henry iv is a really underrated shakespeare character i think. by which i mean he's rated about as highly as he deserves but i for one love a guy who just absolutely sucks. and not even in a fun sexy way he's just miserable and guilt-ridden and terminally ill and homophobic and i think that's beautiful.

creating a book series called "big fear shakespeare" where i expect you to know every reference and definition and instead there are comments in the margins saying things like "what kind of idiot wouldn't know this?"

also a BIG fan of this one

nothing will ever be as transcendentally bad as "of hotspur coldspur" but i forgot how much "o were mine eyeballs into bullets turned / that i in rage might shoot them at your faces" makes me WHEEZE. i love when one of the best writers of all time can't write <3

happy pride month my thesis is here #mythesis

Just as the West constructs the East in order to define itself, writers construct science fictional worlds to create an Other by which they can define their own environment. And, Suvin notes, science fiction does not only define, but also redefines, criticizes, and reimagines the world: science fiction is “a diagnosis, a warning, a call to understanding and action, and—most important—a mapping of possible alternatives.” ... Thus, science fiction is perhaps the exact genre in which Cleopatra belongs: a mirrorball genre of constant reflection and infinite variety, a genre playing the eternal Other just as Cleopatra has for centuries. In the two specific science-fictional retellings I will examine, this generic estrangement lends itself to sympathetic depictions of Cleopatra, running against centuries of stories of the vamping, seductive evil queen. In a science fictional world, where the very rules of reality are Other, it is easier to explore what “Other” really means. In a science fictional world, in fact, with the laws of gender and location bent, Cleopatra might not be Other at all. Is Cleopatra exotic in science fiction, or is she right at home?

hello. some of you (all of you) may have heard me wailing and gnashing teeth from the senior thesis dungeon. here she is. thesis about cleopatra + science fiction as a genre + shakespearean reception work + adaptation as a concept + a little judith butler. and other things i like, presumably!

don pedro is the ultimate representation of when you're aro and not interested in dating but absolutely terrified of seeming like a boring killjoy so you make sure to always be the most chill the most down the most happy to wingman and ride out the epic highs and lows of your friends' romantic relationships with them. when you're the ultimate Fun Supportive Friend hyping up everyone else when they start dating their partners and turns out it was all for nothing because the second they stop being single they would always rather hang out with jakey than with you. and if you're sad about that maybe you should put yourself out there too, you know, you're missing out :)

don john is the ultimate representation of when you're tired of being nice and decide to hunt jakey for sport

i've seen people talk about aro much ado in the context of arospec benedick and beatrice but who's ready to open their eyes to don pedro and don john: the aromanticism brothers

medieval lit is really fun. there will be a footnote that is like “nobody knows what the author meant there and scholars have been debating it for centuries”
