im pretty sure at least 50% of crime authors decide to write about murder bc it isn’t legal to actually kill someone in real life

planning out a murder seems like fun

oh no dont reblog this im not planning a murder

that’s definitely something someone who was planning a murder and didn’t want to get caught would say…

“you make my heart beat in iambic pentameter.”

no you don’t understand shakespeare literally writes to the beat of your heart

• that’s why shakespearean actors will sometimes pound their chests in time to the words during readings

• that’s why you use fluctuations in the rhythm to track your character’s emotional state - any irregularities in the scansion are like the character’s heart stuttering or jumping or skipping a beat

• that’s why when characters share the rhythm - switching off in the middle of a foot - those characters inevitably have an extraordinarily intimate connection

shakespeare fucking writes viscerally, he is literally in your body, and that, my friend, that is why the best shakespearean actors don’t posture and emote

you have to be fucking alive and passionate and electric - it can’t be intellectual, in the end, it has to be about connection and the sweating, cheering, jeering, bleeding masses you’re performing to, because make no mistake, shakespeare may go to lofty heights, but he only works if you’re just as grounded in the earth. he has to be in your body. he has to be in your body.

holy motherfucking shit i love shakespeare so much, get him in your bones, breathe him in, stomp and rage and pine, dadum dadum dadum dadum dadum, it is literally to the beat of your heart

emma sulkowicz carried her mattress during graduation today, even after her rapist attempted a smear campaign in fucking reason magazine, even after she lost tons of supporters because they believed her rapist and denied that a victim could process events or cope like she did.

I’m proud of her.

I saw an article today about this and they called her “a rape accuser” not a victim. Not a survivor. An accuser. Fuck everyone.

The best part about Agent Carter getting renewed:

frozencapybara:

Another filming season’s worth of Haley Atwell carving a path of destruction through the show’s stuntmen, and then tweeting apologies.
