Depressed? Nah fam, I REpress. Pack that shit up tight. I’ll see you in ten years.

Not a coffee-brewing-related identity crisis causing me to make and fully consume 8 separate shots of espresso at 6:30 in the evening

when rose red said when i was a baby i was blessed by a stranger in waters i didn’t understand and now I’m infected with disbelief and blasphemy i’ll never have a holy land i am a ghost in the eyes of my god but i will transcend and vomit this loser our of me i will become the next big thing i will light myself on fire it’s time to get out of bed and be the starchild i can be a billion light years away someone’s thinking the same thing but he’s already turned to dust and the starlight i see is a billion light years old a ghost just like the rest of us nothing i see is there anymore but i will transcend and vomit this loser out of me i will become the next big thing i will light myself on fire it’s time to get out of bed and be the starchild i can be

At this point I feel like Theatre posts are irrelevant

- We’re arranging a bridegroom for you. - A bridegroom? Who is he, mama? - A wonderful boy from a wonderful family, and handsome like a rabbi. - Where will we live, mama? - In your bedroom right under your papa’s roof. There, beneath the holy scroll your papa bought, you will do you wifely duty.

I’ve seen the “get thee to a nunnery” scene done where hamlet has no idea he’s being spied on and just goes off on ophelia because he’s hangry. I’ve seen the “get thee to a nunnery” scene done where hamlet knows he’s being watched from the start and the whole thing’s an act. I’ve seen the “get thee to a nunnery” scene done where hamlet figures out he’s being watched half way through and gets super mad at ophelia for betraying him. now I want to see the “get thee to a nunnery” scene done where ophelia covertly nods at where polonius and claudius are hiding, hamlet gets the idea, and they’re both in on the performance the whole time. I want classically trained shakespearean actors to give us their best best show of bad acting. I want ophelia to mouth some of the most cutting lines to hamlet before he says them. I want hamlet to frown exaggeratedly at her and for her to take this as a cue to start crying. I want hamlet to go grab her by the wrist, her to wince, and him to automatically loosen his grip. I want them to stage hamlet dragging her around by the ear using classic stage-fight techniques. I want them to be aggressively in cahoots with one another because they know each of their bastard father-figures are watching.

I want this for the lols of seeing them trying to fake-fight on the spot, to give ophelia more to do than just be the victim, and so it never crosses ophelia’s mind that hamlet’s actually losing it a little bit.

that is, until she hears how her father died.
