Well it seems like with everything I do, I’m a bit late to the party :/

King Fortinbras, son of Norway and newest ruler of Denmark. I’ve created this line of communication as a way of answering questions and maybe quelling any concerns.

Asks are encouraged :) especially about horses, i like horses

[Quick OOC tangent, I’ll be posting as my version of Post-Hamlet Fortinbras which is more fantastical and chill compared to what little we get of canon Fortinbras, if his characterization seems off that’s why.]

still now and forever thinking of the community theater production of Hamlet I saw a few years back, which was pretty much just dead standard and made no unique plot setting or directing choices EXCEPT. at the very end, when the army crashes in and Horatio begins his whole "what is it you would see" speech Fortinbras just fucking shot him to this day my mother and I use "it's like shooting Horatio" as shorthand for "grimdark gotcha-moment that undercuts everything else" and it's amazing how many plots and adaptations it's ended up popping up in through the media I've seen since, but I'll never get over the fact that that was the one unique choice the director had the balls for. yeah, sure, let's shoot horatio.

i’m sorry, you don’t also carry a glock 19 in your pocket and never use it in battle but just to shoot the guy that survived a tragedy?
