Why the fuck is Tumblr suddenly forcing this busy, incredibly ugly three-column layout on me? What was wrong with the navigation up at the top where it wasn't bothering anybody? Tumblr, are you trying to be Twitter?

Please, I just want the navigation back up top. This borders to unusable. Who wants to look at an artwork on a tiny not-even-one-third of a laptop screen? I need shitposts to take up at least half of my screen.

My fav Crucible quotes because I said I’d post them then promptly forgot also! Some commentary!:

Proctor: Abby, I may think of you softly from time to time. But I will cut off my hand before I ever reach for you again, wipe it out of mind. We never touched, Abby.

The whole reason John proctor is compelling is because he’s done wrong and I feel like this is a key moment in his character. Also (I may be wrong) I think this is the first time we learn about him and Abigail so there’s that.

Parris: I hope you do not mean we go to satan here!

Rebecca: I wish I knew.

I am Rebecca Nurse’s number one fan. I just love her sass especially when she talks to Parris.

Proctor, lost: aye. He is failing for it

Elizabeth, delicately: adultery, John.

Proctor, as though a secret arrow had pained his heart: aye…

I feel like this scene because it perfectly shows both of their characters perfectly AND it shows how Proctor genuinely does regret is actions. Also, it’s just very funny - my friends and I repeated it for like a week after.

Proctor: if she is innocent? Why do you ever wonder if Parris be innocent, or abigail? Is the accuser always holy now? Were they born this morning clean as God’s fingers? I’ll tell you what’s walking Salem - vengeance is walking Salem…I will not give my wife to vengeance!

Specifically the vengeance part is what I like. It feels like a breaking point almost.

Parris: I think not, or you surely know that Cain were an upright man, and yet he did kill Abel.

I LOVE a good biblical reference especially when it’s twisted to make pretty bad people seem right. Also this line is just so good? Parris had no right.

Proctor, his mind wild and breathless: I say — I say — God is dead!

Parris: hear it, hear it!

Proctor, laughs insanely then: a fire, a fire is burning! I hear the boot of Lucifer, I see his filthy face! And it is my face, and yours, danforth! For them that quail to bring men out of ignorance, as I have quailed, and as you quail now when you know in your black hearts that this be fraud — God damns our kind especially, and we will burn, we will burn together!

I ADORE this part!! I love love love Proctor calling out Danforth, I love the way things are phrased, I love seeing proctor hit his limit, all of it I just love it.

Hale: I denounce these proceedings, I quit this court!

This line is actually attached to the second above but I decided to separate it because I love Hale, he’s my favorite character. He has the best Arc throughout the crucible and he’s just so well written. Also, if you have seen the movie it makes me so mad that this line was cut because this is such a pivotal moment for not only Hale but like all of Salem.

Hale: why, it is all simple. I come to do the devils work. I come to counsel Christian’s they should belie themselves. His sarcasm collapses. There is blood on my head! Can you not see the blood on my head!

Again, Hale is my favorite. I was so glad to see his return, I think this part is honestly what solidified him as my favorite.

Proctor: I cannot mount the gibbet like a saint. It is a fraud. I am not that man… my honesty is broke, Elizabeth; I am no good man. Nothings spoiled by giving them this lie they were rotten king before.

Elizabeth: and yet you’ve not confessed till now. That speak goodness in you.

Proctor: spite only keeps me silent. It’s hard to give a lie to dogs…

Every scene between Elizabeth and proctor hurts me. Also “spite only keeps me silent” is the realest line ever written ever.

Proctor: would you give them such a lie? Say it. Would you ever give them this? She cannot answer. You would not; it tongs of fire were singing you you would not! It is evil. Good, then — If it Is evil, and I do it!

This part (and the next) is why I like Proctor in the book. He is fully aware he has done wrong before and is going to do wrong again and that’s what makes him so captivating.

Proctor, with a cry of his whole soul: because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust in the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!

I did in fact almost cry when I saw this part in the movie. It is just an incredibly powerful moment and it’s so eloquently put together. Argh I love the crucible.

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

one thing about orpheus and eurydice is you guys are all like “i’m different i wouldnt turn to look at her” because you are all familiar with the story of orpheus and eurydice. but orpheus wasnt familiar with the story because he was in it lol.

#anyway. its only really good bc its a tragedy. doomed by the narrative etc. he has to turn around theres no other end. #greek mythology #sorry. this ones in post jail now.

This new Interpretation of Medusa in the new episode of Percy jackson, as a survivor of abuse that directs her pain, because of missing justice, against people that she associates with her abusers, shows not only how much Rick Riordan has grown as a storyteller and interpreter of mythology but also how much we as a community have grown in interpreting and understanding the deeper meaning of mythological storys and the context they were made in.

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

#this post is edited because you're all annoying. maybe I'll turn it back someday #it sucks that people can't even be normal about a funny family story once the fact that we're greek comes into the fold #suddenly its all about blorbofied mythology shit and idiots saying ''GREECE IS REAL???? 🤯🤯🤯🤯'' yeah percy j*ckson didnt make it up #maybe it would be less annoying if they weren't all saying it like I'd think it's funny that they don't know we exist instead of like #disturbing on a personal level. like what the fuck #man if you can't acknowledge we exist in real life just name your oc Icarus something else idgaf #so yeah explode. Skase. Voulos'to. Valto mesa sto katamalakismeno mouni tis mana's sou. Psophise. etc.
