i'm about to run off to class but i've been going positively apeshit about shakespeare for the last three hours so like: what shakespeare play would y'all most associate your muses with?? in terms of story themes, related aesthetics, character arcs/tropes, etc?? or see if i can assign them one that fits if you'd like, idk, i'm vibing

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS.#putting shakespeare muses on my ''hellblazer & constantine characters only'' multi? it's more likely than you think #i've already got a character from ER waiting in the wings who do i think i'm kidding #ANYWAY instincts say that constantine is aligned with macbeth bc Spooky but hear me out: Hamlet #never sure if the descent into madness is real or an act. sending your friends off to get killed. called in to solve a problem for a ghost #mourning the father. the abandonment of the love interest. natural imagery symbolism with snakes and flowers and water #accidentally making things worse when you're trying desperately to make things better #self-destruction layered over and over and over itself in a thousand forms both intentional and unintentional. guilt and grief #wee bit of goofing and gaffing thrown into the mix for good measure. main character needs a fucking cigarette #like BRUH. do we see the VISION #this is totally optional ofc i'm having brainworms about literature #SHIT that reminds me i gotta go back and do that song post too!!! i've had that tab open for like a month #but that's a problem for a later me. away to class i go
