it’s hamlet! i remembered that really popular post about these sunglasses and i decided to put together this travesty. also look if you think he wouldnt still wear a cape with all that youre wrong 

#shhhh this goes here it's fine #brilliant job op

I would love to see a production of Hamlet set in the 80s, if for no other reason than to see Hamlet’s really dark wardrobe come off as even more inappropriate and weird because everyone else is wearing bright neon.

#hey hard same op

[80s-teen-hamlet]

he’s gay and tired

#horatio #he somehow never made it over here

She Deserves More Than Death

80s AU Ophelia!

Chalk Pastel on Paper. 30″ x 40″

You can’t really tell, bc lol tumblr, but @atimewillcomeforsinging helped me  out by writing out Ophelia’s last monologue in spirals within the letters. The flowers in the background are the ones she names in said monologue: rosemary, pansies, fennel, columbines, a daisy, violets, and rue.

i can’t stop fucking thinking about my english prof talking about the queer historical significance of the word “sweet” as a deliberate indicator of homosexual love and how that relates to both edward ii and gaveston, as well as hamlet and horatio. so, because shakespeare was likely totally knowledgeable about codes that queer men were using (cos like duh obvs), the inclusion of “sweet prince” at the end of hamlet is in all likelihood a completely deliberate indication that hamlet and horatio were in love

i’m???? so gay for literature and history lmao

the most extra things that hamlet did in the play, in no particular order

told his mother that no matter how much black he wore it could never really reflect how he felt inside

had a full conversation in a graveyard with a gravedigger about death and talked to the skull of a man he hadn’t even seen in twenty-three years 

physically attacked his mom over her sex life

wrote an entire play to frame his uncle for murder instead of just going to the authorities or killing his uncle like he kept planning on doing

jumped into ophelia’s grave to fight with laertes over which one of them loved her more

“how do i distract everyone so i can plan my uncle’s murder? act fucking insane? okay that works lmao”

forged a letter from his uncle instructing the people in england to murder his former best friends instead of him 

stabbed polonius and then said it was his fault for being too nosey

Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted colour off, And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark. Do not for ever with thy vailed lids Seek for thy noble father in the dust: Thou know'st ‘tis common; all that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity.

One of my final few pieces for my spring thesis! This one is from Hamlet, styled as if it were a 1980s soap opera a la Dynasty!

#!!!! Good
