good night, sweet prince

The first secret in today's fandomsecrets batch is about Hamlet. *loves* And this seems as good a time as any to advance one of my crack theories, which is this: If Horatio and Mercutio switched plays, Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet would both have ended much earlier and without all the bloodshed. Mercutio would have smacked Hamlet around until he went ahead and killed Claudius without all the dillydallying about trying to get proof, and Horatio would have very calmly put together a plan for Romeo and Juliet to run off together that didn't involve dying or faking deaths or massive miscommunications.

My brain works in odd ways.


ETA: I want this t-shirt, man.

I LOVE HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS.

Sorry. I'm a massive Shakespeare nerd as of late. And you're absolutely right.

IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

Horatio and Mercutio are both far too awesome for their respective plays. <3 Also, I am always a massive Shakespeare nerd. Everyone should be!

Thanks for getting me hooked on fandomsecrets. Haha. I spent hours reading them last night! When I get home I'm gonna send in a couple, I think.

I also think I found a couple that could be yours.

Fandomsecrets is mad addictive, trufax. When I first got hooked I spent weeks going back through posts. It's awful.

I also think I found a couple that could be yours.

Very possible. Mind if I ask which ones sound like me?

There's an Animorphs one in which the fan said thanks, unsarcastically, for Animorphs getting he or she hooked on dysfunctional relationships. And another about liking Emilie de Ravin's character on Roswell. There was another about Lost, I think? I don't remember; those are the ones I thought were the most like you.

I'll cop to the Animorphs secret, that was mine. The Roswell secret might have been mine? Maybe? I don't actually remember. I will also admit to having submitted Lost secret(s), but I refuse to claim all of them.

Many of my secrets are fairly transparent. Obvious secret!poster is obvious.

Oh! I remember what the Lost one was... It was about how the poster would be just as happy if the show was just about Desmond and Penny's relationship on the boat. I know you love Desmond.

I stand by that! The epic love story of half-naked Desmond and Penny on a boat would be an amazing show. :P

[riviyan-questa.livejournal.com]

That would be the one!
