sparagmos time

— George Eliot, Middlemarch, ch. 80

imagine finding the woman of your dreams who is both exactly your type physically and can engage you in effortless badinage and seems to be really into you. but then when you invite her for a night on the town she asks if there are gonna be dudes there and you’re just like “no.” and THEN she hits on your brother all night, relentlessly, until you just decide to retire early. and nothing even happens between her and your brother because he already has a girlfriend but she nonetheless confuses him so much that after she finally takes the hint and leaves he starts to cry. and meanwhile you are single and into her and want to fuck her so bad it makes you look stupid, and normally you’ve never had a problem getting anyone you want, so the fact that she tried to fuck your brother is even more devastating to you personally than you ever could’ve imagined. well this all happened to my buddy katy letterkenny

i do think that so far, marcille and kabru are the most compelling characters to me narratively speaking, but there is really just something to be said for the fact that chilchuck is probably the funniest character, just like conceptually, that i have ever encountered in my life.

victor hugo was so funny for calling out émile zola for being a bad leftist bc he wasn’t sufficiently didactic in his novels. bc like. there is a broader conversation to be had about the function of art as an ideological/moralizing/instructive tool and what kinds of ideologies actually underpin that belief, but also. zola literally called the function of his novels morality in action, like bro. i think he agrees with u

all the pop girlies these days are trying to emulate taylor swift….. because they know they will never be sara bareilles.

has anyone else heard about this “going to bed early to wake up early enough to make breakfast before leaving the house” thing. it’s crazy that it’s not advertised more. i think i’ve just discovered the newest incredible life hack

the fact that chilchuck and miki kaoru both have big round eyes and precious baby boy haircuts is so fucking funny to me btw. putting chilchuck in the sunlit garden. putting chilchuck at a grand piano. putting chilchuck on the fencing team. he would unionize the student council and they’d go on strike until akio agrees to compensate them for their exploited labor. putting miki in the consumption dungeon. he dies instantly.
