Im glad you liked my post but I've been trapped in a hill tomb for thousands of years
idk why les miserables didn't prepare me for the sheer amount of architecture in notre dame. just when things get a bit tense and really start happening victor hugo pops up from behind a paragraph like an unskippable youtube ad, grasps you firmly by the shoulders and starts trying to make sure you in turn have a very firm grasp on the skyline and general ambiance of of 15th century Paris. He's not letting you know what happens to any of the characters until he's done explaining his opinions on post-medieval architecture. every time you think the story will pick up again he comes at you with another fact about a tower that has since been demolished.
this is just because I've been reading Victor Hugo again and also about him and his contemporaries but absolutely. absolutely if ghosts were real Maurice Joly would be haunting around still. he sued so many newspapers and people still overwhelmingly do not know who he is. and look what they did to his anti-authoritarian writing. Imagine going to prison for that and then someone uses your fun little Napoleon critique to create an infamous text for justifying genocide. and Umberto Eco calls you derivative.
#if mr. joly has not been seen ghosting it up we must conclude there are no ghosts#there are posts in the tumblr tag but like. the average person knows who victor hugo is but is less likely to know about joly#he's not completely unknown or anything but that man wanted to be famous famous and likely killed himself about it
been rereading a lot of borges and unfortunately i have been on tumblr enough for the phrase 'you're obsessed with the rotting bloated corpse. it's like your jungkook' to have settled down in my mind very comfortably. So. these two things have combined into inability not to think 'it's like your zahir' whenever i get a little focused. let's continue in this vein.... uhm girl you're like an aleph to me.... a shining point of almost unbearable brilliance in which the whole of reality is bounded. <3
ok tumblr break for no reason other than i think i'm bored by this as a distraction but I'm a creature of habit when it comes to the online and like opening the same app every time. I'm supposed to enjoy the distraction so I'll be back when it feels less boring? which could be shortly or not.
in the meantime my discord is @ mirieltherinde. I don't log in that often at the moment but I do sometimes. :)

can't sleep so here's a doodle demonstrating what cooking is like literally every single day due to my bird's Interest, which does not involve wanting to eat the food. she's just there to observe me with the intensity of a 19th century anthropologist convicted he's observing a significant ritual
1:32 still awake bird doodle 2: tiny tenderness. :)
it's been 2 years and it's still exactly like this <3

RPG-style video game where if you keep any item in your inventory for too long it spontaneously moves over to the "Key Items" tab and can never be used, sold or discarded again because the player character has attachment issues.
