Quote
‘Oh! It is only a novel! It is only “Cecilia”, or “Camilla”, or “Belinda”; or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language.’
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, 40 (via i-never-knew-keats)

I know I can't be the only one who just really, unironically loves Romeo and Juliet. Decades of forced readings in English classes and every terrible parody under the sun have ruined it for so many people but it's so good! It's popular for a reason! You're not cool and edgy for hating it! It's gorgeous and tragic and I just. I love r&j a lot.

House #1
Drinks wine all day
Absolutely pissed
Starts WW3
Drunk history
House #2
Titania: “Ok guys, house meeting–
Henry V: *is half way out of window*
Tuesday is “Lads Night”
Titania has banned “Lads night”
House #3
Rip Brutus
House #4
It’s all jokes until 45 minutes in
Everyone cries
Hamlet: Denmark’s a prison
Mercutio: Dude, the WORLD is in quarantine
House #5
Weirdly productive
Finds cure to virus
Begins world domination
House #6
Lots of screaming
Alliances form
Richard II and Horatio find out they both like Lorde
Richard III and Nurse bond over Hell’s Kitchen
Shakespeare thinks he’s having a weird fever dream which he is and spends all his time sleeping
He’s set his alarm for: “when this is all over”
Tumblr media
Choose your Shakespeare quarantine house! How self indulgent and chaotic do you want it?
