Playwright Says: aaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh

[zukkokya]

[Kya lies in bed with laptop. Kya gets up, puts laptop on desk. Kya carries laptop to a chair. Kya sneaks onto YouTube. Kya looks up eighty-three music videos from the late nineties. Kya studies Japanese. Kya orders Pad Thai. Kya eats Pad Thai. Kya rereads The Love Suicides at Amijima. Kya drinks three liters of water. Kya looks at clock.]

KYA:
...Oops.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
...You still only have three finished, don't you.

KYA:
Sure, finished. But the other five are already started!

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
You know, this really shouldn't be so challenging for a playwright.

KYA:
BANTERING DIALOGUE IS NOT THE SAME AS ANALYZING WOYZECK.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
Hey, where are you going?

KYA:
TO THE GYM.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
But --

KYA:
I NEED ENDORPHINS.

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
...You forgot your sanity.

KYA:
I. DON'T. WANT IT.

[Door slams.]

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
Was she wearing shoes at least?

[Subaru nods.]

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
Well, small blessings.

[Yasu enters. Subaru gives V sign. Yasu and Subaru make out on bed.]

THEATRE HISTORY ESSAYS:
...Why am I still here?

Get off my journal. Stop having fun while I'm miserable.

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

can i stay if i stop having fun? misery loves company, right? i am company!

*assumes properly unhappy expression*

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Yes, you may.

*unhappy Bambi eyes* College is being meeeaaan, Merface. *sniff*

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

then you should be mean back! by doing well. shhh it totally makes sense.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Agh, can you help me with something? I can't remember which of Shakespeare's plays had really strongly insinuated gay characters. I've already got Antonio from Twelfth Night but I need someone to contrast him against. Any ideas?

[saturnial.livejournal.com]

merchant of Venice? the scene with the guy wooing the other guy in drag?

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Ooh, this might work. I'd rather have a play I know better than Merchant, though. I'll shelve it for now and work on finishing the other half-finished one.

[saturnial.livejournal.com]

SPARKNOTES. Solution to all things.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

XDDD Nah.

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

The first one I can think of is Antonio from The Merchant of Venice, let me try and remember who else.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Antonio and Antonio. XDDD Maybe this is evidence enough.

In this essay, I will argue that "Antonio" is code for "fancypants nancy boy."

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

Well Mercutio was a little... queer, for sure. Um... for some reason I have this memory of something related to Oberon but I was never as up on Midsummer Night's Dream as some of the others.

...*chokes* A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH TURNS UP THIS.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHA.

Oh, my darling Mercutio. ♥ I don't know if I'd say gay for him, though. He's like Subaru -- he could be either or both and it wouldn't surprise me.

Although doesn't Mercutio rant at some point about how much women suck?

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

yes, mercutio. ♥ yeah, i wouldn't say he's gay for sure either, just that if he, like, came out, i wouldn't be surprised. *g*

and he does indeed. XD

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Mercutio is hands down my favorite of Shakespeare's characters. I have this sudden need to see each of Kanjani∞ recite the Queen Mab speech.

[acchikocchi.livejournal.com]

...do you really think most of them could get through it with a straight face.

[pinkpapyrus.livejournal.com]

Dude, I bet you anything Subaru could. He :|-faces more than anyone in the group.

Subaru: [obscene comment] :|
Hina: ROFL [SMACK]
Subaru: [grin]

(He's also creepily good at sarcasm.)
