Much Ado About Nothing, II.i

[luzxii]

OK SO I WROTE DOWN ALL OF MEERKAT'S CURRENT LORE SO I CAN FINALLY TELL YALL HIS DEAL- JUST A WARNING IT CONTAINS SOME DARK THINGS AND I HIGHLY SUGGEST READING THE CONTENT WARNINGS IN THE TAGS, MUCH LOVE. IF YALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF CLARIFICATIONS FEEL FREE TO ASK

Leonard Pejure was born to a wealthy household as the son of Morgana Pejure and Leonard Pejure senior. He grew up in a neglectful and strict environment. From the earliest he could remember he was not allowed to step out of line or be his true self, forced to wear certain clothes and act a certain way. His mother was the main inflicter of these ideals, his father however not doing anything to stop it. Though he was advantaged by his wealth, he had an unhappy childhood due to the box he was put in. He was forced to befriend the popular kids at school, being friends with “plebeians” being met with punishment. Any hobby that was deemed to be feminine or abnormal was ridiculed. His passion is and always was theater, though he could never express this openly as a child. He picked up the fiddle at a young age, it being one of his few interests that his strict household reluctantly allowed. However, due to what his mother viewed as misbehavior; it was destroyed by her own doing. Leonard was crushed by this, the anger he felt through his entire life building up over the years. In his early-mid teenhood, he discovered he was attracted to men. His first love was a boy in his class named Atticus, the two eventually secretly dating under the radar of his family. Eventually, Leonard had finally had enough. He came out to his family, which was not met well. He was kicked out of his home at the age of 17, Atticus’ family homing him for the rest of his time before entering a musical theater college and soon after an animal care college.

In his early 20’s, Leonard received the news that his parents had been murdered. Even if he felt loss, he couldn't help but internally celebrate this as a sign of freedom. He inherited a good portion of their riches due to his parents never bothering to change papers, giving him a head start in his dream career of acting. As he grew into his mid 20’s, through his performances he noticed attention towards him. With time, he became a famous town celebrity. His dream was heading in the ideal direction, he was more than ecstatic and grateful. He changed his name to Leonard Sonnet, alteringhis first names pronunciation from the traditional ‘Leh-nard’ to the untraditional ‘Leo-nard’. Additionally, he now most often went by the stagename Meerkat. He adopted a pet meerkat he named Romeo from an animal rescue facility, it being unable to care for itself in the wild. He was incredibly protective and fond of it.

Although his life seemed perfect, he was dealing with confusing feelings inside. From the moment he hit sexual maturity, he felt an odd sexual attraction to criminals and murderers. He tried to suppress these thoughts at first, but eventually they were front and center. Eventually, he gave in to these feelings by gradually starting a second life. He began seeking out lawbreakers willing to have one night stands with him in exchange for money. This escalated to the point of having to balance his secret with the dream life he had built for himself, keeping it all away from public eyes.

Through his encounters, he eventually met a murderer named Dexter Erotoph. Over time, he found himself genuinely falling in love with him beyond the idea of a exchangement. Dexter felt the same way. Meerkat cared for Dexter to the point of helping Dexter trap animals to kill. He never watched or took part in the killing, but he wanted to help keep Dexter’s needs at bay. He knew that everything he was doing was wrong and did feel guilt for it, his own desires were just not something he was yet willing to fight.

He was used to his partners dying or going missing, he was aware he signed up for that indulging himself with wanted people. But Dexter’s death hit him much harder than he expected. It weighed on him for a good while, even affecting his career to a degree. He felt he couldn’t let anything slip or seek help. 

Ok everything after this point is everything that happens after Meerkat’s present day life, this being the ‘Postjail Leo’ timeline and taking place solely in his future.

The event did strike Meerkat to start reconsidering himself. Meerkat wondered if he would have to live his entire life like this, if it was worth hurting so many people. Over months of reflection he came to the decision of turning himself in, deeply regretting his actions. His reputation was destroyed and he lost almost all of his money through countless suings from victims of the murderers he interacted with. He ended up having to return his pet Romeo to the shelter he had adopted it from. Soon after, he was imprisoned for a sentence of 5 years.

He had a very hard time in prison, being a target for violence as he was so well known. During one attack, his leg was injured to the point he would have a permanent disability; needing a cane after his sentence ended. The most traumatic event for Meerkat was an incident in which he was sexually assaulted by the prisoner he shared a room with. All of this combined completely killed his confidence and mental health, becoming closed off and depressed. Once released, he had a very hard time landing a job due to his record; only managing to find a job at a coffee shop. He now lived in an apartment building due to his loss of money, trying to stay alive off what he had. He felt this fate was deserved due to his actions, knowing he can’t undo what he has done but wanting to at least show that he no longer wishes to cause it.

There's more to his story when he's older and such and I AM going to give him a semi-’happy’ ending, but that's all I have for his current storyline.

Ngl of all the Donne poems I'm surprised 'A Fever' doesn't get more love.

"For I had rather owner be

Of thee one hour, than all else ever."

OK??

[eosofspades]

[horatiowasgay]

I want feedback on this post (or in DMs if ur more comfortable) from anyone remotely interested in the idea! I would love Shakespeare tumblr to connect more and would be overjoyed to collaborate with y’all!

“Crossed Out” - a Petrarchan sonnet written 12/08/2022

[who-needs-braincells]

I love working on a poem for english and trying to see how i can make it about a minecraft server.

[magicandmaybe]

found this great website for english lit but i'm reading the analysis of a poem and it literally goes "to the evening star is actually NOT a typical ode/sonnet"???? apparently it was because blake was not an escapist but there was hardly any analysis and i'm crying because HOW?? and WHY???

Excerpts from letters I’d never send #2

"I'm so so soo embarrassingly in love with you. I wish I wasn't. This is painful. Is love supposed to feel this way?

In another life, this would have been a sonnet. In another life, I would've sent this.

I'm waiting. I'll wait. Par tab tak, please don't visit my psyche. it's too risky. She holds on to you like a vine holds on to a tree, hoping it would notice. The tree is too indulged with the sun to know. I have to keep ripping her apart from the tree. It hurts both of us gravely, it's devastating. Not to the tree though, never the tree.

I wish I'd never met you. Or fallen in love with you. Kyuki. Now I'd never want it to be anybody else. Nobody compares to you.
