(below the cut for controversial take)

I don’t like the breakfast club. Actually I kinda hate it. 5/10 movie would not recommend.

#sorry for being dramatic but I know that that movie is worshipped in some tumblr circles #Admittedly if I didn’t have to watch it for class I would probably hate it less #ngl it would have been a 10/10 if the movie would have ended with Claire punching John instead of. y’know. Making out with him. #I know the Alison makeover scene is controversial here but tbh I didn’t care +I’m gonna assume that the new outfit was fashionable back the #yeah it looks weird now but beauty standards and fashion changes a lot over time

I gotta tell you all about my marketing professor later so this is a reminder to myself to get to that eventually

[edettethegreat]

I gotta let you all know that I had waffle chicken (or whatever it’s called when you have waffles and chicken together) for the first time today and it was amazing fantastic incredible 10/10 would highly recommend and would have it again

#if they keep giving me good food this account’s gonna turn into a food blog #yes that’s a threat

[edettethegreat]

but on that note where are all the Edmund King Lear blogs? Are there no active Edmund enthusiasts currently? Because I just went through the tag and there’s nothing new there

#nothing good at least #just occasional casual mentions of him #this isn’t right #i demand justice for my boy #gotta be tumblr’s number 1 Edmund defender #or at least number two behind @/suits-of-woe if they’re still active

I need y’all to know that I’m taking a Shakespeare course next semester so if you see a sudden influx of the usual content again. yeah

#and the professor’s RateMyProfessor reviews are amazing #Really the best reviews I’ve ever seen #next semester’s gonna be great

.

absolutely pisses me off to no end when someone online sees a name in a language they don’t speak and goes “no one even knows how to pronounce that LMAO” because I just saw this three times on three different sites referring to three different names and lemme tell you there are plenty of people in the world who know how to pronounce those names. English isn’t the only language to exist and your culture isn’t the only culture to exist

#And one of the names in question is a name that four or five ppl I know have #because it’s really common here #So all the people in that YouTube comment section who were like “that’s not a real name lmao what is that” #No it’s very real it’s just not English

ok it’s eclipse day who’s excited

#who’s counting down the hours until the eclipse #3 more hours #a bunch of professors are cancelling classes so students can go see it

the stooges / the dream thieves by maggie stiefvater / phoebe bridgers / how to be a dog by andrew kane / sleepycorvid / mitski / margaret atwood / ethel cain

#can I express a casual appreciation for dog motif #i scrolled passed this but I need it here #would have saved it to drafts as a private way of saving things I liked #but I’d hate to keep the tasty food tumblr cooks up for us all to myself

Another year, another group of my delightful ninth graders trying to spell the word "tragedy" for their Romeo and Juliet assignment.

Last year's collection

#I cant spell tragedy either I relate

[edettethegreat]

wow the earth is literally quaking

#just experienced my first earthquake which is extremely weird because there aren’t supposed to be earthquakes where I live #It’s ok it was chill I’m just concerned about the foundations of the houses here #because they really aren’t built for earthquakes

yoooo we’re getting a new TCOMC series!!

FENNICK IS IN THE MONTE CRISTO SHOW?

#dont get your hopes up I see the cast list includes Albert and Maximillian but not Valentine. always a bad sign. #based on the characters mentioned in the cast list (on Wikipedia at least) I think they’re gonna thoroughly cut the Villefort family drama #will I watch this? Yes. will I most likely be disappointed? I mean. #has there ever been a solid adaptation of tcomc? No and I doubt there ever will be #but a tv series is definitely the best format for one #so I guess I shouldnt be so pessimistic right off the bat #ok ok let’s see how this goes

[edettethegreat]

excuse me. but I think I may be right.

Sorry Connect I deeply apologize for using the more correct term

#School is. frustrating #It’s ok this isn’t an exam #but still

[edettethegreat]

Happy Ides of March everyone! Friendly reminder to bring your knives to the senate today

#It’s that time of year again

Which one of Shakespeare's books would you recommend to someone who hasn't read any of his works before?

I mean that’s completely a matter of personal taste, the first Shakespeare play I’ve ever read in school was The Tempest and tbh I really didn’t like it—so luckily even if you start off with a play you don’t like, that doesn’t mean you’re doomed forever to dislike Shakespeare.

These videos were my real introduction to Shakespeare, so if you wanna get quick little summaries of some of Shakespeare’s most famous plays and see what appeals to you, you can now easily do that

#I personally love almost all the tragedies #King Lear. Hamlet. Coriolanus. Othello. Macbeth. Titus Andronicus. #I’m ok with Romeo and Juliet but it’s not really in my top tier of Shakespeare’s works #And for comedies I’m gonna be really basic and say Twelfth Night is the best #Most of his comedies are more depressing than his tragedies #Most of his tragedies are much funnier than his comedies #Both of those statements are true and any shakespeare fan out there can back me up #Hamlet’s hilarious. Taming of the Shrew is horrifying. #Anyway. #asks #shakespeare

All Winter in a Day: Ray Bradbury’s exciting sequel

it's kind of crazy climate change has occurred at such a remarkable pace that I and everyone else around my age can remember a completely different climate in our childhoods. I truly watched winter gradually disappear in my life.

#yeah I think I’m funny #ray bradbury

[edettethegreat]

#I am. Having a Time #everything will be ok #But for now. #College professors be like: I’m gonna make y’all compete with each other for an A #Is this even allowed What are the policies about competitive grading

[edettethegreat]

woke up this morning to this notification from my professor

#glad he has a sense of humor #still not gonna do it ‘til Friday though
