There Needs To Be More Irish (language) Representation In Media - Even Just A Fáilte Sign Or Something.

The funniest part of Ekko going to the alt timeline is how he casually and accidentally reminds everyone of the most traumatic things to happen to them

Like imagine you go to your future-son-in-law's graduation party after presumably knowing him for years and just not seeing him for a couple months and the FIRST thing he says to you is "remember when your husband tried to fucking murder you" LIKE???

Also, imagine your bf/situationship/lab partner/ best friend, who has spent time with you nearly every day for years and KNOWS how your sister died just starts suddenly being like "Your sister died? How did it happen? DID YOU MURDER HER?"

I love you Ekko you are very smart but "reading the room" is not one of your many skills lmfao

greek mythology musicals my beloved

*puts hands on hollywood exec's shoulders, staring unblinking into their eyes* listen to me. you will never get people who hate musicals to like musicals by making your musical less of a musical. if you hide the fact that your film is a musical in the advertising, you're going to get a lot of low ratings from people who hate musicals and went into your movie not expecting a musical and got one anyway. people who hate musicals will hate them no matter how realistic and diegetic and lowkey you try to make it. they will hate musicals even if you completely excise anything complicated, over the top, silly, or even slightly challenging. they will hate musicals even if you cut half the songs. they will hate musicals even if you cast that a-lister who can't sing worth a damn. stop trying to market to people who hate musicals. they're a lost cause. your audience should be people who love musicals. this half-assed middle ground pisses off both camps. just embrace the fact that your movie is a musical. lean into it. don't try and trick musical haters into coming to your film when you could be marketing to the theater kids. better cringe than a coward.

Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy being like, "I am 100% committed to respecting your 'no', but I heard you wouldn't promise my aunt not to marry me so I had to come and check just one (1) more time."

I'm so genuinely gutted that of the big three Gothic horror stories, Frankenstein; the biggest of them all, is the ONLY ONE who doesn't have this relatively huge Tumblr fanbase. Like, yeah. Don't get me wrong, it exists... but compared to DRACULA??? Or even J&H???? Not even CLOSEEE. And it's because they both got some cool thing Tumblr enjoys, like Dracula Weekly/Re; Dracula, or The Glass Scientists. BUT I GET NOTHING OVER HERE. WHEN WILL IT BE MY TURN.

That's it. That's the post.

an interactable crochet dissected rat i made a while ago

Aine/Áine was one of the first images I came up with for the Tuatha De Danann, although I first depicted Dagda and Morrigan. But now it's her turn, and she is absolutely gorgeous

Talking to people who aren’t REALLY into classics sucks sometimes bc it’s understandable enough yk, acquired taste and all that, but also it’s like I SWEAR I’m not being pretentious by saying my favourite novels are Frankenstein/Dracula/Les Misérables THEY GENUINELY ARE 😭 IM GENUINELY ATTACHED TO THE CHARACTERS AND GENUINELY HAVE REREAD THEM MULTIPLE TIMES (except for Les Mis. I am… still not finished my first read it’s a long-ass book ok man leave me be) AND IM GENUINELY EXTREMELY ARTISTICALLY INSPIRED BY THEM ALL IM SORRY I am but a simple history nerd who genuinely likes reading about old men with psychological problems and almost-human-cryptids that are metaphors 🙏🙏
