crime and punishment: dunya and marfa petrovna / dunya and sonya anna karenina: kitty and anna / kitty and varenka

every great russian novel needs a naïve but ultimately sensible young girl who has weirdly explicit homoerotic tension with an older unhappily married woman of dubious morals, and subsequently also becomes completely captivated by and devoted to an extremely pious young incarnation of virtue and charity cast to the margins of society by some nebulous misfortune within instants of meeting her

*me at the club* so does anyone wanna discuss queer undertones in classic literature?

Hi I just wanted you to know that a month ago I read A Gentleman in Moscow since you recommended it and I cannot stop thinking about Bread and Salt. I am reading Anna Karenina now and just reached the passage quoted in it from Levin's perspective and it knocked me straight in the chest. Thank you for this recommendation, if you have more I would love to have them

i'm glad you liked it! if you were ever called a weird and disconcerting child who's grown up to be what your friends say in a knowing voice "quirky" i recommend the absurd, gothic, coming-of-death story o caledonia by elspeth barker. i've also been reading metropolis: a history of the city and braiding sweetgrass, which are nonfictions that have the AGIM-esque ability to tilt the world at an angle i've never seen before and show me something fantastically new. braiding sweetgrass in particular should be a staple in everyone's bookshelf as the seas rise and forests burn etc etc

Between Levin and Countess Nordston a relationship had grown up that is seen quite frequently in society, when two people outwardly remaining on friendly terms despise one another to such a point that they cannot treat the other seriously and cannot even be offended by each other.

--- Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy.

Page 60 of Anna Karenina... so far so good. The titular character sill hasn't appeared but I'm very engrossed in the story so far. What I admire about Tolstoy is his little descriptions of people's characteristics that make me instantly go like: "Oh! I know exactly what he's talking about!" It's usually the most mundane things, but it makes the writing so descriptive and so easy to really sink into and view his characters as real people... also, I couldn't help but to notice... was there common ground between Kitty and Levin and Pierre and Natasha? The way Levin talks about her is somehow very familiar. These feelings of "I'm not good enough for her, she's perfect and I'm a nobody etc etc..." ?

[hxlda-hxlda]

thank u thank u @fiddleleafedfig for the tag !!

nine people you want to get to know better

last song: when i opened the tag, 'alien blues' by vundabar but currently i'm listening to hozier 'would that i'. as of finishing writing this, radiohead. there you have it.

favourite colour: a deep cherry red. the kind that would make a really lovely lipstick gloss.

last movie/tv show: i'm terrible with shows and movies, but i was watching the bowie doco (moonage daydream) the other day, keeping on brand ik. i also love british comedians so 'would i lie to you?' is probably up there as well.

sweet/savoury/spicy: sweet if it is really well done. i'm talking specifically that one pub down by where i live that for some reason makes the best chocolate lava cake ever. if not, savoury forever.

last thing i googled: beatles guitar songs for beginners. i've decided to relearn guitar and i'm back to the absolute basics.

current obsession: concerts! this is a long-standing love but it is very evident lately. the way concerts down here work is that no one comes for years bc of the trek to aus, and then randomly there's this one month period where everybody is here at once and suddenly i have to choose between favs. that has been this month! hard on the bank account but my soul is thriving with a concert every other week. saw noah kahan, it was life-altering.

last book: i'm between the '50 yrs of led zeppelin' biography by mick wall, and 'anna karenina' by tolstoy atm. (adding it) last fic: blends by rvltn909. finished it yesterday and oh my god. the crime that was me putting it off.

looking forward to: still a little ways away, but i'm moving to america for (my) winter-spring!! i've work in the states, which i'm thrilled abt. it also means i am tracking down artists who refuse to concert in aus (hozier for the love of god) and trying to sneak them in as well.

np tags (apologies if you've already been tagged): @fairylittlebitch @alltoounwellll @the-moon-says-hi @just--vi @whyistarchaser @bellaxisworld @feminist-cult-following @none-of-it-was-accidental @svnflowermoon + ofc anybody else who wants to. tag me. let me know you all.
