i was very gay for the few minutes of Netflix!Renfri that i was graciously given but book!Renfri is on a whole another level. where is her own book. where is it

i dont have many thoughts and im stopping for tonight because i am exhausted, but something tells me that translation is to blame for a lot of things im dissatisfied with. or maybe i am just tired

lets GO

so many pure and stupid nen here im DYING theyre all HIMBOS and Beatrice is the only smart woman. what is this, bisexual heaven?

UMM HFUCK THIS LOOKS SO GOOD???

i was SUPPOSED to see this last week in an on-campus theatre but obviously i did NOT and i am BITTER about it. anyway i am gonna be bitterly reading this now

im dyinggggggg
i told my mom that i'll finish it and she said good and she said i want to hear what you think so that i don't have to read it too but i am so not sure anymore i am so not sure

the amount of mansplaining..... is just one small little thing in the long list of things in this book that make me understand why this is one of my dad's favourite books😳😶

this book was assigned in january, and i have been reading it for 17 years. tonight i finally realized that this is Not In Fact A Frankenstein Retelling, Like Not At All. which is, i guess, not a bad thing in itself, but extremely infuriating in the context of a fucking Frankenstein-centered university course. why the fuck do i even bother asking questions about this particular course at this point haha

finished De Profundis. this is very very sad and i shall retire to write my paper in sorrow (partly because it is due in the morning)

"What was there, as a mere matter of fact, in you that I could influence? You brain? It was undeveloped. Your imagination? It was dead. Your heart? It was not yet born." i am typing out an angry and perplexed email to my prof as we SPEAK, was Douglas really that terrible i just want to know i just cannot DEAL with this

i don't even remember when this turned into a passionate love declaration for Christ, but it did, and it's been going on for a while and i don't know what's going on and how we got here

cue my bitter laugh at the fact that Queensberry was so obsessed with the idea of both his sons being gay that in one case he ended up forcing the Prince of Wales to interfere, and destroying Wilde's whole career in another

An Ideal Husband: this was so sweet and nice and neat i did Not expect that :) my heart :) is :) full :)

ooohhhHHhh i SEE how it IS and i LOVE it

this book is feeding me so well with its gore and my blood thirst is now quenched

Johann's "nevertheless, you know, here I am" has the same energy as Jaskier's "and yet, here we are" in netflix's witcher no i do not take questions at this time

love their dynamic....its GREAT. also give me any nordic-like fictional country with a monster boy character and i WILL love it, just saying

i'll be reading a ton of critical essays as soon as im done and also im discovering the wonders of bilingual existence, which include being shit at reading in your native language after not doing so for uhhh months and months and months rip

the free indirect discourse of it all *chef's kiss* UGH!! i have NO idea what Peter is really like and it is utterly fascinating

i have been wrong all along.....it is Nicholas and Ivan who are gay..... Ivan is in Love.....

but on a more serious note why is Nicholas such a Wildean lord Henry, a mess, a mess, a MESS

no but LISTEN Peter??? my poor son?? is speaking in gay to Nicholas oh my god?? "i am at your service, in all respects, you understand" seconds after Nicholas hits him with "but what if i were to REALLY marry Lisa" GHHHHH

o my fuckingng god... they fuckcing Gay

Salome: I think I liked it. it's all very elusive and vague and mysterious but the METAPHORS!!! also can't stop thinking about Salome/Sybil Vane parallels. love that

yeah yk what i'll just.... dnf again haha not the first time i'm gonna be doing it to an arc yikes

also as a follow-up: i hate how some american boomers write. i don't know what you're referencing half the time because i didn't grow up back there back then, couldn't care less about certain details of american history. this is a reader's companion that is meant to explain the context and the significance of the play to me, yet it only further complicates everything. boo

stop telling me this play is good and tell me WHY

the title alone makes me WANT to make a powerpoint on this book, good thing i HAVE TO do it huh

this is Not Going Anywhere yet im kinda frustrated big time yikes

Lady Windermere's Fan: hilarious, 10/10. sir Wilde sure promotes self-plagiarism but you know what? he is allowed, since that makes my essay-writing business so damn easy.
