He looks so proud of himself

I could accept ACOTAR for what it is (mediocre, not thought out, purely smut driven after the first book) but the stans painting Rhysand (and the other bat boys) as boyfriend material that we should strive for irl is genuinely what fuels me to be such a big hater

cruelty is so easy. youre not special for choosing it

"Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundaneness of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard." - Brennan Lee Mulligan

"How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints." --C.S. Lewis

BIG fan of "it is tempting to think-"

I love academics going scorched earth. "It's tempting to think X" is a declaration of war

ALWAYS REBLOG THIS ONE

I have never hit the reblog button so fast

*sees that my post has 10,000 notes* By Talos this can’t be happening.

He is also the only male member of the Greek Pantheon with zero (0) counts of rape to his name. He had a lot of kids, but by all accounts it was with willing partners.

I swear gothic romance covers peaked during this era. Modern ones are bland in comparison.

Just my opinion but it’s irksome that Le Morte d’Arthur is the default Arthurian text. Trying to find articles about the Vulgate is a challenge.

And forget finding anything about Gawain that isn’t SGATGK. Yes thank you that’s beautiful but I’m looking for info about slut Gawain.

I'm going to assume the reason is because of the price. It's easy and cheap to get a copy of Morte or SGATGK, but the copies of the English translation of the Vulgate I have were $350 for the whole set.
