who the fuck said. 'lets give a bunch of uninterested teens four Shakespeare books to read' ffs

which ones??

Yeah, I could possibly help
Shakespeare is sort of My Thing

who the fuck said. 'lets give a bunch of uninterested teens four Shakespeare books to read' ffs

which ones??

merchant of venice, Romeo and Juliet, hamlet, king lea

My mom hated shakespeare growing up and as a result she never taught us anything about it
She's made it clear if we want to read them we can but otherwise it's not necessary, just do your math

Demisexual can (as far as I know) mean for both or either gender. I’ve started to question my own demi/asexuality so I don’t think I’m the best person to ask.

Okay, I'm very familiar with all but The Merchant of Venice! Less so with King Lear but I'm currently putting it on with my family so I do have a pretty good grasp on it.

You should start with A Midsummer Night's Dream, it's pretty short and very fun!

Oof, I apologise
I should just label myself as questioning

Also the Sparknotes website has side-by-side translations of a lot of them for free!
@philosophicalmess they have all four of those on there with the side-by-side translation

I honestly really don't know what I am, when it comes to sexuality, but I think I'm demi. I can appreciate aesthetically pleasing people, though it's not very often? Like, my mom will have her celeb hotties and try to pressure me into agreeing with her that they're hot (they're not, at least to me, and all guys) but the people (male and female) that I find pleasing to the eye aren't the people she would be attracted to. And I wouldn't say I'm attracted to them, just… I dunno, appreciating their beauty?

I've had very minor crushes that don't last long, but I don't ever find myself sexually attracted to anyone. But I don't say I'm ace because I don't explicitly know if I do or don't want sex? Like, it's not wholly unappealing to me, in theory, but I've obviously got no experience in that area ghfjgh. Would I consider dating people that I know well though? Yes. It's happened before.

I'm just rambling at this point ghfjgh. Disregard my nonsense

ooh merchant of venice is… a lot to process, sociopolitically, but portia is as great as any cross-dressing shakespeare heroine (and they're all great). romeo and juliet + hamlet you're probably already at least a little familiar with. lear is one of my favorite tragedies! kent is probably my favorite character, i like watching him grapple with the question of what loyalty means (just blindly trusting someone, or loving them enough to question them? watch out for that). they'll all be much easier reads than you think!

I'm trying get through all my notifications, but I'll write a wall when I get the chance. Don't let me forget

Yeah, MoV has some Yikesy moments with the way that Shylock is handled, but Portia is very neat. Hamlet is my favorite tragedy and I love it lots, I love interpreting Romeo and Juliet as a satire since it pisses off my teachers, and King Lear is dark but very good as well. I'm set to play Edmund, the Fool, and the Messenger in my little 5-person production.

Oh no it’s fine! I’ve been labeling myself as demi for a few years until recently (actually really recently) so I know a good bit about it, I just don’t know if it fits me anymore. Though in my defense, the person in question who made me rethink it, I am really close with…

sigh

But demisexuality is really, in my terms, sexual feelings for someone you have a long, close relationship with. It doesn’t matter of the gender (bisexuality/homosexuality) will do that for you. I think labeling yourself as bi, and making it clear that you have a lean, which is totally natural, for I have a lean for ladies, is important.

my friend feels the exact same way about this. she has trouble differentiating between being attracted to someone and appreciating their beauty, and as someone who is attracted to people (i think?), it's actually a super nebulous and difficult distinction to make sometimes, unfortunately. if you want an accurate label, you deserve to be able to find that, but know that you're under no obligation to have one. sexual orientation can be hard to define (i speak from experience)

Question. is that the same as "grey" Asexual or Ace?

I played Hostess Quickly and Montjoy, and it was the best show I've ever been in! The only role that's come close is when I played Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Midterm (basically Midsummer but dumbed down a little for kids)

No, not really. Grey-sexual is feeling sexual attraction very rarely, regardless of how long you've known them. (Also asexual and ace are the same thing)
But I guess demi technically falls under grey

@strangebird can i just say that i love you??? you watch Pierre XO too and I just kjhvfiljebeh

Whoops I didn't know that sorry, but thank you for informing me about this!

Also, you can just chop off the prefixes of each and add -romantic at the end, and it works for romantic attraction as well!

omg hostess quickly would be so much fun to play. i played titania in midsummer in middle school! and then i was helena a couple years later. there are few shakespeare lines taken out of context more often than "though she be but little, she is fierce" lol

@strangebird can i just say that i love you??? you watch Pierre XO too and I just kjhvfiljebeh

ghfjghfjgh I legit got him in my recommended and was like "Ooo, that's a pretty woma—thATS A DUDE BUT HE'S STILL PRETTY IMMA WATCH

Whoops I didn't know that sorry, but thank you for informing me about this!

I don't really know all that much about either because I'm very firmly no sexual attraction ever, but I've always seen them listed as two separate things with their own definitions. Things get real funky when it's not black and white

She was!!! Montjoy is my favorite role to date (unless Kate counts, but I'm just doing one monologue of hers and not playing her, although I want to!) but I've also mostly gotten ensemble parts lol. That's so cool! I played Oberon in 8th grade because there were only a handful of guys in drama club and so they cast me as him. I got a little makeup beard lmao. That's cool as well! Ha I have a "she is fierce" shirt that I got last summer, you're right about the context though
I want a "if I were a man, I would eat his heart in the marketplace!" shirt so bad-
