If the Scottish Play's 3 witches were 90s teens.

Fun fact: women couldn't be actresses in Shakespeare's time so all his plays were males. As the men had to play women.

Historians debate as to why, though. Some plays are still acted as men-only.

((Really? That’s rather interesting, Anon!

Sooooooo I’m wondering how like kiss scenes in like Romeo and Juliet happened back in the day? I know there’s such a thing as an actor’s kiss where it only looks like they kissed but didn’t actually happen, so I guess that’s what happened.

Very interesting. Now I’m imagining dudes in like Elizabethan era dresses. 😂😂))

Lear after not being allowed to bring his 100 best friends to the sleepover

Actually can we talk more about how Secret Soulmates were two fucked up guys running from their problems but dooming each other and their soulmates in the process. Especially because they decided to Cheat instead of actually leave their soulmates

Can we talk more about how much they romanticized cheating and how they thought their hidden relationship was healthier when it wasn’t- they just thought it was because they were in the Honeymoon stage and couldn’t see the problems with it

Then they’re Forced to confront said problems when Grian accidentally fucking kills BigB

Idk how to articulate this but I don’t trust any actor who says their dream role is hamlet - it’s almost always just an ego thing…….UNLESS they also dream of playing Richard II.

Then it’s apparent that they’re just obsessed with playing the most pathetically tragic sad little meow meow they possibly can

Twelfth Night, National Theatre, 2017.

Sir Anthony Aguecheek (in pink checked suit) and Sir Toby Belch (Tim McMullan) mistake Viola/Cesario for her brother Sebastian, who fought them in a bar.

I live for McMullan's drunken rogue Sir Toby. Best imaging of that character I've ever seen.

I was for a little while @arrow-of-ravenclaw

I did a couple of Shakespearean plays back in the day which was pretty cool.

"you came here, you gave me a banner and said i had to swear allegiance to you. scar came over to me and said he'll fix my roof" there's something so human about that. because that's all joel ever really wanted, isn't it? against all the grandeur of the life series, all the betrayals and swords swung in unison and bridges burnt, he stands out in how little he cares about any of that. he doesn't need an army at his side, he doesn't need someone to stand at his back and lay their life down for him when the time comes. no, he cares for the simpler things, the things that almost make you forget that it's a death game. he cares for his builds and his dead bush monopoly and his silly beard that is not stuck on, thank you very much - maybe precisely so that he can forget that it's a death game. all the murder and betrayal and his own excessive bloodthirst - if he doesn't apply any of it any significance, then a game is all it is and soon enough it'll all be over and then they'll do it all again. ignoring his problems until they go away is what he's good at, and this is just the bigger of them. if he ignores this, too, if he doesn't think too deep about the blood on his fingers or the ash in his lungs, then he can wake up in a new world and build himself a helter skelter and it'll all be fine.

ren and martyn will come looking for grand declarations of loyalty, a crown dripping with blood and the same hand-sewn banner stuck to every shield. but all joel ever really wanted was for someone to fix his roof, feed his dogs, sit down next to him and cool the scorching fire inside until there was something other than the hollow void beneath.

"Why are you reading Shakespeare fanfic"

Maybe i'm just sad ok. Maybe i like the idea of Othello not having to deal with Iago's shit. Maybe i like watching Hamlet be a college student. Maybe i like Romeo dying painfully while Juliet lives happily. Maybe i like the idea of Lady Macbeth fucking me. Let me live.
