If nothing else, love Hamilton for having the direction [Eliza Schuyler beatboxes maternally].
If I ever needed proof that Lin-Manuel Miranda is the 21st century’s Shakespeare and Hamilton is just a straight up History play, this is it.
well now you’ve jinxed it. centuries in the future, historians will argue over whether Miranda’s works were secretly authored by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
someone: *says something wrong about history*
me: dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it dont say it
me: actually,
Okay just ONE more thing and then I’ll stop talking about #bobafettisalesbian2k16, which has certainly ceased to hold any interest for everyone except me.
I don’t, in general, like fighting on the internet. That’s not my idea of fun. And I think it’s kind of a bummer to start – and especially to exacerbate – a pointless argument about something you don’t care about with people who really do care about the thing. I don’t, frankly, care about Star Wars canon. It’s fine if you do, I just don’t! At all! I said “Boba Fett is a lesbian” for three reasons.
I did not recall seeing Boba Fett’s face ever, because
those first three movies are a damn mess imso [in my stupid opinion] and I’ve literally erased everything about them from my mind cave (by drinking), and
this just looks real gay to me, sorry about it.
BUT: some people DID care! And they got really mad! At me! ME, a delight!
I mean, a tip of the hat for “assmangler.” (And no, I didn’t. I’ve never seen “Star Wars,” obviously.) But here’s my thing. WHY DO YOU CARE? Why can’t Boba Fett be a fucking lesbian? Why is this the hill you want to die on?
First of all, I’m at least 70 years older than whoever this is and saw the first Star Wars in 1936, so get off my dick Junior. Second of all, WHY? WHY DOES SOMEONE SAYING “MAYBE THIS MASKED CHARACTER IS A LESBIAN” ON THEIR OWN DANG INTERNET WEBLOG NEED TO BE STOPPED? WHO CARES? I spend literally every day making grand statements about shit I’m not sufficiently informed about – sometimes issues that actually affect the lives of real people – and yet THIS is the maddest the internet has ever been at my dumb ass! That’s insane!
HAHA, WHAT? Anyway, so now it’s no longer me, a person who did not care, riling up some nerds who did care. NOW I DO CARE. Boba Fett is a Lesbian, 2k16. As Boba Fett (a lesbian) herself once said: “He’s no good to me dead [or alive, because he is a man, and I am a radical trans lesbian separatist with no use for men].” Get off my lawn about it, ya damn animals.
fuck those “200 words to use more often in writing!” lists. the point of a really GOOD word is that you only get to use it every so often, when it’s exactly the perfect word to use. sort of like killing ordinary goblins with a regular short knife most of the time, and only reaching for the ancestral blade your father bequeathed to you in his dying hour when you have to defeat the Goblin Overlord.
bad analogy, the ancestral blade my father bequeathed to me has a spell on it that makes it immune to dulling or breakage from use. i’ll kill a goblin with it i’ll kill the goblin’s king with it i’ll cut my damn sandwiches in half with it because they’re easier to eat that way
i understand that your father bequeathed you a good ass sword, but in my experience ancestral blades break quite easily and deserve cautious use. anyways my point you shouldn’t use the word “vertiginous” in a sentence unless you really need to but its fun when you can
what i find vertiginous is these shitty fuckin swords ya’lls dads are giving you
No, see, that’s the point. The word you want for those shitty fuckin swords is “verdigris”, not “vertiginous”.
Vertiginous: so high up that it makes you dizzy when you look down. e.g. “the vertiginous heights of the goblin king’s subterranean tower” (he has an underground tower!)
Verdigris: a greeny-grey crust that forms on a shitty copper blade that will bend or snap just when you need it to stab the goblin king.
While I’m at it, food hygiene: why you should not use your ancestral blade to kill a goblin and then cut your sandwich, at least without thoroughly cleaning it in between.
