this is literally how i dance

This went from “wow that’s pretty neat” to “WTF ITS ALIVE” real quick

she did that

If I don’t reblog this Puerto Rican ass mouse assume that I’m dead.

there’s a used bookstore in rural western massachusetts (the montague book mill) whose motto is “books you don’t need in a place you can’t find” and i just feel like that summarizes tumblr too

I am a WHORE for “the love is requited, they’re both just idiots”

“They are STUPIDLY competent at EVERYTHING except each other.”

I love when I hear about a choice in Shakespeare I've never thought of before. Brilliant

If I ever get to direct Hamlet I am totally stealing that.

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead.

Oh, dear. I can't reblog that fast enough.

one other thing that is important to the dynamics of much ado btw is that hero is 1) leonato’s only heir and 2) a woman. that is SUPER important because it makes the wedding scene not just catastrophic for hero who now in the eyes of everyone is ruined and unmarriageable but ALSO for leonato whose only heir is ruined and this heir crucially is a woman. he wants a man in the picture of his family’s fortune. that’s just a lot more stable. best next thing to having a son. and now he’s not only not going to have Claudio who he likes a lot and trusts (friend of Don pedro’s) but now all his money is going to hero who will NEVER marry because she can’t after what claudio says publicly about her. claudio isn’t just ruining hero but also her father and he does know that. her being leonato’s only heir comes up quite a few times (bc it’s important!). this also is why leonato is so distraught like yes socially this is mortifying but also it’s ruinous economically for their family and it’s all hero’s fault (or so he is led to believe)
