buying him time
Was just thinking about all the fun and funky parallels between the Trojan War and Romeo & Juliet, and it all centers around Juliet being Helen.
Recently I'd heard a PAINFUL take that the Romeo and Juliet is like the Trojan War because it's all just lust, which. 1) how DARE you. 2) there are so many better ways to relate the two!?!
Starting with Juliet as Helen, she's literally being pursued by a guy named Paris (!?!) who she doesn't want to marry. There's two sides at war, and maybe not exactly because of her...unless it kind of is? Our main cast is battling because of Romeo and Juliet themselves: Ben+Mercutio for Romeo, and Tybalt and Paris, for Juliet. They both fight and so many die...for love! Because if Paris/the Capulet household is like the Trojans and Paris (the prince) then that makes Romeo+the Montagues the Greeks, aka the side that had Helen's Actual Husband who she cared about!!!
Anyway just some incoherent thoughts ú-ù
pov: you need to make a villain for a ttrpg and then you realize Dorian Gray is right there, and he's literally free
maybe the real mercutio's brother was the gentleman of verona this whole time
āAverage person watches up to 45 adaptations of Romeo and Juliet per monthā factoid actually just statistical error; Romeo and Juliets Leigh, who has watched 7035 adaptations of Romeo and Juliet in the past week alone is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Just finished the Picture of Dorian Gray (delusional)
can u believe the play ends like this
okay i need to see something.
what colors are the montagues & capulets in romeo and juliet?
montagues are blue and capulets are red
capulets are blue and montagues are red
no, you fool, itās clearly some other colors (tags!)
results
Montague rhymes with blue, Capulet has the same "eh" sound in it as red does. It simply makes sense.

Tom Buchanan, in a blue suit, @gatsby: "says the man in the pink suit!"
Me, from behind the screen, aware that pink was the boy's color and blue was the girl's because WW2 hadn't happened yet: says the man in GIRL COLORS
i feel terrible for asking this but ārealisticallyā what wouldāve happened to ralph?
stick sharpened at both ends oh boy
simonās fate but in broad daylight
wacky outlaw ralph
he becomes a hunter
Julius Caesar
after ralph runs into the ocean jack tells them he was the beast
other (put in comments ig)
(Reply was too long to comment)
I think that Ralph wouldn't actually die; the other murders were basically accidents and not really intentional..? (From what I remember, it's been a moment since I read it last). I think Ralph would end up saying something like "just kill me" and the issue with something like that is before now, hunting was just a game. People were dying but it wasn't *murder*, and the second the word "kill" is attached to what the kids are doing, they wouldn't be able to do it. They could try, but ultimately these are children who thought they were playing a game. I think saying something about killing would bring an awareness to the situation and maybe help them to mellow out a bit.
Happy Ides of March BABEYYY
Order some pizza, dress up in linens, stab a salad 27 times, have a ball babeyyy
Here's a VERY old piece I made from when I first started digital art, I keep meaning to redraw it but until then it's my civic duty to share it every year
maurice: jack is kinda mother idk
jack, shaking him: BE NORMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YKNOW whats so funny is canonically ralph was like āiām sick of being the MOM on this fucking ISLANDā which means jack assumed the role of the dad because iām p. sure he also said he saw jack as the other parent, and gender roles of the 50s blah blah
which just tickles my funny because bro said WHY R THESE MY KIDS
guys which characters do you think would have siblings?
aside from my fav pair of twins, some characters just talk about parents so itās kinda implied that they donāt have siblings but just for arguments sake
i feel like simon would have a big family. it wouldnāt surprise me if jack was an only child but i feel like he could also have an older sibling too. and maybe roger would have a younger sibling
excuse me but what happened to ralphs mom? "In the succession of houses that Ralph had known, this one stood out with particular clarity because after that house he had been sent away to school. Mummy had still been with them and Daddy had come home every day."
Funny how I saw this on the exact day I was talking about this with my friends...we came up with 3 theories:
1. Dead (the most obvious conclusion)
2. Went to "get the milk"
3. Institutionalization was practiced from about 1900-1960. The book takes place around 1950. Do with this information what you will.
