I know we have well and truly Wuthered the boys beyond repair. 😅 But I'm curious, what novels would you equate your other favorite ships with?
@windsweptinred Emily Brontë, our queen of the Whutered Boys and honorary president of the Corinthiel fan club 🤍💚🤍💚 I'm convinced now that Heathcliff has small mouths instead of eyes, but that's another story 😅
Answering your question, my dear, was really difficult because for each pairing I could think of an infinite number of titles and couldn't decide! Going 'off the top of my head', I would say that for Dream x the Corinthian, the novel that first made me think of them is Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. There are passages that simply scream 'corintheus' to me!!
“You know how they say you only hurt the ones you love? Well, it works both ways.”
“How everything you ever love will reject you or die. Everything you ever create will be thrown away. Everything you're proud of will end up as trash.”
“Hey, you created me! I didn't create some loser alter-ego to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility!”
and I could go on! What is Tyler Durden if not a black mirror? The relationship between him and the protagonist reminds me so much of the one between Dream and Corinthian!! 👌👌
For my little hearts Dream x Lucienne I return instead to the Brontë sisters and say Jane Eyre :) I was watching Cary Fukunaga's film a few weeks ago and thought Morpheus would be a perfect Mr Rochester and Lucienne a sublime Jane! There is something about Jane's proud, dignified and sensible character that reminds me a lot of Lucienne 💖💖
"Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own: in pain and sickness it would still be dear."
"I have little left in myself -- I must have you. The world may laugh -- may call me absurd, selfish -- but it does not signify. My very soul demands you: it will be satisfied, or it will take deadly vengeance on its frame"
"I loved him very much - more than I could trust myself to say - more than words had power to express"
Gooodddd!!! Please, sedate meeee!!! Once again, a Brontë lady wants to kill me 💘 💘
Finally, for the Corinthian x Lucienne....for them it's more complicated, because on the one hand I see their relationship as like in a sit-comedy, on the other hand as a subtle tension destined to remain unexpressed: for this reason I think about this poem by Federico García Lorca rather than a novel
I did not mean.
I did not want to tell you anything.
I saw in your eyes
two crazy little trees.
Breeze, laughter and gold.
I did not mean. I did not want to tell you anything.
What about you my dear? 😊 Which novels do you most like to associate with the ships of your heart? 💖💖💖💖
