"you can justify anything if you do it poetically enough,"

--m.l. rio, if we were villains

[burntoutyouth]

to people who moved on from IWWV - what kind of sorcery do you practice? what witchcraft is it? wdym you don't think about it everyday? wdym you don't think about oliver spending 10 yrs in prison to protect james? james and oliver finally knowing how they both feel just to get separated again? or oliver's "It's not the whole truth. The whole truth is, I'm in love with him still" monologue?

Tryna figure out their faces through the book has been quite difficult haha

The book is M. L. Rio's If we were villains

[sugarcube-stillabookworm]

If We Were Villains

Foreshadowing, or something akin to that

[amali4m]

m l rio really said "you can justify anything if you do it poetically enough" and thought it justified making me lose my mind over a bunch of emo theatre kids huh

[halleyys-comet]

I saw a video of someone who had just read iwwv, saying they were surprised about the “gay” in the ending and that it was unnecessary.

…have we been reading the same book? That boy spent the first half of the story describing how pretty and talented his roommate was and you really thought there was nothing suspicious? I mean of course it was gonna be addressed, their dynamic is one of the things that carry the plot!

Idk maybe straight people are just oblivious but I was like 20 pages in when I went “oh yeah those two. Those two are gay.”

I had some really ambitious plans for artfight this year, but I quickly had a lot of work on my plate as all of the planned slots that I had were immediately filled. I was hoping to attack every single character in the RD character tag, but there was just too many, so I had to cut it down to just staff and interns... and even then it was too much!! I didn't get to fit everyone in! I realized I had to make some cuts :( it made me sad, but I'm still very happy with the finished project. I hope to do this again sometime. Though... maybe not an animation...?? ^^;;

please check out the attack here so you can see everyone's lovely ocs!

YOU GUYS I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING WONDERFUL-

Okay okay, in If We Were Villains, they put on Julius Caesar. IF YOU REMEMBER CORRECTLY, COLIN PLAYED ANTONY.

Years later, when Oliver gets out of prison, he learns from Filippa that Alexander is currently staring as Cleopatra for his theater company in New york.

The real life Antony and Cleopatra were lovers.

GUYS SHAKESPEARE WROTE A PLAY TITLED ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA ABOUT THEIR LOVE AFFAIR-

ALEXANDER AND COLIN WERE MEETING IN SECRET.

A LOVE AFFAIR.

M.L. RIO YOU ARE A GENIUS.

OLIVER MARKS; THE LOYAL SIDEKICK

“you can justify anything if you do it poetically enough.”

[darkacademianew]

"Oliver, I don't understand," he said. "Why?"

"You know why."

[myst1cb0y]

[iwwv spoilers]

do yall think everyone in the group knew/assumed of/were suspicious of james & oliver?? like obviously richard and meredith but like the others too?

can you just imagine sweet little wren watching the two cuddle "platonically" on the couch? or chaotic alexander, whos like already gay as hell, just quietly observing them??

honestly too cute for me to handle.
