ON VA VOIR, B*TCH!

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.

I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.

I fucking love him

i can imagine this guy’s voice very clearly in my head but i couldn’t put a name to it 

He also jabs racists in the eye!

I love the justice grandpa of fists

I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.

He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.

Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!

He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!

Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.

He said fuck the police!

He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.

He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.

He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.

You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!

And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.

I have a new role model

“justice grandpa of fists”

It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.

Hes like the personification of motherfucker unlimited

Reblogging this newer version of this thread with so many more strips I haven’t seen…why did this character ever disappear. Where did you go, Everett.

we need him more than ever…

sorry to make a long post longer but I feel like we could all really use some Everett True Beating Up Anti-Maskers content: 

He’s a hero, our Everett.

Fucking bRILLIANT

I feel like I need to tell everyone how brilliantly the Globe incorporated a deaf Gildenstern into the 2018 Hamlet and then force all of you to watch it

ok, so Gildenstern is played by a deaf actor, Nadia Nadarajah. he* signs all his lines, and either Rosencratz interprets for him, or the person he’s talking to says something that makes it obvious what he just said, depending. how each character reacts to Gildenstern is completely in-character and often hilarious

it’s all brilliant and adds another layer of humor and pathos and you should all watch it

*casting at the Globe right now is gender neutral so I’m just going to use the character’s pronouns

guys I know I’m wittering on about this but the thing I want to emphasize is that there is no tokenism here. they didn’t just shove a deaf actor into a speaking role so they could pat themselves on the back about how progressive they are. they went to the effort of fully integrating Nadarajah’s deafness into the story so that it not only fit organically within the narrative but actually enhanced it. watching Hamlet’s signing disintegrate as his trust in R&G disintegrates adds a depth to that storyline I’ve never seen before. Claudius has exactly the awkwardness of someone who thinks of himself as a good person and therefore thinks he’s being kind and generous with his accommodations for disability, but has never even once actually asked a disabled person what they need, which is so on-point for his character it hurts.

I know Michelle Terry gets a lot of hate mail for her policy of race-, gender-, and disability-blind casting, but fuck all those people. long may that policy continue.

THEIR ‘AS YOU LIKE IT’ WAS EVEN BETTER.

the same cast did AYLI that summer, and Nadia Nadarajah (goddess who owns my soul) played Celia. And Rosalind would speak her lines as well as sign them, to Celia. 

But they had Celia’s ASSHOLE DUKE DAD purposefully leave Celia out of the conversation at least once. And I was like…. fuck. oh, fuck. 

And Rosalind and Celia would have all of these side conversations that were ONLY in sign-language, for some of Celia’s lines when Orlando was present and Rosalind was being “Ganymede” 

And then at the end, when Oliver fell in love with Celia, he tried to sign to her!!

That link is broken. It’s now on the Globe’s youtube but only until Sunday 19 April 2020.

You might just about have time to watch Hamlet before it goes back to not being free to watch.

Either way I just wanted to add that when they brought back that production of As You Like It again last year it mostly had the same cast but they brought in another deaf actor to play Jacques. Sophie Stone speaks and signs so I’d imagine that gives it even more layers of meaning. There’s a blog post where they talk about that here, along with a video of her doing the ‘All the world’s a stage…’ speech here:

You know what the worst part of being dead is? You’re stuck. Nowhere to go. No way to change.

holy shit this trailer RULES!!!!

I need all of the fic about Debbie and Lou already, okay!!!!

This is holographic projection of a whale. It is a photographic process that produces images, thanks to the differences between 2 laser beams. These images are projected on to a gym using a special camera. There is not a drop of water in the gym, let alone a whale.

Flippin cool. That is all.

What are you talking about thats a fucking whale

@mongoose-bite

i cannot get over how well this looks for as brightly lit a room they are in!!! usually you need absolute darkness to make something this realistic

Architectural Paintings by Ben Johnson

With dedication, concentration, and a self-admitted obsession with perfection and hard work, British painter Ben Johnson creates detailed photorealistic paintings of architecture and cityscapes that require an enormous amount of effort and time to complete. 

Born in 1946, Johnson has been focusing on architecture as a subject matter for over 50 years and has even collaborated with architect Norman Foster to create depictions of his buildings (for the first Venice Architecture Biennale, 1991). Though widely known, especially for his large-scale, mind-bogglingly realistic panoramas of cities like Hong Kong, Liverpool, and London, Johnson’s work resides mainly in private collections.

new civil war stills and behind the scenes

What I’m seeing here is, rather than the fanon of Bucky being super annoyed at Steve for the reckless shit he does, Steve and Bucky seem to BOTH be on the verge of jumping out of a plane without a parachute. Just bros being stupid reckless shits together. FINE STEVE WE’LL DO IT YOUR WAY LETS GO.

As much as I love the annoyed-Bucky trope, I always loved the oneupmanship trope more. Picture it. They try to OUTDO each other’s recklessness.

Warm-up I did the other day I decided to color. I really like hair and dynamic lighting…

i don’t know what’s more impressive: the chart itself or these two completing it

a little something i thought of during breakfast: when hamilton introduces himself to angelica, he doesn’t follow the melody of the song and instead uses the one in “my shot”. “my name is angelica schuyler / alexander hamilton” he’s in his own pace and expects others to keep up. but then angelica keeps up and uses his melody in her next question–where’s your family from?–and that is basically the melodic equivalent of what angelica describes in the next verse as “matching wits with someone at your level”.

OK OK OK yes but what is really vitally important is that something similar but also REALLY DIFFERENT happens again in non-stop:

alexander/i have to go/alexander!/look around, look around/HELPLESS

in which alex uses the sisters’ thematic line for the first time (i think?), but, goddammit alex, he’s got the wrong one: he knows he should be trying to speak her language, but he’s on the schuyler sisters and she’s on helpless, and they’re so close but still not quite together.

but then in take a break, we again get the glorious giggly “angelica!/ELIIIZA” and now alex fills in the end at the right place!! (the schuyler sistersss) and THEN.

angelica sings “alexanderrrr” in the line of the schuyler sisters. his name isn’t said in the my shot style (staccato, alex-ander-hamil-ton), but is instead a higher schulyer sisters ELIIIZA (alexaaaaander. [hi]). angelica brings him into the schuyler fold and forces him to keep up with her.

which is really really fortunate, because that’s exactly what alex needs to be able to reconcile with eliza in it’s quiet uptown: speaking her melodic language of “it would be enough” - for the first time, really, truly, connecting with her at a fundamental level in her language.

alex is a schuyler as much as eliza is a hamilton and angelica doesn’t have to change her language to match wits: literally the current thesis statement of my life.
