heres my gen z translation of julius caesar act 1 scene 1. if you even care.
under the break:
Enter Flavius, Marullus, and certain Commoners, (including a Carpenter and a Cobbler,) over the stage.
FLAVIUS
Hey! Get off my lawn! Don’t you hooligans know you can’t just walk around without us knowing what color collar y’all wear? Speak up! What’s your profession?
CARPENTER
Well sir, I’m a carpenter.
MARULLUS
Where’s your leather apron and your tools? What do you do while you’re in uniform? You, boy, what do you do for a living?
COBBLER
If I’m honest, handsome- I mean sir, I’m watcha might call a cobbler.
MARULLUS
Whatever, soy boy. What’s your job? Tell me!
COBBLER
Well sir, in a way, I’m a mender of bad soles.
FLAVIUS
Dammit boy, what makes your bread? Quit being a saucy moron and tell me!
COBBLER
Sorry! Sorry. Don’t freak out. But, if you did freak out, I could make it up to you. Wink wink.
MARULLUS
Hey! What’s that mean? Mend me, zest fest?
COBBLER
Why, sir, cobble you.
FLAVIUS
So you’re a cobbler, yeah?
COBBLER
Well to be quite honest sir, I ain’t got no business but with the awl. I got no business in sales, nor any business with the ladies, but I really do fix shoes: if you got a hole in your heel, count it done. I’ve been the mender of some real rich men’s shoes.
MARULLUS
Then what business do you got out here? What’re you hootin’ and holl’rin’ about? What handsome, strong fella do you know who’s out there saving Rome? Y’all are a bunch of dimwit sopbrains who ain’t got no heart. Didn’t you know Pompey? Did you not hold your babies to your chest and watch over the fields to see our triumphant beauty come home? And when you did see him, did it not bring you to tears as you shouted in solidarity to his efforts for Rome? And what now? Don’t you dress for his excellence? Do you not bring flowers to honor Pompey’s bloodline? Get on! Go! Go pray to the gods for forgiveness. Your sinful lack of gratitude offends them.
FLAVIUS
Yeah! What he said! You best cry me a river right into the Tiber banks, and I better see y’all fall to your knees at the shore.
All the Commoners exit.
Now we’ll see if those low-life kids feel remorse. Look, you can see the guilt in their walk. You go to the Capitol, I’ll meet you there. If you see those pigs honoring the statues there, you better pull the ceremonial robes off of that sucker.
MARULLUS
Is that safe, Flavius? Y’know, it is Lupercal. It’d cause quite the ruckus.
FLAVIUS
Whatever. Don’t care. If I see another statue of Caesar, I’m going to go insane. I’m about to chase off all of these hobos. Together, we can pluck each feather out of his big stupid wings so that he can’t fly above us anymore. We can’t fear him if he’s just as powerless as us.
They exit (in different directions)

So, I’ve gotten a boom in followers recently,,,,,
Now, I recognize that not everyone might’ve read my “about” pages before joining, so here’s a quick run-down:
First and Foremost:
Un-Follow Me Immediately If
You run a porn blog
You’re a Pedophile/MAP/NOMAP/SOMAP/PEAR/the fuck you’re calling yourself
You’re a Pedophile apologist
You’re a Nazi
Youre a fascist or support fascism
You’re racist
You’re sexist— this includes misogyny and misandry
You’re homophobic! The fuck are you doing on tumblr!
You’re transphobic (this including TERFs and TEHMs).
You’re a radfem in general. I think I already covered that with “terf” and “misandrist”
You’re an exclusionist in the LGBTQ+ community. This includes discriminating against trans, non-binary, asexual, bisexual, pansexual, polysexual, omnisexual, and aromantic people, polyamorous people, or anyone in general.
You’re an asshole in general.
You run a blog regularly involved in discourse/drama
Bye!
Next Up:
~A little bit about me~
The name I’m currently going by is Bandit,
I’m in my freshman year of high school, I am a minor
I’m queer
I’m polyamorous
I’m trans and non-binary
I use multiple sets of pronouns, feel free to ask me how they’re used! Please ask before using he or she pronouns, I’m not always comfortable with them!:
✨They/them/their/themself
🌙Xey/xem/xer/xerself
🍂 Ze/zir/zirs/zirself
🌻Ve/ver/vers/verself
💎Se/sum/ser/sumself
I live in Florida (eastern standard time)
I’m half Belgian
I only speak English fluently, but I know some Spanish. I’m also learning French and Latin.
I don’t like people complimenting my appearance (like calling me cute or whatever) if they haven’t actually seen what I look like
I don’t like being called cool
I’m okay with being asked “how are you” but I don’t love it since most of the time I have to lie to avoid worrying people,
I might have ADHD-I (ADD) but I’m still looking into that
I have PMDD
I like cooking, writing, and playing piano since they’re the only things I’m really good at
I don’t really engage with fandom tumblr anymore
I like literary analysis
I like comic books— specifically I’m obsessed with anything to do with Jason Todd
My favorite book is The Poet and the Vampyre by Andrew McConnell Stott
but in general I prefer fiction to nonfiction
My favorite musicians are Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Marina and the Diamonds, Taylor Swift, and Lorde
Last but not Least
About the Blog
If my blog color is grey — I am in a bad mood and unlikely to talk to anyone (the lighter the grey, the worse it it. If the background is plain white— I need help. I’d prefer for you to send it in the form of asks rather than DMs)
If the text in my bio is in red I might be posting nsfw shitposts/Jokes and I am okay with seeing nsfw shitposts/jokes.
If it is white, then I am not.
If it is in blue, then I don’t care either way.
If you need to send an ask to me, send it to @a-loser-answers

If you want to see my art and some helpful art tips, check out @artist-with-internet-access
If you want to see my writing and some helpful writing tips, check out @writer-with-internet-access
