So with the blessing of @withasideofshakespeare I've decided to start a shakespeare blog for all my little thoughts and ramblings. The bounty and the benison of heaven to anyone who fills my inbox with their own headcanons/analysis/random thoughts. I will be eternally grateful to you all!
For context I'm about two thirds of my way through the canon so far:)

not enough productions properly show the fact that grief for his father motivates bolingbroke for most of the play. i would love to see a production where he's wearing mourning black from gaunt's death and onwards, until the deposition.
and maybe in 5.6, when he says "come mourn with me for what i do lament and put on sullen black incontinent", he's slowly taking out the black clothes and putting them on again
i've never seen a production of richard ii where bolingbroke just kisses richard normally in 1.3
henry you are nowhere near your sovereign's hand
free my girl she did all that and should’ve fucking done even more
what if we “reimagined” [redacted play] in a way that completely ignores the themes and thus nullifies its impact and meaning

I bet it feels good as fuck to have this too, too solid flesh melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew
Mad At You Island is where the events of William Shakespeare's The Tempest take place
My Shakespeare students (they are 12) wanted to summarize the lessons they learned this semester. If. Um. Anybody would like to see.
I cannot emphasize enough that they made these with very little input from me.
Henry the Fifth
- ALWAYS encourage others to do their best.
- NEVER talk about people behind their back.
Antony and Cleopatra
- ALWAYS check your produce for pests. [They liked this one so much made a rap about it.]
- NEVER count your chickens before they hatch.
Hamlet
- ALWAYS act decisively
- NEVER tell your girlfriend to go to a convent and become a nun [Oh boy they REALLY liked this one]
Romeo and Juliet
- ALWAYS collect all the important information before making an important decision
- NEVER bite your thumb at us, sir. [They enacted this scene in the original language a lot, except they swapped every “sir” for “bro.”]
The Merchant of Venice
- ALWAYS pay your debts.
- NEVER judge based on appearances, because “all that glisters is not gold.”
The Tempest
- ALWAYS try to forgive others.
- NEVER be a colonizer. [Yes, a middle schooler said this]
Midsummer Night’s Dream
- ALWAYS stay on forest trails
- NEVER fall in love with an ass. [They were excited about this one for obvious reasons.]
Twelfth Night
- ALWAYS stay in touch with those important to us
- NEVER read other people’s mail
Macbeth
- ALWAYS wash your hands. [One of the girls performed Lady Macbeth’s entire Out Damn Spot monologue at the end of the semester]
- NEVER succumb to peer pressure.
tragedy protagonist categories:
yknow what yeah I think that's just about how anyone would react in this situation. fair enough.
alright this isn't how just Anyone would behave in this situation but I'm humble enough to admit that there have been times in my life when I was doing badly enough that I'd probably also fumble it like this
babygirl what the hell are you even doing
thank you hamlet prince of denmark for being the character ever for the 437th year in a row
i used to be of the “if i could time travel i’d see the first-ever showing of hamlet” ilk and i still respect that crowd. but i must be honest with myself: i’m not standing upright in a crowd for four fucking hours. what i actually want is to go back in time and see the first-ever showing of shakespeare’s king lear so i can experience the exact moment when the crowd started to realize this play was not going to end the same way as any fairy-tales or myths of king leir had led them to believe. i can only imagine the energy in the globe at that moment but i think if i could capture and bottle it i could synthesize the first ever Crack That Makes You Kill Yourself

it's stabbing absolute caesar out there
while interpreting characters in literary canon as queer is a fun exercise and at times valid analysis, if you only focus on that you can overlook other important themes and subtext [my nuanced theatre/english lit mutuals leave the room] if HamletXHoratio was a firetruck it would be the biggest one in the world
gradually realizing that all of your partner's dirty talk is in iambic pentameter
something about Horatio only being noticed and treated like a person by Hamlet. something about Horatio being mischaracterised/removed from some adaptations. something about Horatio being alive only to tell Hamlet's story.
i let him hit cause. uh. well i’m gonna be honest it’s cause i fucked up my parry timing

pushing back against oldest child stereotypes by making unwise choices and not being dependable
henriad characters on social media
richard ii: luxury lifestyle instagram influencer. he is posting the most diabolical GRWMs with 28-step skincare routines and casually flexing his insane wealth. dangerously "labubu matcha rave dubai chocolate"-adjacent. unboxing videos, shopping hauls, watch me style [x], things in my mansion that just make sense, etc.
aumerle: shadow account on facebook that he uses to comment praises on every article about richard and reports everyone who criticizes him
bolingbroke: only has a linkedin where he passive aggressively vagueposts, first about the need to get a proper estate lawyer to secure your legal inheritance, then later about failing as a parent by not disciplining your children enough
hal: twitter account that he's constantly getting reprimanded for by his publicity agents. posts god-tier shitposts which he's amassed a cult following for. frequently publicly clowns on his dad but it's all a part of his plan for when he deletes everything & comes back with a fresh new professional account
hotspur: spends all his waking time arguing on reddit
ned poins: posts tiktoks of him and the guys doing stupid shit at the boar's head, frequently live streams the pranks they play on falstaff, has gotten a huge amount of followers
falstaff: i can't bring myself to assign him 4chan. he probably has a dumb ass reddit account where he makes up stories on r/aita but gets caught by hal and pretends he did it on purpose. poins posts a read-aloud of it to his tiktok.
kate percy: tumblr account that aesthetically hasn't changed since 2014. reblogs pastel info graphics about healthy communication in relationships and some current politics, but only if they relate to what hotspur's involved in. posts vents about hotspur growing distant tagged #delete later but doesn't actually delete them in the hopes that he'll see them (he won't).
