I try to avoid complainy YouTube “analysis” videos, but it's great to find a rare good one with well-thought-out analysis and a minimum of emotional hyperbole.

Despite the clickbait-y titles, these two are probably my favorites.

I had been trying very hard to convince myself I was enjoying these shows. After watching the videos, I finally acknowledged the flaws I had been trying to ignore and let go of a ton of repressed frustration.

S!B I hate that I sometimes need someone else to tell me “it’s okay to not like this” before I can actually admit that to myself.

I don't get the big deal about King Lear. I love plenty of Shakespeare plays and people are always telling me that Lear is one of his best, but I just can't see it.

No matter who they cast, the characters aren't compelling. The story is basically...a lot of tedious angst, some on-stage gore, a lot of nonsense in the wilderness, and then a very rushed ending.

I fundamentally don't understand why people praise it so much. Even the language is dense and not particularly beautiful or clever.

Dear anon who asked for Shakespeare secrets: this is my best attempt, sorry I don't have more Shakespeare-wank to offer

I found these pictures of mha characters as cheerleaders and fell in love. I've already created an oc that can be part of this group and cheer and hang out with them.
I've never watched/read any of it though.

I also feel weird about wanting to be in a group with them because I'm a trans guy and I specifically want to be one of the girls.

Transcript by OP

hen I was 9, a family friend introduced me to British comedy. He lent me his tape of The Secret Policeman's Ball (1979), a concert featuring lots of great comedy acts.

It also had the song “Glad to Be Gay” by Tom Robinson.

For the first time, I saw older queer people being not only proud, but proudly angry. It was my first queer anthem and I listened to it over and over again.

Given his mildly conservative politics and emotional obliviousness, I think Bill hadn't given the song a second thought. He never mentioned it, he only praised the comedy.

Honestly, Bill could be kind of a jerk, especially from the POV of a highly sensitive young girl. Still, decades later, I'm grateful that he gave me those tapes even if he didn't completely know what he was doing.

B!S: As a bi/pan person, it is validating to me that the singer Tom Robinson went on to marry a woman, while maintaining that he is absolutely still queer.

Question to secret maker:

[(Anonymous)]

Hello, I was wondering about the secret about Attack on Titan I submitted. It's okay if you felt uncomfortable with publishing it, I just wasn't sure if it went missing or not.

[(Anonymous)]

I think an essayist I watch actually talked about how, maybe it was the Sherlock one, was really good, but all of the copycats off it were pretty bad and therefore colored the perception of the original

[(Anonymous)]

I just see thr anime version and am a bit sad they slightly changed their body types, as small of a change as it was

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry mate, but the cheerleader thing is a one-off gag that the cast's resident Extremely Gross Pervert tricked them into.

[(Anonymous)]

The reality is that Doctor Who is primarily governed at this point by its value as an intellectual property and not by any ideas about what it should be as a creative entity

Weekend Plans

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

I am visiting my sister. We are getting the last of our shopping for our trip done. We are also going to watch Take Shelter since it is actually streaming someplace.
