in DESPERATE need of elijah mikaelson it’s not even funny

i’m just a girl 🩷

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god

let’s talk about art’s name. as much as i love the art-is-his-full-name truthers, i think it’s highly unlikely. and before yall say this is a silly detail HEAR ME OUT.

i think art was likely named after arthur ashe, one of the most (if not THE most) famous tennis players of all time.

for one, ashe would have been at peak popularity during art’s parents’ lifetimes (late 60s and throughout 70s). if you’re a tennis fan, you’ll know that ashe is far too famous of a player for a character in a tennis movie to not clearly be named after him.

if he wasn’t named after ashe, i do believe it was still an intended associated by the screenwriter. we’re supposed to inadvertently compare art to this famous tennis champion.

i do have to mention the other interesting aspect of art being tied to ashe in this way — ashe was married to a woman, but during his lifetime and since his death in ‘93, his sexuality has been the subject of a lot of speculation because of his AIDS diagnosis. while this is not to say ashe was gay or bi, i’m instead saying that i believe naming art after a man who was famously married to a woman while the target of speculation about his sexuality is an interesting possibility.

that’s my ramble of the day.

big fan of whatever they had going on
