ever since someone pointed out to me that shakespeare wrote "twelfth night" after one of his twin children died, it's hit different.

like we know precious little about shakespeare's life and even less about what was on his mind when he wrote each play, but....he wrote a story where the twins torn apart by fate reunite, where the brother thought to be dead and gone forever actually miraculously survived, where the emotional climax of the story isn't the various love triangles getting sorted out, but the twins finding each other again and getting to live happily ever after.

like. fuck.

It's amazing how I read a Shakespeare play and I'm like sure I guess this is kinda clever but then I see one performed by a cast who really get it and ohhhh fuck. Holy fucking fuck. Yeah ok this really is That Good. I see why Shakespeare is such a big deal even today. Fuck.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
