But you can’t kill a dead man.
tchaikowsky donating his skull to the royal shakespeare company in the hopes of becoming yorick is the most dramatic ass dark academia shit ever and you can’t convince me otherwise

I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS TRUE and you will not believe it that they never used on actual productions, only rehearsals because people got creeped out and didn’t want to use it, UNTIL DAVID TENNANT IN 2008
THAT MAD MAN ACTUALLY PERFORMED WITH THE REAL SKULL!
They had to stop using cause once the audience found out that was Tchaikovsky’s fucking bones(!) they got creeped out too and didn’t want it there, BUT DAVID JUST WENT “YEAH, LET ME HOLD THIS PIANIST’S FUCKING SKULL, WHO CARES”
Tchaikovsky DONATED IT FOR THAT PURPOSE. why did this creep anyone out? and why did they cave to the audience’s weird hangups?
some people are cowards
Cowards I’m not watching Hamlet unless there’s a real-ass skull in there
Let the man have his post-mortem stage time.

Staring at the past (by laz'andre)
“The ritual of burying in Sagada involves pushing the bodies into the tight spaces of the coffins, and often bones are cracked and broken as the process is completed.
I found one partially broken coffin, probably a century old, with a skull seemingly taking a peek of the outside world.”
Skull of a young man, probably from Denmark. The chain-mail hook remains in position.
