DMBJ Characters as Shakespeare Leads

I got into it in the notes of a moonfall echo post and now I’m going insane about what Shakespeare Characters each DMBJ person vibes the most with who do I blame for this

ANYWAY WELCOME TO MY LATEST NONSENSE THESE ARE MY PERSONAL OPINIONS AND ALSO BASED ENTIRELY ON VIBES ALONE

WU XIE as VIOLA from Twelfth Night

okay bear with me, I know this is a strong one coming right out the gate. But the GAY ENERGY. the ATTEMPTING TO BE SOMEONE THEY’RE NOT ALL THE TIME. the sheer amount of LOVE INSIDE. also this bitch spends SO much time in the series dressed up as other people like??? mans loves cosplaying except the cosplay is for Life and Death Situations. also the love triangles are hilarious. plus they’re both cute and gay and i love them

ZHANG QILING as CORIOLANUS from Coriolanus

did i choose these two because they’re arguably the hottest characters in each of their canon? maybe. also Cori Boy is the only one violent enough to even come CLOSE to xiao-ge’s deadly energy. I could have done Hamlet, who is the only other real Shakespearian swordsman, but Hamlet talks too much. also something about the desperation and side-switching that appeals to me. OH THEY BOTH HAVE GOOD TITS yeah that’s a good reason too

WANG PANGZI as THE FOOL from King Lear

okay before any of you come for me in the notes, the Fool is arguably the greatest Shakespearean character. They’re only CALLED the Fool cause it’s their job, but actually they’re the only one with any braincells in the play. Both start out as the archetypal comic relief character and then become the heart and soul of the story. The Fool makes a bunch of jokes and also prophesies the end and possibly is magic?? who’s to say. But anyway Pangzi also does all of those things and I feel like he should get to wear a funny hat. plus the Fool just has to deal with idiots trying to take his job by being clowns for free, and Pangzi can relate to that energy I think

LIU SANG as ARIEL from The Tempest

If it weren’t for just the SHEER amount of creepy magical energy they both exude, it’s the loyalty and sacrifice that does it for me. Not only are they both Ethereal Beings, there’s also a lot of sound ties to Ariel in The Tempest, so like it checks out. Plus they both Crouch. Also I just want Liu Sang to be able to smite some bitches sometimes. That would be good for him (it’s NOT because they’re both my favorite characters IT’S NOT)

Bai Haotian as Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream

So this is not only because i have a thing for casting women as Puck, but also because they fit so well together!! like. they both have crushes on people they perceive to be in authority! they both like being helpful! they both should get to be a little feral and also do magic! like Xiao Bai would be SUCH a cute Puck and if Wu Xie weren’t such a dumbass he’d make a good Oberon but alas. He is a Dumbass. so Xiao Bai is Puck but Wu Xie doesn’t get to be in Midsummer because he is simultaneously Too Dumb and Not Dumb Enough. 

LI CU as PRINCE HAL from Henry IV Part I

sorry for more Tom Hiddleston pics but he’s genuinely like the best Shakespearian actor I’ve ever seen, and he’s done it all. Anyway Li Cu is Hal but specifically Hal from Part I because Part II isn’t as good and Hal is basically Dead when we get to Henry V so it has to be Part I. Anyway. Troubled youth who doesn’t want to do what his father wants so he basically gets kidnapped and raised by an older man who is full of Trickery and also Witty Remarks? The Best Friends Trios? The evolution into a Hero in Their Own Right? These guys are perfect for each other. Also I go feral about both of them at any given moment

A-NING as LADY MACBETH from Macbeth

YES I used A-Ning from Time Raiders because I think she’s the hottest version of A-Ning WHAT ABOUT IT. Anyway A-Ning could be no one other than the scheming girlboss Lady Macbeth. They’re both Morally Ambiguous but Fuck they look so good doing it. Can And Will manipulate literally any man into doing what they want. Su Nan was also a contender for Lady Macbeth because she resonates very strongly with the “Out, damned spot!” monologue, but she respects authority too much. A-Ning would not hesitate to kill the bitchass king of Scotland so that her family could ascend to the throne and I love that for her

ZHANG DADDY RISHAN as HAMLET from Hamlet

OKAY BEFORE ANYONE SAYS “brigid i know u chose them because ur a simp for zhang daddy rishan and ur a simp for hamlet stop being so predictable” LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE COULD DO IT THO??? LIKE??? ok they both are setting their life purpose on the bedrock of an older mentor figure’s death... they both have to deal with conspirators trying to usurp them... both the Ultimate Tragic Hero and Make Me Cry Every Damn Day... both are torn away from their nerd boyfriends by death... they both live in my head rent free... I know Zhang Daddy Rishan does not talk as much as Hammie Boy but I 100% think that there’s a CONSTANT monologue going on in his head at all times. Also the Am I A Coward speech? That’s our Daddy Rishan to the MAX. No one look at me or im gonna start making picsets of him with Hamlet quotes superimposed over it I swear to GOD

and finally.... 

WU SANXING as IAGO from Othello

Not only does this picture from the NTL production of Othello represent what I want to do to Sanshu every time I see him onscreen, but these bitches are two of The Fakest Hos I have ever come across. It’s a love-hate relationship with them most of the time; you hate them for what they’re doing to the heroes, but they’re so good at the Trickery that you can’t help but admire them for it a little bit. They can, have, and will sell their family members for a single Lick of Power and Wealth. And yeah, you could MAKE an argument for them to be Good or at the very least Morally Ambiguous but they’re both giant dicks and deep down in our hearts we all know it.

Archivist!PK AU Headcanons

Okay so I’ve written a few things in the Archivist!PK AU, either here or in Elegies, Memories. And it sometimes lives rent-free in my brain, so I’m going to make that y’all’s problem too.

Despite being head of the Archives, PK is kind of the campus cryptid. You might catch him skulking around the halls, or deep in one of the libraries. Allegedly he’s in his office sometimes, but what few things he keeps in there are... odd. In all likelihood, though, if he doesn’t want you to see him, you won’t.

Yes he was cleaning the chalkboard. No he doesn’t see this as unusual. It was dirty, he was there with a free hand. What other bugs see as “below his station” is a rather ridiculous set of standards.

Ghost, Hornet, and Hollow all drop by from time to time. Hornet intimidates everyone, both by reputation as the ruler of Deepnest and by being Hornet. Hollow used to intimidate everyone, too. Ghost got cooed over a lot. Over time, though, people learned what happened at the end of the infection and now Ghost intimidates some people, and Hollow gets cooed at.

Hornet visits if she needs something, be it from a scholar or her sire. Though most of Hallownest is now governed by various councils, she still checks in to make sure things are going all right, and her sire freely shares advice with her about rulership.

Ghost visits their friends. Quirrel’s one, of course, but they’ve come to befriend a few of the students and new faculty. They’re fantastic at listening to whatever someone’s working on, and more than one person has had a problem-solving realization while talking to them about something.

Hollow, of course, goes to visit their dad. Both were shy around each other at first, but now if you find Hollow on campus, you’re bound to see PK with them, often stroking their head as he works.

Once people started to realize Hollow was a big, traumatized sweetheart who’d been sacrificed to save Hallownest, they’d motivate each other to do things “for Hollow.” Especially because the big Vessel seemed to like being told about the wonderful things folks were up to. The motto “for Ghost” also caught on soon enough. For a certain contingent, “for Hornet” also works.

Hollow also apprentices under Midwife, and has been getting involved in fostering young hatchlings, particularly ones that need a little extra help to survive and thrive. They bring the worst off ones to their dad, since he has Soul healing.

After one of the hatchlings died despite his interventions, PK was a wreck for weeks. Hollow began bringing the healthier ones to show him after that, so he could see the ones that are doing well. He’ll tuck them under his chin and rumble absentmindedly, to various degrees of success at actually soothing them.

Once he and the White Lady reunite, he’s in her gardens almost every week. He shied out of her territory for a time, but she said he was welcome any time. (He still mostly just goes right to her, and certainly doesn’t try to be any sort of authority in the Queen’s Gardens.)

Don’t ask him to try to do anything the day of his trip to the gardens, and possibly a bit before. He’ll be too busy thinking about his beloved Root. He straight up won’t hear you, he’s drunk too much I Love My Wife juice.

He rarely teaches classes himself. He’ll help provide material or guest lecture sometimes (if the teacher can find him and drag him in), but he doesn’t teach. When he does, it’s because he’s found a small contingent of students he likes and are interested in the same thing, so he’ll teach some tiny upper-level class just for them.

He’s a pretty good, patient teacher, though he’s still figuring out how to be casual, so at times it takes a bit of decoding noble mannerisms to get at what he’s saying. He does sometimes need his students to help him figure out what’s an appropriate amount of work and what can fit in a single lecture, too. But he’s good about taking that feedback.

The Radiance is still around, though on the opposite side of the kingdom! She had A Time when she learned the bitchass wyrm thief had survived, too; she thought she was the only one. He doesn’t know about her and she’d rather keep it that way because she swears she’s going to punch his kingslight out if she meets him.

She has a mini heart attack whenever she sees one of the scholars around, though thankfully they don’t seem to recognize her, between her multiple layers and mortal form.

Is she a little smug she’s the one teaching Ghost how to handle godhood? Why yes, yes she is. She’s still mad at them but kind of proud of her little apprentice. She’s quietly ignoring the painful guilt at how determined they are not to misuse the dream realm.
