the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

You won鈥檛 understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are鈥攏ot smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving鈥攁nd then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad鈥攐r good鈥攊t might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.

a hill i will die on is that a little life by hanya yanagihara is not meaningless and is not torture porn and is in fact a very stark and realistic exploration of unprocessed trauma and the inability to talk and how trauma shapes the way you view those who love you and the fact that tiktok has turned it into the "you will cry at the end!!!!" book honestly breaks my heart

Still mad that the FIA is forcing a minute of silence for a dead monarch but decided that members of the grid weren't allowed to kneel or wear statements for social justice issues. Yeah, Domenicali, you sure are being non-performative with your actions right now. It's super clear where your priorities are.

i'm here to be evil. to be very mischevious. so i'm going to point out that will canonically struggles with sleep, yet he sleeps peacefully in hannibal's company despite knowing hannibal's true identity.
will sleepwalks. he has terrible nightmares. and yet... he feels so comfortable and safe around hannibal that he sleeps beside him. sleep is the most vulnerable a person can be.
what's more interesting is that will leaves his wife in bed alone in the middle of the night to read hannibal's letter... we never see him sleeping beside her
is true love being able to sleep peacefully beside a monster? without fear?

probably like a hopeless romantic bookworm talking to the universe?? idk
what鈥檚 the vibe of your blog. everyone has their own. is it an art gallery exhibit serving canap茅s. a nightclub. a knights of the round table situation. a book discussion meeting. a lonely hearts club newspaper section. a bedroom where you and two friends are chatting. the school of athens debating matters of consequence. a garden tea party. a bacchanal. an agatha christie murder novel style tense dinner party. etc
