The reaction of the Danish after seeing milions of warriors, all wielding weapons made entirely out of garlic bread, & riding dragons, fly in & attack Copenhagen.

★Le comte Paris revient👑🌹🗣️★

Le Comte Paris👑✨, se couvrir de parfum🌹💗 pour séduire Juliette au bal des Capulet🎭🕺❗

a-t-il réussi🗣️? Je me suis demandé… mais non ! Juliette est déjà tombée amoureuse de Roméo.💙❤️, trop tard, Paris. 🎶☠️

i just found out that mercutio sings “la vie n’est pas un théâtre” alongside tybalt in the french revival and im going to make it everyone’s problem (not heard on the studio recording, but rather live)

he takes the lower harmony on that line, a stark contrast to what he usually sings. mercutio sings high and bold (see: the high F in la folie, riffing in les beaux, les laids and les rois du monde). not only that, but he harmonizes it softly, almost weakly, drowned out by tybalt's belt.

both tybalt and mercutio sing "life is not a theatre".

it's spoken like conformation. that in spite of his theatrical disposition, he understood that life wasn't the carnival of love that other people parade it to be. when he's stabbed, his charade of carelessness falters to reveal the pessimism that was once treated as foolish ramblings in je reve. no matter how much he tries to play up his whimsicality, he's a cynic that has always understood that death and tragedy was inevitable for the men that live on their knees. should he dies, he dreams, right?

but it's also a realization. it's an audible show that tybalt has overpowered his exuberance with the harsh revelation that tybalt is going to kill him. that he is going to die. that this is no longer a game. that this thing between him and tybalt isn't just teasing and empty threats anymore.

he spends a majority of the musical dancing on the edge of a sword. the goings-ons of his enemies his personal little drama. he has these wild dreams and this untouchable fearlessness that he uses to feel above it all. he may know that life is miserable no matter who you are, he may know that he's the king of nothing, but just knowing that and embracing his self proclaimed insanity is what allows him a semblance of control.

but then he's hit with the terrifying realization that life is not a theatre. things don't work out like they do in plays. life isn't as fanciful as it is in fiction. the blood isn't fake, the sun isn't a spotlight, there are no bows or encores, he doesn't get to pick himself up when the lights go dark, he is going to die. the stab sobers him, forcing him to understand that he isn't invincible. and of course, he tries, he stands with a flourish and claims he can't be harmed but madness can't save him from the cold truth of mortality.

and of course, the irony that it is a theatre. the audience gets to watch behind the safety of the pit band, free to laugh, cry, disengage, watch as the characters are forced to acknowledge that death is their reality and there is no leaving after the curtains close. the actors do, but mercutio's blood still stains the streets of verona. he does not get that luxury.

so just by singing "life is not a theatre" the way he did, mercutio becomes a cynic whose pessimism is confirmed no matter how hard he plays jester. or he's a man who thought he'd never die suddenly realizing he's just as vulnerable as the people he mocks. if anything, he's probably both.

either way is tragic. but what's even more tragic is that it probably isn't that deep and they just wanted to add a harmony to sound nice. but it has beautiful and tragic intent to ME

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

help this video was the most specific callout of all time

for some reason like all my favorite long fanfics end in the two main lovers holding hands. i don't know why. i don't know how. but it's a really cute coincidence and i love it.

first time drawing resj mercutio third time drawing resj benvolio hehe

forgor to post this redraw of that one thingy

I had the original saved... and then I deleted it 😭

hot take that shouldn’t be hot:

asexual/aromantic/aspec people who are also cis and straight should be welcomed and accepted in the queer community

Bencutio PMV :D

Forgot to include a blood warning

Song - Absence by Rio Romeo

inspired by this pmv by ochiody!

Being asexual but then also having Mercutio as my favorite character is the real struggle

got a hand cramp while drawing this he will pay for it

Goodmorning Bencutio fans

Okay here’s an ask game

Send me a ship and I’ll answer three questions based on if I ship it or not.

Ship It

What made you ship it?

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Don’t Ship It

Why don’t you ship it?

What would have made you like it?

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

Aro culture is headcanoning some of the most commonly shipped (or nowadays only known for a ship in the fandom) characters as aromantic. I will "ruin your fun" by having my own :3 and no I don't care if there's implications some (one) might be canon CUZ ITS ONLY IMPLICATION AND NOT FACT!!!

.

guys I still do draw

I physically cant take bencutio angst seriously atm so have this instead

“Lily Potter”

Do not disrespect my queen like that. Lily Evans is an independent woman and an icon and she has her own last name.

just wrote a gay fanfic in latin. 9/10 can reccomend. might share it here later. depends on how i feel.

My hot take of the day is that a loooot of the “twists” people add to performances of Romeo and Juliet are actually just Troilus and Cressida.

“I’m staging R+J but the central conflict has actual political implications, it’s not just a pointless feud” That’s Troilus and Cressida.

“R+J but they’re both adults” so, Troilus and Cressida.

“We’re adding a queer romance to R+J” like the one in Troilus and Cressida?

“R+J, but with a bigger ensemble cast” Troilus and C-
