you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for a nuanced reason

Genuinely 90% of historical fiction would be so much better if more writers could get more comfortable with the fact that to create a good story set in a different time period you do actually have to give the characters beliefs & values which reflect that time period

#even if they share your values they would phrase things differently. ‘​I hate to see a man hanged for it’ vs ‘love is love’ (via @aurpiment)

THIS. II Love to read historical novels when MC's are somehow a bit more progressive and tolerant than their peers, but still believable in terms of the time the story is told. It looks very weird when a MC who lives in 1800s thinks in ethical terms of 2020's

religion is so fucking funny the world is just too beautiful there must be a higher entity behind all this. lets oppress women

my best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in ur life and it can become a vice if you play your cards right

you know what i meant
