the sluttiest thing a man can do is be good at performing shakespeare

Okay everyone. So I know we've all learned the whole "Kit was killed in a bar fight" bit in school. That's wrong. He was framed and assassinated to weaken Sir Walter Raleigh. And that's actually way more badass and way sadder than the simple Live Fast - Die Young we think of when saying Kit died young. Read "The Reckoning" by Charles Nicholl! It reads like a f*cking thriller about late 16th century spy networks and Catholic prosecution. Now have a sad emo day for Kit!

Ophelia: This is my boyfriend, Hamlet. And this is Horatio, Hamlet’s boyfriend.

I'm not sure people understand that Kit Marlowe INVENTED badassery.

The 20's are upon us, so let's bring back going to university in suits, smoking in cafés while discussing academia, wearing bold red lipstick everyday and getting absolutely drunk on weekends while listening to jazz

I DID IT!!!!! FINALLY

Just to clarify: THIS is the best Bencutio Fanfic ever written!

Mercutio: Wait. What do you mean you're not supposed to have sex under the mistletoe?

Benvolio: You're supposed to kiss someone when you're under the mistletoe and leave it at that.

Mercutio: Well, that's a stupid rule. Who has that sort of self control?

Benvolio: This is why we never go to Christmas parties.

[the-mad-prince-of-denmark]

Mercutio: Do you have any kinks?

Benvolio: Peace and quiet.

[silver-tonguetied]

Mercutio: What do you call a dictionary on drugs?

Tybalt: If you say addicitonary, I swear to fucking god I will cut you.

Mercutio: I was going to say high definition, but yours is better.

Alex Hassell’s Hal CANNOT STOP MOVING. This is all within a minute - he is the most fidgety thing in the world. It’s wonderful. 

[genderfluidfox]

I love this. And it is true. That guy does not sit still for so much as half a minute. And I think its wonderful for the character at that stage. The will to do something all the time because Hal is not a lazy kid who doesn't want to fulfill his Prince duties, he has SO MUCH energy and (kind of like the boys in RaJ) does not know where to put it and so it goes into his body resulting in that restlessness, the speed and, of course, the knowledge that he won't do this forever. He knows his time as a rascal is limited and he wants to cherish every second of it.

the people who say that reading shakespeare plays will calm down today’s youth and make us smarter and more reasonable have….never read a shakespeare play

[genderfluidfox]

True. Still...everyone should read them 😂

Ophelia: babe come over

Hamlet: I can’t I’m hiding a body

Ophelia: my dad isn’t home

Hamlet: I know

[genderfluidfox]

This is Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, asking a chicken in bwok-language (if you ask me) "uuuuuh and have you considered this paragraph right here? What are your thoughts on that?" like...I know you already told us you're not exactly Hercules but your father is rotting in the afterlife right now waiting to be revenged and you're pretending to chat with a chicken about literature, Mister. I still love you.

act I, scene I

Romeo: My god, what is this feeling?

Benvolio: Well, you know the- the feeling that you're... that you're feeling is- is what many of us call "a feeling".

Romeo: But it's not like envy, or even hungry.

Benvolio: Could it be love?

Romeo: I know what an erection feels like, Benvolio. No, it's the opposite. It's... it's like my heart is getting hard.
