When I saw the David Tennant/Catherine Tate version of “Much Ado About Nothing,” one line really zapped me. “Serve God, love me, and mend.” It was something about the delivery, the look between them, the calm mastery Tennant had of the language that made it so moving…

So naturally after I bought the video of the performance (which I SO OMG RECOMMEND) I needed an animated gif. I actually learned how to make an animated gif for this purpose. So here it is. I have to tweak it a bit but I have fully exhausted my Learning Animated Gifs allotment for the day. I’ve also watched it for five minutes straight. And sighed a lot. Now if someone could tell me how to put text over it, my life would be good. (I don’t own Photoshop, but I do own Photoshop Elements.)

Here!

Not many things occur to me to want to have at constant instant-replay ability… this has been playing in my head for months. Now Tumblr!

Melissa Anelli I LOVE YOU.

I know almost every word of Much Ado by heart. I have since forever. It’s simply one of my favorite plays ever. It’s a problem, really.
