There’s not enough space to post all of them, SO here’s links to everything he has posted (on twitter) so far : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12. 

Now that new semesters have started, I thought people might need these. Enjoy your lessons!

A person called OwlKitty changed the Business Card scene from “American Psycho” to the guys showing each other pictures of their cats on their phones… and it could possibly be the greatest masterpiece ever😭😂

Some nice people out there wanted me to voice this Flowery Fellow, just a couple short lines.

Yes, just yes.

Why Prometheus?

I’ve been reading a whole lot on the Prometheus myth, because of the Frankenstein novel (little teaser: i’m making an au because of course), and oh my god - this motherfucker-

He reminds me a lot of Lucifer, in the sense that they can both be seen as ‘Lightbringers’, they both defy the gods, they’re both trickster figures, and they both give knowledge to humans which has negative consequences and for which they’re punished.

His name means ‘Forethought’ and he symbolises science, progress and humanity. And I just find it interesting how these myths like,, demonised knowledge. Adam and Eve were banished from Eden after eating the apple and obtaining knowledge (they also obtained emotions like shame which they didn’t have before i think), Prometheus was banished and punished for giving knowledge to humans. It’s like even back then people knew that knowing shit, while making some things easier, brought on a lot of new types of struggles and burdens that just cuz they were new and disproportionate amongst people, made shit harder. That or they demonised intellectualism which is common of religions lmaooo Cuz in the myth itself, none of the humans seemed bothered, it were the Gods (religious figures) that threw a hissy fit.

I guess this just seems so prominent today in politics or whatever, people sometimes demonise or proudly reject Academias, Universities, science, progress, sociology or just basic statistics cuz it doesn’t agree with them. They’re proud of being stupid and they wanna keep the masses stupid as well idk

Prometheus was like this cunning, tricky dude, in the war between Gods and Titans, he was with the Titans at first of course (he himself is one), but because the Titans didn’t wanna use his tricks on the Gods he was like “fuck it” and switched sides and the Gods won.

Prometheus apparently created humanity, or was one of the titans/figures that did, and then the gods don’t allow them knowledge and he’s like ‘wtf guys i spent so long working on this, look at how dumb they are they need help’

He tricked,,, Zeus,,, into eating shit??? ok it wasn’t shit it was like bones or horns covered in fat or smthn and Zeus got so fuckin pissed but couldn’t do anything so when Pro stole the fire he like rubbed his hands and was “oh finally hes gonna get it for making me eat shit that one time where’s my eagle”

ANOTHER version of the myth, that still keeps him as a cunning dude but at the same time a dumbass which we love, actually suggested humans already had fire, but because Pro made Zeus eat shit, Zeus was like “hAH im gonna take away the humans’ fire now fuck youuu” and Pro was like “oh fuck damnit no not my babies’ so he stole the fire back and Zeus was like “GOTCHA BITCH”

ANOTHER ANOTHER version suggested Zeus ATE SHIT ON PURPOSE so that he had a reason to take the humans’ fire (cuz he just wanted to be a dick or smthn) and Pro was like ‘oh fuck well-shit---’

anyways Prometheus is a dork that we love who means well and disrespects the Gods

be like him and make him proud by educating yourselves
