The US senate is such a gaggle of old fucks that the old fuck everyone was sure dropped dead last week wasn't even the old fuck that dropped dead last week

“The fact of [death] is nothing to do with seeing it happen—[…] that isn’t what makes it death. It’s just a man failing to reappear, that’s all—now you see him, now you don’t, that’s the only thing that’s real: here one minute and gone the next and never coming back—an exit, unobtrusive and unannounced, a disappearance gathering weight as it goes on, until, finally, it is heavy with death.”

“Whatever became of the moment when one first knew about death? There must have been one. A moment, in childhood, when it first occurred to you that you don’t go on forever. Must have been shattering. Stamped into one’s memory. And yet… I can’t remember it. It never occurred to me at all. We must be born with an intuition of mortality. Before we know the word for it, before we know that there are words, out we come, bloodied and squalling, with the knowledge that for all the points of the compass, there’s only one direction and time is its only measure.”

— Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Tom Stoppard

JUST hit me that in the 2017 ntlive production of ros & guil that the titular characters and the players are all in fairly uniform vaguely period costume like they all look like theyre in the same play meanwhile all the main characters of hamlet are a strange mishmash of old and new elizabethan and contemporary. the nature of hamlet being a play retold over and over again with wildly different interpretations of the main cast meanwhile rosencrantz and guildenstern remained flat side characters who never had the capacity to evolve to be more than slight comedic relief..

sci fi Rosencrantz and Guildenstern AU where one of them is an android and the other is their builder/creator, but they can’t remember which one is which anymore 

[oh-good]

The bit in the rosencrantz and guildenstern movie where alfred reaches out and holds ophelia for a second while she's crying

Like he's been in her shoes hundreds of times and he's the only one who knows what's in her head and he knows what will happen and reaches out just for a second because he feels for her

[agentravensong]

great test for the dynamic of a pair of characters actually imo (specifically for a particularly co-dependent pair):

throw them into a waiting for godot-type scenario (stuck in a liminal space with each other as the only factor they know/“get”/can rely on) and see how they deal with it. what they talk about, how they otherwise occupy themselves, what they try to do (or talk about trying to do) to get out of it, how they respond to any temporary passerbys/intruders, how quick they are to get frustrated at each other (or to offload their general frustration onto the other), and how quick they are to forgive each other…

and then pull a rosencrantz and gildenstern by having one “leave” (in whatever form that takes) without announcing it, before and without the other. and see what happens to the one who’s left behind.

maybe try it with both, just to see which scenario hurts more.

It’s about going around and around in circles and at the end of each cycle you say you’ll remember next time and change things and each time you start the cycle again you forget what you said at the end. And each time you pass the same markers and signs saying ‘no turning back now’ and each time you continue on and every time you end up in the same place. Side by side, assuring each other and yourselves that you’ll remember next time and change things.
