terfs dont target trans men the same as trans women because they view us as âlost womynâ and âconfused butchesâ so their goal is to save us. the goal for trans women? to kill them. do you see the difference??
trans women are real women reblog to make a trans woman feel safe
yknow if romeo had just Cried on juliets corpse for a couple hours instead of drinking poison Right Then they would have been Fine
The moral of the story is: always take time to cry for a few hours before making important decisions.
So Iâm more or less being facetious here, but this is actually a thing.
Hamlet is genre savvy. Hamlet knows how Tragedies work, and heâs not going to rush in and get stabby without making absolutely certain heâs got all the facts.
Except once he thinks he has all the facts â once heâs certain that it really is the ghost of his father and Claudius really did kill him, he rushes in and stabs the wrong guy, which starts a domino line of deaths and gets Laertes embroiled in his own revenge tragedy and ultimately results in the deaths of nearly every character other than Horatio.
Thatâs the irony and the tragedy of the story. Hamlet knows his tropes and actively tries to avoid them, and the tropes get him anyway. Itâs inevitable, the tropes are hungry.
I want a sticker that says the tropes are hungry so I can put it on my laptop
i met a scholar once who said that tragedies arenât about a silly âflawâ or anything, itâs about having a hero whoâs just in the wrong goddamn story
if hamlet swapped places with othello he wouldnât be duped by any of iagoâs shit, heâd sit down & have a good think & actually examine the facts before taking action. meanwhile in denmark, othello would have killed claudius before act 2 could even start. but instead nope, theyâre both in situations where their greatest strengths are totally useless and now weâve got all these bodies to bury.
The tropes are hungry and the hero is in the wrong goddamn story.
I love this post.
