#it's the quintecencial finding a bit of queer subtext of wondering if that person is like you

[just-an-enby-lemon]

Nothing will be more hilarious to me than the party's - specially Ben's - outrage about Alex's sneaky reference to William Shakespeare slowly fading as they remember that half of the NPCs are actually historical figures. Like they are genuinally going "what's this assassin's creed? You put Shakespeare in the gift Augusta Leight gave to our honorary party member Oscar Wilde while waiting for Ada Lovelace and Nikola Tesla to see if we can talk to the brain of Charles Babbage about the mission Albert Einstein teleported us to? Shakespeare a whole historical person? "

#on a very different note wilde getting shakespeare cloack gives me a lot of joy #because i always loved wilde's essay about shakespeare loving another man #how he defends that even if it isn't true it is important that it is because it means something #it's the quintecencial finding a bit of queer subtext of wondering if that person is like you #is the reason we wear pins and tattos and green carnations #is the power of representativity of not feeling alone is why historical queers matter #and Wilde definitivaly became for a generation of young queers specially gay man what Shakespeare was for him #i don't think alex considered any of that at all #it was 100% just haha shakespeare was THE Bard haha #but it still matters to me #rqg #rusty quill gaming
