I'm curious about people's levels of familiarity; I intend no judgment or elitism and it's absolutely fine not to be a completionist, btw. I didn't think I would've intended to have read them all at age 25; it just sort of happened that after I passed the halfway point in the middle of 2023, I came out of a reading slump and was motivated to finish. Fwiw I consider myself a hobbyist (I am not involved in academia or professional theater) but I realize that that label is usually attributed to people with less experience.

I also have always loved seeing other bloggers' Shakespeare polls where they put certain plays or characters up against each other, but I'm often left wondering if it's really a 'fair' fight all the time if you're putting up something like Hamlet or Twelfth Night against one of the more obscure works, like the Winter's Tale. It's not a grave affront to vote in those polls if you don't know every play, but I am curious about it.

Please reblog for exposure if you vote; I would appreciate it a lot. Also feel free to elaborate on your own Shakespeare journey in tags, comments, reblogs, because I love to hear about other people's personal relationships to literature.

Cardcaptor Hazel !!!!!! Kennueth (aka Kenny Fin) is Yukito/Yue, Dev as Syaoran, and Antony as Touya.. and ofc, Jasmine is her BFF, Tomoyo ^_^ I had Winn as Eriol because I thought they might fit that role.. I haven’t watched CCS in a LOOONG time but this was fun :-3

New world, new rules. Now shut the fuck up and listen. Our fates are connected now. Singer's as good as dead, and I am the only fucking friend you've got left. The train has left the station gorgeous, and you're on it.

HOMELANDER and VICTORIA NEUMAN in THE BOYS SEASON 4

--or perhaps,' continues Octavian. 'You're angry that I've outplayed you at your own game because you were too busy fucking in your old master's house to notice anything that was going on around you.'

He smiles suddenly, bright and wide. 'Enjoy the party, Marcus.'

this scene takes place sometime after philippi, and was originally just some historical fiction I was writing last year for fun focusing on antony, octavian, and agrippa. then I got stressed out watching the new season of a show, started drawing while it played, and ended up turning it into a short comic lmao

the dialogue in this scene is referencing this bit out of Suetonius:

In early youth he incurred the reproach of sundry shameless acts. Sextus Pompey taunted him with effeminacy; Mark Antony with having earned adoption by his uncle through unnatural relations; and Lucius, brother of Mark Antony, that after sacrificing his honour to Caesar he had given himself to Aulus Hirtius in Spain for three hundred thousand sesterces, and that he used to singe his legs with red-hot nutshells, to make the hair grow softer. What is more, one day when there were plays in the theatre, all the people took as directed against him and loudly applauded the following line, spoken on the stage and referring to a priest of the Mother of the Gods, as he beat his timbrel: "See'st how a wanton's finger sways the world?"

Suetonius Augustus 68

what a fun group of people!! they should all eat each other

[drinkabletoxicdishsoap]

maybe it’s just me but i think the fact that hazel plays the drums is something that isn’t talked about enough in the fopanw fandom. it’s honestly just a fun and unique character trait she has?? it could just be me adoring characters who play instruments idk. anyways i think we should talk about it more

LOOK HOW HAPPY SHE IS WHENEVER SHE PLAYS THEM ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

she’s also totally in a band with winn as the guitarist and jasmine as the singer !!! that will forever be canon to me in my heart idc what anyone says

antony totally taught her how to play the drums… trust !!!!!!! they def had a cute little childhood band with hazel on the drums and singing, while antony played the guitar or was on the keys and singing (this will also forever be canon to me)

continuing with that, they definitely did silly and fun little songs for angela’s and marcus’s anniversary and birthdays. It may not have been the best sounding, but angela and marcus definitely loved it and appreciated it.

anyways thank you for coming to another long yap session <3 if you have any headcanons or thoughts based off this, feel free to tell in the replies or reblogs!! I hope you have a great night/day wherever you are in the world

a conversation with Karl Urban and Antony Starr

[realmsalot]

If next season Peri does end up unemployed and with a human disguise, I really want him Antony to meet and talk.

Like Peri vaguely talks about how his job that he always wanted not really working out as he imagined it and Antony talks about like how the major he originally chose might not be the one he wants to pursue or like how he might be struggling with the classes he needs to take for his future career.

I just it'll be cool to show that's OK to be unsure about your path in life even when you're older and you already have job and/or going to college ya'know?

OK maybe I'm just scared to start the new semester coming up BUT STILL IT'S A GOOD IDEA

[naughtydogg]

this is too cute. chace is precious

Think on me, That am with Phoebus' amorous pinches black, And wrinkled deep in time? Eve Best as CLEOPATRA in ‘Antony and Cleopatra’ (2014)

mabel and ford bonding content.

[ishomieokay]

I basically write Homelander fanfiction bc I really want to see latino rep in this fandom and I feel like it's a story that I can and should tell. I won't lie, though. I generally love the idea of this walking and talking allegory of white nationalism falling in love with a woman of ANY minority.

Homelander being inescapably attracted to a Chinese woman? Count me in.

Homelander finding a kindred spirit in a black girl? I really fuck with that.

Homelander going through an enemies-to-lovers arc with a native american? That's some gourmet shit!!

Homelander becoming obsessed with a Russian/slavic girl? I love to see it!

Homelander going weak on the knees for an arab woman??? I'll read it with that ya lili song playing in the background.

Pls, guys, I'm on my hands and knees. Write ethnically diverse stories. I've literally NEVER been fed!!!
