Loving Shakespearean Characters is so annoying because YES I love Horatio NO I don’t know why (what does he even do other than put up with Hamlet’s stupidity?) YES I love Ophelia NO I don’t know why (what does she even do other than NOT put up with Hamlet’s stupidity?) YES I love Laertes NO I don’t know why (he’s cool but he did technically kill Hamlet) Yes it goes without saying I love Hamlet, No I don’t know why
And repeat this process for every single Shakespeare play.
Hamlet didn’t tell Horatio he’s a prince when they met because he assumed he already knew. Horatio didn’t know and tbh wouldn’t have become friends with him because he’s smart enough to know that becoming friends with a prince = a high probability of getting mixed up in unnecessary drama.
That’s it that’s the headcanon.
Hamlet AU where they’re playing Among Us, and Hamlet Sr. calls Hamlet to tell him Claudius is the imposter
On a scale of Hamlet to Gertrude, how good is your relationship with your partner’s brother?
(Ok- so this is barely a parody. It’s basically just the original song but with “mom” changed to “dad”.
Changes will be bolder so you can easily find them.
Original song (Dead Mom from Beetlejuice) linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEct4Nod2iU )
Hey dad, dead dad
I need a little help here
I’m prob'ly talking to myself here
But dead dad, I gotta ask
Are you really in the ground?
‘Cause I hear you all around me
Are you here, dead dad?
Dead dad
Dead dad,
I’m tired of trying to iron out my creases
I’m a bunch of broken pieces
It was you who made me whole
Every day they’re staring at me
Like all, “Hurry up, get happy
Move along
Forget about your dad”
'Cause mother’s in denial
Mother doesn’t wanna feel
She wants me to smile
And clap like a performing seal
Was faking for a while
But I might lose my mind for real
You won’t believe the mess that we’ve become
You’re my home
My destination
And I’m your clone
Your strange creation
You held my hand
And life came easy
Now jokes don’t land
And no one sees me
Nothing seems to fit
Father is this it?
Are you receiving?
I want something to believe in or I’ll go mad
They’ll soon ship me to England
or I’ll be here in Denmark
Call when vengeance can be had!
Mother’s moving forward
Mother didn’t lose a dad
Father won’t you send a sign?
I’m running out of hope and time
My two friends spied, My girlfriend died
Hope’s nowhere to be had
No more playing Uncle’s game
I’ll go insane if things don’t change
Whatever it takes ‘til vengeance can be claimed
Dead dad!
