A bit about me.

INTJ with a morbid longing for the picturesque. I will not be giving my name, feel free to guess it. Lover of literature and cinema. I take book and movie recommendations (especially books), except romance, horror and YA genre. But be warned, you will see posts about YA books on this blog.

Asks are welcome, preferably about works of fiction.

Where I'm from, there's a saying which roughly translates to "An idle man was throwing a punch up his own ass". That's what they were doing.

read the secret history. here are my thoughts:

they needed jobs.

i find it so interesting how people act like "critically examining a piece of media" is the opposite of "enjoying that piece of media." rip to you but i actually find it really enjoyable and compelling to dissect and think through the art i engage with

[siriuslyobsessedwithfiction]

This used to be a thing in TSH fandom I think

Who's handwriting do I have? (I wrote this on my lap so the surface was uneven but still)

[siriuslyobsessedwithfiction]

V, I'm sure your pizza making skills are amazing, but can it wait a bit? Look at what's happening in the world dude, we need your help.

[siriuslyobsessedwithfiction]

Does anyone have any recommendations of books that remind them of Donna Tartt's books?

I have already added If We Were Villains to my to read list.

[siriuslyobsessedwithfiction]

What is my fyp frying to tell me, huh? IS THIS A SIGN?

[siriuslyobsessedwithfiction]

"-Being a reader is a miracle in itself. A reader is someone you can invite into a cramped sleeping bag among lovers and not be superfluous at all. This is a miracle, and I'll tell you more. You are not superfluous, you are necessary, because the author wanted you to be that way.

-What did the author want? - the supervisor says, confused.

-For you to be in the sleeping bag.

-Why did they want you to be?..

-Because they described it. - the respondent explains."

"-Oh, Dickens is good, okay, - the supervisor is happy, - David Copperfield..

-Really? - The respondent looks at him absent-mindedly, but the supervisor is so happy that he doesn't notice anything. He says: - Of course, it's very good, in the shade, sometimes Dickens…

-Sometimes Dickens and here and there Dostoevsky and Tolstoy, right? A real bookworm you are. - Klim, a small, chubby whipster, looks at him mockingly."

"She, once my bride, passed by, a mysterious mixture, filled with distant beauty, like the word… "periwinkle". And a man followed by her side, with an unpleasant expression on his face, like the word… "cloy", and I stood aside, superfluous, like the word "Therefore…".

The supervisor is looking at me intently, he even took off his sunglasses and looks at me like this, directly, straight, as I read the respondent's crazed answers aloud. "Ahaha… Haha… Okay, okay…" I present the answers that were recorded in detail - the named respondent does not like mathematics, because the writer Miguel de Cervantes plus some nonentity wannabe author is not two, but one plus one; that his fiancée was taken away by a man who looked like the word "cloy"; he believes that he does not waste even an iota of free time, because even while traveling in a crowded tram, he thinks about literature, but in a narrow sense, again and again only about fiction."

Me: SQL and Computer Network Administration midterms are going to be hard (especially since I haven't studied shit), but at least Management 101 exam is going to be easy.

Management professor: I'm going to ✨️Paris✨️ and can't be bothered to give y'all online lectures while I'm in ✨️Paris✨️. So on top of your midterms, you're going to have a group project. Enjoy!

Me and a guy whose name and last name coincidentally is literally the male version of my name and last name being the only ones doing the project in our group after we've had two midterms today and have two more tomorrow:

It melts my heart the way Ivan never takes his hand off Fedyor’s knee even while he is competently taking charge of the situation and giving orders. 

Did I mention how much I appreciate Ivan’s skills in combat and his leadership?  This is also a really clever use of a Squaller, clearing away smoke.  It makes one think that a Second Army fire team must always include at least one Squaller.

Has anyone written fic of Second Army operations? I want to see a well trained fire team or squadron hit targets and carry out missions.  

If I were writing it Ivan would be the squad leader. I know this is based on imperial Russia, but I would design his team in the US style (squad leader and two fireteams of 4 men each).  And of course it would have a nickname.

Help me out, fandom friends, what should Ivan’s squad be nicknamed?

Didn't plan to release the analysis of Kaz Brekker and the Darkling from my drafts but apparently I'll have to 😬💀. Still waiting for the day YA book fandoms learn to judge apart from the narrative. If we had Nikolai's rapist imbecile father's pov, people would rather defend him than the Darkling. I'm sure something bad happened to him when he was 9 as well. Maybe he feels bad about r*ping servants, who knows. Because screw the guy we don't personally hear a sob story from, right? Screw the Darkling. Killing a random boy and a girl who had a minor role in a scam is valid, Kaz Brekker always has a REASON 🤡. But making sacrifices after you have already sacrificed everything you had to stop a genocide that has been going for centuries is unforgivable 😀.
