There is/was absolutely a Villain somewhere on Earth Bet with these exact vibes and aesthetics

John Leguizamo and his portrayal of Tybalt 'Prince of Cats' Capulet in the 1996 adaption of Romeo and Juliet

Why. In. The. World. Are. There. People. That. Ship. Mercutio. And. Tybalt? Why?? Whyyyyyyyy???? Please explain this lack of sense to me!

Gnomeo & Juliet concept art I feel needs to be shared

(Ignore the arrows idk how to make them go away)

i’m home alone right now so why don’t you come over and we’ll invite who we want and then can our naked weapons be out and we duel but you stab me specifically and i watch your back as you run away because that’s what your friend tells you to do and i’m wondering if at any point you’ll turn back to look at me but i realise you’re long out of sight and i curse a plague on your house but what if we were honest and mayhaps what if you stay and hold me in your arms irrespective of what your friends say until the warmth of my blood pouring out onto your palms starts becoming cold

but no you only come back when i’m gone to try to get my friend to join me on my journey because you can’t admit that you don’t want me going alone yet even when i’m lifeless you’re too scared to hold me but you die instead or maybe that’s what you want because in the end we lie on that cold hard stage together as two performers cast in the wrong roles but maybe next time it doesn’t have to be so tragic

everyone in this play seems to run a little too late so i’ll be waiting for you to come over in each of the next eight of your nine lives and we’ll repeat this until we get it right

Romeo x Juliet - Tybalt

timeless🥺☺️

Kevin x Rod x Tybalt aesthetic for anon, I hope you like it!!

battling with the Hell wip™ and i put on my comfort movie (romeo + juliet 1996) to distract me a little. however i got a little too distracted and came up with a very rough sskk/bsd au of it. now i'll have to expand it or something because this idea is eating up my brain

Arkaig HHP Log #24 - Tybalt's Slugger's Dugout

the amount of times i've drawn clowns on this blog is absurd. yes it was twice but that's twice too much

ANYWAY personality swap verona au anyone? its more of a personality inversion since i didn't swap their personalities with one another (og idea by @quejicadelapulpa)... more info ⬇️

idk why when i invert their personalities they become depressed, evil, or both but 😭 i'll go in depth on each of them

Tybalt: he was always a clown but swapbalt is quite literally a clown (he prefers jester). his personality is basically mercutio: playful, friendly, but still prim since i don't see why that would change about him i mean he's still absolutely loaded 🤑 also he loves annoying mercutio, especially since it's not like he'll get his ass whooped if he starts to throw hands (since, yk, tybalt is JACKED)

Mercutio: what i meant when i said they turn depressed when i invert their personalities 💀 swapcutio is a man of few words. he probably speaks very quietly too, only ever getting loud when he's pissed at tybalt. speaking of, he's not as hot-headed as og tybalt mostly cuz i didn't want to just swap their personas and call it a day. nah this is much funnier. i feel bad for him though i mean he's got this fucking clown constantly bothering him and there's nothing he can do about it

Romeo: he's giving pascal and i'm so sorry ab that. anyway this is where i delve more into personal hcs about personality since some of these sims weren't given much originally. i see romeo as a pretty smart kid so i didn't change that about him. i also see him as a bit immature but his wit makes up for that and that's how he's able to charm people. while swapmeo is mature, he is unfortunately quite uncharismatic so who tf knows how he pulled juliette. he's still a romance sim tho so he has his ways...

Juliette: not too much about her. i originally saw her as a little hot-headed similar to tybalt, so i decided to commit to that and make her a very mellow and chill individual. no more raging at online shooter games for her ! swapiette also wears very comfy clothes unlike juliette and dont u worry i kept her uggs. they're simply too iconic 😩

Miranda: she's basically more like her mother. this is where i was conflicted like do i swap the adults' personalities as well?? regardless, swapiranda (i need to stop) is a good christian girl 😌 as you can see she did not dye her hair in this universe and same with hermia but we'll get there. i also removed her beautiful shades SORRY but they're still there in spirit with the blue of her nails. i think swapiranda has that sweet exterior but a snakeish interior in terms of personality

Hermia: i exchanged the goth aesthetic for something more pastel and trendy for the time. you could say swapmia is a bit like og juliette in terms of personality. ooh maybe she doesn't dislike her brother in this universe! though i can see her and juliette getting tired of his smileyness. also yess swapmia's hair is her natural blonde it fits her vibe more.

Puck: last and certainly not least, evil puck 😍 the poor residents of swap veronaville cuz this kid... to me, og puck is kind, shy, dedicated to their tasks but dreadfully incompetent. you'd think he's the media's idea of a fairy- playful and mischievous, but he is surprisingly the opposite. THEN THERE'S SWAP PUCK. absolutely devious. despicable. he plays pranks and they are fucking mean pranks (not as far as battery acid in pop tho 💀 that's one of their cruel jokes. pls tybalt is not actually drinking battery acid) who KNOWS what swapmia sees in them. maybe she's evil too lmfao

anyway that's what i got. tell me why typing this drained 54% of my battery. apple is wild. maybe i'll do st but that's a hell of a lot of work

I've been inspired by the latest resurgence of appreciation for Baz Luhrmann's 90s retelling of Romeo & Juliet. The film has such a unique and dazzling style, so it's great to see a younger audience enjoying it. The juxtaposition of the laid back LA style of the Montagues with the Latin cowboy aesthetic of the Capulets is a feast for the eyes.

HOW DO YALL NOT REMEMBER TYBALT!?!?!?!

Granted, he's only in 3 scenes (well, he's dead bodies in another scene but wtv) BUT LIKE!?!?! I COULD NEVER FORGET HIM FOR WHAT HE DID!?!?!?

Also yesssss. I knowwww. Hating Tybalt technically isn't the point and I should understand that he is as much a victim of the macho-machismo culture of the feud as everyone else but like.... If he didn't kill Mercutio (or if Mercutio wasn't hyper machismo. pyp) Romeo wouldn't have killed Tybalt and the best couple in all of history could've lived hapily ever after.

OUGHHH sorry to be on anon, I need to make a proper tumblr to talk to people in hermitblr but currently I only have a sideblog and am not gonna expose my ten year old main aklsdjhfdklas, but I am the author of the romeo and juliet au tysm you made my heart grow warm and fuzzy and then explode I've never seen my fic mentioned out in te wild before <33333

to fuel ur theatre au brainworms, in the romeo and juliet au: mercutio is bdubs + benvolio is cleo, and jimmy and joel are sampson and gregory (two capulets from the start of the play they're such dumbasses my absolute beloveds), so we've got the design philosophy of the montagues and the capulets mirroring the aesthetics of the family and the bad boysss. (I never came up with a design for bad boy!Ren when he steps in as Tybalt instead of Grian during show week but I feel it's not too hard to imagine hehe)

but also (separately from that au, because I saw other talk of the life series and theatre and plays on ur blog) I constantly think about the life series as a greek tragedy, specifically in relation to the purpose of the series' inevitable tragedy being catharsis for the watchers (with the watchers also being literally the viewers). we love to see them suffer!!! but there's also a bunch of politics surrounding greek tragedies that Plato and Aristotle had discourse about that you can rope into it and tldr; my understanding is catharsis was Aristotle's answer to Plato's concern that tragedies' emotive affect could encourage rebellion against the state, with Aristotle saying that instead the cycle of pity and fear and eventual catharsis felt by the audience has a "purifying" effect that's like an emotional release from those emotions instead. Then with the extra layer of lore the fandom has surrounding Grian running away from the watchers, if Grian designs the life games, to the end of sating the watchers' need to emotionally feed (thank you Martyn for that piece of lore I'm stealing it jkfhdsk), the purpose of the games could be the cleansing of the watchers' discomfort with him running away and being a player and maintaining the status quo where Grian is actually the one in control !!!! even if he makes himself suffer. also different characters "curses" as their harmatia!! And, if we interpret the watchers as a fictional force AND the viewers simultaneously, then the chorus could absolutely be watchers who are vocal in the fandom - removed from the "players" (and OH how I love the dual meaning of minecraft players and players as in actors) but providing additional commentary and insight into what's happening that further feeds the emotional experience of the audience !!

alsooooo if you don't know the show "& Juliet" scar and grian are ALSO romeo and juliet in that to me, it's their last life/early double life era </3

theatre theatre theatre theatre theatre theatre theatre theatre

YOOOOOOOOO HELLO OP YOUR FIC IS AMAZING AND IM GLAD I COULD REC IT BC IT DESERVES RECOGNIZED!!!!! Also all of this is AMAZING im so obsessed with bdubs being mercutio and cleo being benvolio. Thats incredible like HELLO????? based choices tbh thats so fun

Also super obsessed with the meta of plays feeding into the watcher canon (and im STILL not over martyn somehow accidentally canonizing a key element of my au, this is insane, i came up with the idea for watchers feeding on player emotions in SEPTEMBER OF LAST YEAR), thats so fucking neat, i love a good tragedy OUGHHHHH its so compelling.

Also no worries about being on anon!!!! I did that too before i finally cleaned up my main blog so all the posts were privated, and then changed my url to match this one so ppl would recognize me WHEEEEEZE. Smth that helped me was tagging my own sideblog in anon asks i sent, so ppl would know it was me, and i'd get the notif when it got answered. Ofc you might not be comfortable linking your sideblog, but if you ever made one you wanted to sign off with, thats the option i used for a while before using mass post editor to private my entire main blog!!!!

theatre theatre theatre!!! Your ideas are SO pog and cool my dude feel free to ramble to me any time :]

some highlights from shakespeare in the park romeo and juliet:

romeo was just. freakishly tall

the nurse was teeny and they looked so silly together i loved their dynamic

when a character was being talked about you could always see them “backstage” or somewhere close in the audience

benvolio was so so fun and happy and laughed at everything

benvolio told romeo to look for other women and romeo looked straight at the audience and made a face

romeo greeted friar lawrence by giving him a noogie and friar lawrence tried to do it back but romeo was too tall

romeo just like. straight up forgot who rosaline was

the benvolio/mercutio relationship was really cute and played as pretty gay. loved it

i had on a grey blanket and mercutio made aggressive eye contact with me when he was talking about the “grey-coated gnat”

juliet had a star-shaped pimple patch stuck to her shirt which was really cute actually

just. really hot tybalt. like worryingly attractive. horrible evil awful facial hair and haircut but somehow it worked. and the swordplay?? okay shutting up about him now

the montagues wore blues (boy colors) and the capulets wore reds (girl colors)

juliet had a pink dress and the nurse wore both pink and red which was an amazing aesthetic/symbolic choice

juliet’s dress was GORGEOUS

mercutio’s suit was the ugliest thing i’ve ever seen. houndstooth and red leather and blue floral print. it activated my fight or flight response

during the “sex” scene they just danced around and there was some pretty music it was actually beautiful

romeo had on a shirt that was so see-through that he might as well have just not been wearing one

the “lamentable day” scene was done so that the nurse/lady/montague/count paris were all crying and talking at the same time and it was AMAZING

lady capulet screamed so loud

the original count paris was sick so there was just some woman holding a script onstage. she slayed it actually

lady montague was also the musician and after she died she just played the harp and looked really sad on the side of the stage

tybalt was in the crypt during the death scene. just hanging out. just chilling

the stage manager played peter and just ran around carrying a cheap paper fan for the entire duration of the play

tybalt sort of saluted everyone with his sword during bows. did i mention he was hot??

everyone was hot actually it was insane

VeronaHills, Round Four: Capp (Uni)

Mission University presented a scene Juliette wasn't prepared for: big brother Tybalt, criss-cross applesauce on the footpath, networking.

It would be understandable for Tybalt to be on the ground if he were scrapping with a Monty boy, but there he was, calmly sat on the sunbaked ground to chat with a pair of blazer-adorned classmates. The vision amused Juliette - dear Tybby had clearly gone to great lengths to fit in with a more casual campus crowd, but his tank top fell short of the smartly dressed students on the sidewalk. Thankfully, Delilah and Phineaus looked past the fire engine blare of Tybalt's aesthetic choices and indicated their interest in further interaction. Networking. He'd only gone and done it!

"You'll be dating next," Juliette said playfully as the blazer duo departed.

Tybalt pursed his lips shut to avert an impulsive rush of words: First kiss. Slept with him too. On a couch. Outside. Amazing. He's engaged. Not to me. Shit.
