“snort...snort...” snorted Prince Nikolai Andreich

every day since i finished war and peace i think about how leo tolstoy was a misogynist

ngl having opinions on classic lit is intimidating because people have been studying these books for like one william years and i'm over here on tumblr instead of making sure i don't get kicked out of school. but also who cares here is ivan karamazov's fursona

My secret is revealed…

i thought this response weird because i can clearly see your name floating above your speech so it's no secret at all, but then i remembered that's probably just me and the shinigami thing. you have negative lifespan left btw. around -100 years

re: your tags i do not in fact understand the reference but honestly that makes it better i can’t stop laughing at the absurdity of this response. i have -100 years left to live because i’m leo tolstoy. sure i deserve that for the second epilogue

do you think dolokhov ever actually died.

do you think he's died yet

Funniest line in all of classic literature comes in War & Peace when Nikolai Rostov, shocked by the fact that people in a war zone are shooting at him, says "Are they trying to kill me?? Me, who everybody loves???"

Reading War and Peace for the first time after listening to Great Comet and finding out that Pierre was staying with the Kuragins in Petersburg and partying with Anatole and Dolokhov every night is so scary. Like ohhhhh Pierre don’t do that!! Partying with Anatole is a bad idea!!!! And then Andrei tells him this and Pierre does it anyway and next thing you know Pierre and Anatole have tied a cop to a bear.

if there was any justice at all in the world “every helen has her troy” would be an idiom (“every beautiful woman leaves a disaster in her wake”) and misogynistic renaissance authors would use it to describe hot women they didn’t like but, of course, inadvertently making her sound insanely awesome in the process. and then in modern times instead of talking about things being their hill to die on women could say “this is my troy to burn” and people on tumblr would be kind of horny about the whole thing and it would get incorporated into the whole “can yuo put that out on me” genre of posts. anyway just a glimpse into my beautiful mind tonight

at the club no drinks.in.fully stone cold sober: what if thsre was a secret city

Face twists with bravery as a chill runs through the air We have to find it.

We have to find it

it's been nine years and i still get mad every tony night about what happened to great comet.

remember when we had a beautifully staged innovative musical with a diverse cast that used music as a medium for character as well as plot and was so so stunning to look at to boot. remember when. and remember when somehow a show that was so against taking a stance that it comes across as excusing terrible behavior because of mental health at best and glorifying the debilitating effects of mental illness at worst swept the tonys that year instead. remember when there were two shows that featured the band as part of the cast for most (bandstand) if not all (great comet) of the show and a bland pop-rock musical somehow won best orchestrations over that?? jesus christ man. fuck.
