It's happening! I've already started on it and actually have the beginnings of a moodboard from this shoot 😅. I'm just focusing on finishing up the piece for Halloween and then I'll finish this up 💕

no actor will be able to fully encapsulate romeo montague without being a weird delicate guy who has some social currency but is still so so starved for affection. like i would i were your bird lol. please kill me with such cherishing

I have a theory that the majority of people who're incredibly adamant that characters (ie. Romeo and Hamlet) are adults are the same idiots who think Shakespeare is some complex enigma that only professional scholars should ever even look at.( Because what teenager could EVER TRULY understand what death is. or something). idk. just something about elitism. even though most of his original audience was illiterate. this is a huge stretch but maybe thats why The Winter's Tale isn't as popular, because both Perdita and Florizel are both very explicitly 16 but maybe thats just me.

I feel like this isn't discussed enough but the four of the five people who died in Romeo and Juliet were teens and victims of the Capulet and Montague feud. Shakespeare basically almost killed off an entire Verona generation.

Mercutio: He's the first to die and he's not even from either house, he's actually related to the prince. Mercutio's death is where comedy turns to tragedy, and he dies cursing the two houses who let their feud not only destroy each other but Verona too.

Tybalt: He's the example of letting the feud consume you and letting it dictate your every action. He was so consumed by the curse of the feud that he hunted down Romeo for just showing up to a Capulet party. Rember, he had no idea that Romeo secretly married Juliet, and per Lord Capulet Romeo actually had a good reputation around town. That's how lost Tybalt was.

Romeo and Juliet: Our lead couple who tried to bridge their houses through love after several generations of hatred. They didn't want anything to do with the feud, they were just sadly born into it. Which is demonstrated by Romeo's and Tybalt's fight, Romeo never wanted to fight but that didn't mean he couldn't. In the end the couple succeeded stopping the feud but at the cost of their own lives.

It's sad that all of these authority figures, the Capulets, the Montegues, and the Prince (yes, he's included), failed so badly they lost a generation. By the end of the play the only two left of their generation that we know of is Rosaline Capulet, and Benvolio Montague.

Maybe they were left to cross the bridge their cousins built.

thinking abt benvolio starting the play as part of a trio and ending it alone

romeo + juliet inspired fashion mb

[superconfusedcoryn]

Idk why but benvolio seems like the kind of guy who runs around wearing cargo shorts all year, even if there's a literal fucking blizzard outside or something like that

[rudestmechanical]

literally nobody understands romeo & juliet like i do. there is a deliberate hope for change and reunion and betterment!! every family is explicitly stated to have a living heir left!!! benvolio and rosaline and valentine all have the opportunity to change things!!!! it is so significant that benvolio is the only one we see actively involved in the feud and even then he opposes its existence!!! romeo & juliet ends with hope not despair!!! ‘[…] doth with their death bury their parents’ strife’!!! the feud is over!!! things are going to get better!!!!!
