The Importance of Being Earnest

Yeah, yeah I'm a nerd for Shakeaspeare, shutup. You get two today

First of all ima remind everyone if you've got a southern accent and want me to buy you a burger or a beer, I pay for soliloquies in accents. I mean shit it doesn't need to be a southern accent, but Shakespeare in relatable modern accents does make it easier for people to digest. (I have this co worker at the DX school who has this straight up Jersey Shore accent and I bought him like six slices to do Act five, scene five from Macbeth (the tomorrow and tomorrow one, you know it) and fuck it hit hard.

And this one is in slang you gen x kids use which is gen z which is just silly to write but it's also great in a really funny way - https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxPHgUGPPPB/

I mean "I'm not here to clap back at Brutus, who we all know is dank" just - like, Terry thought i was dying this morning because I could not fucking stop laughing

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

Following her trial on the Witches' Road, Amanda is experiencing old nightmares. Marie-Ange is there.

( Ah, what is the thing in English, when you have reoccurring memories that refuse to be quiet because you have trauma. )
