What can happen when you've had a long, annoying day and now you're reading the textbook for Lit class? You start wondering what the love lives of Shakespeare couples are like.

Start off with the classic,

Romeo and Juliet; Fumbling teenagers. Absolutely no idea what they're doing, but they're happy to be together.

Henry V and Katherine; So sweet and gentle. He's a giver. His first priority is her pleasure.

Petruchio and Kate; Terrible. That self-centred bastard is only chasing his own climax. He probably tells Kate that orgasms are bad for women or something and he's protecting her. (Only valid version of Petruchio is Patrick Verona in 10 Things)

Hermia and Lysander; Vanilla but romantic. A lot of cuddling and making out. The couple that scatters rose petals around and puts on some romantic music first.

Helena and Demetrius; Kinky AF. You name it, they've done it. Bordering on toxic.

Benedick and Beatrice; Energetic. It's like a contest on who can wear the other out first. Still very romantic though, because as much as they're trying to one up each other, they're besotted with each other.

Anyone else have some ideas to add to this? Share or comment your additions.

yall better stop calling Shakespearean English Old English… thats Early Modern English. that English is not old it’s barely stale ???

#i realize this is a real nitpick on my part and honestly i didn’t know this a couple months ago #but old english is like. Old. this is back when we still used the thorn and the eth #Early Modern English —> Shakespeare. Understandable. Some strange word order and thous/thees but mostly ok.#Middle English —> Chaucer. Confusing. You can probably get the gist better if you read aloud but you have to struggle a bit.#Old English —> Beowulf. Different language. You will understand maybe 1 word in 50.#linguistics #home cooked hijinks #queue gotta be kidding me

So you know the scene at the end of The Taming of The Shrew where they have that stupid competition to see whose wife is most obedient? Can you imagine if other Shakespeare characters were there?

Ophelia: You called, My Lord?

Hamlet: No I didn’t. Why are you here when nobody likes you? Go away!

Petruchio: Even I think that’s mean.

Romeo: Go find Juliet and ask her if she would come here and tell her she has the most beautiful eyes, that make the very sun seem dull, and the loveliest hair and a face that puts to shame Aphrodite herself...oh and bring her this sonnet I wrote her...and actually I’ll go find her myself for I can’t bear to be apart from her another moment!

Petruchio: …

Petruchio: … Yeah he’s not coming back. Next!

Coriolanus: Go find my wife and ask her to come here and also ask her if she's seen Aufidius. Actually, have you seen Aufidius...or heard any news of him?

Servant: No I haven't… Is there a name or a description I could use to find your wife?

Coriolanus: Hold on. I know this one.

Petruchio: Wow... We’ll come back to you. Next!

Orlando: I refuse to participate in this farce. It’s demeaning to women.

“Ganymede”: Nonsense! Any real man (which I totally am) wants women to obey him without question!

Orlando: That’s wrong! That’s not being a “real man”; that’s just being a bully. I would never treat Rosalind that way and I hope no one else would either!

“Ganymede”: … You pass the test.

Orlando: What?

"Ganymede": What?

Benedick: HEY BEATRICE!

Beatrice from 3 rooms away: WHAT?

Benedick: CAN YOU COME HERE A SECOND?

Beatrice: WHY?

Benedick: SOME MAN HERE WANTS TO SEE IF YOU’RE OBEDIENT.

Beatrice: WHY ARE YOU PERPETUATING THE OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN INSTEAD OF PUNCHING HIM IN THE FACE?

Benedick: YOU MEAN YOU DON’T WANT TO COME HERE AND SHOW OFF YOUR OBEDIENCE? I AM SHOCKED AND HEARTBROKEN!

Beatrice: HA. HA. SO HILARIOUS.

Beatrice: … HE STILL DOESN’T SOUND VERY PUNCHED IN THE FACE. I SUGGEST YOU FIX THAT UNLESS YOU WANT TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH FOREVER!

Benedick: ON IT!

Benedick *rolling up his sleeves*: Isn’t she great?

#Petruchio: Why are you rolling up your sleeves? You’re not just going to let some woman tell you what to— *gets hit right in the jaw*#Benedick: She is not *punch* “some woman”! *punch* She’s *punch* Beatrice! *punch*#Benedick: WAS THAT ENOUGH DARLING?#Beatrice: YEAH! SOUNDS GOOD #Petruchio to “Ganymede”: YOU'RE a man after my own heart. Will you help me up?#“Ganymede”: I am neither a man nor after any heart but Orlando's. *punches him while he still is trying to work that out*#Coriolanus: We’re fighting? Who are we fighting? Is it Aufidius?#listen. after they get together Beatrice and Benedick are THAT couple and they absolutely make that everyone's problem #humor #Shakespeare #Shakespearean shenanigans #the taming of the shrew #much ado about nothing #hamlet #Coriolanus #As you like it #gen

every friend group has these two people 🤣 tag your friends!! 😆

1. always one minor inconvenience away from killing everyone in the room and then himself

2. rosencrantz.

#guildenstern is so high strung. and that coupled with rosencrantz’s antics is the perfect combination #they are so funny #rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead #ragad #hamlet #shakespeare #kat is typing

killing time (first edition) by della van hise // romeo and juliet, act v scene iii by william shakespeare

#escaping their tragic fate #........#with the power of friendship!#star trek #spirk #killing time #i don't really know why i added the shakespeare #but thus with a kiss i die was going through my head as i read this part #and i think it fits #inspired by someone's post i saw the other day which i'll reblog again now #about the parallels between spirk and fated couples and how they manage to escape the tragic ending

i was recently admiring sokka's acting skills in return to omashu (when katara invents pentapox), so if the modern gaang (and others) were all to be cast in a shakespeare play, which play would it be and who would play who?

okay you really don’t know what you’ve unleashed by asking me this (but thank you for enabling me)

aang would obviously be typecast as ariel or puck, but i also think he’d make a great prince hal, a really lovable horatio, or even angelo (not a reflection on his character, i just think he could pull it off!)

katara would be typecast as beatrice, emilia, rosalind and/or celia, cordelia, viola, ophelia, juliet, etc etc. you get the gist. so she’d probably be typecast as lavinia too, but i think she’d kill it as tamora. maybe even gertrude.

sokka is obviously best suited to any kind of robert armin fool (think lear’s fool, think feste) but i think he’d also kill it as richard iii, he’d bring the necessary humor (and self-loathing) for the role. he’d make a great jacques too. or even a really compelling cassio.

suki would kill as beatrice (opposite sokka’s benedick). she could also definitely pull off a more grounded and sensitive olivia. and even though the play kind of sucks she’d be a great jeanne d’arc. i also think she’d love playing one of the witches.

toph would love to play any crossdressing role, especially rosalind. i could also see her playing a witty fool. she’d kill as the gravedigger, for example. she’d also play a fairy or a rude mechanical, but not a principle one. maybe starveling, or mustardseed, or peter quince.

zuko was born to play edgar fyi. he’d also be a great macbeth. i think he’d make a better laertes than hamlet tbh, but it also depends on how buff he is in the moment (if he’s in his skinny era he could also play hamlet). also richard ii. and he’d be a really good antonio (12n), frankly.

saying azula would be a great lady m is almost laughably obvious. she would be though. and she wouldn’t play goneril, she’d play regan, so THERE. but also she would kill it as edmund if she wasn’t too traditional to refuse it. same goes for iago.

mai could play every single role in hamlet and pull it off flawlessly. also im picturing her and ty lee as rosencrantz and guildenstern, but also in the stoppard (ie, “are dead”). she’d love to play a witch. she’d also be a great banquo.

ty lee could literally play any role she could be desdemona she could be falstaff she could be prospero she is truly that bitch darling she has the range. she’d probably get typecast as fair maidens though because she’s so pretty. alas. she’d kill as lear.

#heartbursted #asks #the gaang and #modern au #synthesis #you should know I really limited myself here to a couple sentences for each #I could go on and on re: some of these choices #so don’t hesistate to ask if you wanna talk abt shakespeare #doesn’t even have to be atla related quite frankly #i will simply talk shakespeare any time any place

Batgirl (2000) #9

“I can be… Mediocre for a lifetime. Or perfect for a year.”

WHY ARE ALL THE BATKIDS SUCH A GODDAMN TRAGEDY

#cassandra cain #batman #batgirl #I am DISTRAUGHT #and the fact that Bruce compared her to Jason a couple issues ago! Shakespeare couldn’t write tragedy like this!

Just had the fun idea of the batfam having water bottles full of lazarus water that they carry around and like, them customizing them. Drawing on the metal in Damian's case, covering them in stickers in both Tim's and Steph's case, weaving a hand warmer for the handle, etc Just each of them having their own thermos of sorts for patrol and missions with the Justice League outside of Gotham.

Check out @phoenixcatch7 , this au is a combination of mine and hers (Possessed Doll Au) and you should go give her love <3

#meat marionette au #batman au #Like imagine someone doing that one meme of asking for some vodka #But instead of vinegar it's 'death water' lol #batman #dc #dcu #cryptid batman #cryptid batfam #Tim definitely has hero stickers covering his bottle #Cass has a line of dancers and flowers along the top of hers #Stephs is covered in layers upon layers of stickers #Dick has several with different puns on them #Bruce has several but his favorite has 'Batdad' written in the barbie font on it lol #Dukes looks like a disco ball he covered it in so much reflective panels #Jason has several with entire Shakespeare plays written in increasingly smaller font the farther down it goes #Barbara has a couple including one with a big eye and 'I know what you did' on it that she always brings out when she has new blackmail #Harper has one with a cartoon bird in a tank #Cullen has one covered in pride flags <3 #Jarros is covered in stars and fish #Kate has one in lesbian flag colors saying she's the reason this family hasn't gotten murdered #to name a few lol #Alfred also has a lot too #batfamily #batfam #batkids #lazarus water #lazarus pit
