Try "the shite hitteth the fan" or "the shite hath hit the fan", although I'd probably go with "the shite doth hit the fan".

To wit:

'the shit hit the fan' → 'the shite hit the fan'

'the shit hits the fan' → 'the shite hitteth the fan'

'the shit has hit the fan' → 'the shite hath hit the fan'

You could also throw in an archaic alternate spelling of 'hit' ('hitt' or 'hitte') or 'fan' ('fann' or 'fanne'). Or spell 'the' as 'ye', though that's really older than the Shakespeare/King James Bible thing, and it's always pronounced as 'the', with no 'y' sound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter) .

"fan the shite doth hit"
