I am always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.

I'm rereading Catcher in the Rye (yes bc of the discourse 🤡) and Holden's like. I left on a note on my history test so my professor wouldn't have to feel bad for failing me. I think my little sister is so smart and she's my favorite person to talk to on the phone. I have to write this essay for my roommate on his shitty typewriter because I already lent my typewriter to someone else. I invite the friendless guy next door to go to the movies with us even though he's consistently rude to everyone. I got in a fistfight with my roommate because I got so upset thinking about how badly he treats girls and the possibility he'd done so to one of my friends. I think you shouldn't be intimate with girls you're not really fond of and it's confusing that sometimes things that seem rude to do are fun in that context and I don't know what to do about it. I'm freezing in the snow because someone stole my coat but I still want to say goodbye. I couldn't stand watching my former headmaster be rude and dismissive to students' parents who didn't look perfect and rich. I'm still heartbroken over my little brother's death from leukemia. 

And people not only call him a misogynist asshole but say things like "I get that's he intentionally written to be an unlikeable monster, but I still hate this book because I just didn't like the experience of being in his head." The book opens with him telling you he's in a sanatorium. There are other reasons to engage with art than just rollicking good funtimes entertainment jfc

#maybe you don't need a little dark academia aesthetic blog like no you don't have to like any particular book #but maybe you also don't need to write about literature if you can't read #literally saw someone say something dismissive like 'i guess he's sad his brother died of cancer or whatever' like do you hear yourself #the catcher in the rye #holden caulfield #let's get this read

i think it's really interesting setting catcher in the rye in the leadup to christmas. in new york city of all places. you've got this holiday season associated with togetherness and family and joy and warmth but it's about this kid who's just wandering around aimlessly and lonely and depressed and isolated. and it's in this city that never sleeps full of crowds who hardly look at each other. it's full of people, but everyone's alone. it really drives home the dissonance of the american experience and all that.

I think we as a society need to be pushing for a more realistic and sympathetic wide spread analysis of Holden Caulfield. Everyone thinks he’s either some profound intellectual or is just some whiny kid. Holden was emotionally neglected, and it was implied the teacher that he’d trusted SA’d him. That kid wanted to help and protect other kids from the harshness of the world. He was a CHILD. He was whiny because he was a teenager but he had every right to be jaded and hate the world, but he still held out hope that kids could be protected from the harsh reality out there. He was a BABY. He didn’t know where the ducks in central park went when the water froze over. He hired a prostitute and spent the whole night talking to her. He needed someone to protect him. Catcher In The Rye is about a kid that the every adult in his life failed. Throwing money at a kid and offering them no warmth breaks them. Holden was a spoiled bratty kid, but he was just that. A KID. He needed someone to look after him.

#I remember being 17 HATING him bc ‘we all have problems’ #but as I got older I realized how YOUNG he really was. I teach kids his age. they’re babies. they need to be cared for #catcher in the rye #holden caulfield #sam rants

THE WAY THE DUCKS REPRESENT HOW HE CANT FUCKING MOVE ON AND HE CARES ABOUT THINGS NO ONE ELSE DOES OR AT LEAST NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO ADMIT IN AND IT MAKES ME CRY

THE WAY NOT GETTING ON THE CAROUSEL AT THE END SHOWS HES FINALLY STARTING TO TRY TO GROW UP

THE WAY HE NOTICES THINGS ABOUT PEOPLE

THE WAY HES SO IMMATURE ABOUT ALL THESE ‘PHONIES’ BUT THE WAY HES KINDA RIGHT

THE WAY HES BI AND AUTISTIC

THE WAY HE CARES BUT HES STILL A BIT OF AN UNFEELING PRICK SOMETIMES BUT THE WAY ITS USUALLY BECAUSE HE CARES TOO MUCH

THE WAY HE HAS SO MUCH CARE IN SUCH AN UNCARING WORLD AND YET ITS SOMEHOW MISINTERPRETED BY EVERYONE HE MEETS AS LACK OF CARE

THE WAY HES DROWNING IN HIS TRAUMA AND HIMSELF AND HE JUST CANT MAKE IT INTO THAT ADULT WORLD

THE WAY HIS ONLY ALLY IS HIS SISTER, AND MAYBE THAT TEACHER TOO I GUESS

THE WAY HES A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR

THE WAY HE CAN BE SO MEAN BUT FEELS SO BAD ABOUT IT BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE HIM ABLE TO STOP

and sorry if this is phrased rude i genuinely don’t mean it that way, but the way everyone just reads the book and says ‘ew he’s such a dick’

Holden Caulfield you’ll be special to me forever ❤️
