Grey Lady Effect

*Referring to Lady Helena Ravenclaw from J.K Rowling's Harry Potter*

This happens when someone (Often an offspring/friend/spouse/partner of someone famous) gets overshadowed by well... Someone famous (Like how Helena Ravenclaw was being constantly compared and overshadowed to her mother, Rowena Ravenclaw.). It results on the former being constantly compared to, bullied, underestimated or outright discriminated by clueless people based on the latter (The Famous Person), causing mental strain and low self-esteem.

To famous people who have ordinary children/friends/spouses/partners, please never give the Grey Lady effect to them. It sucks. Real bad.
Severus, son of a celebrity dad: I hate my dad. I love acting, but being constantly compared to my dad's achievements kills me.

Dyl: That's the Grey Lady effect for you.
Phyl: That sucks. Being a shadow to your dad.
Severus: I don't like it. I love my dad, but I hate the people treating me like shit because of his fame. I wish I can just be me.

Romeo and Juliet

An actually good and simple love story bastardized by an English playwright, featuring a fiery but gentle lady from the Capulets/Cappellettis, a stubborn but passionate lad from the Montagues/Montecchis, poison, secret marriage, dagger, death and sleeping with some old bones.
If only those damn teachers know Romeo and Juliet for what it actually is...

Polyamory

Warning: This thing requires a lot of copium to work.(To be honest, it never works.)

So what is Polyamory? Well it's just the flower term for consented cheating. Glorified by cheaters and cuckolds alike, it is having 2 or more partners in a romantic relationship because one is not satisfied with only one partner.

Only idiots will consider this an option, and only the insanely sick commits to this.

Don't do this. Be like an eagle. Be monogamous.

There are so many reasons why it's stigmatized. Just don't do it.
Womyn Karentard: Polyamory is the new norm! It must be promoted to the wider populace! I have two fat non-binary (Male) partners and it's glorious. Best decision of my life. UwU.

Romeo: Only the mentally ill does that, Womyn.

Womyn Karentard: Shut up you cis white male filth!!!! I am always right! I'm sure your partner hates you!!!

Romeo: Uhh... No. We've been together since the 13th century.

Womyn Karentard: MONOGAMY IS CONSTRAINT! IT IS THE ENEMY OF LOVE UDWIWGWUSHEKSJWGASJDVKAAVAAUQ!!!!!!!!!!!

Romeo: You sound like an idiot.

Womyn Karentard: HJSHDJSIASSHAJA SHUT UP MALE SWINE DHJWSHIA!!!!!!!

Dark Romeo

An interpretation of Romeo Montague from Romeo and Juliet that features the guy having dark and creepy tendencies. It ranges from stalker-like behavior to going full nuts after losing his Juliet.

The 1982 Romeo and Juliet film and the Hungarian adaptation of Gerard Presgurvic's Romeo et Juliette: De La Haine a L'Amour had this kind of Romeo interpretation as one of their main flavor.
Dyl: Saw Romeo and Juliet today in a community theatre. The Romeo is kind of creepy, yet very romantic.
Phyl: He must be a Dark Romeo.

Pop Music

The ultimate musical sacrilege.

Made by soulless businessmen in the Record Label industry, these rats often hire attractive people (movie actors, models, homeless people or whatever) with a decent voice (Mostly hardcore fucked by autotune to sound nice) to sing their lifeless songs for them. They also utilize flashy videos (Which covers up the mess called the "lyrics") featuring the "artist's" heavily-edited abs or fake buttcheeks (Sometimes, they even go full birthday suit...) with dancers doing brothel shit. (It's often lewd as Hell.) Combine it with proven-and-tested "catchy rhythm and melodies" (For boosting the hype of the listener) and intense marketing, it becomes a cash cow for the company who produces it, with views beating both Rock and Art Music combined, and has a popularity rate that is higher than Burj Khalifa.

It preys on the clueless teenagers (Mostly young ladies) with its hype generator, love/edgy lyrics and attractive "artists", harboring tons of money through concert tickets and online albums. It poisons the minds of people through the radio and streaming platforms repeating it again and again, until the populace says it's a good one.

It rips your soul away in every repetition on the radio. It makes you stupid in every lyric. It manipulates you in every beat.

This is Pop Music.
Brittany: would you like to listen to Beyonce?
Dyl: I would rather sniff my own shit than to listen to pop music.

Classic Romeo

This (Full name: Classic Shakespearean Romeo) interpretation often follows the Shakespearean Tragedy as a guide, and as a result, most of the actors who did this interpretation often falls flat and outright boring. Those who nailed this, well... IDK. I've never seen actors who nailed this interpretation, as I think it's far harder to portray than its counterpart, Dark Romeo.

(To be honest with you reader, I hate Classic Romeo.)
Dyl: Do you like Romeo in Romeo and Juliet?
Phyl: Yes, but not the one in the Shakespearean Play. It's a Classic Romeo, and it never fails to give me the worst kind of cringe ever known to man.

& Juliet

The woke musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet featuring a neofeminist blackwashed Juliet, an annoying Romeo (Not him of all...), the Francois bullshit, the non-binary nonsense and a shitty journey after she escaped the tomb. Combine it with flashing lights, lazily-made mashup of mainstream pop music, cringy costume designs, out-of-place "necromancy" (They revived damn Romeo like God... Just give him the rest he deserved.) and dopamine triggers and it becomes a hit in Broadway and West End. A desecration of Da Porto, Bandello and Shakespeare's work. The ultimate sacrilege.
Karyn, the Woketard: &Juliet rocks! Broadway never fails to make a good Romeo and Juliet musical... I mean a Juliet musical because no Romeo this time. Girl Power!
Phyl, a Shakespeare R and J fan: That musical can suck my dick. An insult to Shakespeare.
Dyl, a Rómeó és Júlia fan: They turned Romeo of all things into a jerk... What a sacrilege. Also, Broadway is just overrated for me.
Karyn, the Woketard: You guys are just whiny haters. & Juliet for the win!
Dyl and Phyl: *facepalm*
