Oh this actually a really interesting bit of history

So the guy who wrote this viewed homosexuality as a problem and the book is him trying to figure out how to fix that problem

But he interviewed a LOT of gay men for this, and the book is full of their quotes making it the most comprehensive insight for what it was like to be a gay man in that time period from the perspective of gay men

That’s also only half the list

Here’s a video explaining it more thoroughly

Oh this actually

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

when i was sixteen and insane for my shakespeare class final i had to do the “alas poor yorick” monologue at a competition and while i was doing it i had this insane thought of like. i’ve never been and never will be closer to experiencing hamlet’s mental state than i am right now. like of course all that stuff didn’t happen to me but when you’re 16-19 you kind of feel like all that stuff is happening, all the time, constantly

hamlet of denmark: i have a bad relationship with my family and their expectations are weighing on me and i’m worried my friends hate me and i’m really paranoid lately but maybe i’m just not getting enough sleep and i think there’s something wrong with me but i don’t know what and it’s making me push away the people i care about but it’s fine because i’m always right about everything and i always win and i’m going to live forever

high schoolers reading the play:

When you know there’s only a single line saying Hamlet is in his thirties and everything else in the play points to him being about 19, this makes a lot more sense.

I find it incredibly funny from a meta/author perspective, that Ancient Greece decided to name their protagonist that angers many people “Anger Bringer” but, even funnier, is the in universe understating that anyone who meets Odysseus must have had the thought “oh dear, how unfortunate to be named hateful/hated” and then they have exactly One conversation with him and go “Ah I see now”

For reference, Odysseus’ name sounds very much like the Greek word odussomai, which can roughly mean “I am angry at” or “I am the cause of anger” (or simply “to hate” or “to dismiss”), a fact that is used for ironic effect frequently in the Odyssey.

It’s also specifically stated in Book 19 that Odysseus’ grandfather, a master thief and one who has also pissed off a lot of people, specifically named him this because “I am disliked by many, all across the world, and I dislike them back. So name the child Odysseus.” 19.428

Bro looked at his grandson and thought “Ahaha, this one’s going to be a troublemaker like me. Better get him started early.”

It’s like a terrible allegory for cause and effect or something.

obsessed with this green beret blowing himself up. with fireworks. inside a cybertruck. outside the donald trump hotel. in las vegas. and he’s called lifeburger or something. that’s amerikkka baby!

just think about it for a second though. luigi mangione as far as i can tell not a gun nut or intelligence linked or anything just some guy who read 10000 posts about how to 3d print a gun, carried out an incredibly staged assassination and evaded capture for an impressively long time (though he too fell to a mcdonalds… burger the nation’s fatal flaw). then like a few weeks later you’ve got an actual serving special forces guy using the world’s stupidest car to attempt a wile e. coyote parody of the okc bombing with a 0 civilian death toll. incredible incredible times we live in

possibly the worst feedback you could receive on your suicide

CRYING at Galinda performing the most flamboyant like…tropical bird mating dance the world has ever seen

Meanwhile poor Elphaba, who has never experienced flirting with ANYONE before, let alone the world’s most flamboyant closeted lesbian tropical bird, has no idea what the hell she’s looking at and is just like ??????

Still, points for at least attempting to match Galinda’s freak

Truly the most magnificent sapphic fail-flirt scene of all time.
