dndads s1 you're so special to me

I'm curious about people's levels of familiarity; I intend no judgment or elitism and it's absolutely fine not to be a completionist, btw. I didn't think I would've intended to have read them all at age 25; it just sort of happened that after I passed the halfway point in the middle of 2023, I came out of a reading slump and was motivated to finish. Fwiw I consider myself a hobbyist (I am not involved in academia or professional theater) but I realize that that label is usually attributed to people with less experience.

I also have always loved seeing other bloggers' Shakespeare polls where they put certain plays or characters up against each other, but I'm often left wondering if it's really a 'fair' fight all the time if you're putting up something like Hamlet or Twelfth Night against one of the more obscure works, like the Winter's Tale. It's not a grave affront to vote in those polls if you don't know every play, but I am curious about it.

Please reblog for exposure if you vote; I would appreciate it a lot. Also feel free to elaborate on your own Shakespeare journey in tags, comments, reblogs, because I love to hear about other people's personal relationships to literature.

"You're Henry." Duri's simple response might have been frustrating, and she knew that she had the tendency to skew that way, the way she spoke both blunt and a little cryptic, all at the same time. She loved the confusion she caused, if only because it tended to weed out the people who she wouldn't otherwise want to spend time with. People who matched her on her own level, or who found a way to rise or sink to it, those were the people she wanted to build a drawbridge for into her little castle of stone. "You go home every night and think about the interactions you had that day, not all of them, but a lot of them. Did you walk away from that interaction looking like a charming guy? Should you have said this instead of that? Did someone see a hint of self deprecation slip through a crack in that carefully constructed facade that's 50% you and 50% who you wish you were? And you look like you have soft lips. Makes me wonder if you bite them or lick them a lot."

The laugh that slipped from her was genuine and startling, even to herself, and she lifted a hand to cover her mouth for a moment as she settled herself. "No, I'm not a writer. I don't think I could ever sit down and articulate thoughts on paper the way I can when I'm saying them out loud. I just read a lot of different thoughts by a lot of different people, and I hold on to the ones I like the most." She was startled for a moment as he reached out to grasp her wrist, though she turned without protest, knowing full well that if anyone else had grabbed her like that, she would have swung around and slapped them, or at the very least shoved them off.

"Dinner, drinks, and then I'll decide if I still want a signed copy. And I'll warn you now that getting a first date is easy, but I don't do second dates unless I'm really impressed, so you'll have your work cut out for you if you have the time of your life and just have to see me again." The smirk she gave was playful but wicked. "You can pick me up here, at 8. That's when the girl I hired to close gets in."

"And how would your write me in the book of your life?" He shifted the question back to her, since she was so adamant in hearing that answer from him, it was only fair that she would offer him some enlightening, too. However, Henry doubted that when it came to this beautiful brunette across from him, anything would be as simple or as straightforward as most things were in his life... and he couldn't help but feeling excited at the thought. "Am I just your friend's famous brother that showed up wanting to know how his sales were doing? Am I a customer you won't remember the name once I leave? Am I someone you wouldn't have cared much about in the first place? Do I listen to dad rock in my car, do I turn on the local radio or do I drive in silence?" About the music, none of them were true, but he was curious as to what she would say.

All things considered, he thoroughly enjoyed being described by her... even if his charismatic ways had been inherited from a man he was trying his hard to forget, the resemblance was uncanny. "Are you a writer, yourself or just an avid reader?" He caught himself asking, after all, the way she would put things in perspective was different from most people. It made him go back to some of his creative writing workshops back in University and how he and his classmates would overanalyze every aspect of every bit of each other's writing. "An addition to the young bookshop owner who drinks iced coffee, loves witty remarks and has a shy smile she's very cautious who she displays it to?"

Henry moved after her and although he did pierce her personal space again, this time however, he didn't touch her, figuring that keeping his hands to himself would make him less pushy. "You don't strike me as someone who would ever lose your mystery and allure, Duri." Henry then offered a smirk of his own, goofy and playful as he finally reached for her wrist and prompted the brunette to turn around and face him. "So. Signed copy, dinner and drinks?" / @folliesofmiceandmen

He may grumble and grunt complaints about it but if you've been trusted to his care, he'll make sure nothing happens to you. And watch out for those rare instances you can get him to smile; catching one of those can change your whole outlook on life. Bonus: looks extra-hot when dirty and streaked with someone else's blood”

For Geralt:

“The body on this man is pure insanity. How can anyone be this huge? And while he's super-hot when fighting ferociously with a snarl on his face, he's also super-hot with a cute little smirk on his face while he leans back against something with his arms folded and sleeves rolled up. The forearm porn alone, my god!”

For Galavant:

Two generations of dumbassery

[folliesofmiceandmen]

Ellie had too many aprons in her kitchen, a constant rotation, enough to have one every day of the week and two spares for laundry day. Right as she grabbed one and tossed it on, she watched her brother sit on her counter, and while it was endearing, she wanted to swat at him and tell him to get down. She didn't do it, strictly because she was trying to bring the mood back to light and easy, and get that thick feeling of guilt and sadness to wash off of her quickly. She had put up with far worse antics in the past, after all.

As she started flittering around her kitchen, a blur of activity as ingredients appeared from cabinets and the fridge. She didn't want to outright state that it had been Thomas that has suggested the blonde hair the first time, because she had a feeling that would start a whole new thing. She did miss her red hair sometimes, but she liked the blonde, too. "I suppose it'll depend on if my hairdresser can match my roots next time I go visit them, get me back to natural. I guess I've been a blonde so long that I'm used to it now. Maybe next time I try out brunette, see how that lands before I go back."

Henry let out a sigh as soon as his sister pushed herself off her couch and started marching towards the kitchen, acting like they hadn't been having a heartbreaking conversation just mere seconds ago. He guessed he only had himself to blame for bringing the whole surname topic, but Henry didn't know it would lead to this. He rubbed his hand over his face before following the petite blonde to her kitchen, trying to salvage what was left of their day together.

In a swift motion, Henry propped himself up her counter, sitting there like he used to do in their mother's kitchen whenever Carla was in the mood to cook. "Soooo... when am I going to see your red locks back?" Henry wondered if it would be a touchy subject yet again. "Not that I have anything against the blonde and all, but I kind of miss the red." He didn't know what had happened for Ellie to start dying her hair blonde, but he'd always preferred her as a red head. It gave her more spunk, more personality, but he wasn't going to voice his thoughts. "As for the cookie, I'd be okay with anything. If I say something you'll go out of your way to make it happen, and well, I just want to hang out with my baby sister, is all. Chocolate chips is fine." / @folliesofmiceandmen
