Hoffstrahm date night except whoever drinks the cup full of rat poison first has to pay the bill

#there are multiple beverages in the table. it could be in the lemonade it could be in the bloody mary. who knows #they just keep ordering the most expensive shit on the menu to make sure one of them gets out of it financially ruined #and if it actually gets too expensive by the end they just dine and dash anyway lmfao #saw #hoffstrahm #coffinshipping

Hmmm if Henry wasn't king and just some normal lord or Duke or whatever and he did some shit that required him needing a lawyer and that lawyer was Thomas...Thomas would drop him as a client expeditiously I fear.

#do i wanna make this an au? #like 'you slept with the mother and sisters and pissed the dad off what is there more for us to discuss #you're going to pay a small fine' #and henry would just lose it like 'youre supposed to win me this case not ruin me financially' #henry is just so hard to work with #THEY would start arguing in court #Thomas would be like ' i need to step out for a moment to gather my thoughts' and would never come back #at the end of it #henry finds thomas to yell at him and he also still owes thomas #and after the tongue lashings they give each other and maybe him getting in Thoma's face one to many times and almost getting whacked #he hits thomas with the “Are you seeing anyone? We should go out to eat since you're such a bad lawyer” #then that his its problems becaws why?? #henry is buying so much food and thomas still hasn't been paid #the family herny slept with still hasn't been paid #it's hectic #you know #i've writen so many somber wolfhall fics and am writing another one #i just need ONE funny one #wolf hall #thomas cromwell #henry viii

not until i started reading restoration and post-restoration plays written by women like aphra behn and susanna centlivre did i fully understand romantic comedy on another level. the male love interests are just built better. like as much as i love a midsummer night's dream, if i were hermia i would never risk death or a forced life in a nunnery for lysander. no. hell no. he's just ken. but if i were miranda would i risk my thirty-thousand-pound inheritance to elope with sir george airy? if i were leticia would i contemplate leaving behind my country and my hated old husband i was tricked into marrying the second i learn that belmour is still alive, to live with his banished ass in exile? hm. let me thin—yes.

#text post #tales from diana #aphra behn #susanna centlivre #the busybody #the lucky chance #i think i enjoyed the men and the relationships in the lucky chance moreso than i did in the rover or the feigned courtesans #(the other two behn plays i've read so far) #i loved her characterizations of the women in both plays of course but i didn't quite feel myself in their situations #it was also quite more reliant on the same character archetypes #the modest one ends up with the selfless lovesick hero and the more innocent libertine one ends up w a reformed dashing rake. #and i'm ok w that right? like those tropes make sense. the plots and the witty dialogue are still enjoyable #but i find the lucky chance really upped the stake of the melodrama as well as the foils between the two main couples were more complex #you have one very melodramatic honest couple (leticia and belmour) who narrowly escape ruinous disaster #and then lawfully make their love official (most luckily BEFORE leticia has slept w fainwould and consummated the marriage) #and then you have the much more complicated and comical relationship between mr. gayman and julia fulbank #lady fulbank's marriage is done and done. no averting it. but she unabashedly carries a torch for him #she admits as much to her husband that she still loves him and she doesn't really care who knows #but she wants to be honorable to her marriage bc that's the lot she's chosen in life—his material comfort #and she does use that to the benefit of gayman when he's in financial ruin. #but her two stupid men. her lover and her husband. more or less work together to make her work against her own honorable wishes #she's compromised. and she SORT of gets what she really wants. she willfully foreswears the bed of her gross husband forever #and it's ambiguous whether or not she chooses to cuck him for gayman while he's still alive or what #very interesting ambiguous ending and i've never seen another character quite like lady fulbank in literature from that time #the lucky chance is worthy of far more study and interest than it's received. it's so funny and incredibly challenging #also. men don't hide in treasure chests enough anymore #more plots where men hide in treasure chests. thank you cymbeline by shakespeare and the lucky chance by behn. you guys got it

i ended up having a like. 30 minute conversation with some of those "freedom convoy" people. was at the bus stop. they were wearing trump hats. i ended up roped into the conversation because i was so taken aback at seeing one in public i was just. staring at it. ive never felt more depressed about someone elses life and beliefs than when i talked to them.

#they fucking. tokd me about the litterboxes in schools for kids identifying as cats and i had to #break it to them that that wasnt true and explained that. also explained. what its like yo be autistic. how i find it joyful #and also discussed how they believe trump has been spoken to by god and chosen to lead and how they arent christians or catholics like they #used to be but instead talk directly to him and have him inside them #and also apparently how 15 minute cities in china are used to keep people imprisoned where they are #and we arent a democracy anymore. which was so funny considering. they are participating for a party #running in the election #i gave them my perspective on being transgender and gay and watched them have like. 3 or 4 ''are we the baddies'' moments #explained what puberty blockers actually do. that surgery is paid out of peoples own pockets. that we literally only have #one doctor who can perform these surgeries and hes abt to retire #and at the end of the convo they were like ''youre so pleasant. youre really smart young lady'' and i was like ''ty? i just. read a lot' #god i hope they learned. something. or i changed some opinion. they seemed to have a more positive view of autistic people at least #i just like. fuck dude. these fuckin right wing grifters are ruining these peoples lives. #the lady has been unemployeed since covid cos she got sucked into this antivax stuff and now theyre both financially unstable #perfect targets for tamaki and the freedoms people who were known for squeezing money out of people through bogus religious stuff #those two have been twisted into just. hateful and scared and are saying the most. insane shit and they dont even realize it. #and the worst part of it was the amount of young people there. so many people my age just deluded into this nonsense. #and kids JESUS CHRIST so many kids holding signs about ''protecting the kiwi way of life'' like bro every single thing #you are getting upset about an imported culture war. you arent threatened by this shit. #youve latched onto american culture war stuff because youre insecure in your whiteness and existence in a colonial country #its so fucking evil.

anyway the goblin antagonist of hogwarts legacy is, yes, the ultimate antagonist, works with dark wizards to harvest (or steal previously harvested? unclear in the summary i read) magical energy from wizards including children — there's, allegedly, a scene where they explicitly discuss abducting a child. the antagonism is first framed as the goblin wanting to reclaim goblin-made artifacts and magic but is later revealed as an enterprise of personal greed for the goblin, who steals all the power for himself at the end of the game and turns into a dragon (you know, a giant lizard). this is the big plot of the game, is the goblin and his associated evil characters stealing an essence from children for their personal evil magical use, and then at the end of the game, the goblin turns into a big lizard. hogwarts legacy really is antisemitic tropes: the video game.

#hogwarts legacy #hogwarts legacy for ts #antisemitism / #nat.txt #this game has everything! blood libel! hook nosed caricatures! secret lizard people! transphobia! #literally no amount of toothless nostalgia is worth supporting this game. #aside from the fact that buying it financially supports jk rowling the entire plot is an exercise in antisemitism #i don't care how much you loved harry potter as a child. i don't care how it shaped your life. this is vile and cruel-minded top to bottom #''the devs aren't jkr'' no but they did make this piece of shit game so they're not exactly progressively minded are they. #anyway i am maintagging this because i want to spoil it for all the babies in the tag. #if your political alliances with marginalized people end at a video game you deserve to have the ending ruined for you.

[meowmeowmessi]

Laporta saying that so he can spin the "we did everything we could" narrative and blame Tebas or Messi when he inevitably DOESN'T do everything because he's just a piece of shit like that and people will eat it up anyway 😁 you know, I don't want Messi to go back. I want forcing him out like this and being the president who lost him and lied to him to forever be a blight on Laporta. I don't want his image rehabilitated.

tearss first lemme just say this is unreal levels of hating and i admire your dedication fkdjfk

second:

(ignore the source— brunati's the one who posted this, not sport)

looks like they're getting the league's approval + tebas also seems keen on having him back so i think this time it's actually serious. however, you are 100% allowed to drop a "i told you so" in my askbox if laporta chooses to stab messi in the back again lmao (said while coughing blood)

#i get the feeling he'll genuinely try /his/ best to get messi back this time around not just for sporting reasons but also: money #barça aside the league too need the revenue messi generates bc oh lordy are they in the trenches #the thing abt laporta's reputation is still pretty conflicting tbh #laporta (and cruyff) already saved barça from certain doom once by appointing pep as coach #dude's a politician and he knows if he can get messi back he'll be known as the guy who not only saved barça from financial ruin #by making the hard choice of letting messi go (...) #but also brought him back to give the club legend his deserved last dance after wc glory etc etc #i'm rambling but what i'm trying to say is i think he's too shrewd to let what you want to happen #(as koeman said- being known as the guy who let messi go) #well. /happen/ #also you can hate laporta fairs i get the sentiment #but at the expense of messi not returning when he's clearly feeling homesick? is kind of unfair to him imo #in general i think messi hanging up his boots without a return to barça would be an extremely unsatisfying way to end things #you know. storytelling wise #asks

god i wanna start over so bad, i fucked up and ruined university just like high school, and high school was SHIT after what i did, everyone stared at me in the hallways and everything was horrible for years, i don’t wanna go through it again with the time i have left in uni, i wanna go someplace else where nobody knows my face and start fresh with a clean reputation — that i know i’ll ruin in a couple of years but by then i’ll be graduating so i can just start over again in residency

#this could be ab anything i guess but if u kno me at all u know what its ab #i still dont wanna say it out loud #they staged a fucking intervention after class yesterday. i cant go back there after this #i cant face them i dont want to. and my ex bf wants to hang out w me cause we’re still friends and id love to but #all his friends be telling him im a bad influence and shit and i just dont wanna be that person. but i AM that person i cant help it #and some of his friends get real quiet when im around and i wanna go away and be alone but he insists that they like me but its like buddy #they think im dragging u down u said so yourself. some of them give me this look that i cant explain #how can i ever go to class again after every degrading state theyve seen me in #and all the ‘we’re only doing this cause we like u and we’re worried ab u’ yeah right. some of u dont know anything ab me #its not my first intervention and it wont be my last and its not the first time i fuck up and it wont be my last but #i just wish things would go back to the way they were by the end of last year #or even by the beginning of this year (though i was going thru a financial crisis then) #but i cant. its already ruined. its alteady tainted. i slipped and spent the last 6 months making sure of that #vent post #tw

trying to finish my college application essay and i feel like sucking a golfball through a garden hose would require less effort

#like I don't even know if i want to go to college #that's not true actually i just don't know if i can afford it #If i could i would go in a heartbeat #im just afraid of dooming myself to financial ruin #i'll be poor no matter what but if i go i'll end up with debt too #idk i feel like screaming all the time

It’s not news to anyone, but damn it, the US healthcare system is literally the devil and hell on earth.

i don't mind doing the heavy lifting wrt Adult Things ie insurance, house closing, storage, etc etc. what bugs me is that most times, my mom is pretty unwilling to help when I run into a wall and don't know what to do

#vent cw #what if i was evil and signed us up for super expensive dental insurance #i won't but. ugh #like i don't mind filling out applications + getting quotes because it's tedious and i'm faster at it #and my mom is going through things as it is. BUT it is difficult to not get a little sour when i'm raking my head trying to understand #deductible stuff and she's watching a cop show super loudly in the next room over all day long! #it's always like this. we all need insurance we ALL need to clear out the storage but in the end it's always me who has to figure it out by #myself >:( why! i don't want to think about this stuff either but fuck me someone has to do it you know T_T #i've asked her to look into this at least 3 times today and every time i go out of my room she's watching cop shows on tv #like...... PLEASE!!! T___T HELP ME!! crikey #for the most part it's fine but when things like this happen i feel so insignificant. like. lol figure it out <3 #and it'd be one shitty thing if i was just trying to figure out insurance for me and you didn't care to help #but this is literally YOUR insurance!!! i could put you in financial ruin so easily doing this but that is an intrusive thought. obvi i #won't but hhhhh. why can't you support me in this T_T

*manifesting elon musk buys tiktok*

*lighting a candle and crossing my fingers*

#we‘re both manifesting #that makes at least two #he can run every social media except tumblr into the ground for all i care #but making tiktok disappear from the face of the earth should be his first priority #if it would all end with tiktok gone and elon musk in financial ruin the world would be the tiny tiniest bit more balanced out #have a lovely day nonnie! <3 #anon #answer
