you know what’s so fun about being a lesbian majoring in english and french?

ok so it’s like this. you see a woman and suddenly words don’t exist. not in english. not in french. nope nada zilch.

and hindsights even funnier because wow you totally had a crush on half of your english and french teachers in secondary school…

funny how you chose english and french to major in, eh?

#mes competences de français n’est pas bien mais j’y travaille #i sure hope thats semi accurate #if not…well i told you i was working on it #anywho i cant sleep so im Thinking instead #also ignore the fact that flow doesnt exist in this post #i am in fact not immune to a pretty girl #i become tongue tied flustered yep you name it the whole shebang #forget about eye contact #suddenly this is THE MOST fascinating looking countertop ive ever seen #im already billngual (french will be my third) and even THAT doesnt help me #useless lesbian am i right #personal #might delete later #english major #french major

Balzac, Dumas and Hugo had their differences. but they all share the common basic belief that introducing their mysterious protagonist through their most recent disguise is a hell of a power move

#who WAS that mysterious englishman who was strangely touched by the fate of a guy whowas kind to dantès many years ago?#and that mysteriously athletic spanish priest?#ugly as sin but still very seductive #and that major who could lift a whole carriage by himself???#hmmmm….#french romantics

I have a bottle of wine on my bookshelf. I put it next to my Russian literature, Kafka, and Camus. I think that’s fitting, no? 🍷

"That's enough for me," said Sonya, flushing crimson.

"No; but I have been in love a thousand times, and I shall fall in love again, though such a feeling of affection, confidence and love I have for no one as for you. Then I am young…”- Nikolay

"Don't speak to me of it. I want nothing. I love you as a brother, and shall always love you, and I want nothing more." - Sonya

"You are an angel; I'm not worthy of you, but I am only afraid of deceiving you” - Nikolay

War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy

Sometimes I think about how loustat are in a placage marriage and make myself insane.

#placage is a system of concubinage prevalent in pre 1804 Louisiana where wealthy white men would take black partners and oft have kids #who would then become the free black elite in the south especially in NOLA #it stems from french/ catholic “progressive” views on race mixing that made it ok in french/spanish colonies vs english colonies #so when i say louis is lestats concubines in canon do not get mad at me #they cant get married legally but everyone regards them to be in some type of relationship #lestat then leaves louis at home to cavort publically with white society #its so interesting #like this was my major in college i wanna talk about it so bad but you people cant handle someone saying lestat was dead wrong so i caint #like i love loustat #in canon yhe show is pulling from that history of interracial relationships in nola #and some of them genuinely loved each other but that racialized dynamic was always there even though the black person was 'free'#the white partner could always sell them or their kids into slavery so there was always that dynamic over the black partner #and then louis is most likely a descendants of one of these relationships like theres levels to this shit #interview with the vampire #iwtv #amc iwtv #louis de pointe du lac #lestat de lioncourt #iwtv 2022 #ldpdl #loustat

will never not be endlessly fascinating how people attach their identities or sense of selves to fictional characters to where when u actually talk about the story people get all in their feelings and shit bruh tighten up

#and ts funny bc ppl overidentify w these characters at the expense of the characters rich backgrounds #a brown muslim vampire who was turned during the inquisition the moor in venice is endlessly more interesting than the generic faceless fano #people have concocted #louis and claudia in new orleans have such a different past despite being blocks from eachother and its all so interesting theyre not just #faceless constructs of ‘black’ diversity bridgerton hires they come from a specific place and time but ppl dont give af #lestat’s french background is essential to who he is in AUs meanwhile yall think brown/black are generic identifiers w no bg that informs #characterization and motives #then the majority of fandumb weirdos are losers who got high on their own supply and genuinely believe an entire 7 episode season means noth #ng #considering pre s1/ongoing s1 theories was that armand was lestat in a brown body this fanbase is sooooo stupid like #everyone is stupid and im dumber for it

The Duality of Woman: Anais Nin

Vogue Magazine, Anais Nin talks about being a woman, 15 October 1971

Anais Nin is a woman of duality. It's been a well-known fact for those who know or love her that she is truly a two-sided coin. She said it herself in her book Henry and June,

"I will always be the virgin prostitute, the perverse angel, the two-faced sinister and saintly woman"(bookquoters.com).

From her intense marriages to two different men on opposite sides of the country, to her literary career, to even her personal reflections and essays, Nin was a figure bathed in duality. How does one split the image of Anais Nin ideally in half? You just have to find the seam between diarist and eroticist.

The Diarist

Anais Nin is most well-loved by her adoring fans because of her published diary. As a young girl, Nin wrote her father a letter begging him to return to the family he had abandoned (The Anais Nin Foundation). This was the beginning of Nin's diary, which would be published in seven volumes, with four unexpurgated diaries later appearing after their original publication.

Her diaries were incredibly personal, full of secrets and thoughts she never thought would come to light. The biggest secret within these diaries was that she was married to two different men simultaneously, something she would remove from the diaries upon initial publication. Years later, Nin compiled the removed sections into one volume, the first of her unexpurgated diaries. It was called Henry and June, and detailed the letters and writings the two shared. The duality of Nin stretched throughout every aspect of her life.

These highly intimate journals struck twentieth-century American women directly in their souls. As one journalist famously put it in an article for The Conversation,

Anaïs Nin dreamed, in all senses. She dreamed of lives and possibilities. She dreamed in slumber and allowed her dreams to leak into the day. As I regularly committed the cardinal social sin of recounting my dreams over breakfast, she seemed a soulmate across oceans and generations (Gorman).

These teenage girls and their daydreams were instantly hooked on Nin's likeminded wonder and splendid prose. She became a sensation after the diary publications almost instantly, giving her a decent seat in literary history.

It wouldn't be long until something else gave her another boost of fame.

Ramon Casas, Decadent Young Woman. After the Dance, 1899

The Eroticist

In the late 1970s, Anais Nine published three volumes of erotic short fiction, each containing approximately ten stories. Despite their popularity, the term erotic is a tad inappropriate. Although she wasn't a follower of the transgressive art movement like Georges Bataille, Anais Nin's erotic stories are more disturbing and controversial than actually arousing.

Nin wrote about such topics as sexual abuse, incest, pedophilia, and other forms of sexual violence within her stories. These works would go on to shock and challenge readers even today (Maza).
