Tybalt Capulet Apologist @not-soup-333 - Tumblr Blog

Hi! My name is Soupie or Soup either one is fine! I'm a fanfic writer on ao3 (if you found me from there, hello!) I also have a Bluesky though I exclusively talk about how much I love Tybalt Capulet.

I'm probably going to make a carrd (when I can find the time smh) but for the most part I write fic that runs away from me at full speed lmao.

You might know me from Lulling Waves and Empty Skies, which is being discontinued because I want to use it for original fiction in the future. I'll post an update if I ever officially end up deleting it!

These days I mostly write (+read!) Shakespeare, Mamma Mia, Arcane, and IWTV fic <3

To organize my fics I'm going to start tagging them with an abbreviation! It'll be pretty self explanatory but I'd give you the sun is #igyts, and tomorrow passed them by is #atptb, and I'll add them as they continue to come out!

'romeo and juliet were dumb teenagers' romeo and juliet were raised in a town so genuenly dangerous that they (teenagers) walked around with swords to defend themselves. romeo was so suicidal that he literally talks about killing himself in almost every scene. juliet was taught by her mom to have kids immediately, citing her own pregnancy at TWELVE as a reason. romeo and juliet were both groomed into seeing love as a status rather than an actual feeling, so when they both connected with someone, they felt like they got to be themselves. and when they thought the other died, they killed themselves.

TL;DR:

broke: romeo and juliet were dumb teenagers

woke: romeo and juliet were teenagers held under such immense scrutiny that they felt killing themsleves was the only option

I've been losing my mind trying to remember my old Tybalt characterizations while doing these rewrites, I only have my post-Mercutio glow ones right now he needs to be angrier

Shane thinks Ilya is the coolest person in the world. Like thats literally Shane's biggest reddest firetruck. And when they are out Ilya loves this. He loves having a built in audience for all his chirps and jokes, he loves that Shane is either laughing or at the very least is hiding his smile. It is such an ego boost that his husband is his biggest fan. That the person who Ilya likes the best clearly and obviously likes him the best back.

how it feels to watch romeo and juliet without some guy whining in your ear about how it’s not an accurate representation of true love

i get so emotional every time i think about fanfic culture. it's just so beautiful that people are writing and anonymously posting these thousand-word stories about characters we all love and not even getting any money or public fame from it. it's literally just for the love of the game.

shout out to everyone who participates in fanfic culture, be it reading or writing fanfics. you are contributing to such a lovely thing <3

Not going to lie but everyone shitting on Rachel Reid’s writing and swearing up and down that fanfiction is better only for them to either write or consume AI written fanfiction with thousands off kudos and views is incredibly ironic

Like HR might not be very well written but at least a human wrote it and came up with the story 😭 lol

Locked in too hard on Romeo and Juliet again with my current reread of the play. Romeo has no agency within the text unless it's related to love and Juliet has agency no matter what. They're subverting gender roles within the play your honor.

Romeo, who's depicted as a bleeding heart and a deep soul, only actively pursues ideas of love through the play. Violence isn't something he chooses, it's something that happens to him.

He tries to separate Tybalt and Mercutio, and only resorts to killing Tybalt in his grief and love for Mercutio. Despite not loving Leonardo DiCaprio, his acting in this scene during the 1996 version is a perfect example of this. It's the same with his murder of Paris, he doesn't actively want death and violence here (dare I say this is why it's such a footnote within the story itself).

Juliet, on the other hand, has more agency throughout the majority of the play. Her father gives her the option to choose whether or not to marry Paris, at least before this is revoked later, and this seems to be reflected in her nature. While she has less text overall (and is a little harder to understand because of it, imho), she's more levelheaded than Romeo, and takes far more action than he does.

Juliet is the one to send her nurse to find out more about their wedding. Juliet is the one who decides to defy her father and refuse to marry Paris. Juliet is the one who chooses to go to Friar Lawrence to solve her problems.

All of this even gets boiled down to base gender roles in their deaths. Romeo chooses poison, considered feminine within Shakespeare's work due to its indirect nature, but also continues this characterization of Romeo as almost love incarnate. Juliet, however, has death by blade, which is more masculine in Shakespeare in comparison, due to it being more directly involved in violence. There is such a fascinating juxtaposition in their final scene as a whole between the two of them (that really boils down to my prior statement, though).

Anyway enough analysis, I'm horrifically tired and love r&j and all this to say that Juliet is a boy and Romeo is a girl and they're kissing nasty and it's awesome and I love them.

#heavy on the ldc thing. he was ass in that movie but his 3.1 was incredible #<- prev yes exactly! for the most part what draws me into the movie is the world he's surrounded in but that scene in PARTICULAR is so good

Tempted to kill Romeo and Juliet once again bro they are doomed to it in every lifetime to me
