Space, the final frontier.

That is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to explore

The strange new worlds of our outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a five-year mission

And, by opposing, end it. To go—to seek,

Once more; and by “to seek” to say we find

The new life and new civilizations

Where man has gone not: 'tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish'd. To go, to seek;

To seek, perchance to find—ay, there's the rub:

For in these voyages what dreams may come,

When we have boldly gone whence we have not,

Must give us pause—there's the respect

That makes a mission of so long a life.

For who would bear the Enterprise of time,

The starship’s wrong, admirals’ contumely,

The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,

The insolence of office, and the spurns

That patient merit of th'unworthy treks,

When he himself might make his voyage on

With a bare warp core? Who would tribbles bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But that the hope of something to be found,

The undiscover'd country, from whose bourn

We travel and return, puzzling our will,

And makes us wish to solve those ills we have

And fly to others that we know not of?

Thus conscience makes explorers of us all,

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is glistened o'er with the stars of thought,

And Enterprises of great pith and moment

With this regard their currents warp ahead

And seize the name of action.

UNRELIABLE NARRATORS; SIDE B

Phone guy propaganda:

so basically he's trying to help you out and also not get fired at the same time so he ends up telling the player false information. For example, he tells them to freeze up to avoid being stuffed, though that very much does not work. he also tries to cover up the restaurant's body count and constantly reminds the player that they are safe, despite everything else going against that

Hamlet Propaganda:

Have you seen the man. Is he clinically insane or just putting on an antic disposition. Is the ghost real

Guy who believes that all stories are innately connected and that nothing truly original has ever been created: Getting a lot of Hamlet vibes from this FNaF movie

#shakespeare?#shakespeare #five nights at freddy's #fnaf #hamlet #stories #lit #analysis but feral #It’s me im guys #Something something fathers and children and forgetting and remembering #It’s all stories! It’s all stories and it’s making me unhinged

thank you all for being here with me as I watch three full-text live performances of Hamlet in one week and descend further and further into madness

#worse I’m driving five hours round trip every performance #no regrets #hamlet #i realize I’m basically having a one-man Hamlet renaissance #thank you for your support #we’ll probably never see a better portrayal of the character #and i can’t stop thinking about it #i close my eyes and see every performance choice in my mind’s eye #brain whirling with a thousand ideas about how the metaphor of the theater of tragedy is both literal and in the text #**I’ll probably (sorry for the royal we lmao)

not sure if images work. i am once again asking for thy trans shakespeare headcanons please & thank you. i will Stop entering your ask box and leaving just not tonight

by the way in response to trans tn response (<3 love it) i raise thee t4t seb and ant (tn) (but also tempest) (reasoning: hits you w transgenderification beam)

ALL of my current Shakespeare trans HCs in one post??? I am going to try...

Hamlet:

Hamlet- he/they, transmasc (afab) (I’ve talked about this theory a few times, and I like it a lot for a variety of reasons! See my other posts.)

Ophelia- she/they, ftnb (projection. PROJECTION!!!)

Horatio- either mtnb he/they OR everybody’s token cis friend (Non-binary Horatio makes for 1. a beautiful t4t couple/throuple if Ophelia is here too and 2. a fun story about Horatio’s gender crisis upon meeting Hamlet. Token cis friend Horatio is just funny. Hamlet and Ophelia discuss their shared genderqueer experience and Horatio gives them a thumbs-up like “I don’t understand this but I love you.”)

Laertes- she/him, genderfluid. (I saw Laertes played by a woman the first time I saw this play and now that experience has combined with all the masc Laerteses I have seen to create genderfluid Laertes.)

Rosencrantz- he/they, mtnb (Their name shortens to “Rose”. There is no way he’s cis.)

Macbeth:

Malcolm- they/he or they/them. I cannot decide which direction they’re trans in. (I am generally very attached to Malcolm. Maybe I’ll write a post about this later because there is way too much to say here.)

Lady Macbeth- she/they (Lady Macbeth would insult you for “having pronouns in your bio” but would also hit you for using their pronouns incorrectly.)

I HC like all the minor characters in Macbeth to be trans in one direction or another (not for any good reason, I just think they should be) so trans Macbeth characters speedrun: Caithness- she/they, transfemme; Angus- she/her, transfemme, Ross- he/him, transmasc.

Twelfth Night:

Sebastian- he/him, ftm (Explains identical twins of different genders and I like the complexity it adds to his relationships- see my other post.)

Viola/Cesario/Vi/Visario- they/them, ftnb (Again, this explains the twin thing and I really like the idea of Vi using their identity as Cesario to explore their gender.)

Antonio- he/him, either ftm or token cis man (Similar to Horatio, you either get a great t4t pairing or a slightly confused cis man pulling a guy out of the ocean and inadvertently getting a lesson about trans people.)

Maria- she/her, mtf (Literally no reason, I just think she is transfemme.)

Much Ado:

I haven’t read this one in a hot minute, but Beatrice is a she/they icon.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Puck- they/them (Fairy gender doesn’t work like human gender, but they’re queer even for a fairy.)

Moth- she/they (Fairy gender things. Honestly, this goes for all Titania’s attendants.)

Titania- she/they

Oberon- he/they

Peter Quince- he/they (literally no reason, it just works)

Helena- she/her, transfemme perhaps (maybe he/they Lysander also?)

Romeo & Juliet:

I saw an all-trans/nb production of this play and now pretty much everybody is trans.

Romeo- he/they, ftm (t4t R&J!!!!)

Juliet- she/they, mtf (t4t R&J!!!!)

Mercutio- they/he, probably performs drag shows in his free time (the queerest person in this play, I love them.)

Juliet’s Nurse- she/her, mtf (Transfemme elders deserve love)

And that is all of my trans HCs off the top of my head.

#shakespeare #trans hcs #hamlet #twelfth night #macbeth #romeo and juliet #much ado about nothing #A Midsummer Night's Dream #amsnd #if you asked me five years ago where i'd be in five years #this is NOT what i would've said #but i have transed the genders of william shakespeare's characters #and i am embracing it.

“ever thought of visiting england?”

well I have to make this rosguil don’t I.

The corners of Guil’s mouth turn upward. “What’s so special about England?”

Ros smiles back— bigger and brighter than his companion’s. “I think it would be much different than Denmark. Pretty scenery.”

“I’ve heard it’s dirty.”

“You’re dirty.” Ros sticks his tongue out.

“You’re dirty.” Guil sticks his tongue out back, before pressing a quick kiss to Ros’s lips.

Now I’m curious what books would Number read..

Also I love love loved the new chapter absolutely worth the wait

Ah, glad it was worth the wait! Turns out it needed the time to bounce around in my head to figure itself out - but we did finally get there!

So, my intention for what Five was reading on the plane (and will pop up more explicitly later) is he has a soft spot for Bad Science Fiction Paperbacks. They're dumb, they're fun, they scratch that itch in his brain with the concepts without requiring all that much thought to debunk. He likes to write notes in the margins about how their concepts wouldn't work or - once in a blue moon - when they would work. I think he also has a soft spot for the classic hero's journey - the Iliad and the Odyssey, although I think he has a more complicated relationship with that, between having been forced to learn it in ancient greek (which he actually thinks is very cool, both when he was eight and learning it and now, but will never say because that means thinking something tangentially nice about Reggie), and also his complicated relationship with the idea of destiny and fate.

He doesn't prescribe to it on principle - nothing in time is set and any arbitrary change he makes just diverts to a new timeline from what the other choice would be; life is written by the choices you make in the past/present and the future is infinitely mutable - but he also talked to his 58-year-old self when he was 13 and that asshole apparently saved him from an apocalypse that would happen (will happen?) in 2019. Which should be proof of the infinitely mutable nature of the future and that it's changed now because he's obviously himself and not the worst old man possible and in the apocalypse, and yet. Without knowing what causes the apocalypse, it's still a possibility - some future choice some unknown person will make will set it off, and he doesn't know if him not being in the future already headed that off or not (which, probably not, because why would it?), and the knowledge that some arbitrary action that either already happened or will happen will set off the apocalypse in seven years or so does feel a lot like fate. Or that it's his destiny to stop it because he's the only one who knows about it (which he could fix by telling others about it, but, also, if there's no apocalypse because different timeline, why bother anyone if it's not going to happen?). It's complicated. It gives him a headache. Why didn't that terrible other version of himself give him fucking something more concrete to work with?

#we got a little off topic but i think it's relevant #i also think five would read classic books he thinks he should read but hates #this just got me sidetracked on if five likes shakespeare or not #i think mostly no - romeo and juliet is so stupid why didn't they just tell each other about the fake poison #and five wouldn't kill himself like that for anyone #(he thinks because he's above it but is actually because he can time travel and hasn't faced an apocalypse--#--and so doesn't understand the extent to which he would go to Not Die and save the person who Did Die)#but I think he'd like Hamlet - who doesn't have murderous feelings towards an ''adoptive'' father figure? - but that's also a cliche #because everyone likes hamlet #ficblogging #ask response #number #jt
