ART REVEAL!
Romeo and/or Juliet - my choose-your-own-path version of the Shakespeare play - comes out in THIS TUESDAY, and I’m counting down by sneaking a peek at some of the art in the book!!
If you play as Juliet, you might ditch this whole stupid “marrying boys” thing and instead form an all-women swim team and become their unstoppable coach. A.K.A. what you always WISHED Juliet would do in the play, am I right??
You have a really successful professional life and none of your kids ever drown, which, while a baseline measure of success for a swim coach, is still really satisfying.
Every ending in the book is illustrated, and this one is by Alex Culang and Raynato Castro from Buttersafe! Click for the big version :0

#most people don’t get the extent of what this means
#THEIR FATHERS HATE EACH OTHERS GUTS #LIKE NOT DISLIKE #BUT ACTUALLY LEGIT HATE
God bless Tolkien.
#somewhere else in middle earth thranduil and gloin are (separately) sobbing angrily #except their friendship mADE THEIR DADS STOP HATING EACH OTHER #I’M SORRY BUT THESE TWO WIN EVERYTHING
Two households, both alike in dignity,
in Middle Earth, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal realms of these two foes
A pair of star-cross’d brothers make their life
Whose misadventure Sauron overthrows,
And with his death, end their people’s strife.
Their fearful passage, that shall death mark’d prove
And the continuance of their parents’ rage
Which but The One Ring’s end, naught could remove,
Is now, like, twelve hours’ traffic of our stage;
The which of you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
did you just rewrite shakespeare for lord of the rings and make it work better than the original
