In the final scene of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Macbeth, brought to bay by the wronged Macduff, challenges his enemy and nemesis to fight in the last words he speaks in the play:
Lay on, Macduff; And damned be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough!’
The first three words have given rise to humorous alteration, as in Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines (1885):
‘Are ye prepared to enter the Place of Death?’ asked Gagool, evidently with a view to making us feel uncomfortable. ‘Lead on, Macduff,’ said Good solemnly, trying to look as though he was not at all alarmed.

not enough platonic cuddling in this world methinks
I’m very excited for my latest craft experiment, where I rhythmically slap sale rank oil paint onto a canvas and I see how long it takes to dry so that I can finally touch the paint textures I stare at so longingly in museums. 12 hours in, still wet. I am beginning to think this might take longer than I thought which you can imagine is quite a burden, as I am absolutely horned up to rub this paint.
thinking about the batkids annoying each other and one of them just go "god i was an only child before bruce i miss it so much"
and then there's just a collective agreement and they're all staring at each other in silence after because somehow they forgot NONE of them had siblings before this
while we're on the topic of talking about changes the pjo show made that i love, im glad they didn't push the whole Annabeth saying she and Percy *have* to be enemies because athena and Poseidon have beef. Instead she's just this cryptid autistic strategist 12 yr old who stalks Percy and pushes him into the water. She's like "hmm this white boy will perfectly serve my purpose and schemes" and she's so real for that
