“I bet on losing dogs“ horatio and „losing dog“ hamlet :(

[dor-mp3]

The constant mischaracterisarion and misinterpretation of Horatio's character in 'Hamlet' is frightening.

No, he is not only needed by Hamlet because he listens regardless of what the prince has to say.

No, he isn't manipulated by Hamlet.

No, he isn't unimportant, what is more, without him, Hamlet wouldn't have just pretended, but actually would have gone mad.

Without him, we could not read or watch the story of Hamlet in theatres, according to the plot.

This is what Hamlet says about Horatio:

"For what advancement may I hope from thee That no revenue hast but thy good spirits to feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flattered? (...) Since my dear soul was mistress of her choice and could of men distinguish, her election hath sealed thee for herself. For thou hast been as one in suffering all that suffers nothing, a man that Fortune’s buffets and rewards hast ta’en with equal thanks; and blessed are those whose blood and judgment are so well commeddled that they are not a pipe for Fortune’s finger to sound what stop she please. Give me that man that is not passion’s slave, and I will wear him in my heart’s core, ay, in my heart of heart, As I do thee."

If you call this toxic, or say that this was said about an 'unimportant' person, you are just ignorant.

Hamlet, a (gay) summary

Aka the closet is glass

Gertrude: Hamlet I know you want to go back to university (where Horatio is) but I need you here (where Ophelia is)

Hamlet: UGH fine

Hamlet: *sees Horatio* 😍😍😍

Hamlet: uh oh, do I forget myself

Ophelia: Hamlet says he loves me

Laertes: Please don’t believe him - he’s not allowed to follow his heart, he has to do whatever is best for Denmark [babe you are his beard???]

Polonius: Please don’t believe him - the prince can have sexual indiscretions, but you can’t [girl he’s screwing around with guys???]

Hamlet: *sees his father’s ghost*

Horatio: Stop! What if it’s dangerous??

Horatio: *physically holding Hamlet back* I can’t let him hurt you

Polonius: Hamlet wrote Ophelia this love letter

Gertrude: Really? Hamlet??? 🤨

Polonius: Yeah it says “I’m totally in love with you, babe, I swear, why don’t you believe me?”

Polonius: But don’t worry, I know she isn’t in a good enough social sphere to marry him

Gertrude: Wait no I want Hamlet to marry literally any girl Ophelia actually

Gertrude: God wouldn’t it be great if Hamlet was acting so weird because he thought a girl was hot

Hamlet, to Polonius: *cishet voice* Better lock up your hot daughter so I don’t get her pregnant, amirite fellow straight dude 👉😎👉

Hamlet, to his friends: I don’t like men

Hamlet: WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING

Hamlet: The pangs of despised love are too much to bear 😢

Hamlet: Hey hottie! Did you pray for my sins lol

Ophelia: Here are your love letters back

Hamlet: I gave you no such thing

Ophelia: You did though???

Hamlet: haha, are you serious? …You’re hot? Ok, like, yes, I did—

Ophelia: You made me believe you loved me

Hamlet: Oh you should not have believed that, I did NOT

Ophelia: I was deceived 😭

Hamlet: Girl, heterosexuality is a scam, go be a lesbian or a nun or a whore or something, why do you want to be a breeder? Also do you have any idea how much sinning I do? I am picturing so much gay sex that I literally don’t have time to do it all in one lifetime.

Hamlet: Oh shit, is your father spying on us?

Hamlet: Fuck, uhhhh ok ok ok

Hamlet: Listen girl, even if you perfectly perform society’s heterosexual bullshit, they will still talk shit about you, so just go to a nunnery/brothel/whatever, or at least don’t marry an asshole like me

Hamlet: Also since your father is listening, uhh, here’s a bunch of toxic misogynistic bullshit!! And uh, you are the reason for my (fake) madness, just like he suspected!!! Ok bye! ✌️

Claudius, who was listening: Wow, I guess Hamlet doesn’t swing that way

Hamlet: Horatio!!! 😍

Horatio: Sweet Lord 😍

Horatio: My dear Lord 😍

Hamlet: I love you so much that my (female) soul is bonded to you

Hamlet: I love how you are not passion’s slave, like how could I not fall in love with you

Hamlet: …I made it too gay again, didn’t I?

Hamlet: *Loudly making sex jokes about Ophelia now that they’re in public again*

Horatio: *gets a letter* Literally nobody else would be writing to me except Hamlet

Hamlet: I need you to run to my side as fast as if you were running from death itself

Horatio: *Takes off running*

Hamlet, in private: Oh shit, Ophelia died?

Hamlet, in public: *leaps into her grave proclaiming his love for her as loudly as possible*

Hamlet: *is poisoned*

Hamlet: I am dead, Horatio

Horatio: And I’m like those (famously gay) ancient Romans

Horatio: *tries to drink poison after Hamlet is killed, Romeo and Juliet style*

Hamlet: *has to physically wrestle the cup out of Horatio’s hands*

Hamlet: If you ever loved me, you will survive this pain for me ❤️

Horatio: Now cracks a noble heart 💔

Horatio: Good night, sweet prince ❤️

Horatio: *uses the familiar form ‘thee’ instead of the formal ‘you’ for the first time in the entire play now that there’s no point hiding it* and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest ❤️❤️❤️

[dor-mp3]

Hamlet: Horatio, I'm dying.

Horatio: Nooo, I will die with you!

Hamlet: Bro what the fuck?

Horatio: No but you know Shakespeare, the guy who wrote us, he had this one play five years ago called Romeo and Juliet, and they both die at the end because they are lovers.

Hamlet: What? Are you gay for me, or-? PUT DOWN THAT FUCKING CUP!

[pearl-in-vinegar]

your honour I love them

[shakespeare-guy-anon]

fire alarm went off at school. i'm now sitting in the grass and reading hamratio fanfiction

[karahkat]

I'm upset because I came up with a really good word-play for my hamlet x horatio fic (hamlet knocks on horatio's door at night saying he's looking for a match since his candle went out, but also match as in partner) BUT MATCHES HADN'T BEEN INVENTED YET SO FUCK ME I GUESS

"to stay historically accurate, or not historically accurate, that is the question: weather 'tis nobler in the pen to stay consistent with the time period I have laid out for myself, or add this silly little scene that's really cute" <- Shakespeare totally said this

[knight-of-the-sad-figurine]

there are three types of thinking: 1. rational 2. irrational 3. horational, when you kinda see ghosts, but also your closest friend is going slightly mad, so you have to be the sensible and mentally stable one in your duo

[hamlet-the-dane-official]

Studies show that kissing your scholar friend lowers anxiety and woes. I have the source: https://veryrealstudyOxford.com

...indeed? a study? and you've provided quite a trustworthy resource. i always appreciate a person who can cite their claims! very scholarly of you! ...i suppose one kiss couldn't hurt. in fact, it might help to clear my head! if horatio agrees, of course. i shall have to question him on the matter. for...the pursuit of science! and my own peace of mind, of course!

[hamlet-the-dane-official]

Are you gay for Horatio

..........joyful for him? happy...in that he is near to me and dwells well within my heart? well, certainly!

horatio is...a dear friend! strong and kind and clever! have you ever seen such a man before!?

My gratitude in the form of an animation, in honor of the people on Twitter who managed to raise over $10,000 in a fundraiser for the medical needs of LGBTQ+ people

[jellojellojello]

[fan-a-tink]

for my 16 year old self who loves these two to death heres some ineffable husbands. watching the finale tonight

[shreekofjoy]

Tybalt (The Shakespeare Character) is named after Tibert (The Prince of Cats), a character from the then popular story Reynard the Fox. Mercutio, in fact, mocks him as 'The Prince of Cats' in reference to this.

Therefore, I propose we name him "Garfield" in all modern retellings of Hamlet

[mightymo63]

Wasn't Tybalt a character in Romeo and Juliet?

[shreekofjoy]

I am stupid.

[erratic-dragon-fruit]

I mean as long as we’re here we should put Garfield in hamlet anyway
