productions of richard ii should include the fact that in the historical deposition richard had to put a ring on henrys hand like in a marriage. i think that would add a certain je ne sais quoi to this disastrous fucked up mess

also the fact that in like four of the five r2 productions i know of, richard is put in like some kinda all-white dress thing for the deposition. what im saying is stage it like a fucked up sham marriage or dont stage it at all

@themalhambird didn’t we write something along these lines that i’m going to have to immediately dig out when I get home….?

#also we need to take historical context into account when talking about MEDIEVAL KINGS - @shredsandpatches

I mean they were kings. There's inevitably going to be a sense of entitlement and self-obsession and a need for excessive admiration and attention. In fact not getting crazy devotion/ attention might have been the first signs of revolt and resentment for them. But at the end of the day, reducing a historical personality, who died feckin ages ago to one word is a bit.... excuse me for saying this but.... stupid.

the thing is that the quest for the silmaril was clearly intended to be celegorm and curufin's shot at redemption and it's not anyone's fault but their own that they continually beef it. the quest cannot succeed without the hound of celegorm and the knife of curufin. there are clearly celegorm and curufin shaped holes in the questing party to retrieve the sacred objects to which celegorm and curufin are oathbound. it is the fault of no one except celegorm and curufin that they aren't there for the main event. i wonder if that's why angrist snapped is because beren and luthien only needed the one but it would have held for all three if celegorm and curufin had been where they had every chance to be. shame they'll never know
