I went to a library. The person at the front desk was unusually tall and thin like the guy from Little Nightmares 2. I asked them where I can find the books on anatomy. They stopped typing on a type-writer, lowered their glasses to look me over and then said, “God gave you two eyeballs. You can’t see your own, but you sure can see everybody else’s.”

i find it so interesting that some people are saying that they didn’t care about jean at all before starting tsc. because i’ve been obsessed with that stupid bastard since the moment i met him and i cannot fathom other people not feeling the same way

#like he has always been my favorite to an embarrassing extent #when i made my friends read the books they told me that they literally forgot he was a character #and only remembered him bc i would not shut up about him #throwback to highschool when i played lacrosse bc it was the closest thing to exy #and made my number 29 for jean #and like at that point we only knew his number bc nora tweeted it once #in every march madness/fantasy footfall bracket i make i have USC win. bc jean. #jean moreau #tsc #the sunshine court #aftg #all for the game

Okay answer me this because I am genuinely confused

Everyone in the world seems convinced that Jo is in love with Laurie in Little Women

But when I read Little Women, it seemed pretty clear to me that she wasn't, what with her constantly thinking of Laurie as her best friend and then later her brother and then thinking to herself all the time, "I really hope Laurie isn't in love with me because I'm not in love with him and I would never be able to return his feelings because I don't see him that way and I don't want to hurt him"

When he proposes to her she's in a lot of pain because she knows where this is going and what she'll have to say to him, but people say, "Wow so romantic she rejects him even though she's still in love with him!!!"

When was she ever in love with him?!? Where tf did that come from in your brains??? I do not understand it

Not to mention that Jo is based on Louisa May herself and Laurie is based on someone who she viewed as her nephew/son in real life

And when Jo meets Mr. Bhaer she falls in love with him quite quickly and recognizes that feeling as being in love

Why are people so insistent that Jo loves Laurie when every piece of evidence I've been able to find goes against it? For real I'm genuinely confused and would love an answer beyond "Well it's obvious!"

#is this a dracula situation? #academia said that and people just believed it even though it's nowhere in the book? #or do people just want jo and laurie to get together so badly that they read that into the story and convinced themselves it was real? #little women #louisa may alcott #jo and laurie #jo march #josephine march #laurie laurence #theodore laurence #theodore laurie laurence
