For context: In that production of King Lear by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Sir Ian McKellen, playing the titular character in a scene where Lear has essentially gone round the bend, strips completely naked right there on stage. New York critic Michael Portantiere, noted in his review, “Special note for those who care about such things: In a brief nude scene, McKellen amply demonstrates the truth of Lear’s statement that he is ‘every inch a king’.”
The above scene is amazing but I also feel we need to take a moment to appreciate the fact that a respected theatre critic took time to mention in their review of this production of King Lear that Ian McKellen has a truly impressive penis
@bucklikethedollar why would you hide poetry like this in the notes
it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.
AU where Eddie cracks his head off the ground and temporarily gets mind reading powers. He goes to school the next day thinking that this might actually be fun, and it is for a while.
And then he hears bloodcurdling screaming - except only he hears it so, “That’s in someone’s head?”
He follows the sound out down the hall, pass his own classroom. The screaming getting louder and louder until, “Steve Harrington?”
“Yeah?” Steve blinks back into reality in the back of his history class. The screaming dims but doesn’t go away. Steve’s still got those bruises on his face but otherwise doesn’t look distressed, “…You want something, Munson?”
“Um…um, no,” He says. “I - no. Nothing.”
Steve narrows his eyes and a whisper of a voice just under the screaming thinks Eddie is fucking with him.
Eddie barely acknowledges it because he’s stuck on how Steve looks normal. Not anguished. Not tortured. But normal. Bored.
“Well, uh. Well, I’ll see you around, Harrington.”
And Eddie means that too.
#Eddie tries to figure out what’s going on with Steve by reading his friends minds #but whereas it’s interesting that Carol is meaner in her mind than person and Tommy thinks way too much about his former friend i #and Jonathan’s mind is stuck in some OCD time loop about what he needs to do after school #and Nancy’s mind is just depressing as hell so he jumps out of there quickly #none of its helpful so now he has to befriend Steve himself (ughh) (via @morganbritton132)
Spn writers after dropping the most heartbreaking, gut wrenching, tragic tidbit of Dean’s past for laughs in the middle of a low- stakes silly goofy episode and never mentioning it again
