I think I found my new favorite rabbit hole. This voice actor does Shakespeare scenes in a southern accent and I need to see the whole damn play. Absolutely beautiful
if you're not from the us american south, there's some amazing nuances to this you may have missed. i can't really describe all of them, because i've lived here my whole life and a lot of the body language is sort of a native tongue thing. the body language is its own language, and i am not so great at teaching language. i do know i instinctively sucked on my lower teeth at the same time as he did, and when he scratched the side of his face, i was ready to take up fucking arms with him.
but y'all. the way he said "brutus is an honourable man" - each and every time it changed just a little. it was the full condemnation Shakespeare wanted it to be. it started off slightly mock sincere. barely trying to cover the sarcasm. by the end...it wasn't a threat, it was a promise.
christ, he's good.
the eliding of “you all” to “y’all” while still maintaining 2 syllables is a deliberate and brilliant act of violence. “bear with me” said exactly like i’ve heard it at every funeral. the choices of breaking and re-establishing of eye contact. the balance of rehearsed and improvised tone. A+++ get this man a hollywood contract.
I return every couple of months with an outdated meme

Reading the Silmarillion, the elves seem so active and full of life.They’re always doing things. When you get to the Lord of the Rings, they just seem so tired. Elrond holds a meeting and then he’s out. Galadriel has some guests stay with her. They’re so done. They just wanna leave.
the number of people in the top vs bottom pic is accurate too
oh so when a bunch of roman senators kill their leader it's #girlboss but when i, macbeth,
i just know there was a weird little girl in the middle ages out there stealing snake's eggs and putting them in her family's chicken coop in the hope of hatching a basilisk
god i love the internet because if i said shit like this to people irl they'd probably just stare at me blankly but when i post it online everyone in the notes reacts like this
Lithuanian grass weaving by Giedrazole Gie
I've got a bit of a personal investment in Lithuanian folk art so I went looking to see if she had a portfolio or site or anything.
Her name is Gintvilė Giedraitienė, and goes by the Artist/Shop Name/Pseudonym of Giedražolė. From her Facebook Page:
My works of art are crafted using a unique technique perfected over two decades of experience. The materials are wild plants from Lithuania, such as grass, bentgrass, herbs, moss, etc. The pieces are 100% natural, durable, firm and designated for indoor spaces. In my work, I freely interpret ancient ornaments. My creations include sacral symbols such as suns, moons, birds, and trees of life.
Researchers have discovered that leaky blood vessels, together with a hyperactive immune system may be the underlying cause of brain fog in people with long covid.
They suggest their discovery is important for the understanding of brain fog and cognitive decline – difficulty with thinking, memory or concentration – seen in some people with the condition.
It is hoped the findings will help with the development of treatments in the future.
To Summarize:
Well…..
FUCK
csak egy nátha!!
A fun fact about the Ace Attorney series is that across the games you interrogate three professional assassins and three circus clowns.
None of the assassins are convicted of murder as a result of this, but two of the clowns are.

Can you tell me what this means please?
What happened to Ceasar?
Soon
just wanted a visual demonstration since I was talking about how much I love them
Mules are like horses with the self destruct button removed
...do you mean the 'self preservation instinct' removed????
No, absolutely not. It’s the opposite. Mules will straight up refuse to do things if they don’t have the confidence that they can complete it. This is where the term “stubborn as a mule” comes from. A horse would attempt these feats and break its weak little ankles and roll over and kill its rider. Mules do this because they know they can. That’s also why mules and donkeys are used as mounts around the Grand Canyon, they’re both sure-footed and stubborn and will refuse to do things that put them and the rider in danger when a horse would listen to the call of the void and just do it. Donkeys are less domesticated than mules, less dependent on humans and more self-assured, this is why they can be harder to train but also why they have such great self-preservation skills. A mule inherits those traits from its father.
This was my art school’s water fountain. Drink from them wolf tiddies
Assignment misunderstood. I have now built a city.
