#El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha

[red-velvet-0w0]

people really just do NOT give the og Don Quixote enough credit for how well written it is. i honestly think the origional book is about 10x better than any adaptation ive ever seen. especialy seeing as most of the adaptations completely remove the character of miguel de cervantes and his entire metanarrative, which is just such a major part in the story and tone of the origional book, and is responsible for several of its best jokes

honestly if i had more time and skill and money on my hands i would be tempted to make a true animated adaptation myself

Alive!Luis au thought

After the rescue, Luis crashed at Leon’s place until he can get his bearings in the US (and waiting for Ashley’s influence to get his professional past cleared)

Even after all the hell, deceptions, shattered dreams and pain he went through he still felt terribly homesick. Before the Plagas and los illuminados, his Home village was filled with good memories and cherished moments and now well… it’s permanently destroyed, gone to ashes and he unknowingly had a role in its destruction

He misses those memories and moments and he, oh so dearly, misses his grandfather the most.

So despite acting cocky, suave and debonair since he escaped, Leon knew Luis was not ok. He knows that mask himself all too well.

I guess you could say his hoarding and box breaking habits came in handy.

One evening, When Luis was out exploring the town, Leon got into the spare bedroom and set up a little space on a shelf yet-to-be-filled.

A journal, a photo, a ring and an old dusty damaged book of “El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha (primera parte)” by Miguel de Cervantes.

When Leon first found them in that broken house, he almost payed no attention. But after meeting Luis things started to click, especially when he saw his passion for the Hidalgo. What he found in that house belonged to Luis’ grandfather, that house was Luis’ and he got trapped underneath.

Come to think of it, those sets of test tubes should have clued him in.

Luis never had the chance to say goodbye to his grandfather nor had the chance to grieve his home properly. After all the work Luis put through to redeem himself, saving not only Him but also Ashley from becoming meat puppets. It’s the least he could do for him. In all that nightmare, there’re still good memories that deserve to be kept close.

I got tagged by @softest-punk to talk about BOOKS

Rules: 10 (non-ancient) books for people to get to know you better, or that you just really like.

Idk how we're defining non-ancient but I'm going to assume nothing pre-1400s just because people are listing Shakespeare? Which means I can't include Beowulf :< But know that Beowulf is on here in my heart

The Dark Elf Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore. Hoo boy. Baby's first fantasy novels. I fell in love with Drizzt Do'urden LONG before I knew what being edgy or goth was, and I was absolutely fascinated by the intricate politics of Menzoberranzan, but even MORE fascinated by the Underdark. This terrifying, harsh alien landscape all in darkness, lit only sometimes by phosphorescent fungi, populated by monstrous creatures and inhuman beings with complex cultures...I was actively less interested in the Forgotten Realms books when Drizzt left the Underdark! To this day I'm really fascinated by survival literature and hostile landscapes, and I find things like deserts and cave systems to be extremely beautiful. Also, I had a crush on Jarlaxle, but so did everybody else, so.

Don Quixote (El ingenioso hidalgo don Quixote de la Mancha) by Miguel de Cervantes. I originally read Don Quixote in college, and I fell in love with how it played around with the idea of stories, and how we use them to view the world. I wrote an entire paper about how Don Quixote serves as a sort of trickster figure, because we're meant to learn from his mistakes, but there are honestly so many different ways you can read the text! Is he insane? Is he the ONLY person in the world trying to do the right thing, and its only the rigid outline of society that's actively preventing him from doing it? Also, has one of the single most important quotes to ever be put to a page. "There is no book so bad...that it does not have something good in it."

Dragon's Milk by Susan Fletcher. This was the first book about dragons that I read. I think it probably wouldn't hold up well if I read it again? But I remember being in love with it when I was about 9 or 10. It felt VERY gritty to me (there's death! injury! grief!) at the time, lol.

John Dies at the End by David Wong. HERE'S a book that taught me a lot about fucking around with genre conventions. I reread JDatE about three times in the beginning to make sure I was getting everything, and I still reread it like...once a year or two years or so? Horror is a really special genre to me because there's so much you can learn from it and use it to convey. JDatE was one of the first successful horror COMEDY novels I read.

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I couldn't possibly choose a single book, so don't ask me to! This is meant to be read as a series anyways, even more so than other series. King is one of my favorite authors, and I've read pretty much his entire body of work, but there's something special about The Dark Tower books. They're so huge, and far-reaching, and they accomplish so MUCH and manage to entwine so many different threads into one (nearly, no one's perfect, lol) cohesive whole. I'm sure there are a lot of fantasy and scifi novels that manage to weave as many threads as King does here, but man, there's something SO satisfying about being able to go through the Tower books, and recognizing all the references to so many other books by him. <3

Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchett. WORDS IN THE HEART CANNOT BE TAKEN. Fuck, what a good book. About personhood, about self determination, about acceptance. Feet of Clay is definitely THE City Watch book for me, followed very closely by Night Watch.

Inferno by Dante Alighieri. Does this count as ancient? I don't care. Inferno was one of my introductions to translation and how word choice can change the entire effect of a sentence. I read it first in middle school, on my own, and then more in depth in high school and college, and I used to keep my annotated copy by my bed in my dorm, so I could go through it whenever I was stressed. I got really into etymology because of Inferno, an interest I still have today!

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner. When I read this in high school, the teacher for the class warned us that it was going to be a difficult read and that we would probably need a timeline she had made in order to follow along. But I didn't need the timeline. The leaps in time and space and narration all made perfect sense to me! It wasn't actually that hard to follow along, and the story being told between the words by Benjy was horrifying and fascinating and terribly sad! And then you got to the other parts and it was CONFIRMED to be horrifying and sad! Anyways The Sound and the Fury is a really cool example of nonlinear, unreliable, stream of consciousness narration and I like it a lot.

The Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. Just a really cool magic system. Really interesting worldbuilding. But it's the magic system that gets me.

Across the Acheron by Monique Wittig. Baby's first feminist lesbian book. I got Across the Acheron because I was intrigued by another version of Inferno. Instead, I figured out I wasn't straight! Like all feminist literature there's a lot of ways to read this and it probably hasn't held up as well as I would like, but I am indebted to it for like, letting 14 y/o me realize that not just liking boys was okay, so!

Por fin El Quijote

Soy otro lector de El Quijote, sí escribo para recordar y para celebrar que pasados los 54 años leí completo El Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha o Don Quijote de la Mancha, como lo llaman los editores. No me importa confesar que me tomó tanto tiempo decidirme a hacerlo y lograrlo. Pensé que no iba a poder leerlo completo, que me iba a rendir por la necesidad constante del diccionario y…
