it’s so funny to me that lord byron’s daughter was a badass who invented computer science and had a shit ton of affairs but percy and mary shelley’s son was a failed conservative politician who had a happy peaceful marriage. yin and yang

Pride Flag but it's colorpicked from that one poster for the 1887 Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde play with Richard Mansfield.

I can not wait for the whale weekly readers to get to the part where Ishmael has the chance to measure a beached whale and he considers it such an important scientific opportunity that he tattoos the measurements on his arm to make sure nothing happens to them BUT he is also writing a poem on his arm and he needs space to finish it so he FUCKING ROUNDS ALL OF THE NUMBERS AND NONE OF THEM ARE ACCURATE

helen vendler’s ‘reading for difference’ article literally changed my life like it’s one of the few pieces of criticism on shakespeare’s sonnets that has me nodding along furiously and also. i think its ideas would benefit rgu analysis because my god some of you guys. stop reading along that static axis of similarity it will free you fr fr

New aesthetic: HavishamCore

It's not executive dysfunction -- it's decaying grandeur and it's very expensive.

🕸 Select a favorite item of clothing. Put it on. Now never take it off.

🕸 Stop cleaning. Encourage spiders to decorate your house instead.

🕸 Set the table with a lavish feast. Leave it there indefinitely -- it's decor now.

🕸 Stop all of the clocks in your house and set them to the same time. May require that you obtain several analog clocks.

🕸 Only wear one shoe.

🕸 Adopt a small child. Now train her to crush the hearts of men in some bizarre scheme for revenge against a completely unrelated person.

🕸 Invite playmates over for your adopted child to practice destroying. Encourage them to develop an unhealthy infatuation.

🕸 Wander around your decaying mansion in a veil.

🕸 Scheme.

🕸 Repent immediately before catching fire.

"Smut authors will destroy the fandom if they don't stop writing their disgusting fics!"

Oh no! How horrible! [destroys it faster]

Remember: If someone tries to touch you in a place or way that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's no good!

Schrödinger's Hyde: In this box we have a Victorian scientist that is simultaneously both a well-respected doctor, and a horrible small man. It is only when we open the box that, depending on the context in which he is being observed, the bastard changes himself into what he considers most beneficial.

I theorize that Werther’s real love interest was not Charlotte. It was, in fact, Wilhelm.

You’re welcome.

seriously tho literature and rgu are my big two. i read Any book and my first thought is ‘what would anthy and touga think about this book’ and then i spend a very long time considering what their responses might be to the point that ive written a fair few book reviews from their perspectives. i mean i also have my own thoughts and feelings but those are dealt with as equally important. what do you mean normal people process art in ways that are not this. what

Me, reading a lengthy passage about the politics of Franciscan monks circa 1327 in the middle of a novel: Ah, pulling a Moby Dick, are you?
