The problem with the Smiths is that they’re soooo good but you have to shake your head when you’re listening to them so everyone knows you disapprove of Morrissey
people often think i'm doing it for the bit but unfortunately i Am the type of guy who just says shit like "pray tell" and "indeed" and "naught but the human heart can hope to capture the moon's beauty" (that was actually about my shitty phone camera) and nobody really knows what to do when they hear those words come out of my mouth. myself included.

Can't think about Romeo and Juliet without going insane (affectionate) about how genuinely good of a play it is and without going insane (derogatory) about how often it's been misinterpreted that a lot of conversations about it completely disregard the context of the story to make Romeo and Juliet's love seem superficial and "just being overdramatic dumb teenagers" instead of them both being born into a war they didn't ask to fight in, both having recently been put in awful situations regarding their other romantic relationships (Romeo having gone through what was more or less a bad breakup and Juliet being forced to marry an adult she doesn't know or love- of course they'd fall for someone who understands how they're feeling when nobody else will listen to them), and both of them having friends and family die over this feud that neither want to participate in. Why the fuck wouldn't they want to try to make things better??? Why wouldn't they plead and fight and kill and, eventually, die themselves to try to prove this battle pointless after every other attempt at both peace and escape has failed them??????? Gods I know I'm definitely overreacting but I get so frustrated when people water it down to "see this proves that love at first sight is a stupid trope" when that's literally the opposite of the play's themes. ALSO the story- while it's very common knowledge these days that it's a tragedy- WASN'T PORTRAYED LIKE THAT!!! Like yes, the prologue tells you that the main characters are going to end up dead at the end- but it's impactful because you're supposed to almost forget about that line, and wonder "how could things possibly go THAT badly?"!!! The entire first half of the play is framed as a comedy!!! You've got overdramatic monologues, a silly sidekick, old men swordfighting in their pajamas, a nurse that is well-meaning but ultimately incompetent! And then the silly sidekick dies. And very, very suddenly, it's no longer a comedy. Now it's a tragedy. And when this silly sidekick curses both the Montagues and the Capulets? Now you know. They're doomed. No matter what they try, something will go wrong, because the blood this feud has shed has cursed them all. And while they may try, and oh Lord, these characters try, they can't escape their fate.
If you were into watching The Disney Channel in 2008 (or spent a lot of time with someone who did), you’re most likely familiar with the animated series Phineas and Ferb. The show went off the air in 2015. We found out today, however, that the show is getting a revival.
According to Variety, Disney Branded Television has made a deal with show creator Dan Povenmire to create forty new episodes of the series, which will be split into two seasons.
“Dan is renowned for his ability to create universally beloved stories and characters with both heart and humor,” President of Disney Branded Television, Ayo Davis, said during the Television Critics Association winter press tour (via Variety). “We couldn’t be happier to continue our collaboration with him and bring back the iconic Phineas and Ferb in a big way.”
The series follows two kids—Phineas Flynn and his stepbrother Ferb Fletcher—who come up with elaborate projects during summer vacation, much to the chagrin of their older sister, Candace. Each episode also has a B-plot with the boys’ pet platypus, Perry, who is a secret agent for the O.W.C.A. (a.k.a. the Organization Without a Cool Acronym). While its target audience is ostensibly children, it is also a series that appears to older folks as well, with some saying it might be one of the best science fiction shows out there.
“It has been the greatest pleasure of my career to see how an entire generation of kids and parents have embraced the characters and the humor of Phineas and Ferb,” Povenmire added during the TCA panel. “I’m eagerly looking forward to diving back into the show for them and for a whole new generation.”
No news yet on when the show will premiere or even which Disney platform it will run on.

Don’t play with me now, this better be for real-
Since Famine first showed up, there was a lot of surprise at the idea that the four Horsemen might consider each other to be siblings. Fami is our second look at the relationship between the four of them, the first being Makima’s desire to erase the others, which, put together with Yoru’s panic at Fami’s introduction, paints a picture of a contentious, if not antagonistic relationship between them.
What surprised me, however, is the relative lack of discussion on what the “big sister” part says about the four devils. When we consider that the Horsemen represent fears humanity had to bear since ancient times, age becomes relevant, and by thinking about this relationship we can glean what this quarter represents about society’s historical development, and in what way it’s an inversion of the Book of Revelation’s original Horsemen.
