David was announced as Macbeth five minutes ago, and already people are mentioning Michael. There’s just no keeping them even slightly apart...

Do you guys remember the british tv show Misfits that truly introduced the insane acting range of the guy who in Game of Thrones cut Theon Greyjoys's dick off and just how insanely good that show was

The actor Junius Brutus Booth in costume as Edmund Mortimer in Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1 (1823), painted by John B. Neagle
#shakespeare#the henriad#art#this was john wilkes booth's father.................. so for that reason i will not be tagging the actor by name lol#idk WHAT kind of weirdos i would invite to my blog by doing that but for historical transparency i did cite the actor#listen. i. he died in 1852 i bet he sucked as a person but he didn't assassinate anybody okay#the portrait is bitchin and i found it while looking up#henry iv part 1#i henry iv#william shakespeare#edmund mortimer#john b. neagle#i wish there were more resources to learn about the lady mortimer#i also wish she had more actual dialogue in the play i find her so interesting#i wonder what elizabethan performances were like of her!!! bc all of her dialogue is just [speaks in welsh] or [sings in welsh]#it makes it so hard to imagine her as a reader. normally i like the abstract exercise of envisioning plays in my head but#wo her own words it's so much less of an approachable challenge#i don't even speak welsh too#and i wonder what the history of her being represented on stage is like#did they normally have an actual welsh actor/actress play her? i sort of DOUBT it was originally like that in the 1590s#but im sure if it's a high-budget production done today it's only natural to seek out a welsh-speaking actress and have her collaborate#w her own dialogue? right?#it's so surreal too bc shakespeare's works almost never acknowledge differences in language#it rarely has much to do w the plot#the only other passing reference i can think of off the top of my head is 'twas greek to me' and that was offstage someone spoke greek#in julius caesar#idk!!!! man!!!!! i just find it interesting#most of shakespeare's characters wouldn't have even natively spoken english so it's just never mentioned#but in the history plays. well of course they spoke english they were englishmen! except those celtic ppls#who always come up as just. iconic charismatic bastards and rebels. it's a very prejudicial interpretation but i have fun w it

i literally had a dream that you posted run boy run 4 & manhattan wv at the same time and i got so excited i woke up
sneep that is both the funniest and sweetest thing i've ever heard but that is NOT gonna happen anytime soon - i am getting back into my RBR swing (yippee!) but manhattan wv (or part one at least) has soooo much left to put into it. i've been working purely on vibes and worldbuilding and i have done,,, very little on actually getting the plot rolling. but to make up for that here's a little snippet i was debating on posting because you're very lovely and your enthusiasm over the whole thing has been a really big motivator for me and i really really appreciate it :)
“Well, Medda’s been nice, I guess, so at least I have a place to sleep before the next train-”
Before he can finish, Siôn lunges like an animal, fast and deadly, slamming his mug against the diner table with a clatter, hard enough that a crack shoots up the edge. Jack’s breath freezes in his lungs as he jolts backwards, that audible crack fracturing through his ribs and into his chest, sharp enough to bleed.
“Jesus, dude, what the fuck?!” He snaps, teeth bared and heart hammering. “The hell’s wrong with you?!”
Siôn only raises his mug and stares, eyes wide, at the crumpled corpse of a spider. Phantom shivers wrack through Jack’s body, a million legs prickling at his skin, and he can’t help the gasp that shoots through his throat.
“Sorry,” Siôn breathes, his eyes still lost and misted. “I just… I don’t like spiders.”
Jack nods, not trusting his voice.
“Me neither,” is all he can manage to say while the spider’s dead eyes stare at him.
Siôn swallows, never taking his eyes off the spider’s mangled body as he takes a napkin and covers it, the paper immediately staining with something wet and sticky.
“I haven’t…” He whispers, like if he speaks too loud, he’ll wake it. “Haven’t seen one in a while.”
Jack blinks, a knot forming between his brows.
“A spider?”
Siôn shakes his head.
“Not this kind.”

I've been on a work trip this week. Here are some things I learned about my coworkers:
One of them is a discworld fan who's trying to convince her 10yo daughter to read the Tiffany Aching books
One of them... might be aroace...? I didn't want to pry but she basically said she doesn't give a shit about relationships and is going to have a kid on her own. Either way, good for her
They are all SO chill about neurodiversity (I suspect it's due to the massive autistic vibes our line of work requires because I can think of at least three of them who are pinging my ND radar)
They are, collectively, a branch of my dog's online fan club

Bisexual Panic! In the Greenwood
I got some interest on Bluesky for doing a series of videos on Welsh folklore, fables and folktales, so I thought as it’s Bi Visibility Month I’d start with an 18thC fable that Iolo Morgannwg recorded in his infamous manuscripts called Einion and the Lady of the Wood. I’ll do a video on who Iolo Morgannwg was another time, but you can Google him if you’re curious.  Iolo claimed this tale was…
