Quick Update - Hiatus

Okay, so as a quick update! It may look like I’ve abandoned my accounts, but I assure you this is note the case!

I’m kinda on a semi-hiatus until after college/exams end. Things are just kinda stressful now, so I need to try and focus on my work :)

I should be back properly when study leave starts, in around 18 days. Until then, please bear with! :)

Rosencrantz shuffled slightly when he received the disapproving look from his friends. Realizing the mirroring he was doing, the Elizabethan lowered his arms slowly and shifted his stance to try and be different from his friend. That was when the pacing started again.

He was slower in his movements this time, more thoughtful, though the air of nervousness and uncertainty still surrounded him.

As his friend moved to speak, Rosencrantz jumped up on a nearby barrel, towering over his friend and looking down at him, taking the role of the ‘King’. He stood proudly, crossing his arms again, before interrupting Guildenstern. “I’ve never HEARD of you!” He bellowed out, in his best authoritative ‘Kingly’ voice, talking over his friend. “What’s your GAME?!”

          lips pressed tightly together once he was cut off, eyes following rosencrantz. if his friend had let him FINISH, it would have explained their situation. but alas, it seemed that it was being turned into some kind of GAME  —  scenario ?  whatever it was, perhaps it was a way of easing the nerves that had come over rosencrantz. in which case, guildenstern couldn’t be TOO irritated by it.

         crossed arms finally dropped back to his sides, one more deep breath being pulled through his nose. fuck. why was the scenario so … nerve-wracking? it was only rosencrantz. was it because that he wasn’t too sure what to ACTUALLY say to the king of england ?  well, it was a good thing it was initiated… 

          ❝  we’re nobody SPECIAL,  ❞  he answered calmly, a hand rising to wave off their insignificance.  ❝  we’ve come from denmark with prince hamlet. we were instructed to deliver him to you.  ❞

Lifting his head up and straightening his back, Rosencrantz tried to look as authoritative as possible in his ‘Kingly’ portrayal. 

“Hamlet? Who is he?” The Elizabethan frowned, slightly over dramatically, as he put on his rather silly ‘King’ voice, interrupting his friend yet again. “It’s the first I’ve heard of this!” There was a small huff as he turned away, his back to Guildenstern.

“If you are no one of significant importance, why are you bothering me in my Court?” He continued, stumbling very slightly over his words but quickly getting back into character. A hand raised and, in almost exactly the same way, waved of Guildenstern’s nothingness. 

“Leave before I have the guards escort you out!”

Pragmatism. Is that all you have to offer?

I am going to be EXTREMELY disappointed in theater tumblr if y’all don’t hook me up with a bootleg of Daniel Radcliffe in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Oh, God I’ve been so lazy with replies lately. 

I think, with all the stress from college my muse may have waned slightly, but I’m getting him back :) 

Please just bare in mind that life is stressful and busy right now, because of college and exams and University applications. I’m sorry if I have seemed to drop any threads, I’m either waiting until after college has finished or I may have forgotten them. If you think it’s the latter, and you wanna continue them please don’t hesitate to poke me a bit. I’ll get round it it... eventually :)

My Muse has decided to eat in the other room instead of with the other party guests. Send 💔 + a number to join them and speak.

“Hey.. I dunno you very well, but i know something’s wrong, wanna hang out?”

“Hey. Why did you leave? I thought we were having fun.”

“Your a friend of the party host, right? So why are you eating alone?”

“Are you okay?.. I haven’t seen you too much tonight..”

“Okay. What’s going on?”

“Talk to me.”

“You seem quiet..”

“I’m sorry, i didn’t know someone was coming in here!”

“Don’t be shy.. You can tell me what’s going on..”

“You didn’t even turn on the light? Red flag number two. What’s up?”

Unlock the door! I know something’s wrong!”

“You don’t have to talk. I just want to spend time with you.”

“May i eat with you?.. You look kinda lonely.”

“Not a people person either, huh?”

Senders choice.

“I suppose we could…” Rosencrantz nodded slightly as he folded his arms, almost mimicking Guildenstern exactly, in both stance and tone of voice. That was, probably, why others always confused the two of them. He knew his friend didn’t like it, but he could never be ORIGINAL. He always had to copy, twist someone else’s words to make them his own.Unfortunately, that someone always seemed to be Guildenstern.

Rosencrantz bit his lip slightly. They still hadn’t DECIDED on what to do, but at least things were a little clearer for him. The Elizabethan knew what he had to do right now, and that was what mattered, wasn’t it? There was a pause, a comfortable silence between the two, before Rosencrantz started asking questions again.

“What about when we get there? Where do we GO? What do we SAY?” He frowned, quickly adding “To the English King.” For clarification.

          his eyes narrowed ever so slightly towards his friend once taking note of the mimicry. again with the repetition ?  the mirroring of body language ?  for the time being, guildenstern let it GO, not bothering to point it out. instead, he chose to ENJOY the silence that hung in the air between them. a break was always relieving.

         or rather, it was relieving until rosencrantz began to question him again. he assumed the answers were CLEAR  &  yet, he could see the obvious curiosity in his friend’s eyes. lips had parted to speak, but he said nothing for several beats. why did this scenario seem … FAMILIAR ?  they had never ben on a boat before but he could swear they had been in the exact situation before…

          ❝  well, we find the king  &  say —  ❞  there was a short pause as guildenstern cleared his throat, trying his best to shake off the too familiar feeling,  ❝  — we are rosencrantz  &  guildenstern. we have come to deliver hamlet to you, sire. we have a letter.  ❞

Give my muse a gift, and see my muse's reaction!

It could be anything! It could be a tacky gift, it could be the world! It’s all up to you!

[jackie-flannery-blog]

While I’m waiting for the time to put together a proper self-promo, I’m just going to put this out there :)

Please ‘like’ or ‘reblog’ if you’d be interested in interacting / rping with “Jackie” from the film “State of Grace”

He quite a hot-headed Irish-American gangster, fiercely loyal to his friends but deadly to his enemies. He can be very quick to anger and, when in very high emotional states, acts very impulsively without taking into account the consequences of his actions. However, that being said, if you are someone he knows and trusts he’s incredibly friendly, and excitable. (Please read the ‘About’ on my page for more info! And don’t hesitate to ask any questions about Jackie or the film if you want!)

OC and Crossover friendly!

[aliveinabox-blog]

So I watched "State of Grace” to get more modern RP icons for Rosencrantz and I fell in love with Jackie. So... I may have also made an account for him!

YAY SHAMELESS SELF PROMO

[nightscaped-archive]

important;; don’t be shy if you have a plot idea with me. I’m really open to these big, intricate storylines between our muses that have room to expand the characters and see development. Wanna ship our muses? Hit me up. Think my muse would be a great sibling figure to your character? Tell me. Have a cliche plot that you wanna do? I’m down. Please, I honestly love making these storylines and falling head over heels for a ship or get really emotional over relationships and enjoy how the story & characters progress.

[aliveinabox-blog]

So I've not even got halfway through "State of Grace" and I already wanna RP Jackie Flannery. Maybe I'm just a sucker for Gary Oldman xD

[aliveinabox-blog]

( Okay, I could rant so much about this, but this song reminds me of Ros and Guil. The first verse especially, them talking to Hamlet (the ‘madman’) and just sorta questioning everything. It’s not me just being weird right? )

"Did you just hear something?"

"Wait... if I'm right here... and you're right there... and we're the only ones in the house... then who's making that sound upstairs!?"

"OKAY THAT'S A GHOST I'M DONE! PEACE OUT!"

"Boo!"

"...Why do they always run? Was there something on my face?"

"Wait! Come back! I'm a nice ghost!"

"Get out.... get out!!!!"
