i'll never forgive a certain genre of person for fostering this common conception that dostoeyvsky's works are all these horribly depressing, hard to read novels because that man's writing is funny as hell and reads like a long distance friend telling you about a local drama on facetime at 2am

#this!!!#notes from underground is half a black comedy #and the scene in the idiot where nastasya whacks someone with a riding crop and myshkin gets flung over a chair AT THE ORCHESTRA #is so very entertaining to me #oh and c&p opening with raskolnikov going outside and interacting with someone for the first time in months and instantly regretting it #reading a dostoyevsky book genuinely covers the entire range of human emotion #you will laugh you will cry you will hate everything you will love everything for the sake of the good that persists despite it all #one of the greatest authors ever his books are life changing #fyodor dostoevsky #russian literature #dostoevksy #classic literature

Collecting books is great until you have to move all of them at once and realize that every one of the little bastards weighs about as much as a brick and collectively have the mass of a neutron star

#me moving the stack of books i’m too lazy to put away from my desk to my bed and back every day

men don't sob and collapse into chairs like they used to in classic lit anymore. because of woke.

#they still could if they weren’t cowards #they also don’t spontaneously develop fevers and melancholia anymore which we should also bring back #people talk about how much women fainted back then but to be fair everyone was kind of hysterical about everything #classic literature

imagine being a person waiting in line for confession and Special Agent Dana Scully is in there spending 45 minutes and 33 seconds narrating the story of All Souls, just to confess one (1) sin

#that’s just how being catholic is #why pay for therapy when trauma dumping to your confessor is free #txf #dana scully #the x files

I love that opera sits in this limbo where it's extremely well-known but not really beyond a surface level recognition, so you get commercials for makeup or whatever to the tune of the I Hate Women So Much It's Unreal aria

#to be fair that’s just how having a crush feels #also for how well known it is not enough people talk about how insane the plot of the magic flute is #the music is gorgeous but it’s also freemason propaganda #probably not even the fifth most insane thing mozart wrote though #opera #classical music
