I recently read somewhere here (won't name them) that after the Guanyin Temple confession, Lan Wangji's actions were selfish. That he should have stayed there to comfort his brother who has just lost (and killed) the love of his life instead of f-ing of to screw the love of his life. The person has referenced chapter 110 (111 on some websites) where Lan Wangji says that even comfort from his brother by birth will be in vain.
I hope you will analyse that part. Because I think it is a translation issue. It doesn't sound like something Lan Wangji would say. I would have accepted that person's analysis if their post wasn't so blatantly anti-wangxian?
Well anon, the thing is that the person posting it does have the correct line. It’s not a translation issue.
The issue is their whole interpretation of the situation. Lan Xichen was not in love with Jin Guangyao, he did not kill the love of his life and this person is doing the same rude shit as a lot of people who don’t like Wangxian choosing each other over nebulous ideas of duty.
They are taking a narration line and putting it in Lan Wangji’s mouth from the sound of it, lemme grab it for you. It is from Chapter 111, right after Wei Wuxian reveals that the Guanyin in the temple looks like Jin Guangyao’s mother.
“[Wei Wuxian] turned and glanced back, letting out a rare sigh, “I don’t want to care about any of those nasty things anymore. This is it.”
Lan WangJi nodded and tightened Lil’ Apple’s reins. He continued to walk with it.
Each could only deal with their own troubles. Even if Lan XiChen was his brother by birth, Lan WangJi couldn’t do anything to help him right now. Comfort was useless. It’d all be in vain.”
Bolded line highlighted for necessary emphasis.
It’s just narration there, it’s being treated as a fact - and it is. The things that Lan Xichen needs right now are not things that Lan Wangji can provide him. Lan Xichen needs time and space to grapple with everything that he saw and his own role in all the events that came to pass. What could Lan Wangji do? Lan Xichen is confronting his own guilt both in what he participated in and what he looked aside from, things that brought irreparable harm to a lot of people including his brother and the love of his brother’s life.
How would Lan Wangji staying help anything there? Lan Xichen has just watched them cuddle through a siege, flirt and laugh and tell each other how much they loved each other. It is the one unquestioningly good thing to come out of that night, something that he wanted, for his brother to be happy. That’s the whole crux of his rant at Wei Wuxian, he wants his brother to be happy and he thinks that Wei Wuxian is knowingly toying with his feelings.
Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian are already planning to elope even before anyone else gets there. They sneak off really quickly and easily. Lan Xichen is not looking for them, he’s busy telling Lan Qiren to shut up and let him think.
Lan Xichen is already filled with guilt and confusion over what’s happened, but also think about how much worse it would feel if he knew his brother set aside his own marriage and honeymoon to come sit with him, sacrificing his own happiness to Lan Xichen again, this time much more knowingly. That wouldn’t make him feel better. That wouldn’t make anyone who has a shred of empathy feel better. It is more likely a comfort to Lan Xichen to know that something good did come out of that terrible night.
They return three months later, when they are settled and choose to come back and then Lan Xichen is ready for that comfort. He wouldn’t have wanted it then. It was too soon and the cost of it would have been too high.
These brothers care about each other and know each other well and they are in their thirties. They are not helpless children any longer. Lan Xichen is not alone and suffering, he returns to his clan with hundreds of people living in it to pick up the ashes at his feet. He has solace in knowing that at least one person is happy and better off despite his actions in the matter. Let him have that.
I hate that stupid trend you reference in your post. I hate the idea that Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have to continue sacrificing their lives and everything else to take care of the people around them first.
They have been parted by circumstance, homophobia, war, the aftermath of war and fucking death for twenty years. They have in fact actually gone through worse than most of the rest of the cast and somehow finally found their way back to each other and a happy ending. What more do people want before they are allowed to be selfish for once in their lives?
#mdzs#wangxian#wei wuxian#lan wangji#lan xichen#asks#anon#anon asks#like dude what a terrible take to take#just let them have their happily ever after for once#and let everyone else deal with the consequences#also get the XiYao stuff off of the ending#please cite to me where mxtx ever says anything like that in book or interview#it’s literally just being used as a cudgel against wangxian for daring to have their own lives#something that LXC WOULD WANT for his brother#or did you miss the meaning of the entire rant in the temple?

A former slave came, to accuse a certain noble of the Zhak. The noble had taken her maidenhood, used her for his pleasure, and gotten her with child. Her new husband wanted the noble gelded for the crime of rape, and he wanted a purse of gold as well, to pay him for raising the noble’s bastard as his own. Dany granted him the gold, but not the gelding. “When he lay with her, your wife was his property, to do with as he would. By law, there was no rape.” Her decision did not please him, she could see, but if she gelded every man who ever forced a bedslave, she would soon rule a city of eunuchs. — ADWD, Daenerys I
A feminist icon, right ?
Daenerys never treats slavery as an evil in and of itself, as an affront to human dignity. It’s a legal technicality. It’s why she acted the way she did in the Lhazareen village, it’s why she doesn’t understand how she needs to treat her “handmaidens” differently if she wants them to understand they are no slaves, it’s why she can almost pettily declare Meereenese can sell themselves back into slavery if they want so long as she gets a profit. She doesn’t understand the fundamentals of why it is bad. The same way she doesn’t understand the concept of rape. That’s why her quest is so empty and doomed to fail. She doesn’t understand it and she doesn’t care to try.
I'm not even gonna bother putting energy into answering this cause it's obvious to me that you and reading comprehension have a strained relationship. You're just not smart and there's nothing I can do to change that. All I'll say is that you could only come up with interpretations like this by removing all context from Dany's arc and cherry-picking quotes. Luckily, the rest of us aren't reading the books with our eyes closed.
#anon#ask#fandom nonsense#what getting your info from a bullet point list on reddit does to a mf#I don't get the point in sending asks like this unless you're just assuming I haven't read the books either?#and am not aware of Dany's thoughts or feelings on the subject? or the context attached to the quotes you try and pull out of context? 😭#mind-boggling...either way I'm not spending my time writing a long reply cause it's obvious you don't read#be easy...or not I don't really care#laughing cause I know anon thought they did something with this#/Dany doesn't understand slavery or rape/ and she's a formal bridal slave#also I would call slavery a lot worse than just an affront to human dignity so maybe you're the one who doesn't understand??

nico is actually confirmed catholic in ton
“And, through it all, he’d struggled with his upbringing as a conservative Catholic Italian male from the 1930s and finally learned to accept himself as a young gay man.” (chp 10)
I will take your word on this because I do not feel like checking my copy of ToN and also I have no reason to disbelieve you. Also, i'll be completely honest i do my best every day to try to forget literally everything that happened in Tower of Nero because of how awful all of it was.
ironically immediately after I got this ask, I got another anon talking more about how the troglodytes (introduced in ToN) are racist. And I think that's beautiful.
#ask#Anonymous#other anon I will get to you in a bit feel free to poke me if i forget#but know that i saw your ask and seeing it come in IMMEDIATELY after this ask was extremely funny to me#but yeah i'll be real by ToN i just kind of stopped accepting anything it said as canon. like. objectively its canon. but yknow.#and Rick gets so messy and inconsistent with Nico's backstory by HoO.#i dont like that we get exposition about Nico's life from a random third party he's barely interacted with before#especially since it's inconsistent information with what we've been told about Nico leading up to this point#cause we have no reason to believe Maria raised Nico conservatively#in fact we have every reason to believe otherwise because again he's specifically from Venice#and Venice during the war actually had a decent amount of anti-fascist stuff going on#not to mention just what we've seen of Maria she's like. cussing out Zeus basically. as far as we know she will not tolerate injustice#which tracks with her having had TWO kids with the god of the underworld#okay actually i did end up looking this up cause i hadn't remembered Rick ever explicitly using “gay” in the books to describe Nico but yea#anyways. ToN is out the window for me alongside the new book. mostly for the trogs but also things have just stopped making sense

ahh but what were your thoughts on fourth wing the people want to know!!
(is it okay if i go by an emoji? i have sent you an embarrassing amount of asks lmao like the dragons and the gibbon and abbreviated title for sloane 😌😽 ily)
u can absolutely pick any emoji u like if u would like me to know it’s u! i’m more than okay with that 😚
also fourth wing thoughts……
i saw someone else on here put it perfectly which is like; it’s not a good book but i had a good time reading it.
like yes, i did devour it in about 2 days but also it was insanely predictable. about 5 pages in i called out the reveal at the end lmao. the dragons were fun, but also…. predictable (omg she gets the biggest one even tho she’s so tiny! omg not one but TWO???) (tho i did get very hyped up for them)
it did lots of other things well- the romance wasn’t so cookie cutter (minus dain, i feel i’ve read that storyline a dozen times lol) & violet’s fragility/brokenness of her body was done really well that she didn’t just Suddenly Overcome it which i appreciate a lot. it had a lot of casual language that i wasn’t such a fan of (i love prose! beautiful prose!) but like i said, i was decently entertained !
basically no one’s coming for azriel’s spot anytime soon >:)
#i think that’s what i liked about acotar#predictable in some senses#but#it took me by surprise genuinely#and the whole second book completely recontextualising the first? like WHEW#it’s also why i have struggled to read any more of sjm’s stuff#cos none of it hits like acotar did. simply the hook of tamlin’s story to get you all the way thru book one#to spit you back out in book two? unbeatable#sloane speaks#asks#anon#mwah#if u loved it don’t look#sorry 😔

The thing about the last “Camelot” revival is that they made so many changes, it begs the question why they just didn’t write a whole new show from scratch. You have to remember “Camelot” isn’t just based off Arthurian more it’s an adaptation of T.H. White’s “The Once & Future King” a doorstop per of a novel (it’s actually 4 different books published as one volume” that is billed as “the world’s greatest fantasy classic”. And it’s only 1 of 2 adaptations - the other being Disney’s “The Sword in the Stone”. So I can totally understand why critics and fans didn’t enjoy it at all.
I'll be honest I don't really think the changes are THAT major, like structurally it's hitting a lot of similar beats especially since they had to keep the same song story beats. Especially when you consider the show before Sorkin and Sher ever got involved at all was a constantly evolving beast (to me there's a world of difference between the movie Camelot and the 2008 Lincoln Center production that leaned more into the goofy camp aspects. Hello Morgan Le Fay who loves chocolate lol!) I've seen people argue that maybe they should have never tried to change the show with a new creative team, and while I've certainly turned the argument over in my head, I think I ultimately land on, Lerner and Lowe kept reworking it in their life time, I actually think it's kind of in the spirit of the show to keep working on it. It's actually one of my favourite things about this show, that no two versions are alike! Even when a change isn't my cup of tea I really like seeing where they take this material. I think that's what makes theater special, that you can have stuff like this where the work is never done. (Like Hadestown or Chess!) I don't think there is a "definitive version of Camelot the musical".
But with that being said, different versions means it'll cater to different tastes, I do understand that the new script has a distinctly modern, sarcastic, veryyy quippy, voice to it that is not like the original writer's style (and yeah you feel it when the original work IS included) (honestly I don't even like when they throw in jokes in the vein of "stop singing that stupid song" like it's a golden age musical. Plz.) Not to mention I think the new script mines slightly different themes out of the show and if someone doesn't like it I can't say I blame them 🤷🏻♀️ look I'm a Hadestown NYTW version truther so I can understand the plz don't touch my baby mindset haha
#I think what I mean when I make jokes about “why the hate?!” on my blog#it's more like I don't understand when the reaction is SO STRONG??? if that makes sense#like I had someone tell me “ew why would you waste your money” and I was like damn??? It's flawed#but even when I'm being at my most critical I don't think it's sway people away from it bad??#honestly that goes for the movie too I DON'T THINK THAT ONE'S AS BAD AS PEOPLE SAY EITHER#okay sorry not the point I'm getting off topic did this ramble make any sense??#🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️#ask#anon#sorry I didn't even touch the OAFK of that ask#uhhh to that I say the musical in all versions has always kind of just been influenced by the book but I mean........#it's about as much like the book as Aaron Sorkins script is to the other versions of the musical so 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ take that as you will#OKAY NOW I'M GETTING INTO THE CAN OF WORMS OF ADAPTING STORIES SORRY#This is an interestingggg subjectttt to disscuss THE LAYERS!#🤔🤔🤔

I'm finally reading (well listening to) ADHD for Smart Ass Women and it's not bad but I feel like she's rambling so much about what it's like to be a woman with ADHD. Like ma'am I already know what it's like that's why I'm here. You marketed this book form people with difficulty maintaining attention PLEASE get to the advice part already I beg.
heya!! yeahh, part one is a lot heavier on the experiential aspects and What The Thing Is, so i can see how that's Recap (derogatory) if you're sure you've got the thing (although personally i did appreciate the rambling as something i could give to my elderly parents re: "yo this is also what ADHD looks like btw, please reevaluate My Entire Life in this context").
the practical stuff really starts in chapter 5 (for Big Picture Life Orientation), and then part two gets into specific problems/solutions (and the chapter titles say exactly what's inside lol). i felt very Seen in her rambling, but i 100% wouldn't blame you if you wanted to skip ahead to the Solutions Part and see if any of that clicks for you! i hope you get something useful/helpful out of it.
#text#answered#anon#anonymous#thanks for the note!! i get very little mail haha#adhd for smart ass women#tracy otsuka#also tbf i intentionally Did Not Buy This Book because i suspected it would be only semi-useful/interesting 🫣#like i was Interested in what she had to say but just. that genre of book is not one i ever read. in part because of that fluffy ramblyness.#im sorry its not vibing with you 😅#i got a lot more out of the relatability aspect than the practical advice aspect but i hope part 2 is kinder to you!!#i found a lot of what she said in the first few chapters validating (but ive also Not Been Listened To Or Taken Seriously About This)#(i did take notes on the whole book which is how i could point to chapters/parts relevancy lol)#asks#book talk

I haven’t read the books in forever so canon escapes me but. The only reason I care about r’s plot with his kid and wife Is that it shows his personality, he’s a coward, bad at communication etc. etc. like Yeah he is (affectionately) so he would do that. That’s its only purpose, otherwise I’m like well Doesn’t Exist because the love of his life is actually over there (pointing at S, of course)
anyway the point of this is whenever you say R doesn’t care about that kid (his or hjp) I’m like, you’re so right, ridi, so true…
no exactly! and i think that’s pretty fun. he is for sure a coward + bad at communicating and those are character flaws that i think he would be quite boring without…just as i think the version of s that people (often people who get sooo angry at r and every terrible thing he’s done) like to present where he is stripped of all flaws and responsibility and wrongdoing is also! extremely boring! but like. all the stuff around the kid (either kid) that people like to bang on about is just. im never going to care about that kid im sorry so in turn i do not care about any perceived wrongdoing by anyone against that kid i just don’t. like im just not interested. he doesn’t care and neither do i. hence why i am not an apologist for him…why would i apologise when i don’t believe what he did was wrong ♥️
#same as i don’t care about s’ brother other than as character background for s (and as my wife’s peanut)#ive seen posts about how s did nothing wrong in the prank? and im meant to care about that fuckass kid? bffr 😭#r#r/s#also while im here you know what else i never got. getting so worked up about people making r a reader bc oh he only reads one book and he’#not meant to be smart…like i get being annoyed by the whole dynamic of making r the smart straight man to s’ idiotic drama queen but.#reading is a perfectly normal hobby for a guy who is fairly quiet + intelligent (even if not academically talented) + has to spend a lot of#time resting…like it makes sense girl it’s not that serious..relax!#telegram#anon

»A little life« by Hanya Yanagihara
#like you don’t understand how much this book will break you until you read it yourself#I’ve never before slammed a book against my head while tears were streaming down my face#and I think I’ll never experience that with a book ever again#this is truly an… experience#about 10 months later and this book is still always in my head#always contemplating on starting to read it again - a book with almost a 1000 pages!#but if you think I’m recommending it to you this way: no#read the trigger warnings before starting it and be sure that those topics will be harshly mentioned especially sa#sh & physical abuse#way too long rant#but I’ve just thought about what my roman empire would be through a tiktok & now I see this ask#asks#thank you anon#I’m just sad that this book has put a standard on how I should obsess over a book afterwards and nothing got to catch up in any way#like yes I’ve read great books but did I look for fan art - went to a copy shop to get perfectly neat prints of scenes from the book that a#STRANGER HAD TO HAND ME WHILE LOOKING VERY ASHAMED AND CONFUSED WHY A YOUNG WOMAN WOULD HAVE GAY FAN ART IN HER HANDS - and then proceed to#tape them on every matching page where this exact scene was mentioned#and have like 200 book tabs in it#if anyone has book recs that made them this crazy ; please let me know

... please share some bernardino lonati info crumbs with us? Please 🥺 ascanio too if you want to
(PS. your art is so beautiful aaa💗)
YES (also thank you! 💗) oh my god okay so
They were!!! friends!!
Bernardino Lonati was from Pavia, and Ascanio spent a lot of time in Pavia in the earlier parts of his life and was also the apostolic administrator of Pavia, so it's very likely they knew each other as teenagers (Ascanio refers to Bernardino as his "cardinal from home")
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
and they were only a couple of years apart in age (Lonati was born in 1452, Ascanio was 1455)
Lonati was one of the cardinals that Ascanio had "made," (Sanseverino is another). Before that, though, he was Ascanio's secretary!
Popes, Cardinals and War, D.S. Chambers
in 1497, Ascanio fell seriously ill, like a lot of Rome thought he had died despite being alive because of how bad his condition was. Lonati was someone Ludovico Sforza got in contact with to try to navigate the situation, and Lonati and Sanseverino were part of a group that banded together to prevent Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI) from seizing Ascanio's assets in the event of his death.
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
Every time Ascanio would go against the Vatican for one reason or another/in conflict with the pope (the reason is that Ascanio's loyalty went to Milan first and always), Lonati was one of the cardinals that always sided with him :)
So when Lonati fell ill and it was clear things weren't going to get better
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
Ascanio rushed to be with him in his final hours and was so grief stricken over it that he had to be physically pulled away from Lonati's bedside because they were concerned that Ascanio would become ill as well (this was later in 1497). After Lonati died, Ascanio took care of the finances: Lonati wanted to pass the beneficiaries on to family members, but could not do this without Ascanio signing off on it since Ascanio was the apostolic administrator of Pavia.
Asanio did him one better: He wrote to his brother, knowing that he could ensure Lonati's last wishes, and had the income from S. Savino and a third of the income from S. Antonio go to the son, and the minor benefits go to the nephew, and the remaining 2/3rds of the income Ascanio had donated to charitable works in honor of Lonati's soul.
and he was in charge of the funeral arrangements and monument :')
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
Lonati was buried in Santa Maria del Popolo, a church associated with Ascanio, and later Giuliano della Rovere (Pope Julius II) would have a tomb commissioned for Ascanio there too, which I feel so so so normal about.
Also, Lonati was considered a "poor cardinal" while he was alive, Ascanio was the driving force behind getting Lonati additional incomes.
Ascanio Maria Sforza: la parabola politica di un cardinale-principe del Rinascimento, Marco Pellegrini
and for some Ascanio trivia: he was gambled (literally) with Rodrigo Borgia on occasion, and was apparently an amateur musician on top of the Everything Else He Did 🎵
A Companion to Late Medieval and Early Modern Milan, edited by Andrea Gamberini
#i feel normal™ about whatever was going on with ascanio and lonati#other things ascanio enjoyed doing: horseback riding apparently. also hunting#ascanio juggling lucrezia's marriage arrangements and cesare's french affair and rodrigo trying to kick him out of vatican politics like#'cardinal sforza went to cardinal colonna's estates to relax his mind by hunting' BRO YOU'RE 43 TAKE A NAP OR SOMETHING#like. do you sleep. DO YOU SLEEP. YOU'VE EARNED A BREAK. << me saying this because chapter 13 of the ascanio biography is killing me#Events Do Not Stop Happening And I Am Just An Artist Who Is Trying So Hard To Keep Up With this#anyway i was up at 5am for reasons and was going to go back to bed for a bit but then i saw this ask and was immediately AWAKE#thank u anon this was more effective than any alarm clock followed by coffee#bernardino lonati#ask tag#rec tag#i wish i could provide you with primary (letter) sources but alas. i Do Not Live In Milan otherwise i'd live in the archives forever#i have. pictures of both ascanio and lonati's tombs? the monument/sculpture part. i think#im confident in ascanio's and less so about lonati since. again. never been to italy. would love to go someday!#and im relying on this one person's photography to not be lying to me with lonati hshdfhghg#(im confident about ascanio tho bc we got museums to confirm and also art history books. della rovere did interesting things with him)#long post#thanks for the ask anon!!! i love Every Opportunity I Get To Talk About The House Sforza (what i call ascanio and his friends lmao)#renaissance papacy tag

Honestly, I'm tired that any flashback Robin story is either about Dick or Tim. These guys already had such long runs, like let's explore Jason's or Steph's time a bit more? Or maybe, you know, let Damian, the guy who is supposed to be Robin, have Robin stories?
.
#dc confessions#asks#anon#u: comics#u all are just haters dick and tim were the BEST robins (steph solos overall though)#jason is uninteresting (NOTHING important happened while he was robin except him dying. he was cute but thats it)#steph was robin for all of five minutes and she solod#the only think u can get from these two is cute memories/bruce being a dick to steph as usual/characters being pissed/loving each other#dc needs to know what theyre doing with damian first to give him robin stories like williamson should STOP writing my boy#but damian HAS had consistent robin stories since he appeared so idk what u mean. hes even had team books#everything to do with interacting w characters and making history happened with dick or tim#dick was the first so it does make sense#and Tim was Robin for so long and did so much (important or not) shit that it's only natural#kid got AROUND. made many enemies and even more allies#sorry im v passionate about this anon i disagree w you#u dont HAVE to like those two but they ARE important as ROBIN. steph was/is an amazing batgirl and she had spoiler#she was arguably more influential as those two than robin#sorry ill stop now#r: robins

I like how you headcanon Day as more proactive (like a nice parallel to Vice Versa and PuenTalay where Puen was more proactive). Let baby gay be horny for his poor hot mechanic boyfriend. Btw we know very small amount of information but how do you WANT it to be: do you want Day to be gay? Or bi? And what about Mork? Do you want them/one of them to have dating experience? What should be their view of love be?
im SO HAPPY you like the idea of day being the more proactive one because i think that's really one of the thing i want the most out of this show!!!! i also think it fits what little we saw of them in the mock trailer: mork is flirty, but he's also older and works as day's caretaker, so he's painfully aware of - as he calls them - "the boundaries of his responsibility", which is probably what is going to stop him from pursuing an actual relationship with day. day, on the other hand, doesn't have these qualms, and at the end of the trailer he is the one to go in for a kiss, so i LOVE the idea of day going after what he wants once he realizes his feelings for mork
as for your questions, right now im mostly headcanoning mork as bi and day as gay, similarly to puentalay, though i wouldn’t really be able to explain why ;;;;; i also think mork has definitely dated before, while im not so sure about day: he’s an athlete, so he must have been really popular in school, but it also means that all his energies were probably devoted to training and that he didn’t have time to hang out with friends, much less to actually date
and maybe it’s because of this difference in their experiences, but i would love to see mork being kinda disillusioned when it comes to love and day being the more.. idealistically romantic one. mork is in debt and can’t see a future for himself, and maybe in the past he had some relationships that didn’t end well, so i could easily imagine him thinking that love isn’t really for him because he doesn’t believe he gets to have a happy ending, while day seems to like stories, and love in stories is always passionate and sensational and bigger than yourself, so that’s what he expects for himself too. it would be nice if by being together they could learn that happiness and love are in the small gestures they choose to give and receive from each other every day
#honestly just give me mork and day arguing about their personal view of love over books#day makes mork read him ‘romeo and juliet’ which sparks a week long debate between them#mork thinks they were fools who should have just forgotten about their feelings because it was never going to end well#day thinks that no matter how it ended or however brief it was the most important thing is that they did get to love each other#OH YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I WOULD LOVE#a kiss spurred by a book they're reading like paolo and francesca in dante's inferno#'when as we read of the much-longed-for smile/being by such a noble lover kissed/this one who ne’er from me shall be divided/#kissed me upon the mouth all palpitating'#anyway#the fact that im already so rabid about them cannot possibly be good for my health#also sorry for the late reply anon!!!#kinda had a hard time putting my thoughts into words and i still feel like half of what i wrote isn't in english#but thank you so much for giving me the chance to talk about them!!!!!#ilu 💜#last twilight#morkday#m: ask

#answered !#also just curious when was the last time you went outside and touched grass#maybe smelled a flower#pet a dog or like sat in the sunshine#because it seems like you need some therapy#kinda embarrassing to be sending anon hate in 2022#like seriously what do you get out of this ? did this bring you serotonin ?#if you want some serotonin just like bake some cookies bestie idk what to tell you#also jobs leech off people too that's what capitalism is#anyways go eat some fruit or read a book it'll make you feel better

#@ english anon#pls don't ever apologize for ranting!!#am always here to listen!!#i completely understand the feeling of not clicking with or being able to fully understand a work that everyone else seems to love#this happens to me with books a lot especially classics which tend to have a lot of dense prose and complicated vocabulary#like you mentioned!!#and i'm not sure what author you're referring to although i might have a suspicion??#but at the end of the day i believe that reading should always be something that's FUN#and if reading something in particular is making you more frustrated than entertained#then i personally wouldn't force myself to keep reading it#the fact that you gave them a fair shot by reading multiple of their fics further solidifies that maybe#u just don't mesh well with their writing#and i just want to stress that that IS NOT A BAD THING!!!#it happens for everyone – i have a list of authors i consider talented but who i just don't click with in terms of writing#that being said i do also understand the feeling of missing out because you don't what everyone else seems to get :/#and that definitely sucks... but you have the make decision that's best for you at the end of the day!!#and the decision of how you want to spend your (valuable) time esp after giving it a fair shot as you definitely did!!#idk if i'm making sense shjskls i'm rambling now!!#but hopefully you get what i'm trying to say#and feel free to message me if you want to discuss further!#EDIT: just also want to further clarify and say that i kept saying 'writing style' specifically#but you mentioned not understanding the big picture either#and that has also happened to me a lot –– it's completely normal!!!#everyone has different interpretations and ideas about things#and sometimes your interpretations/perspectives match with someone else's and sometimes they don't#i can't count how many times the 'big picture' of a story has gone straight over my head#but i try not to blame myself for it because i know that it's just because people are all different + we have different ideas about things#okay stopping now for real!!
