Hamlet/Horatio=OTP Though
Sep. 10th, 2011 02:18 pmThe Gay Hamlet Ficathon I've seen mentioned a few places this weekend is making me lol, since just a few days ago ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
colourofsaying and I were having this conversation:
masterofmidgets: we may have just reached critical nerd mass btw
colourofsaying: I thought we were doing that earlier when we were talking about the psychological reasons why Horatio would hook up in a self-flagellating relationship with Fortinbras
masterofmidgets: I would also love to see the fic where Fortinbras is super awkward and miserable taking over Denmark because a) EVERYONE BEFORE HIM DIED HORRIBLY and b) everyone still left and especially Horatio is constantly sighing over what a better king Hamlet would have made if he hadn't been bugfuck crazy
colourofsaying: And he's like "I thought this would be fun!"
masterofmidgets: it's a very challenging political state for a young king at the best of times
masterofmidgets: let alone when most of your support people are traumatized from Claudius or used to dealing with Hamlet and his crazy
masterofmidgets: and Horatio should be helping him
colourofsaying: and he sort of is!
colourofsaying: but he's also spending a lot of time crying on battlements.
masterofmidgets: but he has a tendency to sigh pointedly and start talking about how /Hamlet/ would have done it that way
colourofsaying: ...Fortinbras has a completely unrequited crush, doesn't he?
colourofsaying: he writes these long letters to his uncle about how smart and mature and solid and dependable Horatio is, and how he's also an amaaaazing fighter, he moves so gracefully, and his hair flutters...
colourofsaying: and his uncle is all '...riiiiight.'
masterofmidgets: it is a tragic and doomed love
colourofsaying: since Horatio will... never really get over Hamlet.
masterofmidgets: and you know what that means
masterofmidgets: time for tragic porn!
colourofsaying: I would also like Horatio to more or less offer to have hatesex, and Fortinbras to be all '...no. I am sort of in love with you, and that would not be healthy for your brain, and I love you too much to allow you to fuck with yourself.'
masterofmidgets: although I would settle for Horatio going in for masochistic hatesex and Fortinbas being all 'wait, what? *sadface*' but going along with it because it's the only way to get close to Horatio. So both of them would get what they want, in a way that makes them both miserable. I AM A TERRIBLE PERSON.
Completely unrelated to our terminal nerdery, but my mom has a new bunny. Which is awesome! The apartment has been sadly rabbit-less since the Toby bunny died in the spring (of old age, bless his tough little fuzzy butt), and the last month or so, she's put out the word that she was interested in getting another. Well, she turned up to a job this week and her client answered the door with a rabbit in her arms, so problem solved. New bunny is named Lily (or possibly Izzy) and is absolutely precious - and only about 20% the size of the previous bunny. I have pictures!
