A part of the Lyrics from Stay by Shakespeare's Sister. It's a song I liked a lot back in 1992. Ghost made a cover of this great old song, and it inspired me to take this picture.
I love these; I do them every time I see them. Whoever sees this, I hope you do one too; I love seeing people's musical tastes and finding new music to add to my frankly overflowing playlists.
Rules: Shuffle your on repeat playlist and list the first 10 songs
Drunk Siobhan Fahey is burned into my brain from the first time I saw the music video for Stay, and I become OBSESSED with the song, but this version with Raoul, Vicomte de Chagny is pretty fucking great too.

Also as a bonus, I can't watch Sarah Brightman's La Luna Concert without seeing Shakespear's Sister
I was talking about a historical male author I dislike because I found his works misogynistic and the person said, "Oh, well I suppose you don't read Shakespeare either." and I was like, "Shakespeare? SHAKESPEARE?!?! Of course I read Shakespeare, that man loved women."
Shakespeare wrote a wide variety of fleshed out female characters. He wrote Damsels in Distress, Cross-dressing Girlbosses, and Complex Female Villains. He wrote a woman who refused to sell her virtue to save her family and then shamed her brother for suggesting it. He wrote Taming of the Shrew and it's opposite, All's Well that Ends Well, in which the wife hunts down and tames the husband. He wrote men who are good because they listen to, trust, and defend women. He wrote women of all kinds. He wrote women who drive the plot and women doomed by the narrative. He wrote women in love and women who pathetically follow a man who doesn't like them and women in hatred. He wrote sensible women and silly women and everything in between of all ages.
I wish modern authors could write women as well as he did.
“Will all great Neptune’s ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red.”
It was really nice to see all the Odin siblings complete in another reality (if only the reality didn't have a rift on it they would've been happier somewhat) BUT IT FEELS NICE THAT THEY COULD JUST BE CASUAL!! It would be cool to see more of the 1602 universe
