never understanding y'all who hate shakespeare or studying shakespeare because ONE shakespeare fucks very hard and TWO if you are in like middle school high school it is the easiest shit to study i mean the EASIEST if you don't like to read shakespeare you can go to YOUTUBE DOT COM and type in ANY OF SHAKESPEARES WORKS and you will find a FULL PRODUCTION OF IT for FREE you SHOULD follow along with your book but you don't HAVE TO because you're experiencing shakespeare in the WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE EXPERIENCED and you will ENJOY YOURSELF and you will LEARN SOMETHING and this is the ONE OPPORTUNITY YOU'LL EVER HAVE IN LIT/ENGLISH/WHATEVER TO WATCH THE "MOVIE" VERSION OF THE BOOK I CANNOT BELIEVE PEOPLE BITCH AND MOAN ABOUT HOW BORING AND DIFFICULT SHAKESPEARE IS!!!

#insufferable theatre freak nonsense #i fucking LOVE shakespeare #as literature but first and foremost as THEATRE AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE EXPERIENCED!!!!!!!!!#and it's the easiest shit to study #like hello it is pretty much word for word translated onto the stage #these writings are so sacred that people won't fuck with any characters lines or plot points #it's way better to study shakespeare watching in tandem with reading you will understand it so much better #i could go on forever #hate hate hate how schools teach shakespeare because he fucks heavily and is way cooler than the way we're taught it #it is a DAMN SHAME that i was the only person in most of my classes who actually enjoyed studying shakespeare #because i was already into theatre and i actually understood it #you have to be able to UNDERSTAND it to ENJOY it and the way we teach it doesn't teach understanding!!!!!#i'm being 100% fucking serious if ur studying shakespeare rn cause you have to for school look up a production on youtube and read along #you will actually understand what they're saying because it's being ACTEEEEDDDDDDDD #LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE!!!!!#okay anyways #theatreposting #shakespeare

I still cannot believe this man hasn't earned all the praise and awards a performance of this level merits

#LUKE THOMPSON THE ACTOR THAT YOU FUCKING AREEEEEE #he is genuinely the reason why i love shakespeare now #i never Hated the bard–i quite liked him alright–but now that I have seen four of his plays #(most of them starring luke)#i have grown fond of the old bastard...#someone have him play macbeth already i BEG #luke thompson #mark antony #julius caesar #shakespeare #globe theatre

okay but "would i were a man, i would eat his heart in the marketplace" is like. The Line of the play. it's beatrice's anger and frustration and, most importantly, her complete lack of power as a woman. her best friend and cousin was humiliated, abused, and left for dead, and there is nothing that she can do, because, even if she's allowed to make fun of the men when people find it funny, she ultimately has no power as a woman. and no one understands, no one believes her, no one gets the absolute rage that she feels on behalf of hero. to the men it's all a game. and it's this line that makes benedick understand. after that line, he goes from refusing to hurt claudio to promising to fight him, because he understands. he sees when no one else does that beatrice has no power. and he agrees to fight his friend, not because he wants to, but because he sees that she can't.

#ugh #saw much ado on thursday and im having Feelings that i cant quite put into words #just #fuck #HE DOES IT FOR HER #HE DOESNT WANT TO #HE HAS NO EVIDENCE OF HEROS INNOCENCE #BUT HE DOES IT FOR HER #BECAUSE SHE CANT #and its this line #I LOVE THIS LINE #much ado about nothing #much ado #shakespeare #willy shakes #beadick

Sun & Moon

requested by @oops-it-is-i

#mitski is modern shakespeare for real #moon wlw and sun mlm solidarity #< that mitski song is about a woman and that shakespeare sonnet is about a man !#my first thought with sun & moon was a good ol' 'the moon will sing' by crane wives / 'sunlight' by hozier / icarus and apollo / toxic love #but that's been done enough so fuck it we're doing transcendent eternal love. unfortunately of a heterosexual variety.#also I'm still playing around with layouts and things so I'm sure any future moodboards will look different #also also. yes I snuck in an anne of green gables quote. as is my right #moodboard #collage #web weave #light academia #romantic academia #dark academia #art #poetry #greek mythology #renaissance #baroque #mitski #william shakespere #selene and endymion #selene #apollo #sun and moon #sun and moon dynamic #renaissance art #painting #oil painting #pre raphaelite #pre raphaelism

one moment theyre arguing on the bridge the next theyre necking in a turbolift (bickering is their foreplay.) also mckirk is peak "i married my best friend" energy

also i LOVE the idea of bones being inexplicably more flustered than spock over kissing the vulcan way,, theyre both terrible terrible tsunderes but jim thinks its so funny that they play it up sometimes when hes feeling down just to see him laugh

#star trek #star trek tos #tos #star trek fanart #leonard mccoy #bones mccoy #spock #s'chn t'gai spock #jim kirk #captain kirk #spones #mckirk #mcspirk #i am proud to inform you all that my close irl (extremely spock coded) calls spock the bowl cut guy #ngl might rework our irl interactions into spones comics because LITERALLY we're platonic but thats the vibe #i love them so much #i also annoy (fondly) the FUCK out of them with puns and rope them into mock arguments over silly funny things like shakespeares innuendos #anyways bowl cut guy it is #for some reason im determined to post daily???#no idea why #also im like slowly assimilating garashir into my pool of Ships so i may be getting into ds9 eventually #yes i get into fandoms SOLELY by reading fics dont ask me how it works i dont know how either #spones fanart #mckirk fanart #mcspirk fanart #dust trek hcs

okay i was gonna rb a post with tags about this but i felt mean doing it because it is not just one person saying this but i've seen so many people saying it and i have to make the correction. the heart killers IS NOT AN ADAPTION OF 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. point blank period, it is not. i know jojo wore the shirt when the trailer dropped, i know he quote tweeted a tweet talking about it, i know he loves the movie, but objectively speaking it is not a 10 things adaptation. jojo himself CALLED IT a shakespeare adaption and it is VERY OBVIOUSLY more based on taming of the shrew than it is 10 things. i can count on one hand the amount of parallels and direct references that there have been to 10 things in the show, whereas there have been DOZENS of DIRECT and EXPLICIT references to taming of the shrew, as well as many smaller and subtle references. this is not a "based on based on" situation. it is based on taming of the shrew, point blank period.

#like im sorry ive been seeing this take since the mock trailer dropped and i got it back then because we didnt have any actual show #but in watching the show it is SO EXPLICITLY CLEAR that this is meant to be a shakespeare adaptation #they have the same source material so of course there are going to be parallels #and obviously jojo has included some direct references #but it is not. based. on 10 things #and i think trying to say it is is not giving jojo the credit this show deserves #because like. i have my gripes with taking out the misogyny and making it about men #but objectively speaking jojo has PUT IN THE WORK and the RESEARCH of this being a shakespeare adaptation #not to mention the fact that while he took out the misogyny he subbed in something that gives the exact same #and equally as intense results while also evening the playing field for these characters #it is genuinely a FASCINATING thing to me and he deserves the credit for making it work in this way #and like i know i get it not everyone has read taming or likes shakespeare #and i understand im the only fucking person that even cares about the shakespeare of it all #and 10 things in extremely popular and everyone loves it and wants to draw parallels there #but its!!! objectively a taming adaptation. this isnt a debate or a question its a fact #the heart killers
