I've been wanting to be part of something like the dead poets society so I created a server on discord with this theme. Let's read some poetry together.

some people really are the porfiry petrovich of your life. not in a "bring some criminal to justice" way. but in a " play mind games with you till you start getting delirious with high fever and finally go insane" way.

Every science student has a little bit of Victor Frankenstein energy where they want to play god; and every law student has a bit of Raskolnikov energy where they think they're smart enough to commit the perfect crime. Economics students are just straight up Lord Henry from the picture of Dorian Gray. Literature students are the ones writing this post.

Can't believe Shakespeare based a whole character on the song Daddy Issues by The Neighbourhood. I think he's called Hamlet or something.

So I'm sitting and reading Kierkegaard's Sickness unto death in class and kids keep asking me what it's about. And everytime I try to summarise it, they go, "Oh self help?"
Umm...i guess?? That's one way to put it lol

uh....um...a couple things but no biggie
My friends: "you've never had a crush on a fictional man in a book?... you're lying"
meanwhile, men in the books I've read:
• man murders ppl to test out a theory
• man makes a person out of limbs to test the limits of science and then abandons it
• man turns into a bug and dies
• man shoots another man because the sun was too hot
• man stabs his friend because of moral corruption and arrogance
im not lying it's not that hard i promise
