I would pay real money to hear Falstaff mutter “get a room” at least once after Poins shows up in scene 2 of 1 Henry IV.
Hal: Good morrow, Ned
Poins: Good morrow, sweet Hal-
Falstaff: For God’s sake. Get a room!
And it works so well because Poins immediately turns to Falstaff and harasses him for (seemingly) no reason.
#shakespeare#1 henry iv#Ned Poins#prince Hal#Jack Falstaff#also I firmly believe Ned should show up in a bathrobe#none of these people own a single presentable outfit#this also works with an incredibly dramatic eye roll in place of dialogue

this quote is literally so insane for me to analyze like wow hal. congrats you surpassed the patriarch of the world you're in and now everyone calls you a good boy. i bet you have a super normal relationship with your dad
#henry iv part 1#prince henry of wales#prince hal#jack falstaff#shakespeare#not gonna give a 'she's so crazy' because he has unequivocally boy mental illness#wow. the first rich boyslut with daddy issues. history was made

Henry IV, pt I 1990s-radio-station AU in which Falstaff is the world’s laziest DJ, who hangs onto his job partly because Hal the station manager thinks he’s funny, but also because his show runs from two to six a.m., and the people who bother tuning in at that time of night are ones who actually like the stuff he plays. The station keeps getting letters from Kraftwerk fans who thank him for regularly playing the full-length version of ‘Autobahn.’
Actually, Falstaff’s only ever listened to the opening and closing bars of the track, he just knows that if he puts it on he has twenty minutes to go smoke a joint with the clerk of the convenience store across the street. The other reason he’s popular enough to not get cancelled is that he is genuinely funny and even kind of insightful when he’s stoned at 3am.

Furiosa x Jack are like Peggy x Stan if there was an apocalypse on Madison Ave. in the '60s...
#they have the same incredible chemistry and also just absolute children in many ways which is actually sweet at times...#Furiosa x Jack#furiosa: a mad max saga#Mad men#and there is something about the fact that they are co-workers and go out of their way not to think of the other one LIKE THAT#but there it is...every day in your face: this person knows you in unique and intimate ways that parallel sex but you don't fuck#Is there a version of Fallout set in the late 60s?#Peggy x Stan#Also I think ATJ's sixties period films are in my head and so is Tom Burke because he is just basically orson welles to me now#so he fits perfectly in that era...I'm thinking about his heartbreaking but utterly beautiful falstaff#his glorious larger than life toga-wearing-cigar chomping late 60s SWAG...the boy still fucked I tell you#BRING IT ON

Thoughts on Exeunt
- Morse and promises: he gives Jakes his word he’ll continue the dig, but shuts it down to protect the Thursday family
- Roger Allam and Shakespeare: the episode has 2 nods to Allam’s most famous Shakespeare roles — in Bright’s Prospero speech and Endeavour’s “I know thee not, old man” (what Hal says to reject Falstaff)
- Dickens: the undertakers, Claypole’s, have the same surname as Noah Claypole, the bullying and incompetent apprentice in Oliver Twist
- Holy Social Relevance: the Brexit/Nazi Murderer airing the weekend of Linekergate
- I’d forgotten how much Jack Laskey ups the tempo of the show (and I think his new maturity on camera was really striking)
- A nice tie-in to the otherwise slightly narratologically shaky but horribly moving end of the book version of The Remorseful Day, where Lewis discovers that Morse acted [to avoid spoilers — in a way which disappointed Lewis] as he did to protect Strange’s marriage. In retrospect, this piece of canon makes MUCH LESS SENSE without the Thursdays.
- Lovely parting scene where Thursday’s boy has disappeared behind the mask forever
- Thursday’s Funny Turn in Exeter front quad!!! Cries of Oh No from me
- Morse having a little lie down on the floor of Joanie’s wedding: relatable content even without the stabbing
- I was surprised how much I’d still somehow been hoping for an escape for Morse… when we know though…
- And also, of course, for Max, who similarly dies alone — with Morse as sole mourner
- The determined erasure of LFox from the ensuing documentary is the absolute fucking funniest thing I have ever seen in my life
- I do hate seeing Thaw!Morse look so ill and I thought it was pretty crap of the documentary not to mention how sad Thaw’s early death was
- Please not the hardcore filming fans oh god, the shame of them, they’re terrifying
- Anton Lesser’s lovely hair and discussion of learning his words!!
- Love how essentially we replaced Tigers with Bikers
- Strange not wearing a wedding ring BLEAH, run, Joanie
- Had something happened or is it the changing tech which meant Thaw Eyes looked much grainier in 2022 than they had in 2012?
- NOT MY SON, kill me
- the captain I would have followed into hell!!! you did follow him into hell Morse although lbr it was often the other way round

"If sack and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked! if to be old and merry be a sin, then many an old host that I know is damned: if to be fat be to be hated, then Pharaoh's lean kine are to be loved. No, my good lord; banish Peto, banish Bardolph, banish Poins: but for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant, being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him thy Harry's company, banish not him thy Harry's company: banish plump Jack, and banish all the world."

for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff,
Banish not him thy Harry’s company,

Banish plump Jack, and banish all the world.
Prince: I do; I will.

I gotta start putting Falstaff level signatures on my email
“—By me, thine own true knight, by day or night, or any kind of light, with all his might, for thee to fight, JOHN FALSTAFF”
“…farewell. Thine by yea and no, which is as much as to say, as thou usest him, Jack Falstaff with my familiars, John with my brothers and sisters, and Sir John with all Europe.”

smth abt old kings whose minds were brilliant in their day but their health is declining now like lear and henry iv makes me so sad. they’re so lost in times gone and wars won and their lifetime full of mistakes is finally catching up to them and they don’t understand why theyre not respected like they once were. actually deciding this post applies to falstaff too. king of sack. these poor old pathetic kings. i want to give them a little war. as a treat <3
#it’s the loss of dignity for me#there’s probably a richard ii line that fits rlly well with this line of thinking#imagine i inserted it here#sad stories of the death of kings etc etc#henry iv part 2#king lear#jack falstaff#shakespeare#richard ii#my stupid little thoughts
