It's the Don Quixote modern AU.

Oh... my god...

I’m crying...

“Well, we’re having salad for dinner. Well, fruit salad, actually. It’s mostly grapes. Okay, it’s all grapes, fermented grapes. It’s wine. We’re having wine for dinner.”

— Iago to Cassio, Act II, Scene III

As an aroace I get this feeling all the time because people are just so incredibly beautiful

Am I the only one who finds guys really aesthetically pleasing but wouldn’t imagine ever being in a relationship with one? Like I don’t know what to call it, but there are certain guys that are just very attractive and I can appreciate that but do I want to kiss them? No, not really. I’m very much into girls so it’s more of an aesthetic attraction. Kinda like “I’ll just look at you and wonder how I can take that in, thank you”

“You know, Cassio, I’ve been thinking about all the times that you'e patronized me and stolen positions from me, and, well, I can’t help but recall that children’s fable about the race between the tortoise and the pain-in-the-ass lieutenant that everybody hates. You see, Cassio, the pain-in-the-ass lieutenant that everybody hates kept running out in front of the tortoise and taunting him; but right at the end - gosh, I’;m sure you remember what happened, Cassio - the tortoise bit clean through the lieutenant’s calf muscle, dragged him to the ground, where he and all the other turtles devoured him alive, right there on the racetrack. It’s a… disturbing children’s book, Cassio, I know, but it’s one that stuck with me, nonetheless.”

act I, scene III

Duke of Venice: Othello, I have a report here from Brabantio. Now he makes some accusations here that I frankly find hard to believe.

Othello: Well, don't believe them then, Duke. Good-bye.

act V, scene II

Lodovico: I hardly think it will enhance your reputation in the Senate, Iago, if it's revealed that you have been implicated not only in fabricating the adultery of two of Venice's most prominent citizens, but in one of their deaths, and the deaths of three other people.

Iago: You don't know what kind of people they have in the Senate, I might go up in their estimation.

Malvolio’s Revolve

The joy of Shakespeare is that even if you see the same play dozens of times, each production is its own, unique experience.

Having said that… there are certain bits of stage business that often crop up in numerous productions. One of my favorites is Malvolio’s revolve.

Just for fun, here are various examples of Malvolio’s revolve that have been captured on film. (If the gifs don’t work, check out my original post here.)

Alec Guinness in the 1970 ITV Saturday Night Theatre production  does the classic dubious, self-conscious revolve, although Sir Toby and his gang are safely behind a hedge and don’t have to hide.

Nicholas Pennell in this 1986 filmed production at the Stratford Festival of Canada executes a confident and rarely-seen double revolve, forcing his peanut gallery to duck out of sight.

In this filmed version of the Renaissance Theatre Company’s 1988 production, Richard Briers executes a very slow , dubious revolve that is notable for being counter-clockwise. In my experience, most Malvolios revolve in a clockwise direction.

Finally, this Stratford Festival production milks the revolve for all it’s worth, with Tom Rooney’s Malvolio turning at just the right speed to miss Sir Andrew’s desperate dash across the stage.

Some productions choose to have Malvolio turn the letter around, rather than himself. Others either blow past the line without acknowledging its comedic gag potential, or cut it in its entirety. All are valid choices, but honestly… why look a gift gag in the mouth?

saw a post circulating around saying that virgil had animosity towards roman, because of his connection towards remus, personally i think its the other way around.

still. always. (unsteady pt. 2)

Title: still. always. 

Word Count: 1395

Summary: Roman stands on the other side of the door and tries to get Virgil to talk to him. Platonic Prinxiety. Part 2 of an episode tag to “Dealing with Intrusive Thoughts”. You can find Part 1 here. 

Warnings: crying, self-doubt and self-deprecation, spoilers for “Dealing with Intrusive Thoughts”, struggles with self-worth, vague mentions of Remus and Deceit, brief misunderstanding, cursing, hurt/comfort (of the self-indulgent variety, tbh), please let me know if I forgot anything. 

A/N: So…. yeah, I know I said I definitely wasn’t going to write a Part 2 but then I was reminded that the other Sides canonically know that Virgil used to be a Dark Side and well. I wrote this instead because the end of the last episode is all i can think about anymore apparently? Tagging peeps that asked to be tagged if I wrote a part 2. Edited by yours truly, so all mistakes are mine.

…

“Virgil?”

He knows that voice; he can tell in the softened lilt. It’s Roman. Even through the door, Virgil can hear the tiredness that radiates from him in waves. Roman had seemed tired a lot, recently. They all did.

“I’m…” Virgil’s voice wavers—the words buckle in his chest—and he clears his throat. He tries to find the steadiness again. “I’m really not… in the mood, Roman.”

There’s a hesitation. Virgil can see Roman’s shadow under the doorway. “Can I come in?”

Virgil huffs a breath and shakes his head. He scrubs a hand across his wet eyes. “I’m fine.”

He hears a quiet thump against the door, followed by a faint hiss of pain. “Shouldn’t have done that…” he hears Roman mutter, as if to himself. Then a bit more clearly, “If you’re fine, there’s no reason why I can’t come in.”
