oh my god. if the “your hearing is the last sense to go out before death” thing is true then that means that there’s a chance the last thing hamlet heard was “goodnight, sweet prince,” from horatio and then his hearing went out probably

If I had a penny for every time a bisexual prince died homoerotically in the arms of his faithful gay lover, saying their last words to them, and the lover wailing over their beloved's death in pure agony as everyone around them is dead, I'd have two pennies. Which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.

more things from my production of hamlet that permanently altered my brain chemistry
getting to pick out my own costume, wearing an old peacoat that i eventually took with me to college
all of the tiny details of my costume that nobody but myself noticed
horatio wearing a tiny heart locket because of the whole “heart’s core” thing
horatio fiddling with the necklace while watching the play within a play, while watching the fencing match
our director cut the script to create a deeper relationship between horatio and gertrude while hamlet is away getting captured by pirates
the letter scene
hamlet and horatio reading hamlet’s letter in sync, except hamlet reads “horatio” alone in the beginning and horatio reading “hamlet” alone at the end of the letter
horatio going straight from the letter scene into a conversation with gertrude about ophelia’s health
horatio being in ophelia’s mad scenes, watching her break down and cry, assisting with her wheelchair
gertrude relying on horatio for the truth about hamlet’s whereabouts
horatio staying with gertrude as she dies, then attending to laertes, then finally, to hamlet
our director remind our hamlet to “die center!!!”
hearing the bows music for the first time (the other side by david gray)
wittenberg crew making each other friendship bracelets (r&g had matching “rosie” and “guildy” bracelets, ho&ham had bracelets that read “good night” and “sweet prince” respectively)
making myself a bracelet that said “L + horatio”
THE GRAVEDIGGER SCENE
wearing my peacoat in the final scene, then tearing it off to give to laertes as he’s dying
hamlet holding claudius’ head, forcing him to drink the poison, then finishing him off with a small little nick to the ear, giving claudius a taste of his own medicine
ophelia having one fleeting moment of clarity when she sees laertes, running to hug him
polonia taking an awkward family photo with her kids, chastising them for not smiling enough
(accidentally photobombing those photos during rehearsals)
i mentioned yorick hot potato in the last post, but i didn’t mention that i pulled out a bottle of hand sanitizer after tossing the skull away
the lighting, the set
having to carefully fumble my way offstage once the lights went down, the three times i almost tripped over a foil
and the one time where i actually did
after that they put glow tape on the stage
our set designer crafted an entirely original crest for the hamlet family, using nordic, danish, and even some tolkien characters for inspiration
seeing the set for the first time
our first time staging the death scene
there’s a photo of me in my lil spot by hamlet, surrounded by dead bodies and bathed in red light just kinda going like 😁👍👍
crushing the other teams at shakespeare trivia during our closing night cast party

Alright, I made the quiz; I made it in a semi-lazy way so you just get to find out what character I think you are in an, of course, in an amazingly scientific way, but that's really all it is. It's also just the "younger generation", so - Hamlet, Horatio, Ophelia, Rosencrantz, Guildenstern, Laertes and Fortinbras.
Anyway, enjoy!

the fact that hamlet was pondering to be or not to be and he never got to decide for himself because his mistakes caught up to him so he begged horatio to be…

watching horatio, the sensible—NOT PASSION’S SLAVE—lose all sensibility as he picks up the cup of poison, knowing suicide will eternally condemn him to hell.
horatio would rather be banished to hell forever than live on earth after hamlet's death.

i want you all to know that for my COLLEGE FINAL PAPER FOR MY DRAMA THEATER AND THEORY CLASS i wrote a seven (7) page paper on hamlet, and 3 (three) of those seven pages were dedicated to a queer interpretation of hamlet and what you gain from reading hamlet and horatio as gay and in love

Horatio bringing a whole stack of books about ghosts to back up his having seen Hamlet’s dead dad ft. what I think is probably the most regretted sentence in all of Hamlet

If Horatio died before Hamlet
Would he still grieve or become like Achilles?
