the reason so many modern ‘feminist’/’gay’ retellings of classic stories or mythology are shit is because no-one wants to actually engage with a work on its own terms anymore. nobody wants to actually analyse and dig into the themes of a work they just want to plaster over it with what they consider self serving and ‘trendy.’ so instead of actually ANALYSING what a myth could say about women, or gay people, or society at the time in general, it just gets rewritten again and again to say what the author wants it to say. braindead fucking culture

#this is why i despise a/g/l #the people who present it as 'LOOK there WERE gays in medieval lit' are like. okay there were gays in medieval lit #and they (drawing from galehaut and lancelot here since that's what i know about) have incredibly important and interesting things to say #about gay love in their time #and about wider trends in society such as courtly love #but nobody wants to actually ENGAGE with those themes and dig into the texts to see what they do actually say #people just want to read something that caters to them perfectly #to elaborate this isn't about people who genuinely enjoy modern interpretations of a/g/l this is about people who claim it is somehow True

conrad veidt would make a great tragedian i think

#pathologic #conrad veidt #artwork #scopophobia #id in alt text #if any of you actually benefit from IDs id be very grateful to know if you prefer them in the alt text or in the post body! #anyway :D HIM #this is caligari-era connie obviously. i was saying this the other day but later connie would be a great saburov i think #i cant decide if i prefer the idea of him playing every tragedian or him being a very obviously incongruous tragedian who has just painted #his face to look like a mask and is hoping nobody will notice #also please ignore that the lighting doesnt make sense on the second one i used reference images lit from two different angles and didnt #notice until i had rendered it out because i always flip my canvas so often and im too lazy to fix it #anyway (part 2) i am still on my conrad veidt autism explosion and i am having a great time. i am having so much fun. i love he #i hope you are all well too my friends! term just finished for me so i am back hoam :D yaaay

Classic Literature Sexyperson Tournament; Round 1

propaganda:

Quincey:

quincey deserves #1 sexyman prize. he is the token cowboy. in a gothlit book. his first instinct when in danger in to randomly shoot through windows to (scare the shit out of) protect his friends. he decided he would literally die for a group of people he met like 3 hours ago because they seemed nice enough. he's texan for christ's sake. tropes: angst (dead), bait, distinctive voice, LGTBQ+ coded (dracula polycule is canon bram told me so), himbo (-ish), well dressed (cowboy).

Dracula:

owwsaawoagghb. older gentleman who is very regal and polite and is a fucking vampire how much sexier can you get

Obv everyone knows vampire sexy. The sensuality of drinking blood is *chef's kiss*. But I just really wanted an excuse to share this one thing, that isn't even related directly to the novel. So, my junior year of high school we read Dracula, and then our class went on a field trip to see a local theatre group perform the Dracula stage play-- and EVERY TIME Dracula came on stage, his neckline would progressively dip Lower and Lower (like. Comedically so) until he was soooo close to showing just straight up tiddie, but still juuuust barely not-- the tease was immaculate and istg it was doing Something for everyone in the audience. It was transcendent. An awakening. Even all these years later when my old high school friends and I bring it up, the only detail we can remember from that performance is Count Dracula's plunging neckline and that's Gotta count for something right

trying to read all of malory and quickly coming to this conclusion:

(ID in alt)

#IT'S SO RIDICULOUS #like lancelot saves kay's ass with enemy knights and they sleep in the same bed and then lance fucks off in the morning with kay's armour #leaving his with kay so kay can get home in peace bc nobody will dare challenge sir lancelot unnecessarily #and then lance comes across four of his fellow knights of camelot and they're like hey let's beat kay up to see if he's improved #like GUYS #you get beaten up enough by people who don't like you #there's no need to go 'good morning!' *BONK* with people you actually get on with #ridiculous #le morte d'arthur #lit reads malory #arthuriana

KHSFYITESFJKHKSD ok i DO understand the point being made and how the immutability of comics canon events seems to depend largely on how much a reader liked a given plot more than anything else, but Jason is like the WORST example you could use. Yes! The fans did literally kill him it was put to PUBLIC VOTE! Writing always involves the creation of conflict but Jim Starlin did NOT make that call unilaterally the crowbar IS in the reader's hand (or at least the voter's). Especially as modern comics increasingly lean on the 4th wall and include metatext as a plot point, YES there is ABSOLUTELY a reading where the writer and audience are as much "characters" as the city of Gotham itself even if we never show on-panel.

#literally superboy prime and gwenpool personify the principle you can't pretend no one reads that way unless you yoink the pen out of THEIR #author's hands!! the conversation passed you 20 years ago dude it's industry standard now better or worse #songs that the hyades shall sing #didn't reply on twt I'm not actually trying to Argue with slott especially as an unpublished nobody but. yeah dude! #man vs author comes free w man vs god & man vs self its english lit 101 #ok actually i *might* just reply with some english lit printout defining man vs author

I keep thinking about Hell's words: "This is the only way it should have ended."

Should. Not could. *Should*.

Like V1 should have been mass produced, obliterated all the Earth Movers, and then the next machine should have come along to counter it in turn and continue the war. Like all that fighting and the cycle of violence should have been perpetuated.

Like Mankind should never have finally gotten their act together, and tried to continue on even in the absence of divinity and in the face of total climate collapse.

There's a notable difference between 'could' and 'should', and the fact that those words are spoken by the only one who would've been *extremely disappointed* by this outcome has me raising eyebrows.

#ULTRAKILL #fuck it I'm putting this in the main tag #something else I don't really see talked about much (or at all really) is all the shit that happened leading up to The Great War #Yeah some guy getting shot in the head was the spark that lit the powder keg #but nobody ever mentions the fact that all that tension coming close to boiling over had been primarily because of /imperialism/ #which as we all know--and are seeing LITERALLY IN REAL TIME--profoundly benefits from war and violence #Just like there were “suits” with something to gain from digging into Hell and sending people there #oh I bet it was /delighted/ when that happened #Anyways I refuse to take the words of a superorganism who gets its jollies from the spectacle of cruelty and violence as** #**the end all be all meaning of the game #The themes here might be nihilistic but they're sure as fuck not doomerist
