a brave face for the last farewell

"I am but mad north-north-west: when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw." [Independent RP blog for Shakespeare's Hamlet]

That’s what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.

❛ Do you remember when we first met? ❜

Hamlet laughed over the edge of his wineglass. “Of course I do.” How could he forget? He’d walked into a single room he had assumed was his, only to find out that he had a roommate that administration had neglected to notify him of. Best mistake of his life, and it wasn’t even his.

❛ You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to. ❜ ❛ I didn’t think it would end this way. ❜ ❛ I need a change, or something. ❜ ❛ The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. ❜ ❛ I’ll get there, if I leave everything but my bones behind! ❜ ❛ We’ve had one, yes. What about second breakfast? ❜ ❛ Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. ❜   ❛ Do you remember when we first met? ❜ ❛ It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart. ❜ ❛ If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. ❜ ❛ Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. ❜ ❛ Go now, and die in what way seems best to you. ❜ ❛ I do not fear either pain or death. ❜ ❛ I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the Ages of this world alone. ❜ ❛ Your time will come. You will face the same Evil, and you will defeat it. ❜ ❛ All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. ❜ ❛ It is not the strength of the body, but the strength of the spirit. ❜ ❛ It is useless to meet revenge with revenge. ❜ ❛ A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a short cut to meet it. ❜

For the meme: YOU DONT DESERVE HORATIO

[He would probably cry and also agree loudly while looking for Horatio in the crowd t b h]

Hamlet nodded, placing the piglet gently in Horatio’s lap. “Isn’t he adorable? When I drop dead, he’ll rule Denmark and nobody will know the difference,” he said, dropping his head onto Horatio’s shoulder. “A cute insurance policy.”

[philosophiie]

“ Very. “ Horatio gave the piglet some soft pets– content when the soft warm animal settled in his lap. As much as he’d rather not lose him, he had heard Hamlet’s talk of his death enough to stop questioning his intent. “ You say that as if you have a plan. “ 

[the--dane-blog]

“Always good to plan ahead,” Hamlet wrapped one arm around Horatio’s shoulders, gently scratching behind the piglet’s ear with his free hand. “He likes you,” he smiled, watching as Hamlet III relaxed in Horatio’s lap. “That makes two of us.”

If you lost my muse in a crowd, what “offensive” thing could you yell that'd be GUARANTEED to track them down?

“Guildenstern!” Hamlet turned to face his friend, smiling ear-to-ear and holding a pink, wriggling mass in one arm. “Say hello to my little friend,” he said, bending down to release a tiny pig onto the floor. “I named him after myself.”

[callidusxfatuus-deactivated2016]

With an equally broad grin, Guildenstern stepped forward with an arm outstretched–then let it fall as his gaze turned in confusion to the small pig that was let down to the ground. He paused then with a quizzical stare, first to the pig, then to Hamlet. “Your Highness, a…pig?” “Though I have to admit, the pun is admirable…”

[the--dane-blog]

“A teacup pig,” Hamlet corrected. “Isn’t he adorable? You can pet him if you want,” he added. “He likes being scratched behind the ears.”

[callidusxfatuus-deactivated2016]

With a half-hearted smile, Guil nodded and crouched to more closely inspect said teacup pig. “Ah, yes…so…adorable?” He slightly nodded and patted it’s head.

“I just…why?”

[the--dane-blog]

"Why not?" Hamlet returned, sitting down on the floor and stroking along the pig's back.

[the--dane-blog]

Hamlet shifted sitting down and bringing the small, squirming piglet in his hands to his lap. “His name is Hamlet III,” he said, petting it gently. “I bought him last night.”

[philosophiie]

There were many a thing he would have said, though the sight before him allowed no words to come out. A piglet. “ .. You bought yourself a pig. “ He said it like he couldn’t believe it, though this was an improvement from the various other ideas his Highness could have set in motion. Nevertheless he sat down with him, studying the pink exterior of the little animal. “ And named it after yourself ? “ 

[the--dane-blog]

Hamlet nodded, placing the piglet gently in Horatio's lap. "Isn't he adorable? When I drop dead, he'll rule Denmark and nobody will know the difference," he said, dropping his head onto Horatio's shoulder. "A cute insurance policy."

[the--dane-blog]

“Before you say anything else,” Hamlet smiled, shutting the door behind himself with a foot, hands clasped behind his back. “I’m just going to do this…” He leaned forward, pressing a quick kiss to Horatio’s nose.

[philosophiie]

  Unexpected. Horatio blinked,raising his brows and  giving the prince a long look. “ Most kind of you. “ He smiled, replacing the look of confusion imprinted on his face. It seemed he could always count on him whenever – even when in need of the smaller gestures.

♣️♣️♣️♣️

Hamlet shoved his papers together and stuffed them into his notebook, hands shaking slightly. The exam was in twelve hours, and this was his own fault, he should’ve worked harder earlier--

He stood, book tucked under his arm, and left his room behind in a few strides and a nearly-slammed door, making his quick way across the hall to Horatio’s room. When nobody answered his knock, he tested the door and, finding it unlocked, slipped inside. “Horatio, I--”

Hamlet found the other hunched over, shoulders shaking, and his heart sank. He dropped his notes onto a chair and wrapped Horatio in a tight hug before pulling back and gently wiping under his eyes with his thumbs, hands framing his face. “What happened?”
