I Don’t Think A Shakespeare Production Needs To Be Innovative To Be Good.

i mean this in the nicest way possible you guys but you NEED to take better care of yourselves online. getting severely anxious about mass quantities of horrible things you cant change every single day is normal considering the internet’s ability to educate on worldwide issues, it shows that you have empathy and that you truly do care. but relentless knowledge of constant suffering on this scale is NOT something humans are psychologically equipped to handle. it’s okay to shut off. it’s okay to just take a break and enjoy yourself for a while in your own localized space

WHOA WHOA WHOA

If I’m reading this correctly

it looks like Perseus was one of the first heroes to have an interracial marriage

Because apparently Andromeda was a princess of Ethiopia…?

I mean someone correct me if I’m wrong but this is pretty cool

[ D ] uyong: mermaids from Malaysian mythology, their basic shape - the upper body of a human woman paired with a fish tail - comes from the legend of Atargatis, the Assyrian goddess of the moon and fertility. Unlike western mermaids, they tend to be of a mournful nature, a behavioral trait also derived from Atargatis.

feathered flames.

One boy plummets, bleeding wax, raining feathers. Bleeding feathers, raining wax. Another boy crashes, bursting with stolen divinity, caught in reins he no longer controls.

They burn, each on his own, across skies, across worlds, across space and time. You know how these stories end. Hubris inscribes their fates—punishments, for curiosity, for aspirations—onto their skin in flaming ink, preserved by whispers and ink.

Perhaps the boys are less daring in some worlds, and heed their fathers’ advice. They are not lost to oceans—they drown in history’s forgotten abysses instead. Perhaps they laugh in some skies and scream in others. Maybe some gods are cruel, and have them languish for eternity and beyond.

But maybe some are kinder, and Icarus and Phaethon find their way to each other as they fall. 

Have you kissed the Sun, too?  I have been the Sun.  That is why we fall from grace. We fall to glory, brother, and nothing less. Do not regret it. A charred smile. The world was not meant for such as us.

(Perhaps some other world will be.)

Oh wow there’s a LOT of sewing & historical costuming content coming up this week! (July 30th-August 2nd, 2020)

Costume College, an annual convention focused on historical clothing, has obviously had to be cancelled, so people are doing a lot of livestream panels and putting up various tutorials and stuff online instead.
