#be bold be bold but not too bold

Bartók wrote at the time of composition [of the opera Bluebeard's Castle]: 'Women should be accorded the same liberties as men. Women out to be free to do the same things as men, or men out not to be free to do things women aren't supposed to do - I used to believe this to be so for the sake of equality...' He does not go on to retract his opinion, but qualifies it as necessary because repressing women's desires constitutes a graver risk than allowing them equal expression. The heroines of twentieth-century stories about marriage to a beast no longer reject him: they are shown welcoming the discoveries the union brings them. The opera dramatizes a ritual of an initiation which can never be fully achieved, and its ultimate import, unlike its predecessor's, stresses surrender: Judith meets the fate that the earlier heroines are spared, but she steps into the void fully aware of what she is doing.

#Aaaaaaaa #he looks like some sort of gangly baby sheep #does his ma not feed him #instantly wormified the man by putting a tube scarf over his ears #the pathetic little tail is what gets me #it's character accurate like his tail isn't supposed to be something to write home about but here it's just extra meager #big wet eyes #sock creature #leggy varmint #thank you this in fact made me feel better #gift art #arttsuka #own characters #Machete #personally I might've switched the onesie color to his usual orangish scarlet but hot pink is a bold choice too #he looks like a Barbie pet dog minus all the glamour

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 4: Deranged Bedfellows

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.5)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #mdzs au #lan wangji #nie huaisang #Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU #This is the *first* part of what was supposed to be a much longer comic (LWJ's morning routine in full). #I'll finish the remaining part as a reblog to this post! I just think this is the funnier chunk. #Lan Wangji absolutely is the kind of person who has a perfect internal alarm clock for when it is time to get up. #He already has a dedicated sleep schedule. He is accurate within 10 seconds of 5am every day. #I think the Jiang disciples are most likely used to waking up around 6:00-7:00am #But the allure of having a guaranteed time keeper getting you up in the morning is worth the earlier hour. #I imagine they started outside lwj's door and slowly moved closer as the weeks went on. #Now LWJ has to cope with being way too warm in the night from all the extra body heat. #LWJ is not a fan of this but they scamper off immediately after he wakes up and they at least show initiative to follow routine. #NHS joins in only because he is a chronically heavy sleeper and needs this level of intervention to get up early. #His boldness would be a death sentence in the cloud recesses but here? Whole new game. #Yungmeng Jiang isn't a lawless land. It's just a land with different laws. #And one of those laws is to forcefully domesticate the catboy coded Lan boy through any means necessary. #Completely different tangent: I drew the thumbnail for this before I did comic 134. I then realized they had the same visual gag. #So I had to space this one out so it didn't seem like I repeated the waking up joke. That's my secret and all of you have to keep it. #And in my land the law is that snitches get itches (telepathically transfers hives onto your body)

Mockery of the audience

[ID: Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fanart of Kim Dokja standing in a mocking pose with his back to the viewer, speaking to a huge gallery of silhouettes. He's in his Demon King form, and one of his legs is kicked back as he raises his hands dramatically. Most of the scene is shaded in dark purple, but Dokja is cast in bright red. A huge purple eye with a star-shaped pupil stares down from above, casting a spotlight over Dokja. End ID]

#i dont have anything emo and smart to say im too tired #Anyways reflected in the eye is dokja himself #He's mocking the audience and putting on such a grand and bold act #But who's his target? The faceless constellations? They're included but he is the same as them #At the end its his own face staring back at him #He's making a mockery of the audience and hes subjected to the mockery of the audience #orv #orv spoilers #omniscient readers viewpoint #kim dokja #orv kdj #demon king of salvation #oldest dream #<- implied lol #my art

the writers have to hate malakai like his ex boyfriend is literally insane and threatening him while also dating and being obsessed with his ex girlfriend that he’s still in love with he can never win

#heartbreak high #heartbreak high spoilers #malakai mitchell #edgy bold font i will protect you #people critiquing malakai for getting pissy with amerie is so funny because if i saw my exgf making out with my exbf i would be mad too! #please please please bring this man back for s3 and give him a nonevil bf as endgame

Interview with the vampire is literally my favourite show and all I ask

Is it be bold and fully go there with these two. The audience is as sick and twisted as the vampires and yes we want to see him fuck that old man!

#that’s all I ask #devil's minion #armand #IWTV #Eric is very unironically Anthony-Bourdain-hot to me #and Assad is the most beautiful cherubic person I’ve ever seen #so yes we’d like to see it please #in hd #assad zaman #eric bogosian #mine #daniel molloy #be bold and graphic too with it

There's something so important to me that macaque has only shown physical or emotional affection to mk in current times

Like they are buddies man... macaque cares for mk <<33

#lmk #lego monkie kid #and would it be too bold for me to say he always cared #that macaque never disliked mk but his feelings about wukong overpowered any postive ones about mk at the start #would it be too bold to say that macaque sees the good parts of wukong in mk and wants to protect it #would it be too bold to say that macaque ever since the end of shadow play was trying to help mk despite his life being on the line #would it

Thinking something about how being the final bride of Bluebeard necessarily means separating yourself from the previous ones, putting yourself in a different category. There is a renunciation in that, in the determination that their fate will not be yours. But of course the structure of the tale makes it so that the only unity with them possible is in death (unless the wives are not dead; but the renunciation is still required). How to find a way out of this.

modern au where bertie wears these shitty t shirts with increasingly bizarre slogans that keep getting more and more specific

one day he'll wear one that just says I <3 JEEVES and no one will even bat an eyelid

also i gave him funny little heart-shaped sunglasses cause they match his vibe and would send jeeves into cosmic stuffed frog territory

#jooster #bertie wooster #jeeves and wooster #he really does kidnap unattended children in canon so that ones perhaps scotland yard mandated #pg wodehouse #i always fluctuate in modern aus between thinking bertie would dress like this or like fran fine from the nanny #just all bold patterns and bright colours and everythings far too tight #he'd kill that dress fran has with the fruit on it
