Can I just say that this was the funniest thing in the goddamn world to me the first time I saw it, and even now I still get a giggle out of the look on his face when he realizes what he’s done.

#JUST rewatched this and not to be the world's most basic gay but uhhhhh fuck #much ado about nothing #watching much ado is always such a toss up #because on the one hand beatrice and benedick #but on the other hand that means suffering through claudio's existence and the agony that is hero's plot

reblog if you also have a personality endowed with a homoerotic component

#shakespeare #twelfth night #this article has been the most boring but necessary take on the antonios being gay so far #like i'm glad you're talking about it but everything it says is... predictable #but this phrase is the funniest thing i've read in a WHILE #thanks joseph pequigney #mine

people give hamlet grief for being indecisive but to be entirely fair to the guy, he does get around to killing someone. like he has two major hangups, 'can i trust this ghost' and 'does sending claudius to heaven count as revenge', both of which are pretty reasonable, and once he's cleared those hurdles the next thing he does is stab someone through a curtain. and idk about you but i feel like 'accidentally killing your ex-girlfriend's innocent father' is enough to make you think twice about your next murder attempt, even without the distraction of being exiled to england, tricking your ex-best friends into sending themselves to their deaths, and getting kidnapped by pirates

#hamlet #shakespeare #idk i see a lot of 'hamlet procrastinates killing claudius' but tbh he's mostly very sensible about it #and it's not his indecision that kicks off all the tragedy it's the opposite!#he doesnt check who's behind that curtain and then he's killed an innocent man #& driven ophelia to suicide and gotten hinself exiled which leads to ros&guil's deaths #mine

(to the tune of mambo no. 5) a little touch of harry in the night

God, for his Richard, hath in heavenly pay a glorious angel.

Then, if angels fight, weak men must fall, For heaven still guards the right.

Sonnet 29

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possessed, Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, (Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate; For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
