin, would that be fucked up or what.

This is like one of those riddle-of-the-Sphinx loopholes, like “I can only be defeated by a younger brother who is first born of his family” and this clown rolls up like “BUDDY, HAVE I GOT A STORY FOR YOU…”

getrude’s behavior throughout hamlet is pretty ambiguous and I think you could reasonably say she’s hiding some morally questionably choices but,, man. her last words. when she’s trying to tell hamlet about the drink. when she’s trying to choke out a warning as the poison constricts her throat. it’s so important she tells everyone what happened, she knows this, she knows she has seconds. but even though she has to get this information across in the last few seconds she is alive, even though this is the most important information she could ever communicate, even though time is running out, she makes sure her son hears her call him “my dear Hamlet” one last time and. man. that just. ,,

I mean, just think about the staging possibilities for this. like she falls to the ground and Hamlet goes “How does the queen?” so he is noticing somethings wrong. he’s concerned. does he stop fighting then? does he drop his rapier when he sees her lying there? does he run to her as Claudius tries to wave off what’s happened, when he says “she swoons to see them bleed” ? is Hamlet holding his mother, trying to help her up as she’s muttering, “No, no, the drink, the drink!” Hamlet’s confused, trying to help her up but she’s not trying at all, she’s just trying to get her son to look at her, she’s grabbing his hand, squeezes it, and he realizes something is really wrong, why isn’t she trying to get up? maybe she reaches up, touches his cheek, remembers when he was just a toddler, remembers when things were better, remembers before all this happened when they really were much closer, remembers what he was saying after the play and how much hamlet just misses his dad, she caresses his face and wishes she had more time. that’s when she delivers the line. that’s when she says looks at her son and murmurs “O my dear Hamlet.” because there’s nothing else she can say. then she looks at claudius, then the goblet lying on the floor with the poison spilled out of it. “the drink, the drink.” she looks at her son and she can barely speak but now he realizes, now he understands, or at least she hopes. “I am poisoned,” she whispers, and if she had more time maybe she would say something else. but she has no choice. that’s the last thing she says, because the last thing she does is try to save her son.

also i find it deeply funny that in tsc andrew is just kevin’s pet goalkeeper and kevin’s pet monster and “that creepy little goalkeeper” when he takes up soooo much space in aftg in literally every fucking scene. even when he isn’t physically present he’s taking up space on the page because neil won’t stop thinking about him. then u get inside jean’s head and he’s like yeah aaron minyard is uninteresting outside of his outstanding murder charge and andrew is also there

what do you mean neil josten knew to calculate the distance between him and an older man so he could easier avoid getting hit (and run away) when jean moreau calculated to stay within arm reach of his coach because “a coach who had to get up to strike hit harder than one who could simply take a swing”. i’m gonna be sick.

had to nab these tags from @ravenvsfox

And people really do try to interact with fandom like consumers! They want « content ». They act like they can get a refund on reading a fic they don’t like. They add fanfics to goddamned goodreads without a second thought without realizing that’s as ridiculous as adding your friend’s dining room as a restaurant on yelp just so you can post a review about it

'Fandom' is a contraction of 'fanatic' and 'kingdom'.

Fanatic, from Latin fanaticus "mad, enthusiastic, inspired by a god."

Fandom is literally the place people go to be enthusiastically crazy about their blorbos! There are no normal people here!

Treating fandom like retail never does good things.
