My gf: mimes are to clowns as dogs are to wolves
Me, trembling: what
I love clown shitposting as much as the next person, but for once my weirdly specific college education of mimes has a chance to shine because the opposite is actually true. Modern western clowning is directly descendant from ancient greek pantomime. Clowns are actually the watered down, domesticated funny makers to the raw stylings of mimes.
…Man, I’d even make fun of myself for adding this comment on.
You look at a mime and tell me that doesn’t have the raw, untamed energy of a wolf. The clown is the tamed household one, colorful and designed to warm hearts and bring chuckles and entertain. But a mime…..that is something savage and unbridled from the wilderness. You ask a mime to make you laugh and it will go for the jugular. Not to say a clown is unable to go feral, just the opposite. It’s just that approaching a mime in its natural habitat without due respect, expecting it to be the same creature as your auntie’s pedigree purebred Bozo, will be the last mistake you ever make.
I’ve been receiving a lot of asks regarding how to Properly Do The Dab: Japanese Edition, and I figured I’d go ahead and satisfy your thrist.
I know it’s a bit overwhelming but, I figured of all the characters in Homestuck, Dirk would know best. So, hopefully, you guys can appreciate the act as it’s meant to be.
i think andrew hussie is a master class case study in author anonymity
like, who even gives a shit about death of the author when the author barely exists metatextually anyway? his public friends are all people associated with or who worked at one point on homestuck, his social media reveals nothing about him personally, and the only pieces of personal information he discloses are pieces of disjointed, unrelated, or “is he joking?” type material. i know he’s a sagittarius but i don’t know if he has parents. i know he has a giant blue horse dildo somewhere in his home, but i don’t know which state he lives in.
nobody within the past 500-600 years of literature has managed to write something as big as homestuck and remain as secretive as he has. most authors are tempted by the fame offered to them via their work and immediately flood their audience with personal disclosure, try to make themselves celebrities. not hussie. hussie wrote one of the biggest pieces of internet literature in history and stayed completely off the map for all of it.
he’s a fucking virgo
I couldn’t find how tall he was when I was trying to measure doc scratch
