Thinkin about Bianca di Angelo. She was just a pre-teen girl who was forced to be a mother. Was she attracted to death because it brought her closer to her father? What would she have become with freedom and time? Would she have chosen the Hunters if she’d had a chance at a normal pre-teen life? Maybe she just wanted to be a girl forever because she already missed her chance. 12 year olds shouldn’t be mothers.

what is time loop hamlet & can we get the yt link??

TIME LOOP HAMLET!!!

it's the best hamlet of all time. the college troupe who made it should be given a broadway budget. what if hamlet was set in a time loop and the only character unaware of the time loop was hamlet himself

I'm currently rereading talk your talk, its so good! And I've forgotten if you've posted a concise list of Nico's songs anywhere?

I saw you mentioning that you kind-of based Lou Ellens youtube channel on hthaze, and watched his reactions for the Nico songs. I thought that sounded really fun to do! -but to do that myself I would need a track list (and look up the albums since I'm not very well-versed in Taylor Swift)

Keep up the amazing work(no pressure)! and i hope you have a nice weekend :)

i actually only have the first album all listed out in the fic, so i'll be writing out a tracklist for you anyway!! i also have all of the playlists for the talk your talk verse linked in the beginning notes of greatest of luxuries, so they're all in playlists there if you'd like to listen to it then - and then i think when eventually, nda3 is released, i'll add it to the end notes of the fic!

so, here's nico di angelo's discography:

'Cassandra' by Taylor Swift is actually from the point of view Clytemnestra, in this essay I will-

Maybe not an essay but some in-depth lyrical analysis instead:

'I was in my new house placing daydreams' It's her house while Agamemnon is at war, and she tries to make it into the perfect house of her dream - she is in charge now

Patching up the crack along the wall She's trying to keep her family - Electra and Orestes - together, even though it's become irreparably broken with the death of Iphigenia and with Agamemnon going to war

I pass it and lose track of what I'm saying 'Cause that's where I was when I got the call Clytemnestra has a system of fires set up specifically to tell her when the Trojan War is ended and her husband's coming home - this 'call' is the beginning of the end for her

When the first stone's thrown, there's screaming In the streets, there's a raging riot When it's "Burn the bitch, " they're shrieking I mean, 'bitch' for Clytemnestra? Need I say more? The woman who has been portrayed time and time again as a cruel, inhumane woman who kills her war-hero of a husband? Everyone in her story hates her and everyone who hears her story hates her

When the truth comes out, it's quiet A few interpretations here - firstly, everyone being quiet about the death of Iphigenia - they don't mention what Agamemnon did to start the war, instead letting it be forgotten to time, and being quiet if Clytemnestra ever does bring it up. Then, quiet in the way that the Chorus simply commentates as she kills her husband, only to do and say nothing to her face about it

So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst And tried to tell the town This line fits less well in that it is 'they' who killed Cassandra, but some sources state that is Aegisthus who murders her, whilst it could also be seen as a more general commentary on how Cassandra's phrophesysing led to her destruction, mentally and physically

So, they filled my cell with snakes, I regret to say Do you believe me now? LITERALLY - need I say more??? Her husband betrayed her by killing their child and if that doesn't make him a snake I don't know what does - and then her very own children turned against her.

I was in my tower weaving nightmares Twisting all my smiles into snarls They say, "What doesn't kill you makes you aware What happens if it becomes who you are?" Clytemnestra goes from being a princess of Sparta, sister to beautiful Helen, to wife of a man who has no qualms over killing their child - she becomes mean because she has to be to avenge her daughter's murder

They knew, they knew, they knew the whole time That I was onto something The family, the pure greed, the Christian chorus line They all said nothing No one stood by her as her daughter was murdered - Clytemnestra was literally the one to lead her daughter to the camp, thinking it was for a wedding, only to discover Iphigenia was a lamb meant for slaughter. The Greek chorus doesn't act to save Cassandra or Clytemnestra - they just watch and commentate, without taking any actions or supporting anyone through deeds instead of words.

Blood's thick but nothing like a payroll Because family meant less to Agamemnon than fighting a war over a woman, and the wealth and glory he could steal from that battle.

Bet they never spared a prayer for my soul Because although her daughter was sacrificed to the gods, what good did it do her? Clytemnestra, who was, instead, doomed by the fights, to be murdered by her own son.

TO SURMISE - I don't think T. Swift actually intended for this song to be read this way but I love Clytemnestra so much so I couldn't help but hear her story in between the lines.

The Taylor Swift Room and the Reputation Room won't be done until we have their Taylor's Version re-release (it would only be fair!).

I’ve only seen one post that compares hamlet/horatio’s relationship and rosencrantz/guildenstern’s for comedic reasons and it’s so sad because it is such funny content

Laertes always hoped he’d take Ophelia to France one day.

For the ask thingy ^-^ no pressure, Crow!

Laertes always hoped he’d take Ophelia to France one day.

He’d often joked with her about setting her up with one of his friends, telling her if it was Hamlet’s shoddy poetry that attracted her, she would find an abundance of romantic prospects in France (men and women, he would add with a raise of his eyebrows.)

Ophelia would laugh, shaking her head at her brother’s romantic notions, but hang on his every word as he recounted lessons of history that he had learned, places he’d been to, art he’d seen, and especially the people he’d met.

And Laertes knew there were people in France just as enthusiastic about meeting her: a lovely bookkeeper named Anne and her housemate Marguerite, and many of the friends he’d met in school who heard of his past and family most often.

It felt traitorous to admit that France was where he had the most fun, no longer responsible for upholding his father’s image in court, although Laertes had heeded his father’s advice for the most part, keeping somewhat respectable company and moderating his drinking.

How funny, despite his caution poison was the very thing killing him now, curled up on the castle’s floor and praying he had been a good enough son and brother to see his family again once his heavy and fading heartbeat finally failed.
