#ALSO SOMEBODY PLS CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG ABOUT THE ISAAC ONE I DID LOOK IT UP AND RESEARCH IT BUT IF IM WRONG IM SORRY PLS LMK!!!!!!

[skateisawesome]

one thing everybody should know about me is that english is my favourite subject and solitaire is my favourite book so hold onto your popcorn while i introduce you to a concept that i love.

doublethink is the idea that two opposing concepts can be true at the same time. its from the book 1984 by george orwell. **

solitaire (and most of alice osemans books tbh) have this concept all over them. tori is depressed. she can also feel joy. michael is angry. but he is also grateful. tara can be confident in her sexuality. she can also not want to tell anyone. isaac can feel attraction towards james. this does not erase him being aroace. jane can be both a good and bad parent.

this idea of confliction is so beautiful to me and i think part of the reason that alice osemans books have absolutely captured me.

**thank you to derellenbogen who actually let me know that this is not what doublethink means. so this is actually not quite true and a better word would be juxtaposition!!
