whenever i see art i now think about how i might have seen it somewhere else before

like love death robots’ jibaro and post malone’s circles: knights with face tattoos, lover in a water body

nekrogoblikon’s no one survives and kodaline’s all i want: monster, office romance, saves girl

i’ve noticed it in writers as well, and in my own attempts at writing

Q. Your work has appeared in over 20 outlets and you have received recognition for your writing…How do you think this type of recognition has impacted on your writing career overall?

Cleo Qian: When you frame it like that, it seems like a lot of recognition. But this belies how much rejection I have faced in proportion. I have a spreadsheet – I have probably been receiving a hundred rejections a year for nearly a decade. I have complicated feelings about the economy of recognition.

i’ve just skimmed—not read—esther yi’s y/n

i was rly into kpop at one point and was writing all these unhinged fanfics abt kpop idols and confessional borderline psychotic unsent letters to idols lmao so the premise of this book intrigued the fuck out of me

i can’t say i love y/n. at times, sometimes, the writing feels like an artistic choice; at other times, it feels like the work of someone who swallowed “the big book of big words” overnight and just spent a week hanging out with cloistered academics and grad students. yi’s writing reminds me of this girl’s blog i used to read: she was pretty, a soci major who was always blogging abt getting good grades at school in stilted language in her posts ie. kind of like this “…everyday capitulations that chipped away at a monument of seriousness that was a soul…” (from y/n)

i respect the ambition yi had for this novel. there are descriptions of love that i’ve probably scribbled somewhere in my most private diary entries. the all-consuming, down on your knees nature of it, directed not even at a person, but the force of their being—a concept of them

i’ve felt that sort of love for idols and artists i respect and real people in my life whom i never get to know. it’s devotional. inquiring but not demanding

i’ll take my time with this book if i can. i need a restart with it. i picked it up thinking it was either a YA novel or chick lit, then wanted to put it down bcos i cldnt stand the writing—wrote it off as pretentious, but it was weird enough that i couldn’t look away, and i just had to see where it was going. turns out it’s actually everything i love and care about: surrealism, philosophical provocations about idol-fan relationships and comparisons of that to religion

the way the narrator loves moon is the way one loves god

^ from an interview with yi

i love that. the idea of writing being almost like the only way of interacting with the objects of her desire

writing is definitely part wish fulfilment. it’s smth i’ve noticed with my classmates and is a trap i’m very careful not to walk into
