no but i need everyone to understand just how much i am obssesed with that last interaction between Posa and Elisabeth. and when i say obssesed - i mean OBSESSED.

#i just!!! nnnnngnfhhghhh #i always have to stop for a moment after this scene because i need to get myself together. i always break down crying like a little bitch. #its about rodrigo treating everyone as his little pawns even if he'd never admit it #it's about him enforcing on elisabeth that love for carlos without giving a shit if she actually does love him it doesn't matter to him #carlos needs it. carlos needs to be loved. he needs to KNOW he's being loved because otherwise he'll wither and die #and rodrigo wont be able to give him that knowledge because he'll be FUCKING DEAD so it falls unto elisabeth whether she wants it or not #he forces that duty onto her and she never actually consedes. she says her heart will guide her love but this is so fucking vague #and i have my own headcanons about all this but nevermind #and then the!!!!!!! the calling him out on his bullshit happens #and it's like aiehdjdjdjdjdjdaehjddidhhrjrasgdgehehagagsdgrh single best moment in the entire play #AND THEN #'go. nevermire shall i respect a man' #'oh queen oh god HOW LOVELY STILL IS LIFE' SHUT UP FUCK OFF GO GO DIE ALREADY I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS OH GOD #and just. i could cry for hours over every single verse of that scene. it makes wanna bite down on some bricks. #no other play has ever destroyed me as much as this atrocity i hate it i hate it i hate it #don carlos #don karlos #schiller #also rodrigo MUST cry during this scene. if he doesnt - it all goes to shit. #boy gotta be going through a total mental breakdown. he needs to be absolutely fucking pathetic when he asks her to love carlos #why? because i say so. because thats how it plays out in my head. because thats where i absolutely lose my shit and need to be resuscitated #anyway. yeah. #ok gonna go back to the play now. ive cooled off a little
