I have never done a video before, so I don't know how well this will work -

Lost Symbol - season 1 episode 6, where Robert Langdon has been kidnapped with his mentor, Peter, and they're being forced to solve riddles and clues that supposedly lead to an untapped wealth of knowledge that will make anyone who finds it god-like (short version). This is what happens when Peter refuses to divulge masonic secrets, even to save his own life.

Doesn't hold the same when it's Robert's life on the line.

robert langdon au

known for a brilliant problem-solving mind and his genius, langdon has an eidetic memory. as professor at harvard university, he teaches religious iconology and the fictional field of symbology.

langdon was a diver at phillips exeter academy in prep school and played water polo at princeton university where he went for college. at the age of seven, langdon fell into a well and was trapped there at night. this led to him developing claustrophobia, which is believed to persist in the following years.

he has a cold calculating look. robert is always secretive and silent, but his lectures put into a trance. he amazes with his charm, and his voice sounds like music.

As above, so below.

The Lost Symbol S01E06 ↳ By Request

ashley zukerman in episode 2 of the lost symbol

I searched it up! Peter is 12 years older than Robert

Now that I've finished the book I believe Robert would be way more into his sister Katherine than Peter, to be honest

was originally doing this as a test but it has ended up being one of my favourite drawings I've done like all year 😭 (has anyone watched the show?? Lol)

A major Dan Brown appreciation

Dan Brown.

And, his Robert Langdon series.

I remember reading “Digital Fortress" at the lobby of Hotel Ramada from the common bookshelf, barely completing the book in three days while my stay with my family in Shanghai, China. Read the rest of it via a pdf I found online because it just sticks to you. Brown would go with his recipe of conspiring the heck out of the literary world with his work. It's not the first Langdon series book, but it really caught my attention and I wanted to explore more of the series.

Each a separate plot, an individual storyline of its own. I came home and bought "Origin" read it and then purchased "Da Vinci Code" (the actual best), and so on. Still deficit of "Angels and Demons"- which I'll hopefully buy next, and get a hardcopy of "Digital Fortress" and my collection would be complete. The art mentions are major in his works, mentioning real landmarks, real organisations and controversial truths, in the form of a blockbuster mystery high speed pursuit style of the novels. His fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion really makes you think. Raises a lot of questions you didn't bother thinking about before. His play with words show how literature is conceptualized, created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique. All in all, a 10/10 Author for me.

Some of Ashley Zukerman’s Characters kinda hinting at his future ones... I know it’s a coincidence, but it’s interesting. 

Lt. Robert “Mac” Mackenzie (The Pacific)

Lt. Mac: Dropped some kind of new bomb on the Jap Mainland. Burgie: Don’t that beat all. Lt. Mac: Oh, no. No, no, this one is different - vaporized an entire city in the blink of an eye. Sledge: How? Lt. Mac: I don’t know. Anyway, killed a lot of Japs.

Charles “Charlie” Isaacs (Manhattan)

Charlie: You’re building an atomic bomb.

Ackley: We prefer to call it ‘the gadget.’ I walk most of the new boys though the math and they still don’t see it. 

Robert Langdon (The Lost Symbol)

Sure, there are all those people who think they can change the weather with runes or summon the devil with a pentagram... 

Nicholas “Nick” Goode (Fear Street - 1666)

I am currently reading The lost symbol by Dan Brown as one of my graduation books and I didn't have very high expectations, grad books are often uninteresting and this one in particular is very long and everyone I asked had a different opinion on it.

so. I'm about ¾ through with it and it got SO fun and interesting, it's deadass starting to remind me of my tumblr feed (I like whump prompts so that's probably self explanatory)

and hear me out cause here's what happened so far (spoilers obvi):

the MC's (Robert) best friend (Peter) was kidnapped and Robert is blackmailed into helping the kidnapper

he found out about Peter by FINDING HIS FUCKING HAND, that was straight up chopped off and used as a clue

meanwhile Peter's sister (Katherine) is targeted by the kidnapper as well, he goes to get her and he drowns her assistant in ethanol to get rid of her

then there's this brilliant scene where Katherine is getting away from him

the kidnapper's backstory is literally killing Peter's and Katherine's mom and then getting shot and thrown into a freezing river

and right now the kidnapper took Robert and Katherine, and he straight up has Robert in a coffin that's filling up with water (also Robert's claustrophobic so that makes it better)

and he has Katherine WATCH HIM the entire time

and all of these are described in SUCH DETAIL, my jaw dropped on the floor during the ethanol scene and I haven't managed to pick it up since

and now I legitimately cannot wait for what happens next, I haven't read and enjoyed a book in such a long time, let alone a grad book!! maybe mr dan brown sir will help me get my love for books back
