#she totally wore a suit to prom right

she absolutely did!! and i bet laertes did something just a little feminine with his outfit in solidarity but mostly just because he likes pretty things.

is your rosalind nonbinary or does she just like playing with her presentation? both options are Very Good.

honestly, i bet rosalind would enjoy being called the mystery girlfriend! it fits in with her whole genderfuckery, "i'm pretending to be a boy and i'm going to make you woo 'him' as practice for wooing me" deal. her approach to relationships is to keep the mystery alive from the very beginning and never quite lose it.

WAIT YOURE SO RIGHT….Rosalind was pretty tomboyish during her time with Laertes! Laertes is totally the kind of guy who’d go for a handsome woman 🥺🥺 pretty boy x handsome girl is such a fun dynamic!!!

#laertes #as you like it #rosalind #spring brings violets #honestly i need to watch/read this play again; it's a great concept but the version i watched was sort of boring and disappointing #this is probably why it took me so long to think of as you like it as an option because i had it filed under 'fine but not great'#along with like. two noble kinsmen. or pericles.

I'm going to read all of Shakespeare's plays in the (approximate) month of April and anyone who wants to join (even for only one or a few) is more than welcome! I’d love to chat about any of them. Roughly chronological order, mostly one per day except for some finagling around the Henriads as two groups.

This begins first of April, Easter Sunday.

Two Gentlemen of Verona (yikes)

Taming of the Shrew (yikes)

1, 2, and 3 Harry VI and Richard III (long but thrilling day! regrettably a Tuesday)

Titus Andronicus (yikes)

Edward III (yikes)

Comedy of Errors (hmm)

Love’s Labour’s Lost (hmm)

Romeo and Juliet (no longer yikes or hmm worthy! so long, Shakespeare’s questionable early career!)

Midsummer Night’s Dream

Richard II

1 Harry IV, Merry Wives of Windsor, 2 Harry IV, Harry V (long day but on a Sunday this time!)

King John

Merchant of Venice

Much Ado About Nothing

Julius Caesar

As You Like It

Troilus and Cresida (hmm)

Twelfth Night

Hamlet

Measure for Measure

Othello

All’s Well that Ends Well

King Lear

Timon of Athens (hmm)

Macbeth

Antony and Cleopatra

Pericles, Prince of Tyre (hmmmm)

Coriolanus

The Winter’s Tale

Cymbeline

The Tempest

Harry VIII

Two Noble Kinsmen

Most of the plays only take an hour or two to read, so they aren’t that big of a commitment, and you can listen to them all on audio, reading along, in anywhere between an hour and a half to three hours depending on the word count. You could also see one/some if you felt lucky and lively, though that of course is a greater chunk of time.
