also WHAT is going on with their you/thous here. both of them start out with "you" (which could be derogatory but is probably, because they're on the same social level, more of a formality thing/resisting intimacy). but benedick slips into the intimate loving thou and BEATRICE DOESN'T! SHE KEEPS SAYING YOU! and before she even SAYS you, benedick GOES BACK TO YOU after she resists him the first time. are they fucking okay (no)

[eighttwotwopointthreethree]

much ado about nothing is so great because benedick and beatrice spend the whole first half bringing the other one up out of nowhere when nobody asked and then immediately going

people complain about the top shortage but the REAL problem is that no one fw tops who can't host...we need a paradigm shift. bottoms need to start making money and acquiring a trophy top to keep on retainer *realizes this is really close to knighthood and i get so horny that my kneecaps explode* oughh

"Director Phoebe Kemp said in a statement: “Twelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us. This reading is about joy, solidarity and showing what’s possible when trans and nonbinary artists are at the centre of the story.”"

"Severance" (2022 - ) x "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" (1990)

full quote from the movie (had to abridge it in the comic to keep the wall-of-text factor and page count within reasonable limits):

Rosencrantz: Did you ever think of yourself as actually dead, lying in a box with a lid on it?

Guildenstern: No.

Rosencrantz: Nor do I, really. It's silly to be depressed by it. I mean, one thinks of it like being alive in a box. One keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead, which should make all the difference, shouldn't it? I mean, you'd never *know* you were in a box, would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I'd like to sleep in a box, mind you. Not without any air. You'd wake up dead for a start, and then where would you be? In a box. That's the bit I don't like, frankly. That's why I don't think of it. Because you'd be helpless, wouldn't you? Stuffed in a box like that. I mean, you'd be in there forever, even taking into account the fact that you're dead. It isn't a pleasant thought. Especially if you're dead, really. Ask yourself, if I asked you straight off, "I'm going to stuff you in this box. Now, would you rather be alive or dead?" naturally, you'd prefer to be alive. Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well, at least I'm not dead. In a minute somebody is going to bang on the lid, and tell me to come out."

[bangs on lid]

Rosencrantz: "Hey you! What's your name? Come out of there!"

Guildenstern: [long pause] I think I'm going to kill you.

yeah Romeo and Juliet suuucks they should’ve both survived at the end and lived happily ever after instead. but of course the writer kills them both off for shock value.
