This is the first in a series of chibi Mynes which I have about seven or so of, each with Myne as a different character or in a different universe which I thought the pose fit the best/whatever I felt like drawing. This one is of course Hamlet, evident by the-
"To read or not to read, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by escapism end them? To read, and by this reading seek out the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to, (but artificially in that same measure) tis a consummation devoutly to be wished! To read, perchance to skim, aye there's the rub, for in that lapse of focus what things we may miss when we have shuffled off our concentration, must give us pause. There's the respect that makes calamity of reading abstinence, for who would bear the whips and scorns of time, the oppressors wrong, the proud man's contumely, the pangs of dispriz'd love, the law’s delay, the insolence of office and the spurns that patient merit of the unworthy takes when he might his own peace find in a well written novel?-
I know the punctuation isn’t amazing since I wrote most of that from memory, (it’s a great tool in your ‘stave off boredom’ inventory to be able to quote shakespeare at people, though I think my siblings are a bit sick of it by now, not that that’ll ever stop me, BWAHAHAHAH) Basically, I like hamlet. Or specifically that one speech. I know the subject matter isn’t really light hearted, but I’ve always pictured him as kind of a drama queen- I digress.
If you read all that, Congratulations! That’s it!
:D
