feel free to ask me anything always!!!!

i'll add to this on occasion

[evardstentacles]

fuck everything. whats the media people ASSUME youre into. what are people surprised that you havent watched/played/whatever

[gender-snatched]

Horatio and Ophelia are besties but no one gets it

[gender-snatched]

i. god. the horatio ophelia besties agenda never ends! them and hamlet are the only people the same age in elsinore and hamlet doing stuff. i know they bonded!! easy explaination for why horatio is bewilderingly in charge of her when shes crazy: theyre besties!!! bonding over being in love with the same man. who sucks

[gender-snatched]

i like thinking about hamlet good ending where everyone is fine and they hang out and hamlet is like "ophelia we are such good friends now!" and shes like "i am here for your boyfriend"

SHAKESPEARE BOOKMARK I GOT IN A STORE BECAUSE HE LOOKED SILLY AS HELL AND I LOVE HIM AND BECAUSE I KEEP LOSING BOOKMARKS

[corvidcall]

my favorite part of hamlet is at the beginning when they see the ghost of hamlet sr for the first time

and the guards are like “Horatio, you go talk to it! You went to college!”

and Horatio is like “Yeah! I did go to college! I will go talk to the ghost!”

like. where did horatio go to college. did he go to ghost college

[thepurposeofplaying-blog]

YES, ACTUALLY YES HE FUCKING DID BC

(a) EVERY COLLEGE THEN WAS GHOST COLLEGE bc ghosts were widely believed to be Real™ n thus scholars learnt abt them. moreover, as everybody knows, ghosts only communicate in Latin; Latin is the scholastic language. Horatio is a scholar, thus both knows abt ghosts and knows Latin, so it is very reasonable to assume he will b able to ask this one what up (as obviously sth must b up 4 it 2b wandering around, why else wld it b here, gawd, this is like. the most basic of basic-level shit)

(B) WITTENBERG WHERE HORATIO STUDIES WAS LIKE. T H E MOST SPOOPY OF GHOST COLLEGES bc they were alllllll about theology n the supernatural n shit so SUPPOSING HORATIO WILL KNO HIS SHIT ABT GHOSTS IS IN FACT A THOROUGHLY SENSIBLE ASSUMPTION

this has been said before but i am fucking adding it again bc it HACKS ME TF OFF when ppl reblog the post w/o commentary as if OP jsut fucking checkmated Shakespeare when in fact all they managed to do was fail at the most basic historical contextualisation of this scene n make a fcuking fool of emselves lmao

[kyraneko]

this feels less like a “checkmate, Shakespeare” moment than a “fuck was this dude on, this shit’s surreal” moment

personally I kinda love the complete effect of “thing that made sense when originally written appears hilarious/fascinating/weird as balls to people who don’t have that context, and then context is made known to them and it’s like a whole new level of supercool” 

it’s like the circle of life for shakespeare plays. “lol have the college guy talk to the ghost because as a college guy he has the necessary experience” transmutes into “every college was ghost college in shakespeare’s time” and the whole effect is awesome.

           “Behind him is a gay sight. Beneath the re-tilted umbrella, reclining in a deckchair, wrapped in a rug, reading a book, possibly smoking, sits Hamlet.”

Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

[withasideofshakespeare]

Shakespeare characters you’d most want to be your tumblr mutuals, go!

[shakespeare-guy-anon]

i paintrd my nails again🎉🎉

[frogsinflannel]

whoops sorry bud didn’t see you there (backs up so my post runs directly over you)

[shakespeare-guy-anon]

gimmick blog that goes around tagging "this post has 10k to me" on posts that already have 10k

[snow-leopard-anon]

dude this is exactly how my blog started but like. you can guess in what way it was different

I did kinda imagine that yeah Do you have any advice for like. switching more easily between my main and this account Having to log out then in every time is kinda a hassle

[shakespeare-guy-anon]

YEAH YES YES‼️‼️ i don't know if you use the app or not but i keep my main there and use the website for this one :]

[holidays-begin-at-sundown]

i feel like saying "[any other pair of characters] are dead" just feels like a factual true statement whereas like ok. "tom and jerry are dead". ok sure. "sasori and deidara are dead". yeah true. "merry and pippin are dead". that's so sad what happened to them. "rosencrantz and guildenstern are—" NO. NO THEY'RE NOT. THEY'LL KNOW BETTER NEXT TIME I SWEAR I SWEAR I SWEAR
