I want a version of Romeo and Juliet where the Prince goes fucking OFF in his speech after Mercutio’s death.

I want a Benvolio who is weeping as he explains what’s happened, who is trying to hide his

I want actors who take the general iambic regularity of Benvolio’s speech and the slightly less regular metre of Prince’s pronouncement as evidence of the attempt at controlled performance but who just jump on the Caesurae of lines like ‘who, all as hot, turns deadly point on point’ or the messiness of ‘of stout Mercutio, and then Tybalt fled’ if they’re Benvolio and then contrast that with the insane regularity of ‘this is the truth or let Benvolio die.’

And I want a prince who fucking jumps to finish that half line of Montague’s with ‘and for that offense/ immediately we do exile him hence’ and then loses it for the next two lines which cannot be contained by metre but are balanced in rhyme.

I’ve just always loved the way the Prince’s speech juxtaposes the ‘hearts’ proceedings’ of the feud with ‘my blood for your rude brawls doth lie a-bleeding’ and the way he cannot speak of Mercutio but personally, the way he speaks of the feud as the proceedings of their heart but of Mercutio as his blood, essential to himself.

Also Mercutio and Benvolio should kiss and I will say more about that if anyone literally looks in my direction.

those romeo and juliet rp accounts are my favourite thing rn

[thedancingclowns]

So, every now and then, I go and watch/rewatch iterations of Romeo & Juliet to see/remember how different characters are portrayed.

The 1968 Romeo & Juliet keeps reinstilling my belief that Benvolio is GAY and is dating Mercutio

APPARENTLY this is an "unpopular opinion" amongst my day-to-day interactions cause EVERYONE I mention it to is like: "...uh.. nah.. I don't see it that way. They're just friends."

FRIENDS? Friends don't have the energy of:

(Imagine this in the stereotypical gay voice, please. It makes it funnier.)

Ben: "Please, can we just go inside? I'm tired of your drama, you're gonna get hurt.

Mer: "Try and stop me bitch."

AND THEN LITERAL LOVE STARING WHEN MERCUTIO IS DYING???

They're husbands, I'm sorry, y'all. They're husbands.

[rorygilmoreh4ter]

this is exactly how i see mercutio and benvolio’s dynamic

Hiii how y’all doing just here to drop a random snippet

The midnight lighting sweeps over James’ skin, casting soft shadows. Specks of glitter along his eyelids—no doubt Dorcas’ doing, damn her—twinkle like individual stars. A night sky painted over this sculpture of a face, of a boy. Eyes crinkled in laughter, cheeks blossoming.

The music is muffled, as if they really are underwater, at the bottom of some sea, and Regulus is swimming in it. The beat pierces through the waves, resonating in the floor beneath him and straight through to his chest. Or maybe that’s just his heartbeat. Or James’. Maybe the room is just one big heartbeat.

Regulus is so lost in it all he doesn’t notice when neither of them are laughing anymore.

James’ eyes, gold and glittering, sweep over Regulus’ face in interest. “Who did your makeup?”

His mouth feels dry as he replies, “Pandora.”

James raises a hand gently and hesitantly, holds his fingers out by the younger boy’s face, like the iridescent lines sloped across it have some sort of pull. “Can I?”

Regulus holds his breath. And nods.

He watches the pure wonder strewn across James’ expression as he softly traces the lines—beneath his eyes, across his cheeks and the bridge of his nose, above his eyebrows and then below. It’s a ghost of a touch and it’s leaving trails of white-hot flame. Regulus keeps himself as still as possible, breaths shallow, like the slightest movement might scare him and his touch away.

“So pretty,” James murmurs, so softly it’s not clear if he knows he said it out loud.

“Uh- yeah,” Regulus stutters, “she’s good at makeup.”

The tracing continues dangerously close to Regulus’ lips as James speaks in almost a whisper. “Oh. Yeah, the makeup too.”

Romeo & Juliet except Mercutio lives and Benvolio isn’t sad and they’re in love

[itsjustlikefallingsnow]

thinking about productions of shakespeare plays where there is exactly one character who knows theyre in a play. benvolio with his "we talk here in the public haunt of men .. here all eyes gaze on us" right before mercutio dies. he knows something is wrong before it happens, and when it does happen he knows only worse will come, so he disappears. he stayed only to try to save mercutio, and he couldnt, so he leaves. he survives the play. the same with horatio, often the voice of reason, staying only to save hamlet from his fate. in the end he is, as is benvolio, alone. but he survives. in a way the plays are about them. in a way this is their story. the only ones alive to tell it
