Ugh, so I finished watching Will (2017) tv show, and now all I want is to read a bunch of Kit Marlowe/Will Shakespeare fics
The show is great but it's such a shame that they didn't focus on Kit and the relationships that he could have had with Will. The relationship between Will and Alice is explored a little too much in all honesty (maybe I just wanted to see more of Kit and Will together, but can you blame me?) The acting was great though, and the costumes were neat too (modern and punk-like!).
In conclusion, this show would have been even more better if Will and Kit got together, hahaha XD
okay look. i love alice burbage as much as the next guy. she's a wonderful character and cheating aspect aside, she and will were obviously made to be together. she finally found someone who treats her like a person instead of a woman, and he finally found someone who's his intellectual/literary equal
but imagine the scene where they fall asleep writing together and wake up snuggling..... but it's will and kit instead?? I would've loved to see a plot advancement where after faustus, marlowe is just strung out and will, ever the good samaritan (and maybe with a tiny crush) lets kit crash at his place under the condition that he write NOTHING and just take time to rest
but of course being in the presence of this young, fresh (and hot) poet and playwright gets kit's juices flowing -- creatively, of course. so while will is away at the theater kit works feverishly on his own stuff. will finds out through some events happening and instead of reprimanding kit, they each fall into a groove with the other and keep each other motivated
and maybe (probably) it ends in a fling, at least, but most likely something more because the "how do you believe / infect me / you are special and that is why i saved you" scene was so desperate and tender yet completely devoid of sexual tension. they would've been a lovely couple, if short-lived
Addressing the issue of water pollution, the artists collected samples from 100 locations across Taiwan, first freezing the liquids and then preserving their creations in resin.
“His first question was: 'Who's your favourite philosopher?' My heart sank. I wanted to run off and burst into tears. I didn't know any philosophers. And he probably knew I didn't. When I said so, he replied, 'Oh come on, everyone has a favourite philosopher.' It was such a cruel thing to do to a young girl.”
“I was desperate and trying not to cry, but I turned the tables on him and asked him to come up with some names – but he couldn't think of any either! Then he said to me, 'I suppose you've read Dickens,' thinking I hadn't. So I said, 'Yeah, I read him at school.' In the end he said, 'Oh, I can't interview her,' and left the stage.”

Not to out myself as someone that’s been on tumblr for too long, but I’m so sad to see this new trend of people saying “I like this thing, even though the show isn’t airing anymore.” Like? That’s how things work! Keep enjoying them! Art doesn’t just vanish when it’s not airing, and it wasn’t made to be exclusively viewed live! 10+ years ago, the idea of saying “Ah, I’m still here in this fandom 2 years after the show was cancelled 😳” would have been BONKERS!
All these kids saying “It’s so sad the shows gone,” no it’s not!!! I saw your fanart yesterday! Last week you told me about my favorite character’s music playlist!!! I saw them running around in your AMV!
Where’s the longevity?? It was made for you!!! Not TV!!! It was made for keeps!!! Keep it!!! Please!!! That’s how art stays alive!!!
"Refusal to handle military equipment for war in Palestine
While a genocide is underway in Palestine, workers at the various airports in Belgium are seeing weapons headed for war zones.
The loading and unloading of these weapons enables the resupplying of organizations killing innocent people.
We, the different unions active in the ground handling sector, call on our members not to handle flights that ship military material to Palestine/Israel as there were also clear agreements and rules at the start of the conflict with Russia and Ukraine.
We call for an immediate ceasefire and ask the Belgian governments to be consistent and not to tolerate arms shipments through Belgian airports. As unions, we declare our solidarity with those who are taking action for peace.
