Rereading Nathan the Wise for class (in English this time) and Lessing's version of Saladin is kind of queer. What do you mean you don't care about (chess) queens, Your Majesty? Why does your sister say you only like to talk about King Richard?

If I had a nickel for every play I've read this year in which the main character's child who has a strange relationship to their father accidentally falls in love with their (half-)sibling, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I know we talked to you a lot at the beginning of the year about playing with Nate..you obviously had such great chemistry with him, knew where he was going to be back in the day. Seems like you guys are starting to find that a little bit again (...) just how is that coming with him? [x]

Nathan Young (Misfits, 2009) and Klaus Hargreeves (The Umbrella Academy, 2019) parallels:
● Immortality ● Bowling alley escape ● Death by impalement ● Rooftop speech/death ● Daddy issues ● Dead brother’s ghost

i have cemented the idea in my mind that they had lemony look older than most of his peers in asoue netflix because he is narrating to us from 12 years in the future, right around when he meets bea, but this means that i can't picture him when i'm reading about him with other sbg people. he is the son of man rené magritte any time i try to envision him atwq-the epilogue

How did I just realize that Nathan Young and Klaus Hargreeves are so similar. Or way similar than I thought. Both are equally as funny. They are both immortal. AND both went to escape through the bowling alley.

Just read to the ending of Nathan the Wise with a group of friends & when it was done we all likewise embraced one another.
The translation was silly. The stage directions were unintentionally homoerotic. The structure of the play itself is very 18th-century. But man. I'd you do it right it becomes 3+ hours of the most intense emotion grinding into reason. Until everything in Lessing's strange medieval frame is illuminated.

i keep putting off finishing Ollie's ref sheet - have this character inspo thing instead i guess <3 (characters listed under the cut)
(counter-clockwise)
seto kaiba - yugi-oh (specifically duel monsters & battle city if u care) stewart (tyler johnson) - letterkenny tristan duffy (finn wittrock) - american horror story -hotel edward - cowboy bebop kai anderson (evan peters) - american horror story -cult nathan young (robert sheehan) -misfits
there's definitely more but stewart (tyler johnson) is exactly what i think Oliver sounds like voice wise, so i'll def be doing more with that someday

I got the mental image of Nathan meeting his original iteration JFVHDXG

Oh no I thought about David for a single moment and now I’m mad. I honestly think I’m more mad about LiS trying to make me like him more than the game trying to make me feel pity for Nathan. I truly think that if Max sees David hit Chloe, even if she rewinds it, the player should be blocked from choosing the pro-David stuff later on. It feels out of character for Max to side with him KNOWING that he beats her.
