📜 We finalized the cast list for my Shakespeare company’s production of ~Julius Caesar~ today and it always astonishes me how many university students genuinely want to perform Shakespeare. and how many of those people are just absolutely genius actors directing their full power at Shakespeare, of all things. we’re all just a bunch of nerds performing 400 year old plays, but it makes me so happy 📜

@funky-sea-cryptid asked me to draw their Malcolm (she/they, I think?) a while back, so here they are! We used to lean in quite heavily toward the potential Norse culture of Malcolm’s mother Suthen, so I decked them out in a fun Norse dress fit for a king/queen :)

Antonio from the Merchant of Venice is in love with Bassanio (and Portia knows)
EVIDENCE:
Act 1, Scene 1: when Salarino guesses Antonio is in love (context: "in sooth I know not why I'm so sad"), Antonio is quick to deny this. Too quick, if you ask me.
Act 1, Scene 3: Antonio basically promises his life to his mortal enemy in exchange for 3000 ducats, just to make Bassanio happy.
Act 2, Scene 8: The entire damn exchange between Salanio and Salarino. Like what the actual hell? "I think he loves the world only for him [Bassanio]"
Act 3, Scene 3: So Antonio is imprisoned. He believes he's gonna die. And he's okay with it. AS LONG AS HE SEES BASSANIO FIRST. HE LAST WISH IS TO SEE BASSANIO HAPPY AND DIE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT HE WAS THE REASON BASSANIO FOUND HAPPINESS.
Act 3, Scene 4: Lorenzo, seriously? "How dear a lover of my lord your husband..." lover? LOVER? in every other case of friendship, the words Brother or just simply, Friend is used. But lover? Shakesqueer be like, "No, let's reserve these for my two precious pookies"
Act 4, Scene 1: I'd give actual money to see Portia's exact expression during this scene. Like, what would be her exact reaction when Bassanio says shit like "my life, my wife, and all the world is absolutely zero, unimportant, insignificant in front of you, bro" and after that (AFTER THAT) when Antonio Literally says "bid her be judge, whether Bassanio had not once a love". What would Portia be feeling then?
Act 4, Scene 1: Bassanio- No, my wife says no. I will never give you this ring. Antonio- * winks flirtatiously * Bassanio- TAKE THE DAMN RING
Act 5: Portia gives Antonio a ring and tells him to give it to Bassanio when she could've just given it to him herself.
