Hello this is inspired by me misreading a Tumblr post could you make an edit where nurse chapel is replaced with chappell roan

or alternatively just

[pieniebootekent]

Reblog if you write fan fiction

Doesn’t matter if you write in a frequent basis, or once in a blue moon, just how many of us are there?

[pieniebootekent]

Yeah

[pieniebootekent]

what if you staged a r&j where the audience had two entrances to get to their seats, one marked capulet & one montague and you had to choose one to enter the theatre?? it would be really obvious too like balloons, some of the actors in the house colours cheering by the door, etc, like make it a Big Deal to pick one

so then during the first scene the fight is really drawn out and hyped up and the audience is encouraged to cheer for their house and they’d get really into it like, at a basketball game or whatever. ben and tybs get grand entrances like star players on sports teams. make it seem fun and loud and exciting like a sports event, that kind of hype

and then the prince’s lines “Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word/ By thee, old Capulet, and Montague…” could be aimed at the audience (as well as Lord M and Cap) who’d then feel like they were part of the whole feud like “dang i just heard the prologue and know what all this fighting leads to and yet here i am cheering along with everyone???” (((((i’m in the cabinet i am complicit))))

anyway i feel like it would help highlight how caught up everyone is in the feud, they don’t even know what started it anymore, it’s just mindless hate and the cause of the whole tragedy

and also just how much r&j were going up against like heck they were so brave to reject all of that hate and anger they were so good and so in love

Thank you for the tag!! :D

Roméo et Juliette remains a thriving obsession!! But I'm also rewatching Star Trek TNG with my parents and watching Killing Eve with one of my friends and those are very much in my brain too >:)

Tagging (with no pressure as always): @kittycattscathy @coffeefromvoid @hydr0generati0n @rosalinecapulet @pr3ston @halo-exe @hamletkin @gestippeldedieseltreinworm @happilyhadesbound @toddandersonsblog

@tessabennet tagged me to share a current obsession and to do this picrew here -- thank you!!

Reread the Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater a couple of days ago (in preparation for the graphic novel's release) and today I finished her new novel the Listeners, so I have been thinking a lot about her specific writing style, and also my favorite boy Gansey ;)

I'll tag anyone who sees this, and also @allofthebeanz @estrellami-1 @piedoesnotequalpi @blurglesmurfklaine @wewringmagicfromtheordinary @bohemian-rhapsody-in-blue @partofthefandom and @signals-over-the-air <3

Yes it is the same story!!

Maybe we should hop into it, I am very eager to try those berries which taste like Klingon blood wine

Sometimes I remember the scenario we made where we fangirled too hard and the universe collapsed and then we made a new universe

Oh my gosh, yes, I remember that too! That was a while ago—good times, good times.…Was that the same story where we created Ayam and Aniluap?

Maybe we should check up on that fangirl universe, or maybe just hop into it and never come back—it would make a nice escape from our current universe, after all…

This one goes out to that $300 shiny bubble mew card i'll never have

Would you rather be stuck as roommates with Hamlet or Romeo during exam week?

Consider: Romeo would be out of the room more, but he might sexile you. Hamlet would never shut up but might help you write a philosophy or psychology paper.

Both are equally likely to randomly kill someone and get expelled but sneak back in to the dorm anyway.

Ok time for thoughts on the local outdoor production of romeo and juliet that I saw last night

[the stage]

- The costumes looked inspired by the ‘68 movie, and they were GORGEOUS

- Romeo and Benvolio were both played by women

- Abraham and his buddy were actual colliers, and Sampson and Gregory weren’t actually armed and were just transporting goods, so none of them fought with actual weapons which added to just how ridiculous that scene is

- Tybalt entered before Benvolio and just kind of stood and watched until Benvolio drew his sword, then pounced

- Benvolio was hot and also the best Benvolio I’ve ever seen

- Tybalt never fought defensively and Benvolio never fought offensively. Tybalt also just chased Benvolio around at one point

- Benvolio got hurt during the fight because he grabbed the blade of Tybalt’s sword with his bare hand and Tybalt pulled it out of his grasp

- There was no Lady Montague, which I think makes the conversation surrounding Romeo’s relationship with masculinity and the few times he feels ashamed/is made to feel ashamed of his femininity, very interesting

- Lord Montague helped Benvolio bandage his hand after watching him struggle for a moment, and it felt like this was a rare moment of affection between them

- THE most melodramatic Romeo I’ve ever seen, he was wailing and sighing and yelling. He knew it was too much and he knew he looked silly, but he didn’t care because this was just how he had to express his emotions

- When the servant was left alone onstage to find someone who could read, Romeo came down the stairs through the audience, arguing with Benvolio, and immediately flopped onto his back on the platform

- He also SCREAMED “not mad, but bound tighter than a madman…,” like he SCREAMED it

- When Romeo was being evasive about whether or not he could read, the servant got fed with him and went over to Benvolio and was like, “can you read?” and Benvolio went, “yeah, give it to me,” which offended Romeo so much he sat up and finally decided to be helpful

- The actual letter-reading was SO funny. Romeo would read one name, then the servant would repeat it, except he would start at the first name every time to make sure he had all the names, and everyone cheered when he was able to get through all the names. Romeo also said, “oh my god, Rosaline!!,” so of course that’s what the servant said, too

- Benvolio made heart-hands when Mercutio’s name was said, it was adorable

- Juliet entered holding a stuffed animal bunny that she hastily threw to the Nurse when she saw her mother

- THE perfect Juliet. No notes

- The chemistry between Juliet and the Nurse was palpable. It was the perfect balance of mother-daughter and lifelong best friends, and they were cery physically affectionate with each other, and the Nurse made Juliet giggle a lot

- Mercutio—and ONLY Mercutio—had a codpiece. And it was massive. And decorated

- Benvolio joined in when Mercutio was fucking with Romeo

- Mercutio played the panic attack part of Queen Mab in a way I’ve never seen before. He was clearly in distress, but he was trying to hiked it behind bigger and more garish movement (ex. he got on his knees and prayed during “and swears a prayer or two,” and then seemed to realize he had let too much of his fear slip through, and tried to cover it up by jumping the ground during “this is the hag….” Romeo and Benvolio were super freaked out and had to physically restrain him at the end

- Romeo’s bit after that is what got me, though. He was so earnest and somber, and we REALLY saw just how little he cares about his own life. This Romeo was NOT in a good headspace, and Benvolio and Mercutio didn’t even realize it until he started talking about his “despiséd life”

- Everyone’s masks looked like suns, but they were all different

- The music and choreo during the masque was SO fun. It started off with the orchestra, then switched to a handful of modern songs (I remember the second(?) one being wobble and another one being sweet Caroline, which everyone onstage was adamantly against)

- Lord Capulet slapped Tybalt and he fell to the ground, which halted the entire party for a few seconds

- Romeo did an awkward, silly little dance to Juliet, and she did a different, awkward, silly little dance back, it was so cute and so middle school dance

- Romeo got down on his knees when he said “Give me my sin again”

- Mercutio went, “I conjure thee by—what’s her name [Benvolio answered]—Rosaline’s…,” and mapped out everything he was describing using Benvolio’s body, which Benvolio only half protested. When he described her “scarlet lip,” he leaned in and almost kissed Benvolio, who looked all sad when Mercutio faked him out

- The balcony scene really showed just how little the teen characters are allowed to act like kids, because Romeo and Juliet were able to finally be silly and in love and giggly when they were alone together. It was so sweet and so beautiful and so perfect, but also so heartbreaking. I have nothing of note to say about this scene, it was so perfect I don’t think any words could do it justice

- The Friar was very good at lulling the audience into thinking he only had good intentions, throughout the entire show but especially with his first scene. If you didn’t know he was a personified criticism of the Church, you’d leave the play thinking he only had good intentions

- Romeo came skipping onstage, calling the Friar’s name in a singsong voice

- Benvolio was holding the letter from Tybalt and read it to himself, but didn’t show it to Mercutio

- Romeo and Mercutio’s little sex joke back-and-forth game ended with both of them lying on top of Benvolio and laughing, who was yelling at them to get off through his own laughter

- When Mercutio was fucking with the Nurse, he laid on his back and stuck his head under her skirt

- When Juliet was talking about how slow old people are, she said it directly to an old person in the front row, then apologized-but-not-really

- Juliet got so impatient with the Nurse that, at one point, she collapsed back onto the platform, spread-eagled. She was so endearing during this scene I loved her

- The Nurse gave her an orangey-pink veil to match her dress

- Before they followed the Friar into the church, Juliet cut Romeo off while he was talking by grabbing his face and kissing him

- When Mercutio and Tybalt were threatening each other, Tybalt snapped at the air in front of Mercutio’s face

- Tybalt spat at Romeo’s feet when he told him he hated him

- During the sword fight, Mercutio kissed Tybalt on the cheek

- Romeo didn’t his own weapon during this scene, so he just tried to throw his body between Mercutio and Tybalt, which distracted Mercutio long enough for Tybalt to stab him

- Tybalt kept looking between his sword and Mercutio while he processed what he had just done, then ran off in fear

- Romeo and Benvolio didn’t realize how serious Mercutio’s injury was and just thought he was joking until he lifted up his hand to reveal just SO much blood

- Benvolio was holding him while he was dying and SOBBING

- When he came back onstage to tell Romeo Mercutio was dead, he was covered in his blood

- He sounded angrier than he had been this whole time when Tybalt came back

- Romeo slammed Tybalt’s head into the fountain before he stabbed him—again, SO much blood

- Lady Capulet spent the whole rest of that scene knelt by Tybalt’s body

- Benvolio looked like he wanted to rush to Lord Montague for reassurance, but he couldn’t

-Benvolio delivered his final monologue with shaky control, struggling to maintain the composure the meter demanded of him and breaking when he described what happened to Mercutio. When he said, “This is the truth, or let Benvolio die,” he pointed his dagger to his chest and didn’t move it until the Prince was done talking, just sank to his knees and cried desperately. He was the last to leave the stage before intermission, and dropped his dagger, sheath, and belt, and the bandage from his fight with Tybalt to the ground and left them there, and never appeared onstage again

- The Nurse’s processing of Tybalt’s death was so raw and real. She told Juliet to marry Paris with an emotionless sort of detachment, and something about her performance here felt haunting

- Romeo tried to stab himself not with his own dagger, but with the knife the Friar had used to cut the flowers

- The morning-after scene took place on the balcony, and Juliet jumped on Romeo’s back, and at another point during the scene, he picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. This scene was so sweet and so heartbreaking, and their last kiss lasted longer than any of the others

- Lord Capulet threw Juliet to the ground and hit her, then did the same to the Nurse. When Lady Capulet pulled him away, Juliet and the Nurse just held each other on the ground, the Nurse positioned to shield Juliet from her father

- Paris kissed Juliet on the forehead instead of the lips when she tried to duck out of his grasp. He wasn’t clueless, but he wasn’t played as a creep, either. He felt very genuine, his motives were just in the wrong places

- Juliet threatened to stab herself with the same blade Romeo threatened to stab HIMSELF with

- Her potion monologue was so amazing, it goes beyond words

- Before the Nurse found Juliet’s body, the scene where everyone is running around to prepare for the wedding was so funny and a nice little reprieve. One servant asked a guy in the front row where the platter of food he was carrying, and when the guy pointed him in a direction, the Nurse intercepted and went, “no, it goes in there. Don’t listen to him, he doesn’t know.” I LOVE AUDIENCE INTERACTION

- The actor who played Benvolio also played Balthasar

- Romeo’s “I defy you, stars!” was GUTTERAL

- The way Romeo called Paris “boy” REALLY emphasized how Romeo was forced to grow up too fast, while Paris presumably was allowed to actually be a kid when he was Romeo’s age

- Romeo didn’t get to kiss Juliet or finish, “Thus with a kiss I die” before dying (he only got through “thus with a kiss”)

- The whole end scene was heartbreaking and I’m still in pain

- While Lord Montague and Lord Capulet were talking, the Prince went over to Paris’ body and cried
