Round 3 - Return of the Meme

Round 3 - Return of the Meme

General Rules
  • Personal attacks and any kind of abusive trolling, hate speech, or bullying are obviously forbidden. Anon comments violating this rule will be deleted, signed in members will be banned.
  • If your comment is deleted/screened/frozen and you don't know why, please email the mod at  hhanonmeme@gmail.com. (If you notice it happening to your comments and you know they're safe, a quick email for the mod to come and unscreen them would be helpful also).
  • Prompt posts will close to new prompts at 3,000 comments.
Prompting Rules
  • One prompt per comment. 
  • Please follow the correct format (see below).
  • Include trigger warnings in the subject line. Use your discretion and please be considerate.
  • If your prompt is missing something, such as a subject or a warning, repost it in it’s entirety. It is not enough to reply to your own comment with the missing information. The mod will delete the previous duplicate comment.
  • Multiple fills of the same prompt by different author!anons are allowed.
  • If for any reason you start a fill but feel you can't finish the WIP you've created, and if you're happy to let someone finish it for you, put it up for HH Meme Fostering and Adoption.
  • Prompts for projects other than Horrible Histories (ie. Spy, Gavin and Stacy, Rev, St. Trinian's, the O2 adverts etc., and RPF involving actors from those projects should be posted at the What? They've acted in other things?! post.
Format of Prompts
  • Put [RPF] before RPF prompts. 
  • For crossover prompts: "[Crossover], HH Character(s)/Other Character(s), [Fandom]" 
  • Anyone, everyone, no one? Use "Other."
  • Put [GEN] before GEN prompts, just so you don't get unwanted shipping.
  • Use appropriate warnings. I'm trusting you all to know what that means.
  • Don't embed any photos, videos or other media.
  • Copy and paste links in full; anon comments with active coded links are marked as spam  and the mod doesn't switch accounts often enough - it may be a few days before those  screened comments are de-screened (see: emailing the mod a heads up if it happens).
Archiving Prompts and Fills
That's nearly the end of the storia, for onto the scene comes our much loved meme: HAIL TO THE QUEEN OF PROMPTIA.

Shakespeare/Richard III - Anonymous

(Anonymous) 2011-11-01 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
So you might have heard of a certain trainwreck of a movie called Anonymous, which (among other things) not only takes the line that Shakespeare's plays were actually written by the Earl of Oxford, but apparently portrays Shakespeare as basically a boorish, illiterate thug.

Well, Shakespeare hears of this film, and is, naturally, not best pleased at how he's been portrayed. In fact, he's downright fuming. Richard on the other hand can't help but be amused because, hey, now he knows what it feels like!

Cue mutual snarking that somehow leads to slash.

(IDEK... I just need something to cure my RAEG over that film. Help me, hhanon, you're my only hope!)

Haven't seen the film but I can just see Richard thoroughly enjoying Shakespeare's discomfort.

Seconded.

YES.

My poor mum was subjected to the full force of my 'it's offensive snobbery!' rant when I accidentally saw an advert for it. The only way I can think about it without getting angry is if I imagine Shakespeare getting angry instead.
