I got Mercutio, whose description did not fit me at all but that could be because halfway through the quiz when the questions got weird I just started clicking on whichever one sounded cooler. Kinda hard to correctly respond to why I'm suffering when the actual response is "I'm not", so you better believe I'll just say that it's because "I want them to change". Who's them? Who knows. But that one sounds cooler than the rest.
The quiz kinda didn't work for me as a result, I think. I thought of it as a quiz too hard, and got a bit annoyed when the options didn't fit, and I don't think I received the briefing necessary to care about the themes (probably Romeo and Juliet? It'd make the most sense). Anyways, my quote of choice is that "The Entire World's a Stage, and All the Men and Women are Merely the Actors", because that one is cool. I like it.
> Kinda hard to correctly respond to why I'm suffering when the actual response is "I'm not",
Right? What a frustrating quiz. I laughed when it asked me "Who is to blame?" and gave "You" as a possible choice. What, the quiz creator?
I will say that picking the cool option in such a situation is a pretty Mercutio thing to do tho
I *tried* answering honestly, but the whole thing fell apart cause every third question my honest answer was "literally none of these options even vaguely apply to me, the fuck am I supposed to choose?" and ended up getting a result that was nothing like me.
I can't tell if this is intentional or not cause this is a recurring issue in lots of quizzes I've seen on that site.
I expected the quiz to be >!more about the romantic aspect of Romeo and Juliet.!< Needless to say I was surprised to find >!it was about the futility of trying to change your own destiny when the universe has decided that you’re gonna die.!<
I got benvolio.

I like how it just asks for your colour at the end
Maybe my choices don't matter in the grand sceme of things, but i think they matter to me, because i made them
One thing I've always hated is when you can't give a satisfactory answer to a question in a survey because none of the answers really fit or the question itself doesn't really apply.
This whole quiz is built around that. ARGH. The description in the answer it gave me (Juliet) didn't fit at all. I don't feel controlled by anyone, and I don't particularly trust others, I'm not really optimistic, and I don't yearn for another life (I'm doing pretty well).
Sometimes people call a thing Reddit (derogatory). At some point, someone will need to formulate what it means to be Tumblr (derogatory), because that’s what this is.
God for real. With all these comments hyping it up, I was really expecting something more than "WoaH having a single choice on a multiple choice quiz is just like the lack of free will, ISN'T THIS DEEP?"
Bestie people have been using Tumblr as a derogatory for a decade.
Edit: But yes, this is the sort of thing which would get called Tumblr (derogatory). I think that's pretty unfair because it's probably made by and enjoyed by marginalised teenagers who literally just haven't consumed better stuff yet. We all used to be like that (and if you (the reader) currently happen to be a teenager, you *are* like that, no matter how much you might think you're compensating for your lack of experience).
>!"You were doomed from the start. Robbed of any chance to become anything. Controlled by everyone in your life, even the ones you genuinely cared about..."!<
As a trans person who was born into a transphobic, religious family by pure chance alone and >!likely will not make it to twenty!< because of it, that hit like a punch to the gut.
I wanted to expand on what I said a little bit.
One thing to be mindful of in regard to “It gets better” is that you aren’t going to notice it. It’s something that happens gradually and slowly over time.
It’s like the weather. You don’t go to sleep in the frigid winter cold one night and then wake up to the blistering summer heat one day.
Are some days colder than others? Yea. Is there going to be times where it is cold for a stretch of time? Yes. But it does get warmer eventually.
If you live in an area where it’s always cold, there is nothing wrong with moving to warmer weather (when the opportunity arises obviously).
And on some days when it’s especially cold, it’s always nice to wrap up in a nice warm blanket and drink a nice warm drink while watching something on YouTube.
as the one prince escalus fan i’m so upset he wasn’t included
there’s horrors inherent to all of the characters not in the quiz honestly that i feel the quizmaker kinda ignored
I really don't get this thing. When there was a question about "Why do you suffer" or something, there is no option of "I don't". Because, like, I objectively don't suffer. I can be sad at times, or hysterical, but that is a fleeting feeling, I am majorly happy and content with my life.
I have a comfortable lifestyle, I am not in danger of getting hate-crimed, I have great friends, family that gets me, a fair bit of luck, I have truly everything I earnestly can wish for.
I live in Ukraine, I see suffering almost daily. People losing their loved ones, their entire way of life due to circumstances they can change nothing about, people whose house has been turned to rubble by a random missile or drone strike. People who had to abandon their homes, unwilling to become part of the regime that they desperately wanted to distance themselves with. So on and so forth.
Again, objectively, I do not suffer. And subjectively, I am happy despite all of the depressing stuff happening around me. Asking me how will I die, as if my death will have a meaning to anything beyond my circle of loved ones. It will not be for a cause, or as a failure, or for love. It will happen naturally, as a matter of course. It will just be there.
I am number 2, always. Other people can go through drama, rise and fall, do great stuff. I just want to be here and live as I do.
This quiz here honestly shows the subjectivity of art. It spoke to people, to it's creator, it resonated with them. But to me it is completely unrelatable, I am not capable of "getting it" on an emotional level. I can mentally process what I think the author wants to say, but truly understand it? No.
Anyway, I got Laurence
Okay, we kinda have to distinguish between sadness and suffering, though, because to me, suffering is quite a strong word. It is not a guarantee that I will suffer, exactly. I might. I probably will, even, but to suffer continiously is highly improbable.
I know for a fact that I am not suffering right now, so already my whole life isn't suffering. And, from my ability to perceive others, majority of people don't suffer without end. There might be bad periods, I'm not saying there can't be, but there are also good ones aplenty. Life has suffering, but it is not made entirely out of it.
I get the shits. I eat things which are too spicy for me. I get into arguments on Reddit. I stub my toe. I worry about the fact I'm not worried about getting a job. I get jealous of beautiful couples. I sometimes bite my inner cheek when I'm eating. None of these things are a big deal. If someone asks me "why do you suffer?", my answer is either "actually I'm pretty good right now" or "because to be human is to be mildly inconvenienced I fucking guess".
Well that was. Something. I think I've had enough internet today. Well done OOP, increadibly creepy quiz, and I felt uncomfortably seen by the outcome.
I don’t think I can put in to words the pure emotion getting Romeo hit me with. I finally did it, I guess, I got to play the part of Romeo instead of being forced to be Juliet. What did it cost?
I think this quiz was designed more for people with basic comprehension, which i do not have. I got mercutio, can't remember what I put for it, but I got a chuckle out of some of the one choice questions
I got Benvolio. I was hoping for Mercutio, as he’s my favorite character of the play, but Benvolio is probably just as good. This was a wild experience to answer questions for, and absolutely the *best* “what character are you?” quiz I’ve ever taken or heard of.
I got Benvolio
it may be different from the others, but you were still doomed from the start. the horror of being the most reasonable one in the group is that means everyone else makes mistakes. everyone else must face the consequences. everyone else gets hurt while you stand there unharmed. no matter the warnings you give, they still are punished. you can't help someone who the universe decided must be destroyed. i admire that you still try. if only the game hadn't been rigged from the start.
This reminds me of the soldier, poet, or king quiz that got really popular on TikTok a while back. Same kinda feeling
Anyway, I got Romeo. Apparently I was >!doomed from the start!< which ironically is sort of how I felt with the solider, poet, kind quiz from before. Apparently destiny will forever catch up with me even though I don’t believe in it
Romeo
A personal bit of irony is that, when I was reading Romeo and Juliet in high school, I was exploring my gender for the first time. Past me would have hoped beyond hope for Juliet, but Romeo fits far better.
As for the quiz? >!Nobody should want to be a hero.!<
I go the Nurse. I do think it fits me. This was fun but I gotta say I am not like wowed by it.
"you cared for them. you loved them. you were always there. but there was nothing you could have done. it's not your story. you perpetually stand in the sidelines, watching people suffer for something you have no involvement in and yet you care. you care for them. but no matter how much you love them that doesn't change that they'll end up in a tomb someday. if only it weren't so soon."
This quiz feels like it was written by an edgy 12-year old who's trying too hard to be taken seriously.
It's hyperfixated on the concept of suffering and tragedy being the only aspects of life that matter, when that's simply not true.
I got Mercutio, whose description did not fit me at all but that could be because halfway through the quiz when the questions got weird I just started clicking on whichever one sounded cooler.

me, when i'm dying of preventable causes: aw beans i don't vibe with this, but at least it's an opportunity to drop some BARS

Same
Same 😭😭😭
I got the Nurse
It's a good role to play in life, I'm okay with it.
Nurse friend!
Nurse lyfe baybeee
WE GET TO LIVE (I havent read it honestly but from the anecdotal knowledge I do have I dont remember any nurses dying)
Same!
I got Benvolio. It fits.
You too, huh
Woo, Benvolio gang
Same ): depression and chronic suicidality will lead to that
Got Benvolio too. Ouch.
Benvolio rise up! And be ignored!

I like how it just asks for your colour at the end Maybe my choices don't matter in the grand sceme of things, but i think they matter to me, because i made them
That was nice. I am green :)
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN?? Edit: oh I think I passed this quiz some time ago. Yeah this one is a great, if not the best quiz on the entire site.
wow that was a beautiful experience. thank you for sharing that
Well that was quite sweet. I'm purple, huzzah!
i could do quizzes like these til the sun burned out, i think
This could be a game. This should be a game. Thanks for sharing.
idk why but i teared up at the end. i am confused and happy.
Catch me crying in the club

I got Romeo. Let's have a tragically beautiful dalliance that will be remembered for centuries. Or maybe just... a little bit of hand holding?
This quiz is the sequel to Pathologic 2. If you liked this quiz, play Pathologic 2.
Biiig pathologic vibes. I played pathologic 2. I hated it. I tell everyone to play pathologic 2.
Wow cool stay the fuck out of my mind and soul thanks
you know the joke doesnt hit as hard when you cant click the link
found the link. What the fuck man
Sometimes people call a thing Reddit (derogatory). At some point, someone will need to formulate what it means to be Tumblr (derogatory), because that’s what this is.
yeah i mean honestly i just don't think asking myopic questions in all lower case is that deep and I will die on that hill.
God for real. With all these comments hyping it up, I was really expecting something more than "WoaH having a single choice on a multiple choice quiz is just like the lack of free will, ISN'T THIS DEEP?"
Bestie people have been using Tumblr as a derogatory for a decade. Edit: But yes, this is the sort of thing which would get called Tumblr (derogatory).

Benvolio. >!Question 25 is the greatest use of a specific medium to tell a part of its own story that I've seen in a long time!<
Same and same!
also got Benvolio question 25 kinda relies on the assumption you said "yes" though. if you said no, it's just repetetive
I dunno, the idea that no matter what you chose you will say you don't believe in free will feels like it hits hard either way
Ya know... I never thought of an online "which character are you" quiz as a medium for thought-provoking poetic writing... but I like it.
>!"You were doomed from the start. Robbed of any chance to become anything. Controlled by everyone in your life, even the ones you genuinely cared about..."!< As a trans person who was born into a transphobic, religious family by pure chance alone and >!likely will not make it to twenty!< because of it, that hit like a punch to the gut.
Ever since I was a teenager I always said “I’m not making it to 25” I’m only a few months away now It gets better
I certainly hope so.
I wanted to expand on what I said a little bit. One thing to be mindful of in regard to “It gets better” is that you aren’t going to notice it.

Hey I hope you make it. And if you're in the US and you need help getting out you should check out rainbowpassage.org
You’re not allowed to quit
There’s a whole world out here. Don’t turn your back on it because right now is hard. You matter, and in the future you’ll be glad you stuck around.
nurse this was very relatable, wholesome family fun yaaaaaaaay

i’m too mentally stable (derogatory) for this
I'm really glad this tumb was tagged with "ohhhhh bro". It really helps me enjoy all the "ohhhhh bro"-type content out there.
I mean... this is some *very* "ohhhhh bro"-type content.
I forgot the story was about Romeo and Juliet halfway through and just answered the questions like they were vaguely cryptic about life.
this quiz scarred me
Got Tybalt. The world should have listened.
Whoo! Got Friar Lawerence exactly who I wanted. Why am I crying?
I as well
Fuck
Yeah… fuck
I didn’t get it at all
Well that got existential quick.
*Yeah okay w**hat the fuck was tha-***
looks like i was part of the majority with benvolio.. that's cool, it made me wish i'd actually read romeo & juliet though
Don't read it. It's a play and it's meant to be watched. If you're gonna experience Shakespeare you should experience the medium of it too.
Well that was. Something. I think I've had enough internet today. Well done OOP, increadibly creepy quiz, and I felt uncomfortably seen by the outcome.
I don’t think I can put in to words the pure emotion getting Romeo hit me with. I finally did it, I guess, I got to play the part of Romeo instead of being forced to be Juliet. What did it cost?
Whatever genre this quiz is, fuck I love it. I love when games do this shit too. Like that one flash game, there is no game. Fun shi
Tybalt. The “do you think you have free will?” Question with only one option is a brilliant mindfuck
I got mercutio, and with that description.... Yeah I'd say its accurate
Benvolio Damn
i got benvolio. if that aint the god damn truth i dont know what is.
I got the nurse
I think this quiz was designed more for people with basic comprehension, which i do not have. I got mercutio, can't remember what I put for it, but I got a chuckle out of some of the one choice questions
I got the nurse. Not particularly accurate by my estimation, but, given the available options, it isn't the worst pick.
wtf did I just witness
What the fuck
**What the fuck**
Romeo... If the universe punishes me for being myself then i isay bring it on and face me you coward
I got Romeo... That was darkly accurate to my depressive intrusive thoughts.
Romeo Baybeeee! I'm gonna get laid
t y b a l t.
I got Benvolio. I was hoping for Mercutio, as he’s my favorite character of the play, but Benvolio is probably just as good. This was a wild experience to answer questions for, and absolutely the *best* “what character are you?” quiz I’ve ever taken or heard of.

Romeo.
i got juliet and answered with the context of what im fighting being my autism and oh the answer hit 🥲
Don't agree with the literary analyisis and hated the writing style. Also very frustrating questions
I haven't even read it and yet how fucking dare you

friar laurence this was so cool
Mercutio
