We’re All Pieces On A Game Board, Dr. March, And Some Of Us Are More Powerful Than Others. You. Me.

LOL. This is hilarious.

Famine’s Monologue

I’ve noticed that while gays, lesbians, and bisexuals are fairly common in plays nowadays, asexuals are nowhere to be found. Thus, I created Famine, devil may care hipster who nonetheless delivers a badass monologue (slightly edited for clarity) that hopefully reassures asexual people that they are valid. 

“ Back when I was younger, it always confused the shit out of me as to why the thought of getting sexual with someone made me physically ill. I attempted to fix myself by going to various doctors, and drinking mysterious concoctions of medicines that supposedly increased sexual desire. Then one night, it occurred to me. Why the fuck was I wasting my time attempting to change a portion of myself just to please Society? So, I said screw it and let any person I was getting serious with relationship wise that sex wasn’t in the equation for me. It didn’t always work, mind you, but I finally was able to stop hating myself. Some people are going to be bigots regardless of how strenuously you attempt to educate them and there isn’t much you can do about it. But someone who truly loves you, will accept, and embrace the fact that you’re nonbinary the same way they’ll accept I happen to be a biromantic asexual.” 

You and she work well together, no surprise since you’re meant for each other–and I don’t just mean in the romantic way you keep botching up. You’re a team, a good one. You watch out for each other, and that’s good. But that doesn’t mean you’re meant to do every single little thing together. Yes, you have a shared destiny, but you have an individual one, and so does she.

Damn, this is both hilarious and accurate. 

If the Romans and Friends Had Outgoing Voice Messages Part 2

Cleopatra: You have reached 1-800 That Bitch, and this is a message to let SOMEBODY (Antony) know that if he so much as TRIES to steal my takeout this time I will stab him in the eye

Octavia: Before you begin your message I'd like to apologize for anything my brother has done to provoke you, I am not responsible for him

Cicero: You have reached the only voice of reason left in this hellhole, please leave a message.

Agrippa: Marcus Agrippa, please leave a message. Sorry I can't come to the phone right now but I literally never have a moment free *depressed laugh*

Liara T’Soni is autistic and nothing can convince me otherwise. 

Bastila is hilarious!

Thought I’d share this with Floralia being upon us, which also overlaps with Beltane.

This is so beautiful.

Have you played the hidden object games series “Dark Parables”? I’ve been hooked on the series for two weeks now that I felt like painting Flora’s guardians hehehe

Percy, holding the door for Mary: After you :)

Mary: No, after you :)

Percy: I insist, after you :)

Byron, pushing pass the both of them: No, after me.

This is both hilarious and accurate for Lord Byron, who really was that arrogant.
