Don't Freak Out

this too shall pass but the fuck was that for

The votes on this post. Oh. A poem in poll form, interactive art, the fact we can see how the other people reading it felt. im. this is really good.

Being crazy about a piece of media for any amount of time will leave a weird mark on you forever because years later you’ll see someone posting something about it like “can we talk about this frame” and you’ll be like “ah that frame. i know all about that frame. I was once a scholar of that frame.”

hello to all the beautiful exhausted intelligent resentful compassionate irritated women of the internet i love you

The part in Les Mis where in the middle of one of his digressions about the French Revolution Hugo throws Lord Byron in there having mentioned him zero (0) times previously and with him being barely even relevant is so funny and has similar energy to Melville suddenly talking about albatrosses in the middle of his chapter on the colour white and why it’s bad in Moby Dick where he doesn’t clarify what he’s talking about there at all and it’s just like ah yes if you know you know

It's funny you compare it to Melville bc he also mentions Byron in Moby Dick multiple times... 19th century writers stop obsessing over Byron challenge (impossible)

today i wrote zero words! but i did think about my story twice in passing. that probably counts for something
