Never mind all these beautiful historical dramas I want a modern day sit com about the Romantic poets like
- Byron, Shelley, and Keats are roommates.
- Byron is constantly a dick and Keats is constantly like “fight me” and Shelley is constantly exasperated.
- “I swear to God, George, if you even think about fighting him-” “Well he asked me to.” “He’s also five feet tall.”
- Felicia Hemans lives across the hall from them and everyone thinks she’s really sweet because she bakes a lot and dresses conservatively but she is constantly lowkey throwing shade at everyone.
- Byron hates her because she’s better than him at everything.
- Mary Wollstonecraft also lives in their building and owns a lot of t-shirts with feminist slogans on.
- Every time she bumps into Shelley in the hallway he asks whether her daughter is coming to visit any time soon. He is much less subtle about it than he thinks he is.
- Byron frequently gets into flame wars with people on the internet.
- “George it’s 3am why are you still awake?” “Someone was talking shit about Pope.” “Not again.”
- At this point, Keats and Shelley have a script they can run through every time they open the door to a crying person asking why Byron never called them back.
- A running joke in which there is a loud noise every time someone says Shelley’s middle name correctly.
- Another running joke in which Byron and his sister constantly get mistaken for a couple.

The Romantics glitter pins on my etsy, they’re very glittery! Only three more Keats pins left for now, but I will stock them up as soon as I get my supplies again :-)

If anyone ever accuses you of doing something “for attention,” simply gaze heroically into the middle distance and murmur, “like Lord Byron before me.”

I’m sitting on the living room floor with a candle, an open bottle of wine and three books of 19th-century poetry and my flatmate just walked in and asked if I was trying to summon a demon

Told her I was hoping for the ghost of Lord Byron but that’s pretty much the same thing

Romeo and Juliet… Cleopatra and Mark Antony… Edward and Bella… okay… but have you considered: Lord Byron and Oscar Wilde

"I like to read biographies of dead poets." "Aren’t those a bit boring?" "You kidding me? Shelley died on a boat, Byron fucked everything that walked, and Yeats talked to dead people."

Lord Byron, no
Everyone who knew him, probably (via fyeahgothicromance)

The Romantics were the superheroes of 18th century literature. These poets wrote about nature, emotions, and personal themes when the current trends favored Enlightenment ideals (scientific thought, skepticism, and intellect). This group of men used their collective power of colloquial language to create poetry that emphasized intuition and the pastoral. Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats banded together to form the Romantics: the Avengers of classic literature.

Found this and thought it was relevant. It got me wondering: do other Armadillos have a go-to snack or drink when they’re writing?
