Sir that's my emotional support Much Ado About Nothing (2011) with Catherine Tate and David Tennant

#much ado about nothing #kiz reblogs #shakespeare bullshit

[imaginationcompact]

per anon’s request, i present to you THE best version of beatrice’s monologue in much ado about nothing. i thought about cropping this but decided this scene must be watched in its full glory

#will never not reblog this #god i love this show #much ado brainrot #much ado about nothing #shakespeare #kiz reblogs

[imaginationcompact]

i watch dropout for a number of reasons, a primary one being that i like to fantasize about being paid to do comedy with a large group of working professionals who not only exist as a network of colleagues but also a healthy community of peers and friends

#kiz reblogs

[imaginationcompact]

Knives out and Glass Onion work bc it brings the role of mystery solving detective out of brooding tortured genius and back to its rightful place as Friendly Weirdo In a Little Outfit

Listen I'm an Emily Axeford Stan first and foremost but Siobhan Thompson is just as good and should get more love bc the amount of times she leaves Brennan(and me lol) speechless bc of how well she rp-s and connects to her characters so deeply and even Emily watches her with stars in her eyes and I'm super normal and not at all parasocial

hey, i’m sorry, i ate your boyfriend’s heart. yeah it was after he slandered, scorned and dishonoured my kinswoman. in the marketplace yeah. i mean he was approved in the height a villain so- yeah no i’m really sorry

#shakespeare bullshit #im doing this monologue for class rn hehe #kiz reblogs

[imaginationcompact]

It’s always “why did you commit regicide” and “your covered in blood” and never How was the treason The treason looked fun was it fun

#shakespeare bullshit #kiz reblogs

[imaginationcompact]

maybe i'm just a grumpy english major but i feel like a lot of the "lol people think shakespeare is pretentious but actually his plays are just dick jokes and swordfighting" posting can verge into "lol what if the curtains are just blue" territory. yes shakespeare plays are full of those things AND they are also profound and complex and thematically rich. people spend their careers analyzing them for a reason, actually. it's not just dick jokes all the way down. and sometimes people spend their careers analyzing the dick jokes. stop trying to pick one side of the dichotomy between high and low culture. it's both. it can be both.

The worst thing is when you are so fixated on media nobody talks about. Who am I supposed to ramble to I need to intake as much of this as I can

Hozier b like "hey girl what if the ceaseless battle between unconquerable suffering (as a consequence of existence), and the indomitable human spirit, was just. in ur earphones. What if the constant tug of war between the limitlessness of love and inevitability of heartache was literally injected into u via sound. Like. just playing in ur ears for an hour. Take my hand. Let's take a stroll through hell, baby :) wouldn't that be gre- why are you crying"

#i #AAAH #hozier #unreal unearth #kiz reblogs

[imaginationcompact]

Oh how Hozier has written an album about the absolute worst humanity has to offer, all our sins and crimes laid bare, and he says you are forgiven with so much tenderness. This is what makes you human. This is what makes you complex in the most beautiful ways. Look at the tragedy around you, and look at the survivors. Aren’t you all just so beautiful in your efforts to strive forward and begin again.
