I Did Love You Once

I did love you once

Sometimes, you do a word-search in Hamlet and you find something you never noticed before. 

This line appears all through Don’t Touch: “I did love you once.“ 

Hamlet says that to Ophelia.

And later Rosenkrantz says to Hamlet: "My Lord, you once did love me.”

Oh, Hamlet, so fickle. Were I in high school, I’d write a paper about it.

Hello! I wanted to say you're an absolutely amazing and talented artist, I adore everything you draw! I wanted to know if you would ever consider drawing Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. I feel like you could make them look super cool! And I feel like they'd be hella gay, but that's just me. Thank you if you read this at all!

Thanks! I’ve gotten this request before so I know people want to see them. I haven’t been very inspired to draw them as of late but who knows, maybe some day. They’d be fun to redesign.

Also I did draw them once ten years ago and look what I dug up for you below the cut.
