my soul knows otherwise

anything u think about YOUR life after 10pm is bs to be ignored. anything u think about a character’s life after 10pm should be posted about online and expanded on for paragraphs. :)

I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.

imo you get the most out of engaging with media when you strike a balance between treating characters as people (reading interiority into their actions, considering the effect of various aspects of their identity, etc etc) and as vehicles for storytelling (what narrative purpose do they serve, how do their actions and personality function to convey the themes of the work, etc etc). because of course characters are literary devices but also there’s a reason we use literary devices written to embody realistic people in order to tell stories

Reblog this and tell me what was your biggest crying over a piece of fiction. You can be vague if you don't want to spoil.

I love tumblr because somehow I can end up being mutuals with a celebrity (someone that wrote a fic that I loved)

fuckkkk my sacrificial lamb has started hanging out with the scapegoat
