Your Personal Teen-Angst Bull Body Count

I’m so sick and fucking tired of people removing mentions of Mercutio being gay and citing “there’s no evidence in the text” as their reason. Romeo and Juliet is not just literature, it is a play. It is theatre. And theatre is not at all about the text. Theatre is about the ambiguity; the room for every actor and director from high school to Broadway to make their own interpretation. And there is a history that you cannot deny of Mercutio being interpreted as gay. Baz Lurrman’s 1996 Romeo + Juliet just being the tip of the iceberg. Mercutio’s character almost always has a level of flamboyance that LGBT+ people recognize in themselves and that lends itself well to this interpretation. To see Shakespeare only through the lens of the text (of which practically every line could be debated, and translations vary depending on location, time period, and the positioning of the stars) is to see less than half of it. If William “Bill the Bisexual” Shakespeare wanted us to think like that he would have published his work as epic poems or something.

hey op quick question…

Probably should be concerned but I would have this is my room 😂

My loveliest friend pointed this out to me but they said that Tim probably fucks around because at this point he think “I have the answers to literally everything. It’s boring. Oh here’s someone to duck around with”

This is soooo true. As I bisexual I support this essay as a living piece of evidence. Also like I have those sunglasses

This is so funny 😂

I need to make one for myself that’s is literally me because I’m like all of these
