King Lear, but it’s an Among Us AU where Edmund accuses everyone of being the imposter until Edgar and Albany figure out Edmund’s actually the imposter and vote him out
edmund murders gloucester in front of edgar and then vents away and blames him instead
(I genuinely thought I reblogged this already)
You are correct and I love this
(Alternatively- a while back I elaborated on Instagram with “Edmund’s like “Gloucester’s sus, guys. I heard he’s siding with Lear, and Lear’s been faking tasks”)
(But tbh yours is VERY valid and I love it)
(SIDEPOINT TO EVERYONE SEEING THIS POST WHO DIDN’T SEE EVERYTHING ELSE I POSTED TODAY: I’m writing this insanely long thing of how I’d stage King Lear to make Edmund 100% more sympathetic, and make Gloucester 100% less sympathetic. It’s very long and I’ve already spent over two hours on it. It should be finished either some time tonight or tomorrow. Brace yourselves. )
EDETTE IM SO READY
It’s 5,034 words long- the equivalent of 9 pages
And it’s linked right there for convenience
(Yes it’s long- but it doesn’t feel long (to me at least?) because it’s mostly in bullet point format)
UPDATE (11/22/2020): PART 1.5 IS NOW A THING TOO
edette this is insanely detailed you are a mad genius
Thank you I spent days on it
I was like “I’m gonna put a whole bunch of symbolism into it”
And then it ended up with a ton of sword symbolism and barely anything else
(Seriously 50% of it is just me talking about different character’s swords)
