the thing is that harold bloom likes falstaff more than most real people. and the other thing is i don’t like harold bloom

difficult to tell if he’s deepthroating shakespeare or falstaff harder

the thing about this play is we could let it die. "because it's misogynistic?" because it's so boring

is anyone going to diagnose vanessa wye with adhd or do i have to do it myself

two gents chapter uses the phrase "a hint of lesbo possibility." really awesome

i forgot that cade’s fake backstory is literally “uhhhhhhhhh i was a secret twin and i got stolen at birth”

folks, they're saying much of shakespeare is outshone by "i was standing right here, heather. i'll always be standing right here." many people are saying this, folks

sticky tabbing every page where he pisses me off

"I had a bone-deep conviction that this creature wouldn’t hurt me." OKAY. SO THERE'S NO TENSION THEN. SO WHAT ARE WE DOING

why is this girl disguised as a boy if it doesn't matter at all and no one in the plot has a problem with it

i want to enjoy this i just feel literally nothing about it

oh god not the YA heterosexual romance. banging my head against the wall

the thing is there are just so many better ways to use my time than the way i'm about to

was holding up pretty well throughout the readthrough until i hit "O, were mine eyeballs into bullets turned / That I in rage might shoot them at your faces!" unserious. are we for real

sir william lucy literally just shows up to lick boots im choosing to believe he was madly in love with talbot because why else would he talk about him Like That

every scene in this play starts the same way

EDMUND SPENSER MENTIONED?

gotta say. the british destroying a building called liberty hall to put down an uprising feels scathingly on the nose

“The rising was a theatrical gesture in arms. None of the leaders was under any illusion about the likelihood of military success. James Connolly told a trade union colleague, ‘Bill, we are going out to be slaughtered.’”

happy barricade day

fuck everybody else i only care about skippy. get out of there little dude :(

not to get too ooh-ah-up-the-RA about it but it is insane that most big names in the IRA died depressed and traumatized and suffering and yet these fucking people in the british government's spy services get to live to eighty years old helping their wives write "an inspirational book...about a show pony she had owned in her youth" hello? you should be in a fucking cage

i’m enjoying this but i have no evidence yet that it likes women

I, CLAUDIUS MENTIONED ⛳️

gerry adams is like irish leftist roy cohn

mention of mary mcaleese and my real first thought was “whoa from the seamus o’reilly ketamine thread…”

“After a stint in prison during the 1970s for kidnapping a disabled Catholic civilian and torturing him with a cattle prod, Nelson became an informant for the Force Research Unit [intelligence agency in the British government].”

okay. sure. why the hell not

Patrick Pearse: “Whatever soul searchings there may be among Irish political parties now or hereafter, we go in the calm certitude of having done the clear, clean, sheer thing.”

margaret thatcher you are one evil mf
