Proust, Joyce, Faulkner, Rilke, Lawrence, Gide…one could go on citing author after author; the list is endless of those around whom thick encrustations of interpretation have taken hold. But it should be noted that interpretation is not simply the compliment that mediocrity pays to genius. It is, indeed, the modern way of understanding something, and is applied to works of every quality. Thus, in the notes that Elia Kazan published on his production of A Streetcar Named Desire, it becomes clear that, in order to direct the play, Kazan had to discover that Stanley Kowalski represented the sensual and vengeful barbarism that was engulfing our culture, while Blanche Du Bois was Western civilization, poetry, delicate apparel, dim lighting, refined feelings and all, though a little the worse for wear to be sure. Tennessee Williams’ forceful psychological melodrama now became intelligible: it was about something, about the decline of Western civilization. Apparently, were it to go on being a play about a handsome brute named Stanley Kowalski and a faded mangy belle named Blanche Du Bois, it would not be manageable.
— Susan Sontag, from "Against Interpretation"

Absolutely disastrous Daniel & Susan fake dating plot where Ali and Daniel broke up earlier in the second half of senior year and at some point Susan comes to Daniel and tries to convince him that they should pretend to date to make Ali (andJohnny) jealous (Susan is convinced that if she can just keep Daniel and Johnny focused on each other maybe the rest of them won’t have to deal with their weird bullshit, and she’ll finally get a chance to have Ali all to herself if she can just get her new stupid UCLA boyfriend out of the way)
She’s not exactly straightforward about any of this with Daniel, though. Why would she be
Daniel: You mean. Make Ali jealous, right?
Susan:
Susan: Right.
Susan: Obviously that would be a big part of it.
Daniel:
Daniel: You also said something about Johnny.
Susan: Hm?
Daniel: You said it would make Johnny jealous. Don’t know if that’s really something I’m looking to do, I mean— That’s kind of what started our whole thing in first place.
Susan: Your whole thing. Yeah.
Daniel: Is it just because you don’t like him? Like you just think it’d be funny to mess with him?
Susan: Well, from the circumstances, I wouldn’t have thought you would have liked him very much either.
Daniel:
Daniel: Right. Yeah. Obviously. Of course.
Susan: Of course.
Daniel:
Susan:
Daniel: *Clears throat* So I mean. Fuck that Chad guy right

Here's my random list of people I'd like to see on taskmaster at some point and why:
The six idiots - it will be chaotic and just make me so happy, I feel for the most chaos Simon and Ben would be good but I want to see all of them
David Mitchell - I would love to see his rants at the unfairness of the scoring
Sandi toksvig - I feel she'll be good at finding loopholes, which I always love
Simon bird - he's in two of my favourite series, the inbetweeners and Friday night dinner, just let me see him in taskmaster
Susan calman - I feel she would get angry at the tasks and then Alex, getting her bonus points
Susie dent - honestly a wildcard from me but it will be great to see her using the wordings of tasks to her benefit
Bill bailey - the musical tasks will be so good to watch
Robin ince - I feel he might be an underdog but will be so entertaining
John finnemore - again I think he'll be chaotic but also have quite a bit out of the box thinking

Because Billy Zabka is from New York and his accent is very very obvious in the first movie (especially in the deleted scenes), I think it'd be very fun to imagine a hockey au where Johnny plays for the Rangers and Daniel plays for the Devils and they have such a severe rivalry that they can't go any game without fighting each other.
But then Johnny ends up getting traded to the Devils after a bit of a sketchy trade and it is absolute chaos in the Prudential Center.
HI HAHAHA THIS TOOK ME FOREVER TO ANSWER SORRY SIFIEIFIF ... Mostly cuz I don't know anything about hockey, BUT:
I googled the territories and the VERY STRONG rivalry between the Devils and the Rangers. And honing in on this between Johnny and Daniel? HEHEHE I AM OBSESSED!
I have read a couple hockey aus, and even an ice dancer/hockey player au, so they are out there if you haven't read them!! Unfortunately I can't specifically recall titles or authors :/
Also since, as you can tell, I am not a sports person, I googled the teams' uniforms ... and I find it veeeery interesting that, from what I can tell, Daniel is in the red uniform at first while Johnny's in blue. Sort of a switcheroo from their usual color symbolism in Cobra Kai haha.
Not to mention that Daniel's a "Devil" like HAHAHA oh man I can only imagine the shitty corny insults Johnny comes up with. But then Johnny gets TRADED? lol sucks to be you, man (actually no it doesn't, get ready to be hit not with just pucks and sticks and competitive bodies, but the GAYLOVE BEAM as well)
Also imagining the coverage of this is hilarious. "Well, if Lawrence and LaRusso would stop making eyes at each other and undergoing intricate rituals to touch each other's skin, maybe we'd fucking get somewhere in this match!"
Also!! In the movie, Ali is a karate fan! She knows things about karate! She knows how the tournament works! She's watched it! She's engaged! So I can only imagine she's a hockey fan too. And she sees right through these two's idiocy mwahaha. Also, Susan is some kind of hockey player too and they're in lesbians with each other, I'm obsessed with this too.
HEY BOYS IF YOU COULD TAKE AFTER THE GIRLS THAT WOULD BE GREAT. PLEASE NO MORE KNOCKING TEETH OUT. JUST KISS FFS
lmfao I'm sure I did not answer this adequately but given my lack of expertise, I think I did...my best. LOL. thank you anon for the lawrusso delusions <3

how would johnny look if he was a fairy?
maybe something like that
hes based off of golden target beetles!!!!!! i didnt draw the carapace cause im lazy!!!!!!
just so u guys know!!!!! the fairy thingy isnt a closed species or whatever🤯 u can make your own fairies and stuff idc u can make fairy ocs and stuff!!!!! the only real "rules" to the species is that theyre only based off of winged bugs, they can have human or non human skin, they all have some sort of markings that resemble their bug, and they can be based off of only one bug😁
below is a picture of johnnys bug so if u dont like bugs donr look at it😠😠
such a silly little guy

okay so do you guys know that part in ck when ali and johnny see each other again and ali says something like:
"my daughter was on the path to becoming a ballerina and then she joined a punk band"
that led me to the head cannon that in college ali, susan and barbara created a band and were semi-popular in the late 80s-90s.
like imagine jessica somehow becomes friends with one of them and invites daniel to one of their shows. she's all like "Daniel you HAVE to come to my friends show sometime you'll love it". and so they go and daniel is just bugging out trying to figure out if that's ali or not because she dyed her hair and she looks completely different from when he last saw her.
but then. imagine this okay. hear me out on this.
so we know johnny 'partied through all of his 20s' and also loves music (specifically rock) so just imagine him and the cobras ALSO going to the same concert as jessica and daniel. IT HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL. LIKE HOW WOULD THEY REACT??? AHHHH.
anyway this was just a really long post about how I think her daughter saw old pictures of her back when she was in the band and thought 'holy FUCK thats so cool'
and so she asked ali about it and ali brought up a huge bin from her basement with all her old clothes and stuff from then and so now that's all her daughter wears.
