#i need to get back to my drrr novel reread/annotating bc i have so many thoughts about izaya

[subarashiihibi]

i've already written about these quotes in my own drrr novel notes but i have to post about it here too just because i need to speak about it again but

narita describing izaya as 'very difficult to grasp or classify' here in his first real appearance and introduction is so UGHHHHH it's so fucking good. izaya is like an enigma and he is so complex and he's got all these things going on with him that all work to make him so so so beautiful and so i just really like that narita worded it like that. i love to observe izaya like he's a specimen under the microscope.

the other things i highlighted were also very important to me i think the 'anything that wasn't himself' is also a good glimpse into izaya's personality and the way his mind works. 'equally pleasant face' i just like that one cause i like when they call him beautiful in the story . <3

this also made me feel like i was going to ascend from my couch first time i reread it a while back. how interesting is it that narita describes mikado's feeling as though his 'entire existence would be denied' by the very man who so obviously struggles with facing his own humanity and instead chooses to see himself as an omnipotent figure. i just idk i'm not even going to try and get further into it bc i'm already like just feeling like i need to start rolling around and pulling my hair out but my god i love izaya orihara so much he truly is the goat he is MY goat 🙏🙏🙏

#do u know how hard it was for me to type out coheremt thoughts on this instead of just going #RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and adding 30 reaction images #anyways. opened up adobe acrobat just to highlight the text in cute colors. #i need to get back to my drrr novel reread/annotating bc i have so many thoughts about izaya #but the main thing stopping me other than school is that #i have it all on my izaya site... and i dont even have a set layout for it yet... #if anything i am really unhappy with how it currently is because the quote(s) and my annotations are all together #and i want them separate. #actually the way i did the shizaya fob lyrics thing is inspiring me to just go and use tooltips but like. #i dont like to use js when i dont need to... #i might just try doing a side by side thing but then i'd have to use scrollboxes to ensure the sdame height #sorry. sorrey. rambling again. i will be quite now #mine
