of course, the irony about this cartoon – which I assume is meant to demonstrate shallow selfie culture desecrating the great classics – is that among other things a) hamlet is a disaffected young man suffering from depression and, frankly, deeply self-absorbed and b) the entire play is obsessed with the idea of performance and performativity and so absolutely hamlet taking selfies would be in the spirit of the original because a selfie is a new way of constructing the self through images

so what I’m saying is: fuck off culture snobs I’m coming for you

Yeah, my first thought was definitely “huh. That would make for a pretty good adaptation.”

the best thing about parks and rec is that ben wyatt was an adult male nerd character that lived a well socialized adult life with a normal job and having normal relationships with women and on top of that he was independently creative of the media he consumed both politically and in side projects (cones of dunshire/stop motion) which is something that that damn bazongles show has been miserably failing at since day one.

FUCKING UNMUTE THIS

Owl: [in a small, cute, gravelly voice] Drugs.

Sunny: No, we’re…we’re okay.

Owl: [same voice] Drugs?

Sunny: This is awkward. No thank you.

Owl: [higher pitch] Drugs?????

Sunny: Who invited–who invited–?

literally my favorite vine of all time

remember when White Feminists™ wished for Jane The Virgin to flop because of the virginity/insemination plot line being “misogynistic”???
remember when White Feminists™ tried to cry racism and classism because they don’t understand the telenovela genre at all???
remember when JtV was showered in awards, dealt with abortion and reproductive rights and immigration and class differences and it was all ignored by most “feminist” fandom circles because a brown woman is the lead???

HOW IT SHOULD’VE WENT

this seemed so natural and correct to me that I had to read it three times before I realized what was wrong with it

Okay I know I just reblogged this, but I’m not done with it.

Has anyone else thought about how much more compelling this simple change would have been thematically? We lose nothing of Clint’s character development, because a sister can be just as important and share the same concerns as a wife. But instead of an awkwardly underdeveloped romantic relationship, suddenly there’s a sibling relationship to parallel the Maximoffs. But Clint has chosen to protect his family and keep them out of it, while Pietro and Wanda have chosen to fight side by side.  Give Clint a conversation with Pietro about family, and protecting their family. Make them disapprove of each other’s methods. Pietro’s sacrifice to save Clint is instantly so much more heartbreaking. Give us Clint fighting to bring Pietro’s body back, because he knows he needs to bring him home to Wanda.

Literally so much improvement with less than five minutes of the actual film changed
