#OH I LOVE SHAKESPEARE

[ashleygraves-number1defender]

Pinned post!

Hellooo I don’t know what I’m doing okay so…

I’m Lea! She/they, I’m 18 (and honestly idk how I successfully made it this far). I’m a lesbian and autistic and my default state of being is confused 💅

This blog is gonna be a mishmash of everything I find interesting! Note that I have a lot of “weird” interests, I guess I’m a proshipper actually, and there may be socially uncomfortable topics discussed here! You’ve been warned.

NSFT blog is @porcelain-pervert but I follow from here! (ps. if you’re a mutual who views me with any degree of dignity… look away. dont go there.)

Basic DNI criteria; racists, misogynists, homophobes, ableists, etc. fuck off please… also if you dislike birds or cats I don’t think we can be friends 💔

Also! If you’d like me to tag anything (flashing lights, blood, etc) just let me know 🩷

God guys I'm really in the trenches with thinking about Mary and Arthur and how utterly tragic they are.

After so many years of no contact, Arthur only meets Mary three times throughout the span of the story, three times where they talked about love and regret and pain and wishing things were different. Three times was all it took to officially break both of their hearts again, and one broken forever into the grave.

They wanted to run away, they wanted to run away and be happy, they wanted to be together again, they wanted it so badly and it was just so out of reach.

The last thing Arthur ever did with Mary was take her to the theatre, the last thing Mary ever did with Arthur was give back the engagement ring he had given her.

Because Arthur wanted to marry her.

Arthur wanted to marry her and run away with her and forget their families and make a life together.

But Mary didn't get a letter back, she didn't hear anything from Arthur, maybe she hoped that Arthur had moved on too, but Arthur died and had been dead the whole time. Mere days or weeks after she sent that letter, Arthur died.

How utterly soul destroying would the guilt and pain be after finding that out? That the last thing you did with the love of your life was write about how you're ready to move on days before they died? How she wrote about never forgiving herself for falling back in love with Arthur again when he was alive, but now he's dead? He's dead and there's so many things she'll never be able to take back or write about again, now she's all alone without even Arthur to help her even when she felt horrible for asking in the first place, now she will have to grieve instead of trying to move on like she promised, god you guys.

i like how ironic it is that Cardan's birth prophecy was probably very unique to baphen simply because of how straightforward and up to the point it was, no vague metaphors or dilly dallying like you usually see in prophecies, but Cardan turns out to be like the biggest poet ever with the best diction?? He is never too curt or blunt with his words, there's this certain 'silky' way he uses to convey things while exerting authority/malice simultaneously in a sly manner. It's just something I noticed.

I just need everyone to know that I fucking hate Hamlet prince of Denmark. This stupid fictional man makes me so goddamned angry I need to squeeze him like one of those rubber toys where the eyes pop out and shake him so violently like a child discovering snow globes for the first time. I fucking hate Hamlet prince of Denmark oh my god.

Shakespeare's JULIO CESAR trans. Bienvenido Lumbera

you know the scene, "You bear too stubborn and too strange a hand Over your friend that loves you." "Nor construe any further my neglect, Than that poor Brutus, with himself at war, Forgets the shows of love to other men," aka the conversation in Act I Scene II that makes me feel a little unraveled in every language I read it in :')

and ofc, the shows of love

my favorite trope in literature is when the MC watches a shakespeare play for "no fucking reason" until you slowly realizes its all adding to the theme/characterization
