Man I love learning history because sometimes you learn things that’s not widely known just like how Beethoven’s Fur Elise was actually made for one of his students that he was in love with named Therese. She was a mediocre piano player so he made a melody so easy that even she could play it and impress people (hence the very iconic tune in the beginning) but then he finds out that she was engaged to a different man and so Beethoven basically made the other parts so that she can never play it and if that’s not petty culture then idk what is.

a jumbotron message provokes justin to sing rent while griffin and travis beg him to stop
Oh shit, we totally need to do with his name what was done with santorum.
Let THAT be how his name is remembered: as a synonym for a sexual predator who uses his drunken-ess to claim no memory of- and thus, no responsibility for- his behavior.
new verb time. Oxford Dictionary, you need to get on adding this STAT!

literally how hard would it have been for jkr to say something like “listen I was writing it in the 90s, I was inexperienced, I was writing from my own point of view, I didn’t realise how underrepresented a lot of people are, I wasn’t thinking about anything other than the plot, I accept that it’s a little sparse on the diversity front, I can try to be more self aware with my future works” etc etc instead of.. this nonsense
KA Applegate just did this re: GLBT rep in Animorphs and kind of left it at that. Like it doesn’t have to be some groveling apology just “sorry, I didn’t consider it as much as I should’ve. I’m trying to do better with my future work.”
Oeverr even like…not saying anything?? Nobody was really criticizing her hella hard before this. People got that it wasn’t as good as it could’ve been with rep but recognized there was some good. And people even liked her saying people were free to envision the trio however they wanted. And while Cursed Child wasn’t really received well, people at least liked that she supported casting Noma Dumezweni.
If she’d just left it at that, I think people would’ve let it go and would’ve only rolled their eyes slightly at the “Dumbledore was secretly gay all along” thing.
the pride and prejudice musical we deserve:
- darcy doesn’t sing a single note even during conversations where everyone else is singing at him that is until the argument following his first attempt at proposing to lizzy where you can see his restraint fall away
- his first big solo is the letter he writes her
- gelsey bell is mary and the unofficial narrator and she sits down at her piano to describe whats going on but before she can ever reveal her feelings on the matter, starting with that gelsey bell scream, mr bennet comes over and does the whole ‘that’s nice dear but give someone else a turn’
- mr wickham has this huge ballad about how darcy ruined his life and its super melodramatic and touching
- mr collins proposal to lizzy is an absolute bop that he gets so into he forgets for a moment what he’s doing he’s just owning the stage
- wickham has a song where he’s trying to seduce lydia but she’s not even listening she’s just monologuing about how excited she is to get laid
- during darcy’s second proposal he keeps hesitating waiting for lizzy to interrupt him like she has done every time before but she doesn’t say anything until he’s finished
- at the end mary sits down at the piano and right where she’d usually be interrupted, kitty joins her and harmonises
- jane and bingley have the adorable upbeat romantic duet which is just them being super polite like ‘oh so nice to have you here’ ‘so nice to be here’ interspersed with their inner monologue which is just them being like fucking jesus I’m so in love
- the bingley sisters probably have a really cool mean solo
- lady catherine has this terrifying disney villain song in the garden
- there’s for sure a song about ribbon shopping
on the outside I am human on the inside I am pasta and sin
