I need this performed on stage
it’s really important that everyone read mallory ortberg’s sir gawain and the green knight parody
agree 100%. so important that I am going to paste the rest of it here. (one note– the author goes by Daniel Lavery nowadays. he’s a treasure)
GAWAIN: your clothes – your hair – your face – they’re all green
GREEN KNIGHT: that’s not all of me that’s green
GAWAIN: what is that supposed to mean
GREEN KNIGHT: let’s play a game you hit me today and i’ll hit you a year from now
GAWAIN: it’s Christmas
GREEN KNIGHT: fine hit me today and i’ll hit you a year and a day from now happy?
GAWAIN: I don’t understand the rules of this game or the prize what is the end goal here
GREEN KNIGHT: are you going to try to cut my head off or what
[GAWAIN cuts the GREEN KNIGHT’s head off]
GREEN KNIGHT: great hit see you in a year
[The GREEN KNIGHT picks his head up and rides away]
GAWAIN: oh my God
KING ARTHUR: honestly my advice to you is not even worry about this
GUINEVERE: yeah do not take this seriously
GAWAIN: why would I do that that’s a terrible idea this man can’t die and I have to let him strike me in a year
KING ARTHUR: look i just said that was my advice
GREEN KNIGHT: welcome to my castle, we’ve definitely never cut off each other’s heads before, my name is Bertilak and I am a regular human color, how are you
GAWAIN: Hello thank you for your hospitality, but I cannot stay long I have an appointment with a man at the Green Chapel in a few days
GREEN KNIGHT: that is JUST down the road from here, probably you should just stay here until it’s time for that, stay here with me and my wife
GAWAIN: very well I accept
GREEN KNIGHT: oh but shoot I have to go on a hunt, like right now so why don’t we just agree to play a game for as long as you’re staying here where I bring you whatever I find during the day and you bring me whatever you find during the day
GAWAIN: what an odd suggestion why don’t I just come hunting with you instead?
GREEN KNIGHT: NO YOU STAY HERE IN THE CASTLE AND YOU GIVE ME WHATEVER YOU FIND HERE
GAWAIN: but you already own everything in the castle, it’s your c –
GREEN KNIGHT: I WILL SEE YOU ON THE MORROW
LADY BERTILAK: whatcha kissin’
GAWAIN: what? nothing
LADY BERTILAK: let’s make out
GAWAIN: I don’t feel like we should do that
LADY BERTILAK: if you don’t kiss me at least once it would really hurt my feelings
GAWAIN: well if it would hurt your feelings
LADY BERTILAK: great now you can make out with my husband tonight
GREEN KNIGHT: GAWAIN I have brought you a deer from today’s hunt what do you have for me
GAWAIN: I uh I guess I have some kissing for you to have
GREEN KNIGHT: sounds great [they kiss] ok see you tomorrow
GAWAIN: oh I really don’t want to play this game again, this is making me sort of unco –
GREEN KNIGHT: see you tomorrow
LADY BERTILAK: let’s have sex
GAWAIN: Okay, no for two reasons one is that you are my host’s wife and also it goes against every vow of knighthood ever and the second half of the second reason is that then I would have to also have sex with your husband according to your weird castle sex game
LADY BERTILAK: mm that sounds like a Gawain problem not a Lady Bertilak problem
GAWAIN: I’m not having sex with you
LADY BERTILAK: fine here’s my underwear though, you have to take it otherwise it would be rude
GAWAIN: well I don’t want to be rude excuse me, I have to go kiss your husband again
GREEN KNIGHT: Well, Gawain it’s been a great time here at Castle Makeout but you’d better go fight that Green Knight you keep talking about
GAWAIN: I will probably perish when it is his turn to deliver the blow Farewell, friend
GREEN KNIGHT: Gawain Gawain it was me the whole time
GAWAIN: what
GREEN KNIGHT: I’m the same guy and I’m not gonna kill you I’m just gonna fuck up your neck a little because you kept my wife’s underwear and didn’t tell me but you’re all right, guy you’re all right
GAWAIN: what the hell what the hell was the point of any of this why the hell did you set all this up for
GREEN KNIGHT: :)
GAWAIN: what the HELL
KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE: henceforth we shall all wear green sashes to celebrate the valuable lesson we have learned this day
GAWAIN: WHAT LESSON WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
KNIGHTS OF THE ROUND TABLE: :)

I'm going to be a Shakespeare nerd for two seconds but I fucking love in the David Tennant/Catherine Tate Much Ado About Nothing how they mess around with the script leading to some genuinely hilarious moments like
okay
in the script, Benedick has the following line:
It seems her affections have their full bent. Love me? Why, it must be requited!
But in the show it's
It seems her affections have their full bent. Love me? Why? It must be requited!
Or to be even more specific it's:
Love me? ...
... ...WHY? ... ... It must be requited!
And I think that's beautiful.

If you think about it, Shakespeare pioneered the genre of real-person fiction, paving the way for works such as Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton. Therefore, Shakespeare is directly responsible for Miku binder Thomas Jefferson. In this essay, I will
Everytime I read Frankenstein, the same line makes me put the book down and stare at the wall. It’s my favorite line in the book; it has its own highlighter color in my annotations. The first time I read it, I literally detoured after my last class just to tell my lit teacher how much I liked the line because I couldn’t wait until second period the next day. Here’s the line:
“Life, although it may only be an accumulation of anguish, is dear to me, and I will defend it.”
This is said by the creature. He wanted to live. He wanted to live life so badly even though he had had such a difficult one. He still loved the song of the birds and the smell of the flowers and the joy in the world even if he never got to truly experience that joy. I just. AHHHH.
He wanted to fight for a life he never got to live.
the homeric hymn to hermes is so funny bc like. it's easy to forget when you're reading it that hermes is literally just a baby but then it's SO delightful to remember that fact in the middle of the poem and realize that the little asshole telling a farmer who witnessed him stealing apollo's cattle that "you didn't see anything" is like three days old. literal boss baby

Sorry for breaking under the pressure of studies and crying. That wasn't very overachieving-model-student of me.
What was there to complain of, but that she had been loved?
