Why did you pick your profile pic?
Or just feel free to talk about it.
My profile picture is the Magician enemy from the game Persona 3, based on the major arcana.
I kept the picture because it reminds me of
when it's rounded.What about you?
i chose this portrait of Ira Aldridge as Othello, hes the first black actor to play othello on a large stage (before it was done by white men in blackface/ brownface) i think hes cool, he was an abolitionist, and its a nice picture. this was my second choice also Ira Adridge
and my third also a depiction of Ira aldridge as Othello, but i figured it would be too cringe to have a statue as a profile pic
i love that corsalet in the second choice
agreed
Oh shoot, I had no idea! I figured it was Othello, but I had no idea there was so much history around this actor.
yeah he lived a super interesting life and i find it so tragic that he died just before he was about to return to America post civil war. also hes super handsome.
Oh, God. This reminds me that I'm technically a white guy that played Othello, we covered it in high school English and got characters to read the lines of as we went through. The whole class was white and we drew characters from a hat. I ended out being the lead in everything, got to be Shylock in Merchant of Venice, John Proctor in The Crucible and Berenger in La Rhinoceros (that was fun cause I did a quebecois accent for it). AP English didn't make the best casting choices.
wild! did you have fun? i was mercutio in romeo and juliet and i loved it.
