merlin is the best tv show ever bc every episode arthur is like “oh that’s my attention seeking whore, merlin. what is it now, dumbass?” meanwhile the merlin and morgana subplot:
omgg tag me when it's out✨
klance can be so toxic, they can be SOOO TOXIC and it's so delicious bc their insecurities are exactly equal and Opposite, they want to be each other sooo bad, the other's very existence is like a persistent thumb digging into a bruise if not an Open Wound, there is so much space for resentment, SO MUCH space for resentment and miscommunication and emotional stuntedness and misunderstandings . . . klance nation serve this up please 🙏🙏🙏

How DIDN'T he already know. (He already knew)
Okay, I finally saw Hamlet performed live yesterday, and let me tell you some of the production choices were *chef's kiss*
King's ghost wore a crown, but upside down,
There was an open grave on the stage the entire play, that leads to to a trapdoor stage exit. Hamlet exited the stage by falling into it no less then 5 times
Everybody was dressed in modern clothes and Hamlet wore a jacket, but as my friends cleverly pointed out to me, he only wears it when he "performs" the role of the prince. When he's alone or with Horatio, he dons it off
Speaking of Horatio, he was kinda just there for a lot of the play? He lurked in backgrounds of a lot of scenes. (Or in foregrounds. In the beginning scene with Claudius and the queen he just sat on the chair at the front of the stage and ate lunch)
When Rosencrantz and Guildenstern arrived, Hamlet has only done the jacket half way, and shook their hands with his one arm that is in the jacket
When Rosencrantz told Hamlet the actors have came with them, Hamlet's demeanor changed from snarky to completely overjoyed and he kissed him on the mouth for a full minute
When the actors for the play in the play were supposed to arrive, 20th century fox music started playing
Hamlet forces Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to pinky swear
When Ophelia was returning Hamlet's letters, she also returned a vinyl that he gave her, that he later breaks into pieces in front of her
When Polonius talks about how he used to act, he demonstrates his 'acting skills' by re-playing his death as Caesar, immensely overplaying it. Contrastingly, his own death an act later is quick and lacking fanfare. He simply utters "He killed me" and falls to the ground dead, making it his probably shortest set of lines he had in the play.
During the meta-play, a wedding cake is brought onto the stage, that the actors in the meta play use as a prop. Once the cake was discarded aside, Claudius sneakily stole a bite from it.
Claudius spat on old king's grave after his attempt at prayer
In the scene in Gertrude's chambers, Hamlet arrived shirtless and he had letters written across his torso that spelled S Y N (meaning "son" in my language, but the middle y had a dot over it, allowing it to be read as "sin" in a sort of double-language wordplay)
Also, Ophelia switched languages when she was singing her last song
The stage got progressively messier and messier with each act (mostly by the dirt from the grave)
The first gravedigger put on one hell of a singing performance
Hamlet took Yorick's skull and put it on a chair at the from on the stage, watching the audience until the very end
And the choice that rendered me speechless, that is, turning the lights completely off after "There's only silence" and have that be the last words of the play.
i’m always like “i can’t wait to feel good and confident and grow into the best, healthiest version of me!!!!!” while doing horrible acts of self sabotage like girl it doesn’t work like that u are pressing the gas and break at the same time stop it
reading romance books to fill the lack of romance in my life
verisimilous on ao3 ➳ they call me the CDC the way i run the Collaborative Delulu Center
