potential zine/anthology idea: writers and artists creating works based on shakespeare’s sonnets. the goal would be to get through all the sonnets but that would obvs require multiple issues. this is just something i thought of rn but if anyone is actually interested in working on something like that 👀

Sonnet: *mildly explains that while his sonnet girlfriend doesn’t fit his society’s beauty standards, he still loves her just the way she is and thinks she is just as good than the other totally fake blonde-blue-eyed sonnet girlfriends*

These clowns: what a ROAST, lmao, is this supposed to be romantic???? typical dead white male. AITA-time whoop

#stop #william shakespeare #i don’t even know why i still read electric literature #also not at all accurate #OP has never heard of ‘i love to hear her speak’ or ‘reeks did not have a negative connotation in this period of time’ #and it shows #shakespeare clown takes #and bad comedy in general #let these clowns never discover rodgers & hart’s the lady is a tramp #sonnet 130 #shakespeare’s sonnets

no idea if it's my hormones, what I've seen in the news lately, the weight of living the past few years, or just because it's Judi Dench...but this impromptu performance really made me cry for a good ten minutes, no kidding.

I think it follows a certain poetic order of things that the sweater I have stolen from my father (who has also had it for years) should begin unraveling a bit at the sleeve just as I write my essay on Shakespeare’s Sonnet LXV – a sonnet describing how all things succumb to Time eventually, no matter how sturdy they may seem.

It’s a poem I recommend you read and, if you happen to be so inclined, analyse. I’m not very familiar with Shakespeare (didn’t study him much in school since I don’t live in an anglophone place), but I can say that this specific sonnet is definitely worth reading. And if you like the theme of art being the only way to make something immortal, then I can also wholeheartedly recommend Horace’s Odes (in particular Ode 30, III). Horace can sound a little conceited, but he was right: he IS remembered to this day for his skill, it wasn’t his personal delusion that it would be so.

I don’t expect this will be read by many, but I would love for more people to read poetry – it was held in such high regard for so long that we are today more inclined to overlook its brilliance than to notice it. So yeah, that’s why I wrote this. Enjoy the poems, they are the soul of human existence!

cranboo’s the kind of guy to get really stressed out about whether or not he’s suave and romantic enough with ctubbo so they try to memorize the entirety of shakespeare’s 18th sonnet (keyword: try) and dress up in ridiculous fancy clothes and then go anxiously hover underneath ctubbo’s window that night and message him like “hey um open the window please” and then when he does they stammer through the poem and like royally screw it up and maybe start crying a little and then ctubbo laughs and comes outside and tells them that he doesn’t need any fancy stuff like that and he loves them anyway so they go inside and have tea instead . ctubbo’s the kind of guy to get stressed out about whether or not he’s sweet enough to ranboo so he wakes them up in the middle of the night says “i like your face” and then goes back to sleep

Sun & Moon

#mitski is modern shakespeare for real #moon wlw and sun mlm solidarity #< that mitski song is about a woman and that shakespeare sonnet is about a man ! #my first thought with sun & moon was a good ol' 'the moon will sing' by crane wives / 'sunlight' by hozier / icarus and apollo / toxic love #but that's been done enough so fuck it we're doing transcendent eternal love. unfortunately of a heterosexual variety. #also I'm still playing around with layouts and things so I'm sure any future moodboards will look different #also also. yes I snuck in an anne of green gables quote. as is my right #moodboard #collage #web weave #light academia #romantic academia #dark academia #art #poetry #greek mythology #renaissance #baroque #mitski #william shakespere #selene and endymion #selene #apollo #sun and moon #sun and moon dynamic #renaissance art #painting #oil painting #pre raphaelite #pre raphaelism

My partner got Tim Downie to read this for me for Christmas and I wanted to share it with you all.

I'm speechless, still processing, so no commentary but I'll add the sonnet under the cut.

When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes,

I all alone beweep my outcast state,

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,

And look upon myself and curse my fate,

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,

Desiring this man’s art and that man’s scope

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee, and then my state,

(Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven’s gate;

       For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings

       That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

You are so strongly in my purpose bred

Sonnet XXIX

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd, Desiring this man's art and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least; Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state, Like to the lark at break of day arising From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
