ok art friends i made a like joke about there being a suspiciously cheap cintiq up on amazon- turns out it’s a scam that a lot of new sellers are doing. you place an order and they send a fake “your order could not be shipped” email that contains viruses if you click on it.
so these sellers will turn up as “new sellers” on amazon and are targeting people buying expensive electronics (i’ve seen a ton while looking for cintiqs and stuff). some listings will show up horrendously cheap, and others just suspiciously cheap (for example: a cintiq 13hd for 400 dollars where they’re usually 800). most of the time they’ll have in the product description “CONTACT AT (EMAIL) BEFORE BUYING” forcing you to contact with them off site. don’t do it!!!
heres an article on whats poppin. be careful around this time of year and if you’re in doubt on the legitimacy of a seller on amazon ask for a second opinion or contact amazon (i would be glad to try and help if i can)
yknow if romeo had just Cried on juliets corpse for a couple hours instead of drinking poison Right Then they would have been Fine
The moral of the story is: always take time to cry for a few hours before making important decisions.
So I’m more or less being facetious here, but this is actually a thing.
Hamlet is genre savvy. Hamlet knows how Tragedies work, and he’s not going to rush in and get stabby without making absolutely certain he’s got all the facts.
Except once he thinks he has all the facts – once he’s certain that it really is the ghost of his father and Claudius really did kill him, he rushes in and stabs the wrong guy, which starts a domino line of deaths and gets Laertes embroiled in his own revenge tragedy and ultimately results in the deaths of nearly every character other than Horatio.
That’s the irony and the tragedy of the story. Hamlet knows his tropes and actively tries to avoid them, and the tropes get him anyway. It’s inevitable, the tropes are hungry.
I want a sticker that says the tropes are hungry so I can put it on my laptop
i met a scholar once who said that tragedies aren’t about a silly “flaw” or anything, it’s about having a hero who’s just in the wrong goddamn story
if hamlet swapped places with othello he wouldn’t be duped by any of iago’s shit, he’d sit down & have a good think & actually examine the facts before taking action. meanwhile in denmark, othello would have killed claudius before act 2 could even start. but instead nope, they’re both in situations where their greatest strengths are totally useless and now we’ve got all these bodies to bury.
The tropes are hungry and the hero is in the wrong goddamn story.
