Hamlet: Bad news: My uncle locked us out of the castle.
Good news: We didn’t have to wait along for a locksmith.
Bad news: Laertes finds it very concerning that I know how to pick locks and has tried to unlock more of my Tragic Backstory ™. I was too embarrassed to admit that the reason I learned it was because, at thirteen, I figured it was the kind of skill that would impress cute people.
Good news: A cute girl saw me do it.
Bad news: It was Ophelia, and since she’s already seen me fall out of several trees, cry over a fawn that was just too damn small, and knows I can ride a unicycle, She’ll never think I’m cool no matter what I do. It’s too late. She knows.
here have some of my favorite pictures of david tennant as richard ii to make your day better :)
women arent complicated youre just dumb
William Shakespeare invented the whole "prince in love with a commoner" concept that mlm blogs love so much when he wrote Hamlet and it's time we had that conversation
sometimes its just like *street lights reflecting off the wet asphalt at night* maybe life isnt so ugly after all
Laertes, looking at Hamlet: What the fuck is he doing now?
Horatio: ...His best.
Horatio: Hamlet is such a nice person underneath the part that hates everybody!
so I was talking with my brother the other day and I mentioned the new Barbie teaser trailer that came out and it prompted him to pitch me that instead of doing the live action film, what they really should have done is continue to do more of those animated Barbie films except instead of adapting the typical fairy tales, they should have Barbie play classical and historical figures such as Joan of Arc, Helen of Troy, Cleopatra, Medea from Jason and the Argonauts, Mary Antoinette, etc.
and ideally these films should still be PG-rated so that a whole generation of kids will grow up watching these films and then later on in adulthood write posts like ‘TIL that the barbie film i grew up watching was actually based on the story of Joan of Arc.’
who do I call to make this happen because I think my brother is on to something here…
