my tbr for the month and the cutest (also most distracting) study buddy you could ask for
I’m being optimistic with this book stack but I want to read everything this month so fingers crossed I actually read something from it

I'd rather write about this world than live in it and I'd rather play music all day and read and wander around the bookstores and watch humans but not be one of them.

The semester is starting to get real serious, I need to get back to organising my tasks on Notion!
But the real question is, why is my handwriting the worst when I write in my native language?

Nothing like reading in your own garden in early spring 🌻. Under a surprisingly blazing sun, I went on with my reading of Melville's Benito Cereno. My edition has quite the impressive amount of supplementary material, including the diaristic narration that inspired the work. I've been reading this for an Anglo-American Literature course, and it fits the In Translation entry of the Tackle Your Classics reading challenge.

This post discusses the value of the application of moral values to stories not typically considered literature. Lit students and writers, enjoy (I can promise you it doesn’t go into much depth but hopefully it’s a little interesting).
Please only respond if you have read Timothy Zahn’s Thrawn. Do not respond based on the Ahsoka series or Filoni’s depiction of the character I don’t think Filoni understands this character either.
Just rbd somebody who thought the entire fandom was obsessed with good vs evil and applying certain moral values. Been thinking about this and can’t figure out what’s wrong with that in the slightest. Anyway, I need to know what we all think cause I’m curious now.
Some thoughts on the value of the application of moral values to stories below (read at your own risk oh my god sorry). Disclaimer: I am a literature student.
My experience of this fandom is positive overall. We like Thrawn but understand his moral ambiguity (unless… you don’t. In which case, what books have you been reading and do you understand what moral ambiguity is? It doesn’t mean he’s a ‘bad’ character. If anything it’s a good thing because it makes him more interesting. Compare morally ambiguous Zahn’s Thrawn to the much less ambiguous and more evil Filoni’s Thrawn. Which is a better character? See, we’re analysing morality here.)
Genuinely, if you picked one of the 100% options and have a good reason let me know why because that’s so interesting to me. You must have a very black and white world view.
For anyone who picked the last option, you’ve just undermined one of the major reasons we study literature and the value and intrigue of stories to society (and my uni degree lol). Interesting choice. You must have had some bad experiences in this fandom.
(Also DNI in that case. I’m not interested in a debate on whether critical analysis of morality is interesting you can read my final essay. Also BORING. CRINGE. Idk just DNI or do so I can block you I guess because interacting with someone when they said DNI is an interesting moral choice as well since we’re on the topic.)
As I said before, you can still enjoy a character and acknowledge (and appreciate) their moral flaws. ‘Good character’ and ‘good morals’ are not synonymous. Why does people talking about morality annoy you so much? I’m sure they appreciate the character more than you for it. (Unless they’re being 100% about it in which case fair enough that’s annoying BUT bear in mind it’s unrealistic to expect people to address the moral ambiguity of an entire story in a post about one specific aspect. Some people will tho they are cool.)

You can’t just go into a bookstore (or library) with me and then demand that I’d be done in five minutes. That’s not how this works, buddy.

Hi little friends in my phone!! <3
I've got some ✨updates✨:
As some of you may have noticed (or not lol) I've changed my course of study. I'll be studying Literature and Performing Arts and I'm so excited!! I just realised graphic design wasn't what I wanted to do, speaking long-term.
I'm so happy about my decision and I can't wait to start, which leads us to the next update: I'm starting my lessons tomorrow!!
Looking forward to sharing my journey with you all and with whoever will join me in this new and exciting academic adventure!
Love, Asia 💌

I spent too much time trying to write in legible handwriting. My exam is tomorrow though so here’s the only legible page.
Too much to study I almost forgot it’s my birthday!
