#Mercutio is emo

[shojoboy]

Completely random but I feel like if Romeo & Juliet took place in modernish times than Mercutio would be goth/emo. Rings true to me

#DONT ask why I have no argument i just feel it in my bones #I mean tbh I just want him to be. Actually yeah this is my emo mercutio kin sona now #Shakespeare #-_-

Popular Books I Read and HATED

*Disclaimer: If you like any of these books, slay! I'm happy for you! These are just my own consumer choices, and imo negative book reviews are just as helpful as positive ones!*

This list is not long because I don't actively dislike many books that I read, and I have a very good sense of what I will and will not like, but there are some I had to read/were misled into reading so here we go:

1. Tender Is The Flesh

by Agustina Bazterrica

My rant review is above if you want more details but recently I've seen a few videos that articulate my feelings in a way that I couldn't before so im going to add a few reasons here that were not included in the original post:

It gave very Qanon and general antisemitic vibes: i.e blatant conspiracy made up by the "wealthy liberal elites" to encourage cannibalism for their own enjoyment (I know she's Argentinian however that doesn't mean im not allowed to get the ick from it)

Purposefully inaccurate depictions of meat industry and disrespect for farmers (context: im a vegetarian from farm country with a roommate who works in the cattle industry - Angus beef if you're curious - so im very familiar with the process and cannot say in good conscious that it is all bad -> just support local farmers <3)

world building makes little sense

COWS DO NOT EQUATE TO HUMANS NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO !!!!!!!!

the "disease" doesn't make sense (even if its made up who would believe it)

No themes were treated with the depth nor nuance they require (capitalism, feminism, veganism etc.)

I think thats all I haven't covered but this is the only book I have ever read where my hatred of it continues to grow with each day. I went out of my way and deleted it from my reader and get annoyed every time I see it. And for the record (because yes i'm salty) I didn't hate it because it was too disturbing, in fact I've read and loved worse and ive been an avid horror reader since I was (admittedly too) young. I hate it because there wasn't a well done story underneath the gore. I'll say it loudly for the people in the back GORY HORROR BOOKS STILL DESERVE A GOOD/INTERESTING STORY, especially if you want to try to put complex themes in it. If you cannot write a deep story but you're good at and enjoy gore, write yourself a lil 100 page splatter punk and we can all have a good time <3

Unlike with Tender Is The Flesh I don't have a ton of thought out critical reasons for the rest of these soooooo I'm going to give my highly subjective reasons -> I totally understand why some like them <3

2. The Handmaids Tale

by Margaret Atwood

hated the writing style

It didn't keep my attention

disliked the ending so much I actually threw it across the room <3

3. The Hobbit

by J.R.R Tolkien

hated the writing style

male centered fantasy is not my vibe

my ADHD cannot handle long incredibly descriptive sections in books -> I physically fell asleep multiple times while reading this book

honestly even with the movie I fall asleep every time

0/10 book I want to read

10/10 bedtime story

4. Lord of The Flies

by William Golding

hated the writing style

hated most of the characters (and not in a slay anti-hero way)

was forced to read it in high school and it single handedly sent me into a 4 year reading slump... I missed so many good books because of this and will forever hold a grudge

5. Romeo & Juliet

By William Shakespeare

I'm too jaded and gay to enjoy this -> every single character is so painfully stupid

tbh im just bitter that his (imo) better plays get less love than this one, its way over hyped

but I will give it points for boring me so much that I wrote my first fanfic (Romeo x Mercutio if you're curious ... no its not posted anywhere and it never will be <3)

sidenote -> Shakespeare plays I love incl:

Hamlet (duh im a depressed emo gay on Tumblr)

Macbeth (also duh, witches and female manipulator... need I say more)

Othello (a slow burn for the true crime girlies)

Measure for Measure (absolutely underrated, please please please look into this play -> I saw a production of it and it was incredible)

any chance of rating the posters? cue eyes emoji

*cracks knuckles* let's GO!

(I've included some posters from the EPs and APs, otherwise this would be a very short list of like 4 posters)

LONG POST AHEAD!!!

Engineered Angst Full poster: 5/10. what's going on here?? Is the person in front going to an eye doctor with funky walls? And why does she kinds look like a Urbz DS render? So many question, no answers

Engineered Angst Red: 6/10. Better than the previous one imo, I like the sims' facial expression a lot! And this is a me problem, but it kind of reminds me of the promo clips of the virtual boy?? Y'know that nintendo console that only used red and black as its colors? Still pretty cool though!

Searing Indifference: 7/10 Angsty teen poster number 3. Honestly? Iconic, this is one of those posters that I still remember from playing the game when I was younger. I've always thought it was a band poster though. Nonetheless, it's a very cheesy poster but I just can't rate this any lower

"Civic Idol" by Adora Wall Arts: 7/10 AMAZING POSTER!! I'd say it's the best "emo/edgy" poster in the game. I'd only like to know what the hell that humanoid thing is. Also, the red thing looks wonky and apparently the white stripes are meant to say "Civic Idol". But the skyline and the moon look so great and the red stripe makes it look like dangerous and egdy. Kudos for the amazing composition of this one

Pets poster: 5/10. Cursed. For some reason, this poster looks much more jankier and pixelated than the others, even the basegame ones. Kinda simple, but it sorta does the job (Fun fact: this is one of the few posters that have variants! Which redeems it)

Revolutionary Rebellion poster: 8/10. Really cool! I love the hard red with the black and white and is much less crispier than some other posters. In the build&buy description it says that we should check out the Sim with the moustache but honestly, I have no idea what that's about. At least it looks pretty nice! Kent, Nervous and Moustache Mercutio is my fave rockband

"It's Reggae, Mon" Poster: 9/10. Really pretty!! I love the posing of this guy and with the sun flare and background it's one of the most beautiful posters available! Also, seeing the previous music posters' description, I thought the devs would've made fun of the genre since they also did that with the teenage angst posters. But I think it's actually really nice and cool what they wrote about reggae music so I've included it for you to read

"Fists of Bunny" poster: 8/10. I think this might be an anime reference or something? Or is this what the Social Bunny does when he's not with a sim? Just anime kicking in the Void? I don't get the reference, but it does look cool! Would I hang this up in my actual room? Probably yeah! And I like that it's the Social Bunny, we don't see the guy that often in the Build&Buy

Inverted Vertigo, Cover art: 5/10. What the hell is going on here??? Hands??? light strokes? Some people? A face??? This reminds when I discovered blending layers in a drawing program for the first time honestly.

All the alien posters: 8/10 Tumblr limits me to only upload 10 images, so these guys are getting grouped. Hell yeah! Alien posters! These look cool as hell, HD quality next to the pets poster. I don't know how to feel about the way too human alien head on the left though, it kinda freaks me out, because for the sims 2 this is far too realistic. And apparently the guy on the surfboard is PT#9 cousin, RT#66 surfing through the galaxy, good for him! These posters are rad as hell in my opinion, especially after some rather small and pixelated ones.

That's gonna be it for the poster review! There's an image limit of 10 and because I have the Super Collection I don't have all the posters, so there isn't gonna be a part 2 from me. If anyone else feels like completing this list with all the posters form the Ultimate Collection or make their own review with the posters, feel free to do so!

These were just my opinions on the posters, if you have others thoughts on the posters that's fine, your opinion is valid!

[gaybarbiegirl]

retj for the fandom ask and obviously you get to differenciate the character by 2010 retj or italian retj <33 or if it's not enough characters you can take french musicals as a whole it Works

Let's go girl!! I'll try to stick to retj as much as possible here but if I feel like there's an item that fits another musical better we're making a little switch

Blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Italian Mercutio my beloved!! You know I absolutely love him girl!! His energy is spot on, and his personality, sluttiness and little crush on Romeo were amazing. I couldn't focus on anything else whenever he was on screen because he just stole the show that hard, and the fact that he managed to make me cry laugh AND almost scream with excitement AND to break my heart in just one single scene still has me in awe. He's the absolute best, Shakespeare wishes he wrote him <3

Scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Italian Romeo my wholesome dumbass boy!! He was so so sweet and I mean so was Juliet, but maybe because he got more focus as a character I feel like specifically his little crush on Juliet could really nail down that energy of a sweet, innocent first love that never should have ended this way. He was very cute and earnest and very naive and oblivious too and it just makes for a very lovable mix.

Scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

I'm going with Benvolio for this one. I totally understand why he's the least popular of the main characters and ends up a little forgotten, he really doesn't have the big personalities of Mercutio and Tybalt or the intense dramatic storylines of Romeo and Juliet, but he's still a very good voice of reason character to have around and the official braincell holder of the group. AND he sings the saddest song in the entire musical that I also absolutely love so you know, I really appreciate what he adds to the story.

Glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

Sorry to break away from retj but Leia from La Légende du Roi Arthur my beloved!!! I swear this character is so funny because I mean really she does fuck all the entire musical and she's still my favorite. Like she stands around Morgana and Guinevere pretty often, she does little evil grins at the audience while the other villains are doing the action part, at one point she picks a handkerchief off the ground and then places it back on the ground a few cm to the left...................... and yet. It's the power of being a hot goth dancer I guess.

Poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Girl you know how this goes if you said pathetic fave you said italian Tybalt absolutely <3 little loser emo kid who has a wolf inside him and it's himself, what else could I ask for here?

Horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Can I just say Tybalt again 😭 though to shake things up I'm going with 2010 Tybalt this time, and I mean judging by what we saw in the musical at every minor inconvenience this guy goes on a long musical soliloquy about how his parents didn't love him where the chorus is just him repeating his own name so. Yeah I'm in for a fun time here.

Eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Girl I genuinely have no clue I don't think there were any musical characters yet that I've hated this much.

Thank you so much for the ask!!!

#let's go finally taking the time to clear up my inbox #also you gotta love how this is just retj feat. leia #but i mean it's what she deserves #thank you for the ask girl love youu <33 #and i love getting the chance to talk about our little musicals

[twoheadedoddity]

i vastly reccomend going to see a play sometimes. not only is it good enrichment, but sometimes a community production of Romeo and Juliet will have all the actors in historical clothing except for romeo and mercutio, who were dressed like emo and alt teenagers.

#rambles #text #shakespeare

[ellc-antlers]

Mhm currently writing a Mercutio fic where it’s Romeo and Juliet in a modern setting, Capulets and Montegues are rival gangs. The story is from Benvolio’s prospective. When Mercutio gets injured defending Benvolio after Tybalt’s transphobic remarks Benvolio decides to load the passed out Mercutio into his car to run away and fake his death so they can live in peace away from his family’s rivalry.

I feel so bad for my English teacher bc this is not what I was meant to get from the Romeo and Juliet unit.

#Mercutio is emo #I probably won’t post it but I want y’all to be posted on my current weirdness #benvolio x mercutio #mercutio x benvolio #bencutio

[superspeare]

Mercutio, walking in with a boombox on his shoulder that's blasting "Let It Snow": HEY!!!!!!!

Val, putting on dark makeup: It's. September.

Mercutio, gesturing to Val: Well, if Halloween came early, I have to push Christmas up too.

All The World's a Stage, So Am I Playing God?

They want to see you flourish like a god...but they don't worship you if you get far.

When you are finally ready to ascend, they don't let you go out of love?

Do they really love you or what?

"If you love me, let me go"

No truer words have been said, no more passionate blood has been shed,

love will always win but sometimes you have to sin

I am. In the midst to transcend, onto my higher being in the end.

I am that, I am!

I guess you realize, that sometimes love does blind. I guess you realize that love does bind

It's ironic that friends, get treated better than your dearest

It's insane that fiends, get thought of better than your nearest

So what's the point of being loved, if in the end they keep you in a cage.

Only free to go, as long as they know, where is the end of the stage

Always keeping you on a leash, oh the hypocrisy

Performing for a live crowd of a mere human, yet never giving the attention to their number one fan

I was fluid with my own fears and boundaries, but when I ask the same in return, I was just bound to this...diary.

Love, true love, doesn't come from a place of ego, that's why I plead you to let me go

You want to see me succeed? Well hey, I have needs, I've been crying and begging on my knees

It might seem superficial to you, but that's when I needed you the most.

You see all of my strengths not weaknesses, but keeping me at arms length, is that what this is?

Am I too “pure” to be normal? Am I too precious to share? Am I just being hormonal, are you too selfish to care?

Yet I'm an animal stuck in captivity, so limited to activity

My agoraphobia is no joke, I might even die from a killer one, and tha da duh dah duh dua that'll be all folks

Laughing all the way like Mercutio

"Ask for me to-morrow, and you shall find me a grave man."

But my name is Antonio

I want to change my perspective from a tragedy to a comedy. Go from toxic lies to brutal honesty

Dying from the most basic human need. I just plead to be free, with understanding and sympathy

But Rome wasn't built in a day, that's why I also need you, I pray

To help me right at this very stage, behind the scenes until I show up in an iconic phase

The one that only you and few have seen, don't keep me to yourself, I plead 

My mind, heart, and soul have to be shared with the world, to all the fluid genders, boys, and girls

We all have our stage fright, but I'm ready for a fight. You'll be my stage manager or hand, I just need a hand

The show must go on, but I don't want to leave you behind, please help me on this grind

I'm screaming for a battle cry, I need my real friends to not be shy

I need you the most, if you love me...be my Ron and Hermione

I can't do it alone, you are part of this too...

Always yours, Antonio

I am the chosen one, that's why you call me Neo

#encouragement #emo #Mercutio Antonio #Comedy not tragedy #Poem #Poetry #mentalhealth #mental illness #mental health #anxiety depression agoraphobia #agoraphobia #not feeling good #i don't want to leave you but right now is when i really need you #i'm on the verge of growing but need my real friends to support me #support

[hhuta]

I haven't watched all of it yet. But what I got so far. I love it! And Romeo is adorable puppy.Mercutio looks like Fili from the Hobbit. Tybalt I love his look. Him I don't how to feel about him I like him? And the King I am not sure about him. To I like or crush on him?-Emo dink

i knOOWWW romeo had no business being cute 😔

NOT THIS HOBBIT GUYYYYDLKJALKSDL 

and i feel u. i didnt really think about tybalt yet... and it looks like his character changes a lot depending on the adaption, it looked like he really didnt care about juliet at all in the italian production so his motivations seem different. idk. i gotta think more, but yes i love his look. its my favourite tybalt look so far

trying veRY HARD TO NOT JUDGE U LIKING THE SKUNK HAIR GUY!111!! DLKJASLKL ur blinded by his tits oh my god 😔😔😔 as a character... idk. i really dont know anything lmao it looks like he wants to do The Right Thing and keep everyone in check? listen i never studied romeo and juliet like i said before 🏃‍♂️

#i only recently found out mercutio is related to the prince #my royal child <3 #asks #emo dink anon

[midasinc]

les mis tween era hcs

-combeferre rockets up skyward, like oh my god this kid grows so fast in his tweens. and has the knobbiest of knees. this is also around when his eyes go to shit, so he has to get a pair of really thick and nerdy glasses. he's very insecure and tries going without them, but he is literally borderline blind and eventually gives up due to the blurriness and the migraines

-courfeyrac is the kid that wears all neon. he's also 100% class clown type because he really wants attention from multiple sources at once. this often gets him kicked to the hallway, but he's surprisingly really smart and gets very high grades despite all this

-enjolras is still an average height (but he grows taller than combeferre during the first two years of high school- his bones ache, dude) but has super crooked teeth and gets braces put on for the first time when he's 12. he doesn't speak for a week straight because he's not adjusted to them yet and has a lisp. he learns to deal with it, but the lisp is definitely there until he's 15. he's also got the worst case of puberty explosiveness ever- you piss him off and he turns into mount vesuvius

-bossuet's alopecia actually triggers when he turns 13. it's a huge blow to his self-esteem, but grantaire (who he's known since forever) shaves his head in solidarity and it really, really helps him pick back up. he also accidentally sets off a fire alarm somehow every single year- bossuet ends up in the principal's office very, very frequently despite being a very sweet kid

-joly is an anime kid. he's going around asking people if they've ever seen cowboy bebop and everybody else is like "dude what are you even saying". he's the shortest kid in his grade and kids make fun of him often for his clubbed foot, but joly doesn't let it hurt him. he keeps to himself and hums as he reads manga during lunch

-marius is a dork. he's got the knobby knees, the big ears, he is the goofiest kid you've ever seen. he has really poor social skills and joins student gov't, but there's this terrifying blonde kid who yells at him the first day and marius quits out of fear to avoid him for the rest of his life. he's also such a teacher pet and the "you forgot to give out the homework :(" student

-feuilly moves around a lot between foster homes and he's very angsty as a kid because he feels really alone. he gets really bad grades and winds up in the counselor's office because he won't explain himself. like marius, he's got big ol' ears and his face is splattered in hundreds of freckles. he wishes he has more friends and is going through a super mario 64 speedrunning phase. after school, he plays games instead of hanging out with people his age

-jehan and eponine are in a creative writing club. she likes to write happy endings to her stories, and jehan writes the EDGIEST poetry you have EVER heard. each one is objectively terrible and they believe they are the next sylvia plath.

-musichetta is always in the library. she hits her growth spurt early, like combeferre, and towers over the girls and boys in her class. she always feels a bit out of place and chooses rather to spend her lunch period with the librarians. they think she's funny for a kid and even let her file away books and keep some of the copies they plan to throw out (she's slowly collecting all of their books in the animorphs series)

-bahorel ends up in the principal's office a lot too for fights. he's always ending up in them, and when he's 12 somebody knocks out his two front teeth. to this day, his front biters are prosthetics (he likes to prank people with them in his twenties, so it's both a blessing and a curse). he's also on the junior wrestling team! bahorel grows more outward than he does upward and he puts it to good use, if you asked him. he's on the brink of his emo/punk phase, and he's listening to a CD of black sabbath every night because he thinks he's so cool

-grantaire is so edgy. but like- oh no his dandruff. this kid does not shower. it's so bad. when he shaves his head, it's actually a blessing because now he doesn't have greasy hair hanging in his eyes. he's not quite in his extroverted era yet, instead being really shy and uneasy around the other kids. bossuet is his only friend and he kinda follows him around like a lost dog. he's in an art club and he makes the edgiest art you've ever seen- but only in an anime style. in their later years, he and joly bond over being the anime kids at their schools

-cosette is homeschooled! she's an extrovert and a ball of energy and because she is almost never around real people, her social skills are WEIRD. this poor girl oh my god she has no idea how to make normal conversations and she has no idea. she's also super into acting at this time and runs through lines of shakespeare with valjean. she loves to do the mercutio death scene- she always makes his final breath this goofy and ridiculous gasp that makes valjean laugh.

Sul Sul Simmers, today we will continue with the "Cobycobs Millenium Makeovers" series, a series inspired by @simstralia​ 2kl8 . In the previous chapter we made looks from the years 1999 and 2000. The day we will travel to the year 2002.

I chose the teens from Veronaville (Including Paris Wilson and Natsuki Hashimoto) as they give me a LOT of 2002 vibes (Strangertown and Pleasantview teens give me 2002 and 2003 vibes).

For this looks I was inspired a lot by Britney Spears (For Juliette), Christina Aguilera (For Miranda), Ayumi Hamasaki, Brad Pitt (For Tybalt), Paris Hilton and A-teens (For Puck / Romeo).

Romeo Monty (Has a lot of Justin Timberlake vibes)

Mercutio Monty (I really gave him a motorcyclist look).

Juliette Capp (Britney Spears vibes in the movie Crossroads, I left her Uggs, since they seem super iconic in her).

Hermia Capp (Hermia made this a bit difficult for me hehe, as she wanted to give it an "Emo chic / gothic" look)

Tybalt Capp (maximum Brad Pitt vibes)

Miranda capp (Xtina Aguilera vibes in her "Stripped" era)

Puck summerdream (NSYNC / A-teens member vibes).

Natsuki Hashimoto (I wanted to recreate an Ayumi Hamasaki outfit in the "Dearest" video, but decided to give it a more casual look).

Paris Wilson (Actually, she looks a bit like Paris Hilton)

From now on I will try to include a collage of outfits that I was inspired by:

(Excuse my collage made in paint, the truth was I was very excited by this look that I made this Collage quickly hehe. Here you can see several Outfits of the year 2002)

I hope you liked it!!

[edettethegreat]

Review of Romeo X Juliet (the anime adaption of Romeo and Juliet, VERY loosely based off of the original play)

Well I think it’s gonna be kinda long, so I’m gonna put a cut right here.

OK.

What it got right/ what was in there that was in the actual play:

Romeo and Juliet are from two opposing families (Montague and Capulet). They fall in love with each other. There are some other characters who also exist.  

What was in there that was NOT in the actual play:

Literally everything and anything else. This is not an exaggeration in the least bit. Juliet grows wings at some point. And maybe turns into an actual tree.

So. What’s Romeo X Juliet about?

The basic Premise:

Montague (not the whole family- just Romeo’s father) is the main antagonist. He kills out the entire Capulet family when Juliet is a child, but somehow Juliet is rescued. Juliet spends the next like 13-14 year of her life pretending to be a boy by the name of Odin to hide from Montague, and also does vigilante work, because life isn’t so good under Montague’s rule. Oh yeah, Montague’s like. The king or something. 

There are also characters from other Shakespeare plays there. And Shakespeare himself is a character. 

The Characters:

Characters who aren’t from Romeo and Juliet (but are from other Shakespeare plays):

Shakespeare himself- he’s literally just Shakespeare himself. Just chilling, watching the whole plot go down. 

Emilia- an actress in Shakespeare’s acting troupe

Regan- a servant girl working for Shakespeare’s mother’S family.

Cordelia- I think she’s like. A servant to the Capulet family? Who got away with Juliet when Montague killed them off? Anyway she’s Plot relevant. She marries Benvolio.

Ophelia- oh boy. Where do I even start. OK you know what? I’ll get to this when I get up to Escalus. Just. Scroll to where I talk about Escalus.

Petruchio- he’s pretty irrelevant- he only exists for one episode, and then he dies a tragic death

Hermione- the girl Romeo’s engaged to. 

Characters that are actually from Romeo and Juliet: 

(In the order of easiest to explain to hardest to explain)

Juliet- Ok. She’s the main character. She does vigilante work until she can’t anymore. 

Romeo- literally just Romeo. Exactly what you’d expect from Romeo. He doesn’t do anything mind blowing. I mean, he does try to kill Montague, but everyone tries to kill Montague because he’s basically a dictator.

Lady Montague- I think she went off to become a nun or something, because she didn’t like that her husband was basically a dictator who goes around murdering people. She’s nice. I liked her.

Benvolio- not the brightest guy. Really. He and his family gets exiled because his father disagreed with something Montague said. Ends up marrying Cordelia.

Mercutio- one of the antagonists, but literally the worst one. He decides to betray Romeo and join Team Antagonists because I think he wanted power or something? It wasn’t entirely clear. He then betrays his father to Montague, and Montague kills his father. Then Montague tells him that he’s totally better than Romeo and he could totally replace him as Montague’s son. So you’re probably thinking “hey that sounds a lot like that one part of Edmund’s arc”- BUT IT’S NOT- Mercutio is about 0% dedicated to any of this and is a huge coward. Then he tries to kill Romeo. That doesn’t work out. Then he kills Montague and goes mad. I don’t know why he does any of this. I don’t think he himself knows why he does any of this. Also he’s *really* annoying. (Literally just go watch it- you’ll see- he’s *so* annoying.)

Montague- OK SO. This fellow here has actually a tragic backstory that motivates his evilness. Listen to this wild ride of of a story: So. Capulet (not Juliet’s father- her grandfather or great grandfather or someone else related but not her father) had a affair with some lower class lady, and MONTAGUE WAS THE RESULT. YES. THAT’S RIGHT. I HAVE ANOTHER TRAGIC SAD LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE BASTARD TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION. Anyway. Montague just wanted to kill out the whole Capulet family as revenge. Sounds fair enough. So he gets adopted or something by the Montague family, kills out the people ahead of his until he’s the heir (I think?), and then goes on a killing spree with the Capulet family. Then he becomes. Like. An evil dictator. That lowers his coolness by a large percentage. He was pretty neat before, but I’m not so pro-evil dictators. 

Tybalt- HOLD ON. IF YOU THOUGHT MONTAGUE’S STORY WAS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY BUT GREAT NONETHELESS, THEN BEHOLD THE STORY HERE.  Ok so. He’s introduced when he suddenly appears out of nowhere being super mysterious. Juliet was doing some vigilante work, and it looked like she was about to get caught, and he swoops in and saves the day. And Juliet’s all like “who on earth are you?” And he basically says “the name’s Tybalt- I’m loyal to the Capulet family- that’s all you gotta know”. (He might also tell her that he’s her cousin- idk). Anyway. He spends most of the time being mysterious and kinda emo, and hating Montague. Until his tragic backstory is revealed. BASICALLY. You know how I mentioned Montague was climbing the rankings in the Montague family? So at that time, the Montagues and Capulets weren’t really enemies or anything. So they hung out. And while climbing the ranks, he ended up courting a Capulet- Juliet’s mom’s sister. THAT’S RIGHT. TYBALT IS THE SON OF MONTAGUE AND A CAPULET. ANOTHER BOTH LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE BASTARD. I HAD NO IDEA THERE WOULD BE ONE, LET ALONE TWO. YOU ALL KNOW THAT’S MY FAVORITE TYPE OF CHARACTER. 

Me, when the Montague and Tybalt reveals happened:

And onto the absolute craziest change made to any character ever-

Escalus- He’s. He’s a tree. A physical tree. I’m not even kidding. I wish I was. He’s a physical magical tree, that magically sustains the world. Ophelia (remeber I said I’ll explain her when I explain Escalus?) is the magical guardian of this magical tree. The tree is sustained by the women of the Capulet family occasionally sacrificing themselves to merge with the tree or something? Towards the end of the show the world starts literally collapsing around everyone, and Ophelia is like “hey Juliet the only way to save the world is for you to sacrifice yourself and come merge with the tree. If not the everyone will literally die.”

And Juliet’s like “yeah sounds fair”. But Romeo’s like “NO! I love you! You will not merge with a tree!” 

And Ophelia’s like “um. Literally everyone will die if she doesn’t.” And Romeo’s like “But at least we’ll die together!!”. So Ophelia and Romeo fight each other and they both kill each other. Then Juliet’s like “welp since romeo’s already dead, i may as well die too.” And (I think??) merges with the tree? Also she grows wings. Anyway. That’s that. That’s the show. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

OTHER THINGS- Mainly about Tybalt because I love him (more specifically- I love emo vigilante Tybalt, but the play version of angry rich boy Tybalt)

-When Romeo finds out that Tybalt is kinda his brother, he’s like “oh cool! You’re my brother now!” And Tybalt is like “huh. Yeah, I guess you’re right”- and from there onward they are 100% committed to being brothers. 

-There’s this one scene where Tybalt, Romeo, and Juliet all simultaneously decide “yup Im gonna go kill Motague. I have the biggest right to kill him. He’s for me to kill”. So Tybalt gets there first and is like “PLOT TWIST I’M YOUR SON!” And draws his sword. Then Romeo enters and is like “YOUR REIGN OF TYRANNY IS OVER!” And draws his sword. And then Juliet comes in and is like “I AM JULIET OF THE HOUSE OF CAPULET!”. And then Juliet decides not to kill him, because Mercy (TM). And then Mercutio comes in and stabs him, because (here’s a bit of the plot I forgot to mention) Montague sent him to hold off the rebellion (The Capulet’s team+ most of the citizens), and Mercutio epically failed. So he was like “the citizens will kill me if I go to them. And Montague will kill me if I go to him. Welp. I guess I have to kill him.” Then Mercutio goes mad. Because why not.

-Benvolio and Mercutio have literally nothing to do with each other. I don’t think they ever even speak. What 

-everyone rides around on these dragons with wings called Dragon Steeds.

-Also instead of it taking place in Verona, it takes place in Neo-Verona. A floating city miles above ground. 

-I think that’s it
