My kind of love is made for the stage, untouchable and unbroken; its fate is to be doomed in repetition, in the most beautiful form of art. - Laura Chouette

Reading Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose again. It's fucking delirious with all the grandiloquent philosophy, theology and the passages in Latin, and it's so fun. Genuinely. What a puzzle of a book. Extremely historically accurate, too. I'm glad to have been taught Latin as part of my curriculum because it means I get to read this in the og version and fully understand it as I go.

This novel combines two of my favorite things, reading and translating. It's my favorite book, has been since I first read it at 13.

The Seductive Allure of Tragedy

Within the intricate tapestry of human emotions, a particularly captivating thread weaves through the realm of love, desire, and the tantalizing embrace of tragedy. In the depths of human experience, there exists a peculiar masochistic beauty that arises when two lovers find themselves entangled in a dance that mingles pleasure with pain, ecstasy with anguish. This intoxicating blend defies conventions, drawing them closer into a realm where pain and pleasure intertwine in an exquisitely tragic symphony.

Picture a passionate affair between two souls, bound not only by love but also by a desire for the intense experience that only tragedy can bring. This love story transcends the ordinary boundaries of romance, inviting them to explore the more enigmatic facets of their connection. The pain of separation, the yearning for the unattainable, and the intoxicating allure of longing become their shared indulgences, infusing their bond with a potent mix of emotions that are both deeply sensual and profoundly melancholic.

As these lovers succumb to the masochistic allure of their connection, they willingly surrender to the exquisitely twisted sensations that accompany their union. The ecstasy of their union becomes inseparable from the agony of their longing, and their union is illuminated by the shadows of their shared melancholy.

The masochistic beauty of lovers embracing tragedy underscores the depth of human experience, revealing that pain can be just as intoxicating as pleasure. These souls, drawn together by an irresistible magnetism of agony and yearning, embark on a journey of self-discovery that leads them to the very edges of their emotional limits.

In the intimate dance of pain and pleasure, these lovers find a unique kind of ecstasy—one that is intricately woven into the fabric of their masochistic bond. As they navigate the uncharted waters of their shared desires and self-imposed anguish, they redefine the boundaries of love and experience the heightened intensity of emotions that only tragedy's touch can provide. Through their captivating masochistic embrace, they beckon us to explore the depths of human passion and the enigmatic allure of pleasure entwined with pain.

Bookworm Will Review 2024 ( #14 )

Title: 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo'

Author: Taylor Jenkins Reid

Rating: 4.75 / 5

Review: (MILD SPOILERS)

YES I KNOW IM LATE TO THE BANDWAGON!

I'm already upset at myself because holy crap this was incredible! Evelyn's story and journey was a beautifully tragic story of multiple forms of love, redemption, and growth all within an addictive timeline. I'm not trying to romanticize what she went through, especially for the time periods, but I can't ignore the raw emotionally charged character moments between every single character. In some ways it even felt daring and quite unexpected.

The lengths Evelyn will go to survive and prove that the world, even nowadays is so morally gray, not to pettily justify her actions, but to help those around her. The impact is quite heavy the further you continue to read. From start to finish I was invested in how she saw the world despite being a rather biased narrator. You really couldn't help but root for her as she grew wiser and kept on moving forward from husband to husband.

The relationship dynamics were almost completely different, except for a universal theme of possession, which gets mentioned early on. It all clicked.

While Evelyn was the star, Harry took my heart a million times over. That friendship was beyond beautiful and while one can argue a bit 'too perfect' or 'convenient for the plot', I LIVED for it. That was more emotional for me to read that the Celia plotline because as everything begins to wind down.... boom.

It all comes crashing down.

However, its not just that.

THE PLOT TWIST.

I was gasping for air. It ALL came together in such a telenovela style that I ate it up SO fast.

I can't recommended this book enough. It was an absolute beautiful tragedy!

Thinking about how Hermes intentionally wasted Percy and Annabeths time in the casino hoping to change Lukes’ fate. And how everything Hermes has done since finding out about Lukes future will be in service of delaying/changing his fate. He said Poseidon warned him that no matter how much he tried to help, he would just make things worse. Yet he is still trying to help Luke. Still trying to make things right. But Luke has already chosen his path. Pure Greek tragedy

The Final Show

Perhaps you did it for the thrill

My voice came out in a shrill

I watched as you took the pill

Drained out of your last will.

Looking lost and standing still

Those were your daily drill

Smiling from your window sill

Your hands went in for a kill.

The heart that I tried to fill

Now bleeding red in crimson spill

Followed by a deadly chill

As things went quite downhill.

okay so either sam is back in the original archives world or he's in another post-fears world, and either the gamble of purging the fears to another world didn't work, or some of them slipped back through with sam. either way, these places are fucked, and the whole point of jon's decision is kind of defeated.

that sucks.
