HAMLET: THE VLOG
Is it -- is it *GASP* a post that's not about Les Miserables? IT IS! (reposted from my tumblr from last night.)
Last night Essie and I were hanging out, as one does, and we were talking about the Lizzie Bennet Diaries, as one does, and about what other classic literature one could plausibly turn into video blogs.
and we were saying we need a main character who would vlog all about their life OF THEIR OWN ACCORD
and I was like
HAMLET
HAMLET TOTALLY WOULD
and now Essie and I need this like burning. IT WOULD BE A MILLION UNWATCHABLE EPISODES OF HAMLET ANGSTING AT THE INTERNET AND IT WOULD BE SHEER BRILLIANCE
we weren’t sure how the final scene where everyone dies would go
BUT THEN WE REALISED THAT HE TOTALLY MAKES HIS BRO HORATIO FILM THE WHOLE THING because Hamlet needs his epic duel with Laertes to be on the INTERWEBZ
and then shit goes down and WITH HIS DYING WORDS HAMLET TELLS HORATIO TO POST. THE ENTIRE. THING.
“So tell him, with the occurrents, more and less,
Which have solicited. The rest is silence.”
YEAH. YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT.
(also from tumblr from last night: I, perfume-hater to the degree where I don't even like mildly scented soap, review perfumes! And somehow manage to refrain from ever using the word "gross", unlike the last time I did this! Click here to read more!)

PETITION FOR THIS TO BE AN ACTUAL THING!

(I am also kind of addicted to the Lizzie Bennet Diaries!)
(although now I'm trying to think of something that would be like the bloodbath but not involve actual blood, sort of like the LBD updated the Lydia plot...)
ETA: ...your tumblr has MABEUF ART!!

And my tumblr has ALL THE BEST THINGS ON IT. Obviously. :P (MABEUF IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST THINGS.)

We should petition Hank and John to get behind this! It would be the perfect project to take on after Lizzie Bennett Diaries if they end up being a success, which they seem to be... (GAAAAAAH LYDIA NOOOOOOOO)

I do not personally feel comfortable approaching Famous Internet People and being like "I HAVE AN IDEA OF A THING YOU SHOULD DO" but I totally agree that it would be awesome if thye DID.
