#orthello

I've missed doing these lol.

Here's a fun question that's been on my mind lately... and it has nothing to do with my own writing.

Yes, I'm aware that there are more plays. These were just the ones I could think of currently.

Perhaps I'll do a part 2...

I love these stories so much. I don't know what I'd pick here as my personal favourite. Maybe Romeo and Juliet? Since that was my introduction to Shakespeare growing up lol. Or Macbeth... because GCSE English vibes lol.

Maestro and Orthello....no I won't explain Orthello.

NEW UPDATED STORY LINE

- ciel convinces aster to take joesph back, murder undertaker and make sebastian their slave that lives in the stable

- that happens

- aster gets bored and gives joesph back to sebastian, and brings undertaker back

- undertaker falls on aster, causing him brain damage

- aster is now literally reduced to talking like a furry on tumblr, his most notable changes being that:

1. he “twalks lwike twhis u , w , u 💗”

2. he accepts undertaker and sebastian as his fathers

3. calls undertaker “papa” and sebastian “papa #2″

4. even though hes in OBVIOUS NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION undertaker doesnt care, bc he’s nice now, so he ignores that

5. aster’s newest big dream is to murder innocent children with a gun, which both undertaker and sebastian both support and approve of, and even encourage him to MURDER both orthello and nina :)

6. which does happen btw

7. BOTH ORTHELLO AND NINA ARE FUCKING DEAD

god this storyline is a fucking hot mess

"It's him. The Ringmaster of a sadistic circus..."

"What's his name?"

"Orthello."

That is actually a really complicated question, because in the time when the Moors existed, the notion of color based racism was…very different from what it is today.  The historical moors were a people in North Africa who were a mix of the Arabs arriving during the conquest, and the local Berber people, to say nothing of the many subsaharah Africans who arrived later.  Critically, the people never actually called themselves Moors, it was a term used by non North Africans to describe the people of the region, mostly Europeons and middle eastern Arabs.   There isn’t really a “Moorish” people, it was more just an abstract word to descibe non arab non berber north Africans.  The term later changed to mean “Muslim invaders of Spain” and for awhile Spanish Muslims were just called Moors.  Also in the 17th century, Europeons used the term to just mean “Black people from North Africans”   Then Moor changed again to mean “Swarthy looking” and described a certain type of face.  It isn’t really a term with a a single absolute meaning.   It doesn’t really have a consistent meaning so depending on the time period of when the term is used, then it means black, or it means Spanish Muslims, or it means a mix of Berber and Arabic North African.  Actually today there is a group who claim the term Moor as a self identifier in the nation of Mauritania and Mali, specifically the Arab-Amazigh peoples.  

   Unless you specifically mean the Moorish empire of Spain (they didn’t call themselves that btw), which was mixed race.
