Love me or hate me, both are in my favour… If you love me, I’ll always be in your heart … If you hate me, I’ll always be in your mind.

"Dilencidir ancak servetini sayanlar." William Shakespeare

"Perché ti ho giurata bella

e ti ho pensata luminosa,

tu che sei nera come l'inferno,

buia come la notte."

William Shakespeare.

“how many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger?”

— 𝘝𝘪𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘧

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

William Shakespeare

Normalise liking poetry because you like the way it sounds and art because you think its beautiful. You don’t have to understand the deeper meaning of something to appreciate it - poetry is bloody difficult to analyse and art requires an extensive knowledge of movements and artists to properly get - so please just wonder around art galleries and decide which pieces you’d buy if you could, and read out lines of poetry simply because they have a nice ring to them.

Benvolio and Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet (2021) dir. Simon Godwin

Tom Hiddleston is retiring from acting and he came to my university to lecture about Shakespeare. I jumped out of my window (I live on the fifth floor) to run to university to catch his lecture. There were zombies on the way so I Ramboed my way through them. I arrived to uni just as Tom revealed himself to be Loki and that he was also Shakespeare's real life muse.

"Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell."

-William Shakespeare

"Her clothes spread wide;

And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:

Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;

As one incapable of her own distress,

Or like a creature native and indued

Unto that element: but long it could not be

Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,

Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay

To muddy death.”

William Shakespeare

Hamlet, Act IV, Scene VII

"The Death of Ophelia" by Sarah Bernhardt 1880.

(credits to Twitter)

the problem with hamlet is he’s always played by a 35 year old dude and im like. in the first place why are you not already the king, get it together. and when a 35 year old makes fun of people he’s just a dick. he’s not funny he’s just annoying. like shut the fuck up and just kill your uncle like a goddamn grown up.

but 15 year old hamlet? when a 15 year old is being snarky and annoying? thats just how teenagers are. a 15 year old panicking about commiting actual murder? okay, yeah, you’re allowed to panic about this for a while. fair enough. 15 year old hamlet is actually a tragedy rather than the saga of a mid-life crisis.

nobody under thirty has played hamlet in a major film adaptation according to wikipedia and its a goddamn travesty.
