Shakespeare Tourney, Round 1

(summaries from shakespeare.org.uk; further summaries and propaganda encouraged)

Romeo and Juliet: The classic story of boy meets girl; girl's family hates boy's family; boy's family hates girl's family; boy kills girl's cousin; boy and girl kill themselves.

Much Ado: Benedick and Beatrice don't love each other but then they do. Claudio and Hero love each other but then they don't but then they do again. Everyone gets married.

Happy Birthday, Shakespeare!

400-someodd years ago our favorite bloody, brilliant Bill was born. Let's celebrate... with a bracket.

Yes, it's been done before; no, we don't care. Propaganda encouraged. Fight dirty if you have to. There will be a loser's bracket as well, but be warned - some of these choices are tough!

Speaking of...

(summaries from Shakespeare.org.uk)

Hamlet: Hamlet sees his dead dad's ghost, pretends to go crazy with revenge, actually goes crazy with revenge (debatable), and everyone dies.

A Midsummer Night's Dream: People get lost in the woods. Puck manipulates their romantic affections and (in one case) anatomical head-shape. They put on a play.

#why in the fuck would you pit these two absolute BANGERS against each other right out of the gate #anyway midsummer is wildly fun and probably my favorite of the comedies. but. #to paraphrase another tag from the notes. reading hamlet for the first time as a mentally ill 17yo really does just hit different #shakespeare #polls

Yet another selection of some of the better names I've come across in Regency era newspapers recently.

I got the chance to road trip out to the path of totality! My phone camera didn’t do it justice, so I painted what I saw instead 🌞🌚

Here’s the photo I took and the sketch I made with my finger in the notes app while watching it happen 😆

the Cazadores from Fallout: New Vegas vs. Cazador from BG3 is a fight I would pay so much money to see

#I haven't even gotten to him in bg3 but #yeah #new vegas cazadores do NOT fuck around

[ratmonologue]

am I into 'rope and rigging'?🤨 uh yeah I guess you could say so

"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way

#the first one especially

[ratmonologue]

Had a debate with a friend and now I gotta know

please reblog for larger sample size, my friend bet me no one would say Gimli and I wanna prove her wrong

#aragorn. obviously. honorable mention to merry #other honorable mention to boromir but that one took longer to mature #polls

My toxic trait is that I judge people by their top three Shakespeare plays - just like folks who are into the horoscope judge you based on your sun, moon and rising signs.

Btw mine are Macbeth, Richard II and The Tempest

#hamlet and richard iii top two for sure #macbeth midsummer and coriolanus currently duking it out for third place #SO curious what this apparently says about me bc I also judge people for their faves but I can't quite articulate the how #shakespeare

[ratmonologue]

look i don't know either guys

#dumb take clippy #switching people off and shitty politician hunger games are v tempting but I would become an actual world-altering supervillain #clippy giving idiots a reality check has no downsides #polls

Sorry if it’s a little cramped- had to make this all fit in ten photos (I normally post to Imgur and have loads of room) . Hope you guys like it….. and again…. sorry Andrew

Follow me on Webtoons

WOW I CANT BELIEVE HOW MANY PEOPLE LOVE THIS- thank you so much it really means a lot to me. I don’t have a lot of faith in my own comics because I’m always nervous about my dyslexia and the fact I draw these with pencil before uploading to paint- so this support really means a lot to me.
