‘Deny, attack, be the victim’ is called #DARVO.

Men use it all the time when cornered. The yelling and abusive tone are tells.

You put horrible men into positions of authority and they selfishly break the system.

DARVO refers to a reaction perpetrators of wrong doing, particularly sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. DARVO stands for “Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender.”

the thing about shakespeare is that when it’s done right, when it’s done well, it should sound like it’s coming from the soles of your shoes, being dredged up from the dark places in your lungs and exhaled in a rush, before it burns your mouth. There are pauses, swallows, reverberations, inflections, because how else are you to laugh and sing and snarl and spill forth these lines?

shakespeare done well by actors who know what they’re doing stops sounding like shakespeare. It slips inside your blood, inflects you brain, raging through your system until this is the only language you have ever known, will ever need. It makes the theater the world entire.

shakespeare should sound like lightning; it should turn the air silver.

and once you’ve witnessed that, it’s hard to accept anything less.

 #shakespeare often gets mixed up in this whole pretentious air of thou-arts and wherefores and the like   #i wish it didn’t   #the language is old but when it’s right it is so alive   #and that’s exactly how it should be    #it should not be something dusty and boring that’s overexaggerated and pretentious    #it should be the pure magic of theater (x)

my mom is 61 and her bf is a huge nerd and he’s teaching her to play magic the gathering and he had her watch avatar the last airbender with him and his ringtone is terra’s theme from final fantasy 6 and he paints pictures of sephiroth. my mom’s bf is nerdier than i’ll ever be.

and she does all these pinterest crafts and now she makes little bejeweled vials of healing potions for him and his buddies. my little geek heart can’t handle all this.

edit: just picture a 60-something woman with a VERY thick minnesotan accent saying “mike is having me watch the naruto”

just fyi my mom is now 62 and they finished watching “the naruto”

if i had told my 13-year-old self that this is what my mom’s hallway would look like when i was 30 i wouldn’t have believed me

believe it

I once was at a con and was walking back to my hotel room when I happened to spy a bunch of people just then filling into their room and they were all very old- like easily in their 60’s or 70’s- and every single one of them was in unmistakeable Bleach cosplay. I told everyone else in my room about it and they were all “ew, that’s really weird!” which was really disheartening for me because I honestly thought it was wholesome and I honestly hope me and all of my elderly buddies still go in full cosplay to cons when I’m that age.

I met an old man cosplaying as uncle Iroh once and had a drink with an old lady cosplaying as Ayane from Dead or Alive. And I mean these two were in their sixties and they were so damn friendly and looked fantastic. I think about them a lot and admire their passion no matter how old they get.

How to Finish

I drew this poster for Jon Acuff and his FINISH book tour. Big thanks to Jon for this collaboration, his book has some great ideas about how to complete creative and life goals.

Love this, but reblogging it specifically for “Get rid of secret rules.” That’s one of the most amazing illustrations—and points—I’ve ever seen.

so important especially for perfectionists who procrastinate and never finish, or even start because they set such high standards for themselves.
