herrow guys! :'D YAY USERNAME CHANGES <3

this will be a long journal xD

okay, well, we were reading "Romeo and Juliet" in english class xD I've always liked Romeo and Juliet....it's a really good/sad story.
BUT GOD.
I HATED READING IT.
STUPID SHAKESPEARE TALK. CAN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD OF WHAT THEY MEAN AND DIDN'T UNTIL MY TEACHER TRANSLATED.

anyways xD i got the idea of writing a comic based on Romeo and Juliet :'D but using my OC's xD
YEAH, I KNOW. THERE ARE ENOUGH ROMEO AND JULIET PARODIES OUT THERE BUT I WANNA HAVE FUN TOO.
my friend is going to help me understand what they say, and i'm gonna put it in modern language so everyone else can understand xD

i want you guys' help on deciding who should be who in it :'D
as you know. i have. only boy OC's.
and i do not want to use any babies i adopted xD
so yes.
it will be like a gay Romeo and Juliet story. LOL.

NOW~~
here is how you could take part in it :'D
some of my characters may not suit any of the roles, so if you have a character you think should hold a part in my comic, LIST HIM/HER DOWN THERE BBY <3 with the character and role you want him/her to have~
BUT.
sorry. but. i WOULD like the Roles of Romeo and Juliet to be held by two guys, and have either Romeo or Juliet be one or both of my characters. cause, well, its my comic lol, AND I'M A YAOI FREAK HAHA.
Juliet in my comic will have the name "Julius" LOL I'M SO CREATIVE~~~
any other roles though, such as Nurse, and any Female characters may be held by females :'D
this is a huge project, and i will be drawing these pages traditionally, and then do them in SAI, since i have not yet learned how to fully use Manga Studio yet.
this comic will be read from left to right.

THIS IS WHAT SHOULD BE IN YOUR COMMENT:
♥ NAME OF EITHER MY CHARACTER(S) OR YOUR CHARACTER(S)
♥ ROLE YOU THINK WOULD SUIT THAT CHARACTER
♥ REFERENCE PICTURE (IF YOUR CHARACTER)
♥ AND WHY YOU THINK THAT CHARACTER SHOULD TAKE THAT ROLE.

ALL OF MY OC's CAN BE FOUND HERE: [link]

SO.
HERE ARE THE LIST OF CHARACTERS IN ROMEO AND JULIET (minus some smaller roles):
INFORMATION COPY AND PASTED FROM SPARKNOTES LOL:
ANY CHARACTER WITH A "♫" BY HIM/HER MEANS THEY SHOW UP ONLY ONCE, RARELY, OR NOT AT ALL:

Romeo - The son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague. A young man of about sixteen, Romeo is handsome, intelligent, and sensitive. Though impulsive and immature, his idealism and passion make him an extremely likable character.
Juliet JULIUS-  The daughter SON of Capulet and Lady Capulet. A beautiful thirteen-year-old girl BOY LOL, Juliet begins the play as a naïve child who has thought little about love and marriage, but she HE grows up quickly upon falling in love with Romeo, the son of her HIS family's great enemy.
Friar Lawrence -  A Franciscan friar, friend to both Romeo and Juliet. Kind, civic-minded, a proponent of moderation, and always ready with a plan, Friar Lawrence secretly marries the impassioned lovers in hopes that the union might eventually bring peace to Verona.
Mercutio -  A kinsman to the Prince, and Romeo's close friend. One of the most extraordinary characters in all of Shakespeare's plays, Mercutio overflows with imagination, wit, and, at times, a strange, biting satire and brooding fervor. Mercutio loves wordplay, especially sexual double entendres. He can be quite hotheaded, and hates people who are affected, pretentious, or obsessed with the latest fashions.
The Nurse -  Juliet's nurse, the woman who breast-fed Juliet when she was a baby and has cared for Juliet her entire life. A vulgar, long-winded, and sentimental character, the Nurse provides comic relief with her frequently inappropriate remarks and speeches.
Tybalt -  A Capulet, Juliet's cousin on her mother's side. Vain, fashionable, supremely aware of courtesy and the lack of it, he becomes aggressive, violent, and quick to draw his sword when he feels his pride has been injured.
Capulet -  The patriarch of the Capulet family, father of Juliet, husband of Lady Capulet, and enemy, for unexplained reasons, of Montague. He truly loves his daughter, though he is not well acquainted with Juliet's thoughts or feelings, and seems to think that what is best for her is a "good" match with Paris.
Lady Capulet -  Juliet's mother, Capulet's wife. A woman who herself married young (by her own estimation she gave birth to Juliet at close to the age of fourteen), she is eager to see her daughter marry Paris.
Montague -  Romeo's father, the patriarch of the Montague clan and bitter enemy of Capulet. At the beginning of the play, he is chiefly concerned about Romeo's melancholy.
Lady Montague -  Romeo's mother, Montague's wife. She dies of grief after Romeo is exiled from Verona.
Paris -  A kinsman of the Prince, and the suitor of Juliet most preferred by Capulet. Once Capulet has promised him he can marry Juliet, he behaves very presumptuous toward her, acting as if they are already married.
Benvolio -  Montague's nephew, Romeo's cousin and thoughtful friend, he makes a genuine effort to defuse violent scenes in public places, though Mercutio accuses him of having a nasty temper in private.
Prince Escalus -  The Prince of Verona. A kinsman of Mercutio and Paris. As the seat of political power in Verona, he is concerned about maintaining the public peace at all costs.
Friar John -  A Franciscan friar charged by Friar Lawrence with taking the news of Juliet's false death to Romeo in Mantua. Friar John is held up in a quarantined house, and the message never reaches Romeo.
Balthasar -  Romeo's dedicated servant, who brings Romeo the news of Juliet's death, unaware that her death is a ruse.
♫ Sampson & Gregory -  Two servants of the house of Capulet, who, like their master, hate the Montagues. At the outset of the play, they successfully provoke some Montague men into a fight.
♫ Abram -  Montague's servant, who fights with Sampson and Gregory in the first scene of the play.
♫ The Apothecary -  An apothecary in Mantua. Had he been wealthier, he might have been able to afford to value his morals more than money, and refused to sell poison to Romeo.
♫ Peter -  A Capulet servant who invites guests to Capulet's feast and escorts the Nurse to meet with Romeo. He is illiterate, and a bad singer.
♫ Rosaline -  The woman with whom Romeo is infatuated at the beginning of the play. Rosaline never appears onstage, but it is said by other characters that she is very beautiful and has sworn to live a life of chastity.
THE CHORUS WILL BE NO PARTICULAR CHARACTER.
THERE ARE ALSO EVEN MORE SMALLER ROLES, SUCH AS PEOPLE IN THE STREETS, SERVANTS, WORKERS, AND SUCH. WHICH WILL BE HELD BY MY CHARACTERS, AS THEY ARE NOT HUGE ROLES.

HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU GUYS SOON <3
