The wild euphoria of “Yes YES”😩👌
Blake’s “The Tyger”, despite its conjuration of sublime terror, ultimately views nature through the lens of artifice. The tiger is a piece of craft, significant for what it tells us about its anthropomorphic creator. The tiger is not itself; it’s not a wild, uncreated thing.
In contrast, the only crafted thing in Nael’s “The Tiger” is the cage, existing only as an impediment to freedom and destroyed as soon as it is introduced. Nature, rather than creation, is taken as fundamental, and with the destruction of the cage the boundary between the human observer and the natural world is eliminated. We cheer for the tiger’s destructive freedom in a moment of Dionysian ecstasy. Predatory, terrifying, alive, the tiger is out.
this is such high quality literary criticism
Far from being a poem which views the tiger as crafted, I argue that Blake’s “The Tyger” questions how the tiger could have been created at all: in addition, the context of Blake’s “The Tyger” has been neglected.
In Blake’s “The Tyger,” the tiger is not a piece of craft, but defies creation, as demonstrated in lines 3-4: “What immortal hand or eye, / Could frame thy fearful symmetry”? The provocation of asking “What immortal hand or eye” implies that if such an immortal being existed, the tiger’s wild “burning bright” nature defies such craft.
We also need to consider the term “fearful symmetry” as an invocation of the divine: William Blake was a Romantic-era poet, and subscribed to the idea of the sublime. The sublime is mystery itself, that which takes us outside of ourselves, that which escapes all comprehension. By saying the tiger has “fearful symmetry,” Blake is saying that the tiger itself is a part of that which escapes comprehension, that which defies creation.
In addition, the previous critic ignores that William Blake’s “The Tyger” is a poem of six stanzas, and as such, we cannot judge the first stanza without the inclusion of the other six stanzas. The continuing five stanzas also question how the tiger could have been created: the fifth stanza ends on a question as well: “Did he who made the Lamb make thee?” This question is invoking the idea of a divine creator explicitly, but even then, the Tiger defies explanation, as the Tiger exists as a defiant image of the Sublime, acting as a metaphor for that which escapes comprehension.
To compare William Blake’s “The Tyger” with Nael’s “The Tiger,” Nael also uses the tiger as an image of that which escapes comprehension. For Nael, the tiger escapes all physical entrapment, and the repetition of “yes” inspires an ecstatic wildness which inflects the entire poem.
In conclusion, both Blake’s “The Tyger” and Nael’s “The Tiger” celebrate that which escapes comprehension and control, manifested in the image of a blazing bright tiger.
TLDR: both poems have more in common than not!
You guys are all aware that they trained people for those civil rights protests, right? That the people doing sit ins had to be trained to keep their cool as white people screamed invectives and pouring drinks on them? It was a very organized operation.
One of the greatest lies that recent American history has perpetuated is the idea that Rosa Parks was "just a tired Black woman who wanted to sit down on the bus" and not a motivated activist who trained with other civil rights luminaries and very intentionally got on that bus specifically to get arrested about it.
Can you think of a reason why they might not want you to know that the people staging sit-ins and getting arrested for sitting on the bus were trained and organized?
Please seek out your local advocacy organizations and GET TRAINED. There are tons of groups running things like know-your-rights trainings, protest-conduct trainings, safety trainings, etc etc. Like literally look up issue + location + ideally a trusted organization + advocacy training and see what’s around. In person is ideal but some groups like Immigration Legal Resource Center post them as webinars too.
My work holds teach-ins of this sort once a month, including working directly off MLK’s civil disobedience principles, and have declared agreements on conduct from people who choose to network with us —basically “if you come to our sit in you agree not to start breaking things instead of sitting in” and stuff like that, trying to keep everyone on the same page. It also jumpstarts our ability to help people work out how else they can help if they are a person who is like “yeah I know my temper, if I go I’m gonna end up breaking things”, which is also a thing we learned from civil rights demos: not everyone is going to be able to engage in all forms of civil disobedience & resistance safely & effectively. That’s fine/morally neutral, and also inevitable when you have a group of people with diverse skill sets.
Part of the reason there are trainings is because often it’s doing things against your obvious instincts (like practicing going limp when grabbed by a cop rather than reflexively fighting—which is not a value judgment on pushing back when someone grabs you, which is generally a reasonable response, except if you poke a cop they can arrest you for it, so ragdolling is a strategy to keep you out of contrived “assaulting an officer” charges). If you know you’re going to hit back, you’re probably going to be able to help more in a role where you’re not the most likely grab-ee.
A thing I remember striking me in John Lewis’s autobiography was a moment of a (white) guy telling him, essentially, “Hey I don’t think I can do this action at Woolworth’s because if I’m getting harassed and hit I’m going to hit back and I don’t want the coverage of this to be ‘white guys get in a fistfight at Woolworth’s’,” and John Lewis saying “Cool, can you help us make some signs for this action instead?”, and he still did something super important to make it happen!
I don’t go to big street protests because I have asthma and the cops in my town tear gas people so frequently. I do a bunch of behind-the-scenes and publicity/press work instead. That’s because of having planned within the network, not coincidence/luck.

Dating Disney: Beauty and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast features my favorite love story and my favorite Disney Princess, so it holds a very special spot in my heart. So, it’s worth looking into the film to decide when the Movie is supposed to be set.
During the opening musical number “Belle”, Belle is telling the Baker about the book she’s been reading. She’s clearly describing Jack and the Beanstalk, the earliest version being the tale of “Jack Spriggins and the Enchanted Bean” in 1734. But she also deliberately mentions an ogre, not a giant. Near as I could find, the only version with an ogre was written by Joseph Jacobs in 1890, making Belle nearly contemporary to modernity. Belle’s excitement over the book is likely a sign that this is a new story.
During the same musical number, we see a sign depicting a tobacco pipe, but unlike with the Calabash pipe from the Little Mermaid movie. I could place it to possibly be a Billiard type, but the exact era of creation escapes me. However, tobacco pipes have been around as long as Tobacco has been introduced to European trade, starting in the 16th century.
The history of colored printing goes as far back as the 16th century, and there are illustrations from the early 1700s with an impressive variety of color that help establish a stronger time period. The book also shows the words Le Prince Charmant or Prince Charming. Prince Charming started being used in 1697 in Charles Perrault’s version of Sleeping Beauty, although there, Prince Charming was not a name. Rather, Perrault stated that the Prince was charmed by her words. The first story to use Prince Charming as a name is the Tale of Pretty Goldilocks. It was written at some point in the 17th Century by Madame d’Aulnoy, but in her version the hero was named Avenant. It wasn’t until 1889 when Andrew Lang retold the story that Avenant was dubbed as Charming. One year later in 1890, Oscar Wilde used the term “Prince Charming” sarcastically in his novel “The Picture of Dorian Gray”, meaning that the term had gotten its more modern meaning by this point in time.
Gaston’s musket is a Blunderbuss, which was invented in the early 1600′s and remained popular through the 18th century before falling out of fashion in the middle of the 19th century. However, considering Belle states that this is a backwards town and Gaston is an old-fashioned, Primeval man, it’s possible he’s using a largely outdated weapon.
While there are no street lamps in the city, we can see in the background lanterns on the sides of buildings, which might allude to the movie taking place before the invention of gas lamps. However, gas lamps were invented in 1809, and if the version of Jack and the Beanstalk is from 1890, then by all accounts the town should have gas lamps. What this amounting evidence is leading me to believe is that the film is directly following the plot of the original fairy tale.
In the story, Beauty’s father is a merchant who loses his fortune due to a storm destroying his cargo. They’re forced to live on a farm until the merchant stumbles upon the Beast’s castle and kick starts the plot. In the opening song, Belle says “every morning’s just the same, since the morning that we came, to this poor, provincial town.” This could mean that she grew up in a much more modern, urban, and progressive town. Possibly even Paris. But that after Maurice suffered severe financial trouble, he was forced to move them to the small, backwards town that was practically living an entire century behind the rest of France, which is why she’s so bored and unimpressed by the little town. It helps explain why she’s so eager to want to get out of this town and see the world. She wants to be part of the modern world again.
Interestingly, I can support this theory with background information. According to some of my research, Belle’s village was based on the little town of Riquewihr, France, which still looks like it did in the 16th century to this day. So the idea that Belle’s little village lacks so many modern elements could be a nod to the architecture of this sleepy French village that has remained largely untouched by the march of time. Hence why it looks more like something out of the 1700s despite the many elements from the 1800s being present.
During the song “Be Our Guest”, Lumiere dances with a match stick. Match sticks were invented in 1805. Assuming the film still takes place in the 1890s, this would be concurrent with the other evidence we’ve seen thus far. Later in the same song, the silverware makes an Eiffel tower, which was constructed in 1889. Since Jack and the Beanstalk was written after that, it still fits within the suspected time frame.
During the climax of the battle, Cogsworth is wearing military garments reflective of Napoleonic styles. Napoleon was coronated in 1804 until 1814, had a brief return to power in 1815, and eventually died in 1821. So this is also congruent to the established time period.
In the Youtube Video “Fashion Expert Fact Checks Belle from Beauty and the Beast’s Costumes” by Glamour, April Calahan, a Fashion Historian from the Fashion Institute of Technology directly noted that Belle’s yellow gown lacks the shape of a proper 18th century dress, and more closely resembles the shape of 19th century dresses, fitting into the evidence that’s been mounting in support of a late 19th century setting.
As a part of his primary costume, Lefou wears a waistcoat and tailcoats, which came into vogue in the 1800s, namely from the 1840s through the 1850s.
But if the film is set in the 1800s, how can the Beast still be a prince after the French Revolution? Well something worth noting is that when he finds out that Belle isn’t coming to dinner, the Beast storms through the halls to her room as Cogsworth calls after him as “Your Eminence” and “Your Grace”. The address of “Your Eminence” is reserved for Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, and is an ecclesiastical style of address. “Your Grace” is noticeably an English style of address, but it’s being used by Cogsworth who is British, so I can chalk that up to just part of his culture. Although it was used for British monarchs, it fell out of use during the reign of King Henry VIII (1509-1547) and after that, the use of “Your Grace” became used to address archbishops and non-royal Dukes and Duchesses. Now clearly the Beast is not a cardinal or a bishop, especially if he is looking for the love of a woman to make him human, since it’s forbidden for Catholic priests to marry. So clearly that is not what is meant here. But the other answer actually does hold a bit of weight. Beast’s father was in fact, a Duke. So how is the Beast a prince? He’s not. Not entirely. See, there’s more than one kind of Prince in French nobility. There’s a Prince du Sang, or a Prince by Blood. Effectively, the Crown Prince, the sons of ruling monarchs. But the title is also given to lords in charge of a Principality, one of the smallest territorial sizes. The Beast’s principality probably only extends to having power over the little unnamed village. And with it being after the revolution, Beast might not even have the proper use of his title anymore. He’s effectively a rich kid in a fancy house with no real authority or power. He’s just old money from a by-gone era of human history. But if Beast’s address of “Your Grace” is accurate, that would mean that he’s a non-royal Duke, meaning he would not likely have been executed during the Revolution, as his family would have essentially been governors or senators than actual monarchs. They just had jurisdiction over a small piece of the Kingdom of France and reported back to and obeyed the orders of their King. Thus, he would not have been important enough to be killed or chased out of power by the townsfolk.
CONCLUSION
The movie is set between the late autumn and early-to-mid winter of 1890. Although the snow is gone when Belle returns to the village, the trees are still bare, signaling that it may just be unseasonably warm, though it could be the very early spring of 1891 between the receding of the snow and the blossoming of new spring foliage. Between the books, clothing, and references made, my conclusion is that Belle is a very modern girl living in a backwards little town stuck in the past, thus why a village in 1890 looks so completely lacking in modern technology despite the era. The Prince is nothing more than a fancy title as the son of a Duke, and he likely has very little if any actual government authority. Essentially, Belle married into wealth, not power, and will never be a proper queen, and I’m not sure if the wife of a lord ruling a principality is a princess or not, but I suspect the answer is no. Making Belle, like Mulan, a Disney Princess who did not marry royalty, was not born royalty, and thus, cannot be called a Disney Princess. She’s definitely a noblewoman, but she’s not royal by any means.
SETTING: Riquewihr, France
KINGDOM: The French Republic (France)
YEAR: Autumn, 1890 - Spring, 1891
PERIOD: The Third Republic (1870-1940)
LANGUAGE: French
This would also explain why no one in the town seems to care that their regent hasn’t been seen in years.
i’m losing my mind at the concept that Belle will very likely live to see the first World War, barring other catastrophe.
Belle is 17 years old at the beginning of the film. If the film takes place in 1890, she’ll only be 41 years old when Duke Ferdinand is shot some 800 miles away. The Beast is barely four years older than Belle. He’ll be 45.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica (by way of Wikipedia), “costly battles on the Western Front forced France to conscript men up to the age of 45.” It’s not impossible that The Beast sees combat during WWI. Trench warfare, gas warfare, no man’s land, all the horrors of front line at the dawn of the 20th century. It’s entirely possible that Belle signs up with the Red Cross as a nurse, maybe utilizing a mechanical aptitude inherited from her father to aid in the war effort.
When Germany invades Poland, Belle and The Beast will be 56 and 60, respectively. In the spring of the following year, the Nazis invades France. They occupy castles and large estates across France, to use as both bases of operation and as strongholds to hoard stolen wealth (in the form of gold and art) and political hostages.
Would Belle and the Beast fight off Nazi invaders from their home? They’ve defended it before, but is there enough magic left in those old walls to mount a defense? Or would they flee their chateau, go underground, and use what remaining assets they have to aid La Résistance?
Do they have children, and if so what’s become of them in this time of war?
Listen, what I’m getting at here is that since they’re both Disney properties, there’s an entirely justifiable team up between Beauty and the Beast and Captain America.
Came for the analysis, rebligged for that last sentence.
What I expected from the title: discussion of Belle and the Beast’s relationship dynamics
What I got: Beast ends up as a Howling Commando

Like, you usually only see old houses looking VERY worn-down and kinda sad, but this looks like we time-traveled into the past when it was new and tidy, and suddenly some of those choices that feel odd today make SENSE, because while they were new and loved, the now-odd furniture and appliance colors and whatnot look NICE. It’s still an “outdated” style but it doesn’t look “old.” Very neat glimpse at history!#decor fandom

fleetwood-mac-andcheeseReblogged jewishtransdykescreampotatoFollowSuddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".When the boat is still being built, your say "it".When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she. If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.glitched-out-mess#language
fleetwood-mac-andcheeseReblogged hedgiwithapentanoraquiFollowmy ideal Galavant revival s3 of course starts with the main cast all being resurrected by some sort of necromantic cult, then traveling the Seven Realms under attack by zombies and monsters to assemble the Super Magical Weapon of Good from its component parts to defeat/rescue Madelena, now a powerful dark sorceress. But MORE IMPORTANTLY, Isabella is pregnant.Not the whole time. Obviously she goes into labor right before the climactic battle, then fights it with the newborn infant in one arm. Maybe hands it to Galavant for a moment so they have to trade off who's wielding one- vs two-handed.Her pregnancy is partly played for laughs, because no self-respecting comedy writer is going to skip jokes about cravings, mood swings, the infinite struggles of back pain...But moreover, Izzy has a compelling character arc about her current and incipient struggle to maintain her sense of self as a (retired) warrior princess versus a mother. She literally can't fight as well while pregnant, and it's arguably irresponsible to throw herself into battle the same way - and that's going to be her whole future? The rest of her life, no longer a svelte young romantic lead but a doting mother or, at best, nagging wife?Galavant is also having his own anxious pre-parenthood arc, mostly about "oh god I don't want to be a shitty absent father like my dad. he's my only role model! yeah, he turned out okay later, but not when he was raising me!"These issues collide in Galavant trying really hard to care for Isabella, protect her, help her on and off horses, etc - partly because he's correcting to overprotective and treating her like spun glass (she accuses), but also because he, y'know, loves her and their unborn child, and wants them to be protected, comfortable, and loved…They are both being dramatic about this all season. It's a driving source of conflict and development...Then in the final 5-10 minutes of the final episode, it's revealed that this is their third, maybe even fourth kid. Isabella's parents have been babysitting the others during this whole adventure. Galavant and Isabella go through this exact same drama every time Isabella is pregnant. Sid knew this, Gareth didn't (despite the fact that those two had been traveling together for much of the time between seasons). TBD anyone else. At least one person says, "Are you KIDDING me?"tanoraquiThe other main character/plot element of Galavant s3 is that this is the culmination of RIchard's sword-assigned destiny of the One True King to Unite Them All. In the decade(?) since the s2 finale, he's taken up rule of 6 of the Seven Realms:Valencia (Isabella's parents retired to a beachside cottage next door to her and Galavant, to be full-time grandparents)The kingdom of those sister-princesses who were cruel to Madelena (mass peasant revolt -> Reign of Terror-esque bloodbath -> Richard & Bobby conquered it for everyone's own good really)Hortensia (it's technically a Protectorate, or maybe a Regency, because of course they had an 11yo king and 0 army.)Princess Jubilee's kingdom (sold it to Richard for three crates of beer and a ticket to fantasy!Paris, where she's now kicking ass and partying bisexually)2 other realms that no one really cares about, they're just, like, peasants and fields, and maybe a castle or two.HOWEVER in the week that Richard was dead, Valencia, Hortensia, and Jubilee's kingdom all rebelled! Bobby, with Tad Cooper and maybe the obligatory heir & spare she and Richard probably had, are in the former-Reign of Terror kingdom, cut off from the rest of the party!So, as they travel the kingdoms to get the McGuffin pieces, they're also re-persuading people to accept Richard's rule...while Bobby trails like an episode behind, picking up the pieces of whatever that leaves behind, and dealing with all hte practicalities of rule. She's narratively cast as Competent Wife to Hapless Husband, but she keeps insisting that she's so overworked in this because usually Richard does half the work. To Richard's credit, he is genuinely effective - with other characters' help - at convincing people to re-join his mega-kingdom.The reason Hortensia rebelled is that little Prince Harry has actually grown into a totally fit & handsome young man who has roused the people to retake their own kingdom. We're going to have to let them be, ultimately, only re-joining in alliance. Jubilee's kingdom has rebelled because she came home and was like was like, "Yo, still mine." Richard gets thrown out of her kingdom; Isabella stays behind and she and Bobby convince Jubilee to join the alliance, too (while Isabella gets help going with her warrior princess/motherhood issue.)The culmination of all of this of course, is Richard returning at last to the one holdout: his birth kingdom. He will have to participate in a democratic election and be CHOSEN as king...with limited executive power even in emergencies like the obviously ongoing one right now, with all the zombies and monsters. What sort of idiots would give unlimited emergency power to a sole executive on the grounds of said executive declaring an undefined emergency?Btw Bobby has a Tad Cooper on a leash the whole time, which goes off screen so the mighty dragon is never seen. Sometimes there's a burst of fire from that direction. When she FINALLY catches up with everyone for the season finale, Tad Cooper has a dramatic entrance where he scours a battlefield of monsters with a blast of fire and we finally see him, a grand shot from below, he's haloed by the sun...He's an iguana on a tall rock, about 5ft up. Cut to everyone standing around and looking down at the iguana. Galavant says, "That's...a full-grown dragon?""Yes!" Richard says indignantly. "Yes," Bobby says tiredly. Tad Cooper breathes fire again [they spend half their entire SFX budget on this moment alone], and everyone leaps back to avoid it. "Alright, that's a full-grown dragon!" Galavant concedes.#galavant
