#mercutio romeo and juliet

[yourlocalcourtfool]

Hi so I'd like to propose the idea of Tybalt and Mercutio being childhood best friend like BEST friends. But as life went on sides were picked and fights took place and in the end they ended up being the cause of each others demise

In a “everybody lives/nobody dies” AU of Romeo and Juliet, and Romeo and Juliet had kids, Mercutio would be the best fun uncle to the kids and you can’t change my mind

In a regency AU, Steve and Robin and Eddie and Chrissy would be lavender married, respectively, and live in neighboring estates. Every night, Robin and Eddie high five as they pass each other walking through their adjoining yards, on their way to go and rail their one true loves.

If nobody gets the reference I'll explode

Lord, I enjoyed the making of this minicomic a lot, it's my first time drawing the veronaville folks and I think I could polish their looks a little bit more but to be honest, I'm in love the way I got Puck to look. Tybalt and Mercutio who?

(the dialogue this comic is referencing is a scene in Gnomeo and Juliet if nobody gets it *wink wink*)

I feel like Puck would be the most open/straight up not care about a Monty/Capp romance so yeah, they're the only one who can tell there's something else going between these two and isn't afraid of calling it out. Even if they themselves ignore it

I know how boys like you taste— like unshed tears and pent up rage.

I do think hands down the best Shakespearean death goes to mercutio like. It's just so Rich. This isn't some dime a dozen lamenting- Mercutio is a cocksure young man who thought he was never gonna die and the realization that he is in fact dying hits him hard, but he can't stop making jokes? Like the jokes are so loaded they're his gut reaction + defensive mechanism but he's also so scared and angry! And up until this point he was all in for the feuding but you just hear in his last words how he realized that he truly just threw his whole life away for absolutely nothing. Like... Oh the layers

HAROLD PERRINEAU as Mercutio | ROMEO + JULIET (1996)

[andromeda3116]

i mean for real look up other actors' deliveries of the queen mab monologue and then come back and tell me any of them did it better than harold perrineau

like most of them are just. saying the words like any other, or trying to spin a tale kind of randomly which i guess is fine and sort of establishes mercutio as being Out There, but they don't particularly characterize him as standing out that much

but harold perrineau delivers that speech like a man with some serious shit he needs to sort through, and strongly sets up the kind of character who would throw himself into a duel on impulse and scream a plague on both your houses! while dying senselessly

none of the others make mercutio so manic, so hectic, a candle so bright that it's burning itself out in a blaze of bitter glory

his mercutio is gregarious, living large, here for a good time not for a long time, living fast and dying young and boiling with energy and a kind of rage under the surface like he wants to burn the world down and let it take him with it

his is the most compelling and realistic mercutio i've ever seen

no other portrayal can compare
