but you see how many characters he names antonio. a real italian would have had a more diverse assortment of names I think

no… the truth is he’s a time traveller from ancient rome, looking for a period that would enjoy his roman politics fanfics

> Oh I don’t know. The number of protagonists by American authors named John or Jack is staggering.

true, john and jack are commonly used by american authors

but I can’t think of any author who:

–claims to not be american

–writes about multiple american characters

–and names most of them john

him being from ancient rome would explain his fixation on italy and explain why he’s so much better at latin names than italian ones.

> Forget he was evil. Tell me about the way he smiled when he lied, how he spoke in a voice so soft it made the threat underneath it even sharper. The way he never raised his voice, because he didn’t need to. The way he touched the rim of his glass with a single finger, slow and deliberate, as if already calculating the next move. He doesn’t twirl a mustache; he doesn’t cackle. Real monsters don’t have to.

2025-03-23 20:59:16 ¶ ●

honestly as much as I’ve never seen a portrayal of any king lear character that I’ve been entirely satisfied with, I fully believe that a really talented and dedicated casting director and staging director would be able to pull it off

or in other words; please let me cast and direct a production of king lear,,,

The Substance is a better adaptation of Jekyll and Hyde than 99% of the adaptations out there

because such a key component of the book is that he does this to himself on purpose. He 100% wants to be split in two and do his unnamed ‘vices’ while in his Hyde persona.

and of course he regrets it when everything gets out of hand and he can’t stay in the form he wants anymore, but the initial transformation was a complete success and exactly what he was aiming for

anyway no more innocent victim adaptation-Jekyll who didn’t know what he was getting into. More Elisabeth who absolutely knows what she’s getting into and initially is very satisfied with how things are going

> king lear is a play where even the non-villains are all “can’t help being a dick, mercury is super in retrograde” and then there’s edmund who’s like “well i’m better than that. I’M gonna be a dick on purpose.”

edmund is the absolute best at taking accountability for his actions, never blames anything on anyone else,, love him for that

> I love it when two characters are completely and utterly obsessed with each other to an unhealthy degree. Utter devotion to the point of insanity. To the point the lines blur as to what the nature of their relationship even is. Romantic? Platonic? Sexual? Familial? Professional? All and none of the above, somehow. They can’t exist without each other. Being together is making them both worse. They would watch each other sleep in bed at night every night if they could. They are literally always thinking about each other. They would kill and die for each other. They resent each other. Even seperating them isn’t going to fix the situation at this point. They permanently live inside each other.

hey chat, how many drugs did my stats professor take to write the opening of this problem:

“Bob and Barb’s Barbed Wire and Wig Emporium and Grill is a local pet store that sells seagulls and bagels. They’ve started using food carts to sell sunglasses at the beach to hungry customers on the go. They own 10 carts.”

every time I see an ad for ai it’s always just

“hey ai, I’m in this book club but I don’t like reading. can you tell me what the book’s about”

“hey ai, it’s my anniversary but I don’t really care about getting my partner a thoughtful present. tell me what to get them”

“hey ai, I’ve decided to make some creative project that I don’t care about and have no passion for. give me ideas for what to make”

like guys. no one’s forcing you to do these recreational activities. why are you doing these things you feel trapped in. is it just performative?

did you join the local book club because you wanna be the type of person who joins book clubs. and not because you enjoy reading.

every time I see a production of king lear that has edmund being a classic mustache-twirling evil-cackling villain it’s like.

no. you don’t get him. you don’t respect him. give my guy enough respect to not turn him into a cartoon villain. he’s got so much more going on.
