I dislike that people think Romeo and Juliet were truly in love and I'm not going to say because they were dumb horny teenagers they might have been but that's not why I think their not in love I think it's because they never had enough time to fall in love, they got married less then twenty four hours of knowing each other that is not nearly enough time to fall in love.

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

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

Everyone, we can fix Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet if we just switch the leads.

Romeo wakes up in Hamlet's body and meets the ghost of "his" father telling him to kill his uncle. So if course Romeo just fucking does it, because he never considers consequences, and then gets onto more important shit, like romancing Ophelia, political fallout be damned! But given that he's the son of the murdered king, he'd probably end up on top.

Hamlet wakes up as Romeo and is told that he can't marry the love of his life because his family hates her family. Instead of killing Tybalt and getting Merucio murdered, he's planning elaborate meet-cutes for the two warring families. He's putting on plays about blood feuds and how to overcome them. He either succeeds in bringing the families together or bores Juliet enough with his indecision that the glow wears off and she moves on; both positive options. Everybody lives.

I really do think that it’s good for the soul to be unironically pretentious about something. Not in a gatekeeping kind of way but in a “yes, it really is that deep and I would love to enthusiastically and passionately explain why” kind of way.

#mine is shakespeare #hamlet #specifically #although i will defend #romeo and juliet #to the ends of the earth #also #the iliad #the odyssey #literature #writing #classics #although it can be so much more than just books #i also think that I would defend the story of kingdom hearts like this as well #probably homestuck too #completely unironically #birdy chirps

One thing that I hate while reading Romeo and Juliet is that I have so many assumptions and biases going into this because romeo and juliet is just one of stories everyone's hears about over and over again from other people who have never read/seen it either I wish I could have seen this show back when he first wrote it without knowing anything or having been told what to see

#rosaline has me fascinated #like already im starting to see maybe romeo isnt the dude i always imagined he was??? #and their relationship #like this is clearly different from modern interpretations and im so mad that i have my own biases about him and their relationship going in #but im starting to see some of the things my mom said about it when i was younger #i thought she was just making stuff up to be different lmao #romeo and juliet #romeo and juliet Shakespeare #shakespeare #william shakespeare
