hamlet really is a nerd twink with daddy issues and depression huh
hamlet AU where ophelia is a psychotic closeted lesbian and she bonds w hamlet over their mutual gayness & rapidly declining mental health
you’re so right and im a fool
anyway ophelia is a mentally ill closeted femme lesbian as well as an abuse victim and her attraction to hamlet is comphet given that the boy is a fucking twink & also that hes the only person who has ever given her attention and manifested genuine interest for her in her whole entire life
i can’t stop fucking thinking about my english prof talking about the queer historical significance of the word “sweet” as a deliberate indicator of homosexual love and how that relates to both edward ii and gaveston, as well as hamlet and horatio. so, because shakespeare was likely totally knowledgeable about codes that queer men were using (cos like duh obvs), the inclusion of “sweet prince” at the end of hamlet is in all likelihood a completely deliberate indication that hamlet and horatio were in love
i’m???? so gay for literature and history lmao
my good sweet honey lord????
I WROTE A WHOLE PAPER ON THIS SHIT IN DOCTOR FAUSTUS HIT ME UP LITERALLY ANY TIME YO.
