[shakespearenews]

I was not allowed to leave Eton until I acted. That was what they said: I needed to take part in one of their formal dramas before they’d punch my ticket and release me into the wild. It sounded ridiculous, but theater was deadly serious at Eton. The drama department staged several productions each year, and the year-end production was always the most major of them all...In the late spring of 2003 it was Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. I was cast as Conrade. Minor character. He was, perhaps, a drinker, perhaps a drunkard, which gave the press all sorts of clever openings for calling me a drunkard too. What’s this? Bit of typecasting, is it?”

In Act 1 Scene 3 of Much Ado About Nothing Conrade tells Don John to calm down and Don John goes "bitch, you're a capricorn, you can't tell me shit"

If that doesn't convince you that MAAN is beautiful, I don't know what will.

Some more self-indulgent art, this one is of a long-running OC you’ve probably seen around on here before, Conrade. He was mainly fleshed out in my first ever dnd campaign and in summary is generally a huge bastard of vague fantasy rome nationality from an obscenely wealthy and underhanded lineage and is generally fond of being a general debauchee and avoiding his family’s responsibilities and judgement. Sneaking around with other men after dark is also a bonus.

Second pic from a certain point in time and features his elder brothers & himself. His brothers are often semi-violently vying for favour to inherit the family business, fortune & status, and as third in line, Conrade was very much the spare. After that is Conrade's father, mother & uncle. His father has lots of affairs, is very argumentative & ruthless, and his mother is from the 2nd marriage - Conrade takes the most after her looks-wise, though she's very distant from him. His uncle is his father's younger brother and was probably the nicest adult in Conrade’s life, until he went missing.

The last two are a 1920s AU as I skillfully forced him as an npc into a Call of Cthulhu game I’m running with my sister’s character, also depicted there. I’m pretty fond of this character and I was pretty happy with some of this more recent art. Thanks for reading and viewing!

Daily Shakespeare

Borachio: Thou knowest that the fashion of a doublet, or a hat, or a cloak, is nothing to a man. Conrade: Yes, it is apparel. Borachio: I mean, the fashion. Conrade: Yes, the fashion is the fashion.
