is it girl fell first but the boy fell harder situation? for juile/luke.

I always believed that Luke fell first, fell even harder, hit rock bottom in his love for her (in the span of like... 48 hours lol) and then Julie started liking him.

Like, this man probably lost his mind during the Bright performance. He stayed totally cool when he realised he could be seen by the audience, but he sent goo goo eyes to Julie like a smitten boy

examine! - first ever spell tome c:

Tiny hands grasp a leather-bound book with strange markings and an old smell. The pages are worn and dirty in some places, there's blood, and as she opens it up, there's a strange photo of her father with a lady and a man who look like friends of his, but in a different place.

#ask ophelia #thank you <3 #ophe getting her dad's tome haha

You know if Han can appear as a force ghost, then padme can appear as a force ghost, Luke needs a hug

PADME SHOULD ABSOLUTELY APPEAR AS A FORCE GHOST HEAR ME OUT HERE. okay first of all because #feminism SECOND OF ALL she was literally pregnant with TWO whole eldritch skywalkers before she died. that should TOTALLY give her enough force to show up as a ghost. anyway here's this bc lucasfilm r cowards and i'm not

#i don give a shit they appear in what they died in not what they were buried in!!! im a classics student i have 2 stick to classics rules #also i need padme 2 b serving that ophelia realness as she haunts ppl and visits her kids #thanks for the ask! #padmé amidala #padme amidala #star wars #my doods #force ghosts

Looking beyond the traditional interpretation of Ophelia’s Death:

Okay, @wokecola !

So, I wasn’t sure how to answer this at first because Ophelia has been analyzed so much, I wasn’t sure I had anything to break down that you wouldn’t be able to read somewhere else. But then! I was reading an article about the parallels between Anna Karenina and Ophelia (as they are similar characters - I will link the article), and this article opened my eyes to something I have never realized before in all the times I’ve read the play.

Shakespeare never explicitly tells us that Ophelia killed herself.

I’m sometimes guilty of accepting traditional interpretations at face value, but I was so fascinated by this point, I immediately changed my perspective on the character!

I always find Ophelia to be kind of a weak spot in the masterpiece that is Hamlet. She’s so, so strong in the first couple of acts. I dearly love her first scene with Laertes, and in many versions, her non-verbal blocking with Hamlet can make their relationship quite compelling. However, post-Polonius’s death, I struggle to connect with her grief. The best Ophelia I’ve seen is probably Jessica Brown Findlay in Andrew Scott’s production, but even the best Ophelia can’t overcome the stilted, awkward flowers scene, and the difficulty of singing madly on stage. The Public’s 2023 production’s choice to make Ophelia a singer throughout the play somewhat successfully mitigated this awkwardness, but… not entirely. This is just my opinion. But I’m always a bit taken out of the action when I hear Ophelia start to repeat ‘goodnight.’

All to say, Ophelia is an interesting case. Whereas Hamlet and Lear’s madness on stage, for example, both seem entirely natural, Ophelia’s… doesn’t. To me, at least.

But suspend your disbelief for a minute, and let me present an alternate theory.

What we know:

In act four, scene seven, Gertrude tells us that, Ophelia was making heartlands of flowers and stringing then around the trees when she “fell into the weeping brook” and continued singing in an unnatural way until her clothes got too heavy with water and pulled her “to muddy death.”

(I am obviously paraphrasing.)

But at no point does Gertrude state that Ophelia’s death was a suicide. It’s the gravediggers who suggest this, and in fact, I would argue that the grave digging scene weighs against the probability that it was a suicide, because the gravediggers specifically comment on how odd it is that she is allowed a Christian burial after taking her own life. They speculate on how else it could’ve happened.

So, if Ophelia didn’t kill herself, was it just an accident?

Well, let’s take this one step further.

I want to direct your attention to Act one, scene four, when Hamlet is pursuing his father’s ghost.

At this point, Horatio says, “What if it tempts you toward the flood, my lord? / Or to the dreadful summit of the cliff / that beetles o’er his base into the sea, / and there assume some other horrible form / which might deprive you your sovereignty of reason / and draw you into madness? Think of it.”

Okay. So. Do you see where I’m going with this?

Horatio is afraid that the ghost of Hamlet’s father will lure him into a body of water and drown him, or drive him to madness.

And what exactly happened to Ophelia again…?

Obviously this isn’t a watertight (heh) argument/analysis, but I think it’s fascinating!

Shakespeare, as we know, does everything for a reason. And Horatio’s fear is… specific. It’s very specific. Maybe he had knowledge of something like this happening before. Hell, maybe the ghost heard him and took inspiration.

My primary assertion here is that a ghost may have indirectly killed Ophelia. It may have even been the ghost of Hamlet’s father.

Additionally, Hamlet and Ophelia are, in a way, foils. When Hamlet’s father dies, he takes it out on others. When Ophelia’s father dies, she internalizes the pain and takes it out on no one but herself. Is it possible that she saw a ghost too? Is it possible that Hamlet Sr. wanted her dead?

I mean, we don’t know about Hamlet and Ophelia’s relationship before the play. Maybe Hamlet’s dad kept them apart. Maybe he didn’t approve of her.

We just don’t know.

The idea, to me, that Ophelia may have been tormented in the exact same way Hamlet was, is mind boggling and transformative.

I also love the idea that she didn’t kill herself!!

What do you think? Let’s have a discussion!

(Gallant-gained) Bed

Ophelia smiled gently, having woken up after a fantastic night. Siegbert was still asleep at her side, making the teenager smile as she snuggled back in. Later she would wish him good morning, but for now, she just wanted to enjoy the warm glow of the morning sun, the softness of the furr blanket, and the warmth he also provided.

i am not posting the whole thing bc it sounds absolutely ridiculous in aggregate but i DID locate this death note/hamlet au i wrote absolutely ages ago with the dialogue in elizabethan english so i am sharing the good part(tm) now. ft. light as hamlet and L as ophelia, who is now a paramour sent to the prince as a gift

L knelt in front of Light. For a moment Light thought he was about to bow, but he did not; instead he lifted Light’s hand and raised his knuckles to his lips. Gently, he kissed them. “If my liege can trust my vulgar tongue,” he said, “my duke wants your favour. I myself do not. I want your hand.” He kissed it again, then rose on his knees, leaning towards Light, the heat of him close. He smelled somehow of metal and earth. He must have been looking through the garden for evidence of Light’s father’s killer; Light had asked him not to — he was already certain of who that was — but that meant very little to L. He traced a finger down Light’s arm. Light shivered, and did not pull away. “And your arms.” He touched Light’s throat, which quivered. “And your throat. And the nape of your neck.” A touch. “And your foolish hair.” He brushed it away from Lights cheek. “And your lips, which are no more honest than mine own.” He ran the back of his finger along Light’s lips.

#this re: L was a real thing i did not make it up #for various reasons they didn't care deeply about whether or not the relationship was homosexual. see: king james #the part that makes it sound stupid is primarily that light is using the thou/thy form and L is using you/your #which is correct bc thou is informal & light is a prince #but unfortunately it just sounds weird and stupid #why did you do this re: ophelia u may ask #bc i split ophelia into two parts #L as love; misa as political aspirations #this would make sense if i finished it. i promise. but i won't. #i also COULD NOT figure out if grammatically this should be 'my own' or 'mine own.'
