To all those interested, here is my essay dissecting the similarities between Undertale and Shakespeare's Hamlet.
For context: this was a final I wrote for my Shakespeare class, which was the first time I've ever read any of his works. This was the first class that I ever wrote on theatre, especially about philosophies concerning how theatre works.
The goal of "Defying Tragedy" was to write about my own theory about fiction, and discussing fictional narratives as green worlds, in reference to Harry Berger's theory of the three worlds. "Defying Tragedy" uses theatre-events to discuss video game narratives in an academic context, therefore bridging that gap between the familiar and unfamiliar, and allowing me to talk about video games in an academic setting (lmao).

i got WELL carried away with this one, lads
couldn't decide if i wanted to write a fanfic or draw fan art so i kind of did both at the same time for maximum efficiency
again i’ve not even played much of the game because i've been so inspired to draw and write as soon as i got started, so i am maybe projecting some personality onto them for now, but i want to think Kim likes to fluster Harry a lot (platonically or romantically, either is good)
mostly gleamed that from the "mambo or jambo line" among others
also wrote an excerpt from Shivers but it got a little suggestive for the comic

So while listening to Episode 6's case, I remembered that during the early premiere stream Jonny and Alex talked about Needles a bit. So I figured I'd put them together to make a nice little intro for Needles because I fell in love with him immediately.

Cardan trying desperately to get salt into Jude when Valerian is shoving the faerie fruit into her mouth is just such a good scene.
like, yes, he takes the vial of salt from her -- but he throws it in the air to sprinkle it all over. I feel like he was almost hoping and praying some would land on her or the fruit or the damn dirt and save her.
and then he takes off his shoe and tells her to kiss his toes. like, he's trying to act like he's degrading her along with everyone else, but he also knows that his sweat has salt in it.
and when that doesn't work and Locke is about to walk her home, Cardan gets desperate enough to do something fairly obvious, risking that his friends and everyone else will see that he's helping her but not being willing to let her go alone with Locke while she's so intoxicated. So he pricks her finger and pokes it into her mouth so she gets the salt from her blood.
I feel like he does this partially because of his growing feelings for her, but also because at this point he has already decided he really doesn't like how humans are treated, has seen the way they look when they're ensorcelled and has already helped some of them escape faerie.
he's just so great okay?!

I don't know if y'all noticed, but Colin Bridgerton is a match-making mamma!
In season 2 he pushed Anthony and Kate together, when he knocked Kate's ball next to Anthony's. And he did it with a SMIRK.
In Benedict's story he told Benedict to get his shit together and marry Sophie right away, no matter her status.
In Francesca's story he told Michael basically the same thing.
In Gregory's story he literally sat in a tree by Greg's side, spying on his brother's match.
The mammas should give him an honorary doctorate at this point.
Too bad bitch is so blind to his own match, lol.
