tired homo shouts at clouds

And what if they were hunting here? what then?

This was given to me by a marquis who was beheaded by a mob 10 years after he gave it to me. Oh. I love it.

and what’s even more annoying is like. even if we say “yes, the ancient greeks are dead” then i am still like well how the fuck do you think they got that way??? do you think the eradication of ancient greek culture happened without imperialism?? do you think that just because it happened millennia ago that means it didn’t happen???

how long does a person have to be dead before their death stops being tragic

It’s The Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino.

I managed to find the same cover as the one he was reading which I'll put below.

It's a book about a group of travellers who meet in what might be a castle and what might be a tavern after crossing a forest which renders them unable to speak. They attempt to tell each other their stories through a deck of tarot cards and the stories are interpreted through the openly subjective view of the narrator.

It's effectively about how we individually create meaning out of what we see. The travellers cannot talk and the cards can represent so many different things to each person. Then there's the picture that all the cards create together. It's all about personal analysis. Also the very obviously and openly unreliable narrator, who isn’t a liar exactly but can only offer one personal interpretation of the stories being told.

So it’s obviously a commentary on the show itself and, to me, a response to the absolutist interpretations that run rampant in the fanbase. There is no objectivity to anyone’s perspectives in the show, which is what the cast and crew have been saying the whole time, and finding a singular truth is not the point.
