Actually Did A Proper Background For Once.

What she says: I'm fine

What she means: in act 1 Macbeth and his wife are physically apart, they obviously don't hear each other's soliloquies but they always know each other's thoughts, they are quite literal partners in crime (and in greatness), which makes it all the more jarring when in 3.2 they are on stage together, talking to each other, and even assuming each other's language to a point where there's an obvious sense of déjà-vu, and yet their understandings are exactly opposite, marking the beginning of the end and the breakdown of communication between them. In other words arguably what destroys them is the role-reversal that makes each of them too much like the other and leaves them vulnerable to new flaws and fears, which in turn leaves room for the guilt and paranoia to filter in, and just like that the most intimate marriage in all of Shakespeare's theatre is done for. They will never be intimate again. I could just about scream.

Do you ever start to panic for no reason just to realise that you haven’t been breathing? Sometimes I feel like I’m going to have a panic attack out of nowhere and then I just start breathing again and I’m fine. What’s up with that?? I didn’t even notice I stopped breathing in the first place

my little cousin confidently declared that mother nature had a counterpart named daddy electric and i feel like this concept needs to be explored

been thinking about appearances and stuff

Maurice: I have shared with Alec

Clive, AN INTELLECTUAL: Shared what?

(I mean, I don't know Clive, maybe his toothpaste? His disappointment in you? Who knows Clive who knows🤡)

(But what we do know is that the D in Durham stands for Dumbass)

It looks gorgeous <3

Throwback to this portrait of Astrid that I painted in 2018 and recently edited 💛 I miss painting her.

a plague angel :]

Not to be a cunt, but second hand dysphoria is a you problem. It is not the problem of whoever is "giving" you second hand dysphoria.

Femme trans men, transmascs, and enbies existing and loving themselves and their bodies not harmful.

Masc trans women, transfemmes, and enbies existing and loving themselves and their bodies is not harmful.

If you are triggered by a transmasc who fits the soft eboy look, or a transfemme who fits the butch lesbian vibe, that is your responsibility to deal with it. Not theirs.

Secondhand Dysphoria is not the other person's fault.

a pin up version of my plague doctor :3

much ado about nothing it's still PEAK FICTION even after 400 years like Benedick and Beatrice can't stand each other so much that they can't even say "pass me the salt" without inserting some slander and then their friends one day wake up and think "what if we pair Benedick and Beatrice up, for fun, just to kill time" and so they make Benedick believe he is accidentally overhearing their conversation and it's all about how Beatrice secretly loves Benedick so much that she spends her nights crying screaming shitting throwing up and they think it may kill her so Benedick straight up say "so they're serious. Well, her love? It's required. Now I am gonna get a portrait of her".

How do you guys even DARE to say that you hate classics bc they're boring when Shakespearen plays walked so that modern romcoms could run
