Shakespeare one shots

AMSND headcanons

If you read the ANs, you know I played Hermia in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Naturally, my nerdy ass goes "Oh look, couples! I can write about that!" 

Also: these are my personal modern AU headcanons, and quite a few don't follow the characters as they're originally written. 

Enjoy! 

♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ 

Hermia (I literally made most of these during rehearsals): 

 - The kind of girl who wears pink every day but will still kick your ass 

 - So protective it's scary 

 - Some minor (major) father issues 

 - Probably a theater nerd 

 - Self-confidence at 100% always 

 - Sassy 

 - S a s s y 

 - Denim jacket, crop top, jeans, combat boots 

 - Chews gum more often than not 

 - Acts energetic but is actually running on three hours of sleep 

 - Fucking insomniac 

 - The sort of person to trip and then turn it into this giant acrobatic thing with flips and spins and finishes with the splits 

 - Kinda awesome 

 - But still scary 

 - Sworn to protect Helena with her life 

 - Never afraid to deck someone 

 - Gryftherin 

Lysander: 

 - High-key concerned about Hermia (who isn't tbh) 

 - Good at really obscure things, like pogo sticks and the oreo challenge 

 - Says "mood" way too much 

 - Trying to be cool but actually just making himself look stupid 

 - But it's fine 

 - Because he's really sweet and fun 

 - And everyone already loves him 

 - Social butterfly 

 - Loves parties but gets drunk really easily 

 - Secretly kinda insecure 

 - The kind of guy who carries hair binders and tampons because he has so many female friends 

 - You'd expect him to be gay but he's not 

- He's bi 

 - Like me 

 - He's internally a kindergartener, but he can actually handle really deep topics and serious conversation if it's needed 

 - On the other hand, he may legally be an adult, but don't be fooled. He has no idea what the hell he's doing. 

 - Griffynpuff 

 Helena: 

 - The sweet one 

 - Like if Evan Hansen and Heather M were melded into a bookworm 

 - Outwardly shy but sees all 

 - The quiet observer 

 - Saves Hermia's ass on the daily 

 - Like, someone insults her, and she has to physically hold Hermia back from murdering them 

 - Because "Dammit, you're not getting another detention on my watch!" 

 - Sweaters and leggings 

 - Usually smells like leaves, dirt, or river water 

 - Always has a pack of mint gum that she shares with Hermia 

 - Damn good liar 

 - It's actually a bit unsettling 

 - Surprisingly good at manipulating people 

 - Debate queen 

 - Doesn't care if you insult her, but if you attack someone she cares about... 

 - Oh God 

 - Run away 

 - She will ruin your life 

 - Slowly, friend by friend, your circle of people will dissolve 

 - Anyway 

 - Ravenpuff 

Demetrius: 

 - Ooooh 

 - He's interesting 

 - Insecurity? 

 - Absolutely, but that secret will follow him to the grave 

 - Really hard to read 

 - King of eye rolls 

 - He's friends with Lysander, what did you expect 

 - Sarcastic little shit 

 - Cares about the other three more than he'll ever admit 

 - Has the ability to look into your soul through your eyes 

 - Acts like he knows everything but is actually mess when it comes to emotions 

 - He only cries around Helena and maybe the other two 

 - Occasionally has nightmares about people he loves dying and then spends the rest of the night cuddling with Helena 

 - Cuties 

 - Anywho, he's pretty existential 

- As in he can spend literal hours alone with his thoughts 

 - Just sitting and thinking 

 - Has probably accidentally solved the universe and thought of the cure for cancer 

 - Total Ravenclaw 

These are fun, I'm totally doing more. Probably the faeries next. (Not you guys, but the actual faeries. Not that you're not magical, but Oberon is probably more magical.)
