The shadows of Tragedy of Macbeth
Something I find absolutely hilarious, is that, if Good Omens and The Sandman really do exist in the same universe, Shakespear is actually just garbage. Like, this man had the blessing of an Endless, specificly Dream, who is the King of Stories. He should be making, quite literally, nothing but the best. And yet, he still required help from a whole other cosmic entity, aka Crowley, to make Hamlet. Hamlet isn't even his most popular play, and he had help from two crazy powerful entities to make it and make it popular. This man had the help of Dream of the Endless and the Snake of Eden and it still is barely on the top five for most people. Do you know how bad you probably have to be to need that much help from nigh omnipotent beings. Definitely one of the funniest things I've ever thought about. I hope Hob and Crowley get together sometime to talk about how not that great Shakespear actually was and how they can convince their significant others that he's not actually that good to.
oh so when a bunch of roman senators kill their leader it's #girlboss but when i, macbeth,
today's the appropriate day to stab your best friend in the back!!! 🔪🗡️🗡️🗡️🔪🔪🔪🔪🗡️🗡️
Mon vide, you are a sailor, sea-swallowed and sea-spat. Your days on ship are spent with memories of your feet in the sand, and the nights on land forget to cradle you like the sea.
Under its blaze, when the sun is as of use as its sunlight, with desparation, you want it to guide you somewhere beyond. Poor sun, when it beckons you deeper, further, all you want is for it to shine on your beloved.
There is only disdain for you here. Under the sun, you will never be satisfied.

I am him
Because like Antonio
'In sooth I know not why I am sad.'
I am weary till I am distraught,
Though my sunken ships never see the shore.

Yeah, so, you know what? How about some Shakespeare, but it's modern!au, everyone serves in the army, Beatrice is between gender-questioning and trans, and Benedick is just a wet pathetic bisexual
A parody I came up with the other day: Quantum Hamlet
To be *and* not to be
That is (or isn’t) the quandary
Wether it be nobler in the mind to suffer the particle and wave states of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by observing end them
