EDIT 2: Looking at \\\"Winter Wrap Up\\\", one of the Blues {{Palette Swap}}s (best seen from 14:43 to 14:48) looks more like Royal Riff than original Blues does (we don\\\'t get a good look at this PaletteSwap\\\'s eye color, but the other two Blues {{Palette Swap}}s in that episode have the same eye color as original Blues, so this one most likely does too). This one\\\'s actually purple, like Royal Riff\\\'s art--the toy\\\'s more blue than purple, and I know I said the toys are usually more show-accurate, but in the case of these translucent glitter toys the art probably is more reliable (since lighting can affect how the toy looks).

EDIT 3: And now \\\"The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000\\\" has introduced what appears to be the real Royal Riff (though his coat\\\'s a lot lighter).

I have (severe) misgivings about the Hamlet example. While it alludes to the difficulty of holding offices in general, I doubt the speech was referring to a \\\'\\\'democratically elected\\\'\\\' office, and the speech seems to refer more to the abuses a leader goes through rather than a systems flaws. Thoughts?

For the moment, I have kept it, but I have left it off the works page of Hamlet.

EDIT: Really, the Cutie Mark comparison could go either way, but it\\\'s the eye color that seals the deal.

And while Noteworthy\\\'s Cutie Mark is notes, they aren\\\'t the same kind of notes as Blues\\\', plus there are three of them--Royal Riff\\\'s Cutie Mark is clefs instead of notes, but it\\\'s two music symbols, like Blues\\\' Cutie Mark.
