Early Valentine’s Day appreciation post for my Valentine, @caexer ! Eliana is so kind and so amazing and sweet and a super talented artist. They have such exquisite taste and theyre so adorably passionate about the things they are interested in, it makes me smile. I have a lot to learn from them and they inspires me so often! Happy Valentine’s Day, my princely brother, I'm so proud of you!

what are your headcanons for hamlet's physical appearance? i have read your fics, and i love the way you describe him. it would make my day if you would describe a bit more! :)

Dark hair, grey eyes. Have you seen production shots of Ed Stoppard in the role from the English Touring Theatre production in 2005? Track those down, and you will see what I see. He just ruined me for everyone else in the role, practically, except for Jeffrey Donovan’s 2005 performance in Boston (but Donovan doesn’t look the part, to me, the way Stoppard does). Not even Cumberbatch measured up.
