Blazing Bill Shakespeare’s Badass Tombstone! + other attractions

It’s been a few months since I posted anything here (I’ve been competing in the Writeoff events), so here’s a little something to keep things tiding over. It was inspired by the inscription on William Shakespeare’s gravestone – or at least, that was my starting point – ’cause he wrote himself just the absolute best/creepiest epitaph, like, ever. How could you not love it?

(Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare,
To dig the dust enclosed here.
Blessed be the man that spares these stones,
And cursed be he that moves my bones.)

Ol' Bill was hardcore.

Which is why he isn't in Westminster with all the other dead heroes of England!

It's amazing how much english has changed in a paltry 400 years.

Poor, poor Luna.

It's a shame there isn't more pony Shakespeare stuff.
