In the final scene of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Macbeth, brought to bay by the wronged Macduff, challenges his enemy and nemesis to fight in the last words he speaks in the play:
Lay on, Macduff; And damned be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough!’
The first three words have given rise to humorous alteration, as in Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines (1885):
‘Are ye prepared to enter the Place of Death?’ asked Gagool, evidently with a view to making us feel uncomfortable. ‘Lead on, Macduff,’ said Good solemnly, trying to look as though he was not at all alarmed.

young artist posting your work online, heed my warning. im holding your face so gently in my hands, you have to stop caring about numbers right now and start caring about making the weirdest and most self-indulgent art you possibly can

"Sex is what makes us human" is stupid. Almost every species fucks. Humans are the only species that jumps motorcycles over school buses that are on fire. Some other things too probably
Bruce before a gala: Alright, rules for tonight. No arson, no one gets married. No pulling the fire alarm. No punching people, faking a medical issue to get out of it, or doing the Gangnam Style dance. No ER trips, no graffiti, and no spiking the punch. No killing anyone, setting anything on fire, or playing Jenga with the furniture. No putting dish soap in the indoor fountain. And NO confetti poppers.
Jason:….. it’s like you just handed us a bingo card of things to do, B.
Tim: I hadn’t even considered the medical thing.
Damian: *silently hides the dish soap behind his back*
Dick: Ah, my entire childhood right there.
Bruce: That reminds me. Also no swinging on the chandeliers.
Stephanie: Well Dick ruined all our fun before we even got here didn’t he. Rude.
Dick: I’m a good example.
Bruce: You are a very not good example. Let’s go.
Alfred: Ah, they grow up so fast. *hands Damian more soap as he walks past*
Duke: I’m scared of all of you and also confused how so many of you made it to adulthood.
Bruce: I can’t figure it out either. The closest I can figure is sheer dumb luck and Alfred.
I wonder if anyone has written a novel with a character from a stereotypical sci-fi world being transported to a stereotypical fantasy one and if so what it is cause I'm hella curious as to what that would look like
Or even better a sci-fi and a fantasy character both get transported to like a contemporary real world setting and the whole thing is just a comedy of these two people who are so far out of their normal but in different ways.
