i love shakespeare because he does not tell you a single thing that isn’t strictly needed to tell a story. where were viola and sebastian sailing to when their ship was wrecked, and why were they going there? doesn’t matter. who gives a fuck. write a fucking fic if you care so much, says shakespeare
bein called love/beloved/my love would probably instantly kill me. if i had someone i love call me any variation of those i would immediately burst into flames and that’s just how it’s gotta be sometimes

literally how hard would it have been for jkr to say something like “listen I was writing it in the 90s, I was inexperienced, I was writing from my own point of view, I didn’t realise how underrepresented a lot of people are, I wasn’t thinking about anything other than the plot, I accept that it’s a little sparse on the diversity front, I can try to be more self aware with my future works” etc etc instead of.. this nonsense
@magnusmangobane & @meiradynams mythology challenge gods & goddesses: kumiho
“The Kumiho is bound by supernatural forces, living a life connected to humanity yet outside the human realm. Like werewolves and other shape-shifters, the Kumiho’s existence is the envy of some, but a curse to the creature.”

my ultimate life hack? i like, never wear makeup except for occasions where i want to feel overly hot/professional. this way, people who see me everyday won’t be shocked when i don’t wear makeup, they will instead be shocked at how much hotter i can become. how much potential i don’t unlock for no reason other than laziness
One thing I know for sure. Don’t do it like me. Do it like you.
SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE (2018)
Beatrice’s line in Much Ado About Nothing “I would eat his heart in the marketplace” is like the definition of big dick energy
