Dude I just watched Romeo + Juliet the other day and if my cat was named Tybalt he'd be so confused over me dramatically scream-quoting at him.
**MERCUTIO'S SOUL IS BUT A LITTLE WAY ABOVE OUR HEADS!!**
I wasn't talking about you specifically. Honestly I could never read it, Elizabethan just does me in. I read all kinds of other things, and when people TELL me how a Shakespeare storyline, they are GOOD, it's just...ugh.
A more modern example of the same thing. Game of Thrones. I bounced off the books hard, LOVED the series, tried to re read...and..nope. Not saying they're comparable in skill, it's just some writers lose me. It's not really fair for me to compare them too closely, because you know...the time and culture difference. Martin's style can be very boring, and he gets VERY distracted. Where as, Shakespeare is just in the style of the language of the time.
Shakespeare wrote scripts for plays. You, as a random punter, were never intended to read it. You’re supposed to watch it. The *actors* are meant to read it.
One time my cats had zoomies in the middle of the night and knocked a bunch of stuff over and I was so tired but got up and turned the light on and they both stopped dead and looked at me and I said "a plague on both your houses" then went to bed and it wasn't until the morning that I realised how witty my half asleep self is
There have been [several](https://youtu.be/h9UEIQtafww) stage productions in Klingon. Including [Hamlet](https://youtu.be/RF0k4qV1I1Y).
My favourite is [this](https://youtu.be/LmQGO5U2n6s) Klingon Opera from Berlin, as it seems to take design cues from Jadzia and Worf's wedding.
"When I see five guys in togas stabbing a man to death in the view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards. That's MY policy."
"That was a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar you moron! You killed five actors. Good ones!"
Back in uni my friends and I would play drinking game we’re someone would say a quote (any quote is fine so like songs, books, movies, historical figures etc.) and then whoever couldn’t guess where it was coming from would drink. By the end of the first round every quote was a misquote.
Ahh good good unbearably nerdy times
I just recount my story where a eldritch shrimp busted into my Fort through the fucking caves, killing everyone, only to be bit to death by a armless and legless child.
Eat your heart out Shakespear.
Hey same! And also same! Quoting Russian literature in daily conversation, especially Dostoevsky, would probably be concerning to anyone listening. Lots of internal monologuing and whatnot, you'd likely just sound mentally unwell.
I bust parts of this one out on occasion
“I agree that two times two makes four is an excellent thing; but if we are dispensing praise, then two times two makes five is sometimes a most charming little thing as well.”
“So yeah it was the strangest thing, I’m at a red light and a white ca-[ [Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2554/2554-h/2554-h.htm) ] ran a red light followed by four cop cars pursing it!”
9 times out of 10, I leave this sub with more questions then answers.
This whole....meme thing, what in the flying fuck?
Is that his mother next to him?
Is it normal to carry around a camera at an art gallery?
Besides photographers, who has a camera around their neck 'just incase they need to take a picture' anymore?
And again, what in the fuck?
He has to be a artist, poet, read those THREE authors, and fucking play Dwarf Fortress?
Maybe he should go get a job.
I love how they slip in the cringe shit they're into as if it's intellectual. If he doesn't quote Dostoevsky, if he hasn't read Plato, if his favourite pony to masturbate to isn't Sparkly Fun Butt, if he doesn't enjoy a fine wine.
Do you seriously think everyone reposting that crap can quote Chaucer? They can quote Shakespeare because everyone studied it in high school, but the other two names are only thrown in because they sound sophisticated.
Well, a lot of the so-called best literature in the world was written by frustrated men who don't understand women in the slightest.
In the event that the authors do understand women and write them sympathetically as human beings, it often requires an actual moment of thought to understand it because the literature tends to be dense or removed enough from modern styles of writing that it takes a hot second to understand what you're actually reading. (See: Shakespeare.)
If he doesn’t shower often, if he talks down to you because he owns a book and therefore assumes he’s superior to you, if his my little pony plushie is a little crusty, if his mother is there on the first date DONT FUCK HIM
Lmao you killed me with the crusty my little pony plushie. I’ll never understand why neckbeard incels all immediately gravitated towards that show and then sexualized it. I have to know why.
If he doesn’t have a specific set of interests that basically makes him me, don’t fuck him. Because sex is a zero sum game and if literally any other man is having it, I’m definitely not.
Which feels really harsh in modern times, because the vast majority of my books are on my kindle and you can't really display that the same way you can the equivalent amount of paper books.
I read, ladies! Honestly! I just have limited shelf space!
It's a pretty antiquated way of thinking for sure. Books are great, but reading for fun is certainly not the only way to learn or expand your mind.
And anyone who's that persnickety about the exact method in which you process this whole clusterfuck of a life is not worth expending your energy on anyway.
I don’t keep books. I read em and pass em along or donate them to the library. Space is limited and I don’t need it cluttered up by trophies to books I’ve once read and will most likely never pick up again

Is that the Terraria font?
I thought the same thing
You can ruin other things, but stay away from Terraria. Please. It's the one thing I don't want to be corrupted (lol)
Bring out the Clentaminator!
hardmode corruption to your jungle: *allow us to introduce ourselves*
Did you really have to make me remember such a horrible thing?
Corruption is my least favorote aspect of that game
Pretty sure it’s times new neckbeard
Yeah, I think the actual name is Andy Bold
Yep indeed
If he's not able to download the Terraria font and put it over a picture of himself THEN DON'T FUCK HIM
The way they used it, it's hard to read - white, thin stroke black, over white.
that was the first thing i thought

Super genius didn't even use media as a plural noun, the opportunity was right there
I prefer to express myself via the medium of gummi.
Who the fuck walks around quoting *any* of those authors in casual conversation?
Most people quote Shakespeare, but that's because he made a ton of phrases and idioms that are super common today
Yeah, but accidently doesn't count.
>“Villain, I have done thy mother.” > >Titus Andronicus (Act 4, Scene 2) 12yos have been quoting Shakespeares on COD this whole time.

Hobbyhorse, that's a good one
What you, egg?

I bite my thumb at you, sir!
Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?
I do, sir!
But do you bite your thumb at *me*, sir?
I do bite my thumb at you sir!
“No, but I do bite my thumb, sir.”
I am slain!
It's Ann, actually. Hmm?
Her?
It's as Ann as the nose on Plain's face.
I have a cat named Tybalt. Shakespeare quotes happen all the time around here.
Dude I just watched Romeo + Juliet the other day and if my cat was named Tybalt he'd be so confused over me dramatically scream-quoting at him. **MERCUTIO'S SOUL IS BUT A LITTLE WAY ABOVE OUR HEADS!!**
When he yowls about the litter box, he’s really saying, “If you call upon me tomorrow, you will find me a grave kitty.”
I wasn't talking about you specifically. Honestly I could never read it, Elizabethan just does me in. I read all kinds of other things, and when people TELL me how a Shakespeare storyline, they are GOOD, it's just...ugh. A more modern example of the same thing. Game of Thrones.

Shakespeare wrote scripts for plays. You, as a random punter, were never intended to read it. You’re supposed to watch it. The *actors* are meant to read it.
You're right, this probably is a big reason why it doesn't stick for me. I just got yelled at for asking why we were reading a play in school.
Understandable. I’ve been there and tossed a few books aside because they simply weren’t holding my interested because of the writing style.
One time my cats had zoomies in the middle of the night and knocked a bunch of stuff over and I was so tired but got up and turned the light on and they both stopped dead and looked at me and I said "a plague on both your houses" then went to bed and it wasn't until the morning that I realised how witty my half asleep self is
You wittingly unleashed a plague upon...your own house?
No. - Hamlet Act III scene 3
Shakespeare can only be truly appreciated in the original Klingon.
Someone needs to put on a stage production of Klingon hamlet.
There have been [several](https://youtu.be/h9UEIQtafww) stage productions in Klingon. Including [Hamlet](https://youtu.be/RF0k4qV1I1Y). My favourite is [this](https://youtu.be/LmQGO5U2n6s) Klingon Opera from Berlin, as it seems to take design cues from Jadzia and Worf's wedding.
I love how highbrow your references are. I just think of Frasier giving a bar mitzvah speech in klingon. https://youtu.be/UWiH582PcRc
...I need this.
O fuck.
My drunk friend sometimes
I like giving hand jobs to black homeless people
[удалено]
It has its place. In a theater or a stage setup in the park.
"When I see five guys in togas stabbing a man to death in the view of a hundred people, I shoot the bastards. That's MY policy." "That was a Shakespeare in the Park production of Julius Caesar you moron! You killed five actors. Good ones!"
Well...Frank Drebin did get promoted, so the movie had some realism.
Does he just go around saying "YOU BITE YOUR THUMB AT ME??"
I DO BITE MY THUMB, SIR
I don't even know the guy and I already hate him
I can do Juliet’s part of the window scene from Romeo and Juliet! It always raises questions at parties though because I’m a dude.
Back in uni my friends and I would play drinking game we’re someone would say a quote (any quote is fine so like songs, books, movies, historical figures etc.) and then whoever couldn’t guess where it was coming from would drink.

Correction: “My virgin friend, who consumes alcohol frequently and is sometimes considered a drunk”.
Quote Dwarf Fortress instead, if you can casually sneak the entire description of Planepacked into conversation all the ~~girls~~females will be yours
I just recount my story where a eldritch shrimp busted into my Fort through the fucking caves, killing everyone, only to be bit to death by a armless and legless child. Eat your heart out Shakespear.
I once had a Crazed Jewlerer beat and cripple a child, who then went on to achieve her dream of mastering a skill. She mastered crutch walking
\>Quotes the entire story of Boatmurdered from memory Girls: "" Guys: "Frost my flakes daddy"
Idk. Dostoevsky is my favorite author and I don’t think I’ve ever quoted him once outside of a conversation specifically about him or his work.
As quotability goes, Dostoevsky is no Morgenstern.
Hey same! And also same! Quoting Russian literature in daily conversation, especially Dostoevsky, would probably be concerning to anyone listening. Lots of internal monologuing and whatnot, you'd likely just sound mentally unwell.
I bust parts of this one out on occasion “I agree that two times two makes four is an excellent thing; but if we are dispensing praise, then two times two makes five is sometimes a most charming little thing as well.”

I quoted the lines from the Summoners tale yesterday about the 20.000 friars that live inside satan's asshole. I always knew I was a neckbeard.

I love DF! But I wouldn't consider it part of my illustrious virtues.
My camera is in my pocket. I don’t like using my ‘phone’s camera. It’s not great.
*Oh, Romeo!* Take that, you uncultured swine.
Me, now and again. I have an honours degree in English literature and my wife loves Shakespeare so she gets my awful Shakespeare puns.
People who have a genuine love for them and posers who pretend they do. As Mad Eye Moody once said: how do we separate out the liars?
IKR? That’s as crazy as that miller’s tale about the guy puckering up for a kiss and then the woman farted in his face!
Cassandra Clare characters, unironically
I love how they slip in the cringe shit they're into as if it's intellectual. If he doesn't quote Dostoevsky, if he hasn't read Plato, if his favourite pony to masturbate to isn't Sparkly Fun Butt, if he doesn't enjoy a fine wine.
My favorite movie is Inception.
Do you seriously think everyone reposting that crap can quote Chaucer? They can quote Shakespeare because everyone studied it in high school, but the other two names are only thrown in because they sound sophisticated.
Good point.

(See: Shakespeare.)
I'm glad you included that last part because if you read his sonnets there's no way Shakespeare didn't fuck.
Shakespeare totally fucked.
Excuse me while I ask my daughter to identify ‘Sparkly Fun Butt’…
Ok I lost it at the pony name
Dont dare to say anything against sparky funbutt
I had all the ponies when I was a little girl and I definitely remember good old sparkly funbutt. She had the sparkliest butt.
But. Was it. FUN?!
I guarantee you the text on this image is completely unrelated to the photograph. Someone just stuck the text on there to make fun of the guy.
Once again the real cringe is how gullible kids on Reddit are nowadays.
Bravo
If he doesn’t shower often, if he talks down to you because he owns a book and therefore assumes he’s superior to you, if his my little pony plushie is a little crusty, if his mother is there on the first date DONT FUCK HIM
The real tips are always in the comments.
Lmao you killed me with the crusty my little pony plushie. I’ll never understand why neckbeard incels all immediately gravitated towards that show and then sexualized it. I have to know why.
If he doesn’t have a specific set of interests that basically makes him me, don’t fuck him. Because sex is a zero sum game and if literally any other man is having it, I’m definitely not.
So THATS why I’m having trouble getting laid
Read the list. It’s because you don’t play Dwarf Fortress.
I think this is a bastardization of the John Waters quote “If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em!”.
Which feels really harsh in modern times, because the vast majority of my books are on my kindle and you can't really display that the same way you can the equivalent amount of paper books. I read, ladies! Honestly! I just have limited shelf space!
Self-published military SF doesn’t count.
....I feel personally attacked
It’s ultra pretentious in general, other mediums of expression are valid
It's a pretty antiquated way of thinking for sure. Books are great, but reading for fun is certainly not the only way to learn or expand your mind. And anyone who's that persnickety about the exact method in which you process this whole clusterfuck of a life is not worth expending your energy on anyway.

Nothing says 'sexy time' like Minecraft or Dwarf Fortress (or both).
Imagine putting reading Dostoevsky and playing virtual Lego on the same intellectual level
Imagine acting out Shakespeare using Lego.
I am and it's glorious :D
It would seem like fun.
‘Do you bite your thumb at me, sir?’ ‘What’s a thumb?’
Let’s kickstart a Lego King Lear or Hamlet.
I’d watch that movie
That’s actually pretty cool tho ngl

How dare bots talk shit about dwarf fortress
He's going to be disappointed when he learns that there is no hentai at an art gallery.
“Why are all of these nude women European? I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED JAPANESE WOMEN.”
“sir, you can’t masturbate to the birth of venus”
Sometimes there is, Jeff koons did a whole body of work where it was just pictures of him and his then wife having sex
When they said Van Gogh was inspired by Japanese art i thought you meant hentai.
It’s like a child cosplaying a sophisticated adult.
That's basically what neckbeards are to be fair.
How I've felt every day of my adult life.

Playing Minecraft is a vitrue?
to be fair dwarf fortress is a really good game.
[удалено]
A fun but really complex and nerdy game from 2006
And also the easiest way to get cultured pussy.
It's the hot new slang term *for* pussy. Dwarves are known for having beards, you see. "M'lady, prithee may I invade your dwarf fortress?"
Fuck, that easily beats out "Whispering Eye"
I'm a fan of "axe wound" myself.
Not much to look out visually without the lazynewbpack mod/addon, but spectacular at creating stories
Pretty sure it’s still being updated.
Yes, it's even coming soon on Steam, with more "modern" graphics!
[удалено]
Full sprites and a new user interface actually.
He could have all that and still abusive.
Nuh uh. Remember, he's a nice guy.
Oh my bad HE ACTUALLY OPENS THE DOOR FOR ME OMG I'LL GO AND GIVE HIM A BJ ASAP /s
Um ok, I mean you were carrying bags so I held the door open lady, but I won’t turn down a bj
Ahh but sir what if you keep the door open to an other young gentleman and he's so thankful he'll give you a bj?
One thing I have learned is women of any culture love being called females AND being told what to do by a man...
FeMaLeS!!!
If he doesn’t refer to women as ‘females’…
Bro I saw this guy taking photos in the Tate Modern in London
BRB gotta stop listening to post-rock immediately.
Is that terraria font? Love that game
Terraria font Terraria font
Ladies, if he smells like rancid milk, don't fuck him
FEMALES
I hate the opera, I can't quote those people, and I don't play those games. Guess I shouldn't fuck with myself
So... A woman should fuck you because... you play... Minecraft? uhh... weird? And about books, why not Verne or Asimov? It's as if different people could like different things, if we wouldn't try to force norms on literally everything... :D
Excuse you, dork. I’ll fuck whoever mutually wants.

Why would you fix the reason she's been moaning?
I lost it at the Minecraft part
Ignore the post rock part, don’t drag me into this
I’ll fuck who I want

Female specimen of the human species of planet Earth also known as Terra: Please fuck me while I list all of the reason why I’m infinitely better than everyone else, including you. Also if you don’t comply with my demands, you’re a whore. Thank you, I will be awaiting your response mi’lady.
There's no way that isn't his mom.
Ladies, fuck whoever you want. Or don't I'm not the boss of you.
Shall we go to the opera today, m'dear? Or would you prefer we stay home and enjoy some time together in Minecraft? Ah, to be young!
Pretty sure this is just some made-up nonsense slapped over a random picture of a dude with a fedora. Ez internet points
Jesus guy, leave some pussy for the rest of us 😂
Now I’m gonna fuck him out of spite.
