#to be or not to be

[tsukiyadori]

Trying to look into a Chinese Webtoon be like...

So there is this one webtoon I read on Comikey (called To Be or Not to Be there, elsewhere a.k.a. How to Survive as a Villain a.k.a. This Villain Emperor's Gotta Charm the Male Lead to Survive!) that I kind of quite liked, but the translation is very, well, webtoon-level, and so I got curious as to how it looked in its original version. Bilibili has the first 20 chapters for free, too, and before the first chapter or even before the chapter 0 teaser there's a little summary with character bios (Chapter 1 人物私密档案公布！).

Which has, well, a picture, and a few character stats like height, personality and such. And there's also 性取向, "sexual orientation".

And there it says:

Xiao YuAn (before being isekai'd):

= Sexual orientation: Unknown (which tracks, it's both unknown and if you ask me, he just comes off as downright aroace, even more so in the novel.)

Xiao YuAn (after being isekai'd):

= Sexual orientation:

Yan HeQin

= Sexual orientation:

And I'm just like, what is this glorious trolling? 😂

I present to you, my Hamlet inspired still life painting, done on canvas. I‘m by all means no great artist, but I‘m still proud with how it came out. It was tons of fun hiding little references ;)

In the play Fat Ham, Juicy, a young queer black man, is confronted by the ghost of his father during a barbecue, who demands that Juicy avenge his murder. Juicy, already familiar with Hamlet's plight, tries to break the cycles of trauma and violence.

literally the best play i've ever seen in my life and yes that includes shakespeare's. won a pulitzer prize. a celebration of black queer love.

Hamlet as told by Hamlet, Ophelia, or the original King Hamlet…but you choose how it goes. You can play it completely straight, or have it involve a deadly game of chess, time travel, a rap battle against a gravedigger, and also tricking Claudius into confessing his deeds with a whole separate choose-your-own-adventure book.

This book is hilarious. You can stay on the rails, and have the author question your choices, planning ability, and weirdly misogynistic worldview, step off them and have fun with how simple it would be to just avert the tragedy. Or just go completely off the rails and befriend a dinosaur, save yourself with a time loop, become a pirate king, conquer Denmark with a ghost army, start a race around the world, kill literally every character in Hamlet, become an inventor, and so on.

One of favorite parts of English class was learning and reciting Shakespare’s Hamlet “To be or not to be” soliloquy. I just love how Shakespeare made Hamlet so Emo.

“To be, or not to be, 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 opposing end them. To die—to sleep,

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;

To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,

Must give us pause—there's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,

Th'oppressor's 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 th'unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the dread of something after death,

The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn

No traveller returns, puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have

Than fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all,

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,

And enterprises of great pith and moment

With this regard their currents turn awry

And lose the name of action.”

- Hamlet from William Shakespare’s Hamlet. Sourced from the Poetry Foundation.
