Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

heterosexual cowboy

"She has launched him down a path she can't follow" EXACTLY what I was thinking. It's so tragic yet an intriguing read.

She convinces him to do the murder …… they almost never speak again

I think people see Cassius as an antagonist because he was jealous of Caesar and wanted to kill him because of his growing power. Also he lowkey manipulated Brutus. But it was actually sort of sympathetic when he died just because of a misunderstanding

Tell me why in the tags!!

(p.s. I really wanted to put Claudius, Don John, and Regan and Goneril on here, but no space. So if you vote for one of them put it in the tags and please know they were in my heart.)

I found a schoolbook version of Macbeth from 1910(!!!) for $10 fucking dollars. Complete with handwritten notes on almost every page

THIS. I crave this. Minus the science part, high-school made sure of that.

i love studying. i love writing. i love reading. i love learning languages. i love doing mathematics. i love wandering over some particular sum and trying to come up with formulas to solve it. i love physics. i love biology. i love chemistry. i love history. i love literature. i love learning.

not to achieve the perfect grades ever. but it just amazes me that there's so much to know and learn and write and read about in the universe. my curiosity wouldn't get enough of it.

The older you get, the more depressing House Of Hades feels like

UNCLE RICK WHY MUST YOU HURT ME THIS WAY

I finished Julius Caesar yesterday, and I was writing a review on the betrayal part and then I see this💀. I gotta admit, I love this interpretation way better

I don't care what official translations say, I chose to believe "Et tu, Brute?" translates to "What the FUCK, Brutus?"

I love when a new person follows me because like

Why did you do that

What was going through your head when you pressed that button

[deadpoetssphere]

I KID YOU NOT I TEARED UP OMG WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME

I never fully realised how heartbreaking this "I choose the prophecy" thing is. Imagine you are Annabeth. Imagine you are fourteen and the boy you have a crush on since over a year just broke literally any rule, travelled across the whole country and held the dam sky to save you, and you hear him say: "I'm gonna die in two years, because otherwise this poor little boy would have to carry the burden of the prophecy and I can't let this happen."

Edit: I feel like y'all still aren't sobbing enough, so I'd also like to remind you that six months later, Annabeth goes into the labyrinth and gets the prophecy "and your love will face a fate worse than death".

When they said Artemis was the smart one, they weren't lying

Apollo: Pick a card, any card Hermes: Okay Apollo: Apollo: Any card did not include my credit card, kindly hand it back

You can literally just snap your fingers and shut em' up

Apollo: Pick a card, any card Hermes: Okay Apollo: Apollo: Any card did not include my credit card, kindly hand it back

Apollo's freckles make up constellations.

(Artemis got some inspiration from them, just don't tell him, shhh).
