ok once midterms are done and i have a bit of free time i might write out a post breaking down why hidgens asking for $30 million to fund working boys in hatchetfield ape-man is absolutely insane in every way possible

#max rambles #if he went straight to off broadway and transfered to broadway its way too much for what that show would need #and still pretty crazy if he went straight to broadway #and ofc its an amount so insane that he just could not use all that money at the starlight #the starlight is a regional theater like cmon dude #theres a bit of a chance too that the starlight (as in the company there that actually agrees to put on workin boys) is a not for profit #but almost certainly not but theres the chance #and i would go into detail on that possibility too #i did not have 7 weeks of learning about the business of theater and budgeting and shit to not look way too deep into how hidgens would use #that 30 mil if he actually got it #starkid #hatchetfield #workin boys #anyway

people made ""exclusionism"" bad because they couldnt handle other people in groups they want to be part of establishing boundaries and saying "no sorry, your experience isnt actually the same"

#like thats not violent youre just a baby who cant handle being told no #sorry not sorry im so tired of this shit #some things are exclusionary like closed practices and that doesnt make them bad that just means you cant respect boundaries #people wanting community with those with experiences similar to them isnt being bugoted against you yhey just want their actual community #it doesnt mean people hate you or want you dead it just means they dont relate #its not that deep #also ive seen exclusionism used as a phrase to even talk about normal boundaries so like cmon yall #to be clear this is about tumblr level complaints

May I ask about your beef with T.S. Elliott? I don't know much about him, but I'm curious as to your opinions on him.

Um well I don't like Eliot for many reasons (I wrote a whole blog post on this for school haha) so I'll try to make it quick but it really breaks down to three subjects for me

1. His personal life

2. His actual body of work

3. His reception and legacy

In terms of personal life, he of course really sucked, like (this is from memory so there may be mistakes) he institutionalized his wife and didn't visit her for a decade (and she died in the institution), he also was publically antisemitic, and very, very good friends (like besties) with Ezra Pound, the poet whose most famous poem is his 800 page lament on the fall of Mussolini and spent all of wwii betraying his country and making + promoting axis propaganda, so that's just like a whole can of worms there to unpack.

With his like actual work stuff, this is probably where I give him the most leeway bc he has a few lines that genuinely go really fucking hard. Like there are some lines where I 100% understand why he is a behemoth in the world of poetry. Like "this is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper" and "do I dare disturb the universe? In a minute there is time for decision and revisions which a minute can reverse" and "I will show you fear in a handful of dust" all go so hard. They do. This is true. But the rest of his work is just really nonsensical to me (and I've read his most famous pieces many times) and requires heavy academic investment to try and understand. I'm talking like intense knowledge of classical and medieval works, at least 3 languages besides English, etc.

Like there's more deciphering involved than actual poetry (I think in the book for the Waste Land there literally is more end notes than poem. And that poem is Long). And like this feeds into the third point I have which is the reception of his stuff and how I hate that T S Eliot is put up as like "total genius, greatest of all time, PINNACLE of poetry" by some people. Because I very think it starts falling into an elitist attitude of "getting" Eliot and seeing like deciphering these pieces as some sort of accomplishment on its own in a way that doesn't feel genuine to me.

Like there's just something off there about the vibes to me. That for some people they care more abt "understanding" Eliot then engaging w the themes of the poems themselves and then just brag about reading Eliot a lot (and likely Pound too and much of the imagist movement) in a way that again I just don't like.

And I think doing this and lifting Eliot up so high when his poetry is in the style it is actually hurt poetry a bit as an art form because like. It is what poetry haters accuse poetry of being like it's inaccessible, complicated, hard to read, and people get snobby about it. And I think people see that and get the wrong idea or confirm wrong ideas they had about poetry as a whole from his work which breaks me heart.

TLDR Eliot has a couple lines I think are absolute fire, but I dislike most of work. I don't like the imprint him and his reputation have had in regard to poetry, and I think he was a horrible human being.

& Every once and a while I'll read some of his more popular poems to check that they're still bad and pay a visit to the one line I like hidden within 60 bad ones

#also im not saying that his stuff isnt interesting if you get all the references. its possible that it is and really is that amazing or #whatever. i just dont speak french and italian and sanskrit and have deep knowledge of myths and texts (classic and medieval) from like #all of europe and also india. like ahduahdhr cmon #not trying to sound anti intellectual here because i definitely not and if you enjoy eliot go for it. again there are pieces i like #im just not a fan of the attitude around him and his stuff is purposely obtuse and i think that should be said #that its not the standard or the norm or the goal or the ANYTHING of poetry. its just a poem that ppl can decide they like or dont #<that comment amd much of this post is abt the waste land btw #hope that makes you happy anon

came to the startling realization just now that there are people who actually think light was totally fine and all his evilness came from the death note. ermmm. loud incorrect buzzer

#i definitely agree that the death note's power probably made him worse. but he was bad before that guys.... #i mean i guess i cant totally get mad at those people since the yotsuba arc does show us a light w/o memories of being kira who is like. #pretty ok and is like n-no i could never be kira!!1! :(( so i could see how someone who isnt reading too deep into it could think that #but like. as far as i can recall we dont get tooooo much of light's inner thoughts during that time #so honestly you could totally assume for a lot of moments that he's just doing his thing hes ALWAYS done of pretending to be nice/''normal' #its hard to say. but i really doubt that light was totally good beforehand is whats supposed to be intended LOL #esp since like. he came up w the new world thing IMMEDIATELY after getting the death note #we know he was thinking about stuff like that beforehand. we can argue about semantics of how much of light's corruption is from the note #itself but you are not gonna sit here and tell me that just touching it instantly makes you evil. cmon now thats just not true #he sucks with or without the death note. it just gave him a tool to enact his suckery. it enabled him #serena.txt #death note posting #also i saw someone claim that the author said somewhere that L didnt mean his statement about light being his one true friend #LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER. sorry buddy you never said that in the text itself and wrote shit that very much indicates otherwise so you're not #allowed to say that after the fact. death of the author + the final arc you wrote was bad + you're homophobic so why would i even listen to #you + L + ratio #L viewed light as his friend. sorry!

WHY CAN'T TUMBLR HAVE A SEARCH BUTTON WITHIN YOUR LIKED POSTS?! Excuse me that I don't wanna search the interdimensional ends of a tag to find one post that really resonated with me with 5 likes or that one fic that just triggers my happy hormones because it's buried under 942 other liked posts or that one aesthetic no one reps anymore because 😭😭

#like cmon #i know you can do better #and you can hold yourself to some standard #SOME NOT TOO MUCH #tumblr is a disaster #tumblr shit #rant cw #just angy #kinda nostalgia? even if its deep within my liked posts #annoyed af #and sad

Inkopolis feels underbaked and the squids sisters feel shoehorned in with no real reason except nostalgia

#splatoon 3 #im sorry but like why did they go back to being idols after 7 years????? #and have the exact same outfits and hair again. #ig its for people that missed the splatfests from one but cmon they dont even play the og songs in battles #inkopolis dlc #also no hotlantis shopkeeper?? #also they havent really updated their dancing animations and it looks embarrassing compared to how expressive deep cut it #it just feels like narratively that chapter of their life closed #or they would AT LEAST keep their current haircuts to represent their growth #it just makes them feel frozen in time. everything except them has moved on #squid sisters #splatfest #but still. no news but they're in the news building? #NO THIRD PERSON FOR THE THIRD TEAM??? CAPTAIN 3 IS RIGHT THERE

oh i love how mlp s4 started out i really did love twilicorn actually. castle mane-ia is such a silly episode i love how the show went from awkward bits of not knowing exactly what it wanted to be to embracing itself and taking something previously mentioned offhandedly and turning it into a whole Thing

#talking #like i love how everyone in ponyville just accepts that they live next to a haunted forest w an old ass castle buried deep within #when aj tells dash granny smith told her a scary story abt the castle. idk thats so cute #Babe my grandma practically founded this town theres creepy shit down here. #rares taking flutters to find tapestries she heard were in there. i love them #also the animation got nicer and nicer!!! like the animators got more comfortable and knew what to do as the show went on #the lighting and bgs are super nice here especially #this is all kinda reminding me of my brother and i's adventure time rewatch from last summer #esp since adventure time rly was just doing an entire yes-and'ing improv bit the whole time and ended up being an insane story #mlp was more planned out but like im remembering this thing i saw someone say once #where the whole simon ice king thing came from ice king knowing a marceline song despite them never having met at that point in the show #AKA!!!! i miss longrunning shows that became cultural icons and changed the game for all of history. #bring that shit back #EDIT I FORGOT I WANTED TO ADD THIS: #cmon girls its a nice summer day it's time to explore this creepy ass castle!!!!!!!!!!
