my mom was delighted to find Douglas Adams squeezed between the likes of Shakespeare, Austen, and Dickens. "Wish You Were Here" indeed!

People act like fanfiction shouldn't be taken seriously, but 10 Things I Hate About You is Shakespeare fanfiction and I think we can all agree that that is one of the greatest movies of all time

Coriolanus, Act V Scene 4 (dialogue edited by me to fit into a fun little comic)
I guess let’s see how big the audience for fanart of lesser-known Shakespearean tragedies is 😭

Another year, another group of my delightful ninth graders trying to spell the word "tragedy" for their Romeo and Juliet assignment.

Oh, is that who I am now? Well, it was never that far from the surface, mate.

Absolutely insane lines to just drop in the middle of an academic text btw. Feeling so normal about this.

Last night I dreamed that someone invented a new version of chess called Rookmeo and Juliet where two rooks are in love and trying to run away together. To achieve this they have to make it to the other side of the board, but these rooks don't have any visible signs to differenciate them from the rest, just a small mark in their base. Neither of the players knows what rook from the other side is in love with their rook, so they have to play a regular game of chess, fully aware that they might unknowingly kill the lover of their rook. If they kill it, the game keeps going, but their rook betrays them, switches sides and turns into a second queen for the other player. People wrote a ton of essays about the symbolism and metaphors of that version of chess and the creator didn't have the heart to tell them that he simply invented it because he thought Rookmeo was a great pun

I forgot that I have 12 years of having to analyse Shakespeare’s language, so here is Puck’s speech about the backstory to Midsummer Night’s Dream spoken as modern gossip.
(This was way harder to perform than the Shakespeare version. Also Titania is 100% in the right here. The Prince is the half-orphaned son of one of her friends and followers whom she promised to look after if something happened)
