marvel’s tv shows would be a lot better if they would stop trying to make them super dramatic and instead made them comedies that happen to be about superheroes. like @ marvel, recast clint barton and give him superhero show with a setup similar to parks and rec or the office and i guarantee you’ll get better tv ratings.
kate: dude you’re shaking, how much coffee did you drink today
clint: i haven’t had any coffee today
[immediately cuts to clint sitting in front of the camera, drinking some coffee]
clint: this is my 27th cup
literally anyone: [talks about how clint should drink more water and take more vitamins and generally try to take better care of himself]
clint: [looks into the camera and then turns off his hearing aid]
kinda feel like I need to go outside and be absorbed by fog or somethin. become one with the creatures in the mist. become the physical manifestation of the sound the highway makes in the distance. be my own liminal space. self care, yknow
when i die i want my skull preserved and donated to a theater group to function as the skull of yorick in a production of hamlet
“james, you can’t do that -”
Tennant was holding Tchaikowsky’s skull. The famous composure put in his will that his body should be donated to science and his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company for use in productions of Hamlet
it is in fact not the skull of the famous composer, the skull belonged to a random patron of the arts who happened to also be called Tchaikowsky but he did indeed donate it for this exact purpose in his will. consider him the less famous but more definitively dead Tchaikowsky
1) That’s a massive relief, because I was thinking about what it must feel like to be an actor on stage in front of hundreds, holding the skull of one of the world’s most famous composers, and the immense pressure not to fumble and drop the damn thing.
2) Are…. are you suggesting that the more famous Tchaikovsky is less definitively dead?
well have you seen his skull recently? we know for sure that André Tchaikowsky is dead or at least David Tennant does. nobody even knows how Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky died. i call that suspicious.
This is an important message on how privilege really works.
it’s good to remember that we shouldn’t only define ourselves by our marginalized identities. for example I am cis, I am middle class, I am educated, I speak English, I am a documented citizen—remember all of those identities you possess that give you privilege.
Always check your privilege. Everyone has one in some way
