This illustration for the wikihow article on "How to Get Over the Death of a Fictional Character" is unreasonably funny to me.

one thing im really liking about nabokovs writing is like. the narrator talks in such obfuscating longwinded flowery language for 90% of the story that the moments where he drops the pretense are so chilling. "one could still - but the key was already in the lock and i was in the room." is going to haunt me.

I wanted you to know that I have a daughter. I have a daughter that you would really, really like. Because she and you are…I'm so sorry. It isn't really…What must you think of me? I'm, um…I'm just going to tell you. I…I am…You…It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I can't say it anyway. Let's just leave it at goodbye.

One hell of a way to start a book

“An oblong puddle inset in the coarse asphalt; like a fancy footprint filled to the brim with quicksilver; like a spatulate hole through which you can see the nether sky. Surrounded, I note, by a diffuse tentacled black dampness where some dull dun dead leaves have stuck. Drowned, I should say, before the puddle had shrunk to its present size. It lies in shadow but contains a sample of the brightness beyond, where there are trees and two houses. Look closer. Yes, it reflects a portion of pale blue sky - mild infantile shade of blue - taste of milk in my mouth because I had a mug of that colour thirty-five years ago. It also reflects a brief tangle of bare twigs and the brown sinus of a stouter limb cut off by its rim and a transverse bright cream-coloured band. You have dropped something, this is yours, creamy house in the sunshine beyond. When the November wind has its recurrent icy spasm, a rudimentary vortex of ripples creases the brightness of the puddle. Two leaves, two triskelions, like two shuddering three-legged bathers coming at a run for a swim, are borne by their impetus right into the middle where with a sudden slowdown they float quite flat. Twenty minutes past four. View from a hospital window. November trees, poplars, I imagine, two of them growing straight out of the asphalt: all of them in the cold bright sun, bright richly furrowed bark and an intricate sweep of numberless burnished bare twigs, old gold - because getting more of the falsely mellow sun in the higher air. Their immobility is in contrast with the spasmodic ruffling of the inset reflection - for the visible emotion of a tree is the mass of its leaves, and there remain hardly more than thirty-seven or so here and there on one side of the tree. They just flicker a little, of a neutral tint, but burnished by the sun to the same ikontinct as the intricate trillions of twigs. Swooning blue of the sky crossed by pale motionless superimposed cloud wisps. The operation has not been successful and my wife will die.”

— Vladimir Nabokov, Bend Sinister

"Then why did you even give this to me?!" "…I don't know. I didn't know what to do. On one hand, I guess just…I just didn't want to disappear. This really wasn't meant for you. But I guess I…I just wanted to leave you something, too. I wanted to build you a garden."

ohhh roxie

yes this is how im coping with the new games ending

[jailesbleu]

The ending isn't any more important than the moments before it.

Kan Gao, To The Moon

also the reveal as to why eva's so interested in jellyfish. not just as a cute quirk but representative of immortality, a desire to hold onto something for as long as possible, something that can regenerate itself and live on, replacing everything, healing everything.

the ability to reverse their life-cycle and start over... sounds an awful lot like what sigcorp does.

"Stuck in the timeloop as a punishment" is cool and all, but stuck in the timeloop voluntarily though? Oh, brother. Stuck in the timeloop cause you just can't move on. Stuck in the timeloop even if you know that it's not real and whatever should've happen already did. Stuck in the timeloop even if doesn't makes you happy. You just can't bear the thought of not being able to see them ever again. Stuck in the timeloop even if you know you should move on. Stuck in the timeloop even if you know they would want you to move on.

But maybe just a little while longer.
