Summary
Welcome back to Studying the Popular, a blog where we dig into a different pop cultural topic every week. Today, we're discussing Nora Holleran's upcoming adaptation of Romeo and Juliet at the Globe, or, more accurately, the insane backlash she's gotten from a single press release.
---
Inspired by greenandmoss's rwrb actor-AU and a year spent on the committee for my university's Shakespeare Society.

half-tones of the soul’s consciousness by StarDancedDisdain

Summary
The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.
- Fernando Pessoa
Anne tries not to think about Frederick, but it is a hopeless exercise.

Summary
“Are we friends now?” Joe asks. Nicky reaches up to pat Joe on the back, shifting his weight through his hips so he’s got enough power to push Joe into the water. When Joe comes up, spluttering, hair hanging lank across his face, he stares at Nicky, who looks back at him with a lopsided smile.
“Now we’re friends.”
Ten years, two best friends, one couch that seems to have its own agenda. Friends-to-lovers with all the trimmings.- Language:

Summary
Nicky laughs as Joe noses into his neck. “You’ll give me the wrong idea,” Nicky says. They’ve done this before enough times that Joe knows, theoretically, to steer clear of Nicky’s neck; it’s a hotspot for him and intentionally letting his beard scrape along sensitive skin is a little mean.
“What if it’s not the wrong idea?” Joe says.
Nicky pulls away to study him. “What do you mean?” he asks.
Joe shrugs. “What’s a little fun between friends? I don’t want to be alone tonight, and I don’t want to put myself through meeting someone new. Plus, you’ve been a very good friend, and you deserve to be rewarded for it.”
