Brutus and Hamlet, as explained by my friend:

Brutus is when you text your bf “Hey sweetie are you ok?” And he replies “yeah. Just tired. Got a lot on my mind” And you ask “Like what? And he says "it’s not important” and you write back “if it’s important to you it’s important to me” and he writes nothing so you write “you’re important to me” and he writes back “thanks <3” and you let the matter drop because you don’t want to be clingy, and then you find out the next day he assassinated a senator. Hamlet is your ex who vaugebooks a concerning status so you message him “hey, u ok?” And he leaves you on read for two days and you see him typing for a super long time but he just says “no” and then without you saying anything he types an hour later “leave me alone” and then “I miss you” and then you find out he killed your dad.

Juliet: Romeo, Romeo Wherefore art thou Romeo?

Romeo: I'm right here Juliet?

Juliet:"Wherefore" means "why" not "where."

Romeo: Misunderstandings like these define our relationship.

let’s all take a break from the discourse to celebrate the fact that aubrey plaza came out as bisexual

[ravefromthegrave]

[girlnebula-deactivated20181206]

bisexual women in the public eye - or bi girls in general - don’t have to publicly date other women to prove that they’re a Real Bi. fuck off and shut up

at what point in history do you think americans stopped having british accents

[libby-on-the-label]

[lesbian-state-of-mind]

Actually, Americans still have the original British accent. We kept it over time and Britain didn’t. What we currently coin as a British accent developed in England during the 19th century among the upper class as a symbol of status. Historians often claim that Shakespeare sounds better in an American accent.

Always add in the video that according to linguists, Native southern drawl is a slowed down British.

T’ be or not t’be, y’all.

[sogayitwrites]

Fun fact: Same thing happened with the French accent. French Canadians still have the original French accent from the 15th century.
