This May Be An Insane Take But I Really Don’t Think Anatoly Ever Had Any Intention Of Actually Formally

I feel like my need to neurodivergently over-explain every joke makes me look like a drunken Regency aristocrat chortling at the antics of the poor. I'm laughing at funny dog videos like "Ha! Ha! Ha! The hound is comporting himself in a manner as more befits a man, but he is a hound! How capital!"

Wap things I forgot to post + some requests from instagram

Here’s some chess everyone. Freddie was very much inspired by @awesomesaurous character design cause it’s iconic.

what’s even better is that he DOES need glasses, he’s just half blind on his adventures and probably doing some awkward fumbling that we don’t see. if i saw my cute archeology professor half naked, half blind, and trying to use a whip as his main weapon, i’d also be turned off.

I think if indiana jones' adoring students ever went on an Adventure(tm) with him it would be really funny if that was the turn off. like, a routine dig he was leading for the school goes awry and he has to get all cocky gunslinger ladies man hero mode and the students are like. hey what the fuck. his shirt gets ripped up revealing he's jacked and that one girl is immediately wiping the 'I love you' make up off her eyes. an entire room filled with artifacts gets destroyed while they make an escape and the kids are all horrified. "professor jones. how many people have you killed" "well, do you count the damn nazis as people-" "UNFORTUNATELY YES. LEGALLY YES. ARE ALL ARCHEOLOGISTS MURDERERS." he's flirting with some random woman on the dig and all the students are like what the hell. you can't talk like that. where did the droning and stutter go. why are you not flustered. she inevitably swoons into his arms or something and they're like "oh my God eww he's so sweaty. ma'am literally what's wrong with you. blink twice if you need help". they're so betrayed to find out he never even NEEDED glasses, he was wearing nonprescription lenses in class. Indy's lowkey hurt he's like I thought you guys thought I was cool :( and they're like 'yeah when you're in a bowtie and telling us about sumarian gardening techniques. WHY do you have a whip right now you freak'

ANATOLY SERGIEVSKY (John Riddle) and SVETLANA SERGIEVSKAYA (Taylor Louderman) in CHESS at The Muny (July 5-11, 2023)

...it seems to me that this comet feels me

this photo is very in character to me actually. he looks a little scared to have his arms around her and that’s about right for anatoly and svetlana.

Leia's worst online PR scandal is when a political opponent tried to say something mean about her kids so she pointed out that his no longer talked to him, in a space tweet that stayed up for 25 minutes and was screen-shotted 14 million times from across the galaxy. Luke and Lando's worst online PR scandal was the time they both joined the same mlm scheme for 3 months and had to issue a joint apology . Han has never had an online PR scandal because despite the fact that his handle is @/therealhansolo he has three followers and his only other social media is spfacebook which he uses exclusively to get into parent shaming fights with Isolder, Wedge's worst online PR scandal is when a major holo news channel posts an article that referred to him as "an lgbtq ally" and he space qrts it with "I am not" without specifying that he is not because he is bisexual and then turned his phone off for 14 hours.

i bought a copy of the “original drafts” version of war and peace cuz i saw ppl talking about it so much and i only knew some vague facts about it. it’s really interesting and i’m enjoying it but i do find it funny that the publisher describes it as “tolstoy’s intended version” when so much of what’s left out is the most self indulgent philosophizing prose from tolstoy.
