#moby dick lb

[ripplesinthesand]

moby dick is a really fun read because a good chunk of the chapters are ishmael being like hey there let me tell you about whales! and then he goes on for a few pages about some minute whaling detail, types of rope they use, whale anatomy, etc., and you're reading along like well this is interesting i guess, nice to learn something new! and then without warning in the last three paragraphs of the chapter he hits you with some sort of philosophical idea that makes you feel like you've been punched in the face. you put the book down. stare into space for a while. pick it up again. repeat for several chapters in a row.

[llycaons]

the thing is every single line of moby dick is so rich with imagery and metaphor and such, and the lines are so long and elaborate, that if I was reading it in person it would still take me a while but since I'm listening to the audiobook I need to rewind and listen to the same passages sometimes twice or three times to really get what Melville's saying. and I'm coming to this book RIGHT from anna karenina with a brief podcast break, it's not like I'm out of practice in parsing dense prose. moby dick is just like that. no wonder it's a classic of english literature, even tho the subject matter is so...non-universal

[intertexts]

genuinely interested in whatever conversation has to be happening btwn black sails & moby dick. however i don't remember moby dick well enough to have anything 2 say about it. "but roswell why do you say they have to be in conversation" black sails is a nautical vengeance tragedy about grief and overarching fate and the nature of storytelling and also like, current social issues.

Along with ice cream, Postum, blazing hot chilly, spaghetti, and cheese, Lovecraft loved coffee. He dumped spoonful after spoonful of sugar in each cup. HPL's poor diet has been blamed by some for his stomach cancer and untimely death at 46. Though Lovecraft kept a slim frame for most of his adult life, at 5'11" and 145 lbs he may have taken the aesthetic-look a little too far? Shown below is a cup displaying the Starbucks logo. This logo represents a stylized mermaid sporting 2 tails and a crown. Could we joke that she is perhaps a member of the 'Deep Ones', maybe even, 'Mother Hydra', spouse of Dagon? Mother Hydra is only mentioned very briefly in Lovecraft's tales - in fact only once that I have ever seen. Starbuck is also the name of a character from the famed novel, MOBY DICK. Well, even considering in inflation we can hardly imagine that Lovecraft - who was dirt poor for most of his adult life - could have afforded to buy coffee at a vender like Starbucks. (Exhibit 503)

[ripplesinthesand]

this melville guy is pretty good.

[llycaons]

Ishmael frequently refers to the relationships between men in terms normally used to describe heterosexual romantic relationships. What is the literal and symbolic importance of homoeroticism in Moby-Dick?

Ishmael and Queequeg are depicted in bed together several times and are frequently described as “married” or “wedded” to each other. When they wake in the Spouter-Inn, Queequeg has his arms around Ishmael in a seemingly conjugal embrace. Melville uses the vocabulary of love and marriage to suggest the strength and closeness of the bonds between men at sea.

hmmmm

[skin-bible]

The whale opinions and spoilers I'm pretty sure has been said before but im not gonna look due to fear of finding thin$po blogs

To start I bounce between 220 and 230 so I'm not "fat fat" but im still overweight, and I have fat loved ones that I'm still listening to their experience experience

Casper didn't watch it with me because he was afraid it'd be triggering- and I'd say it would be.

Everything is shot inside the main characters apartment, Charlie. The main thing I want to point out is how people treated Charlie. He's towering tall and roughly 500+ lbs. He constantly apologized just for existing in his own space, to the point his nurse and friend, named Liz, kept getting onto Charlie for saying "Im Sorry" so much. He constantly shrinks back, and let people yell at him, going as far as blatantly calling him "Disgusting," from his daughter to a Christian missionary who was trying to "save his soul" because his body was basically damned. The fatphobia that he experiences in his own apartment was abhorrent, but that's what fat people experience on a daily basis. And Charlie claims he's never been skinny a day in his life.

Charlie was what's called being passively suicidal. He "let himself go," for example, by ordering 2 large pizzas per night just as dinner. When he was feeling any void or fed up with peoples fakeness, he would binge eat to the point of vomiting. Even after he was told he would not survive the weekend unless he went to the hospital, despite ending up having the money to do so, but he also outright refused most medical care (except a wheelchair, then an oxygen mask on his final day). Instead, he filled the hole by binge eating.

He did this because he lost the love of his life. He found out he was gay and got a divorce from his wife, who took full custody of their daughter despite his protests of still wanting to be in their life. The wife's excuse was "Do you know how hard it is to tell people you left me for a man?" The boyfriends name was Alan, who had killed himself due to religious trauma for being gay. And the missionary I mentioned earlier? He told Charlie that his soul could still be saved if he forsakes the love he still had for Alan in order for his body to become light and reach the kingdom of heaven. Which, Charlie stood his ground in remaining faithful to Alan in which the missionary calls him disgusting and leaves to return to his hometown (he has a backstory to leaving his hometown and going on mission work but, I couldn't care less to relay it).

So tack on homophobia along with fatphobia.

His daughter was chaotic, and was a mess because of her mom insisting she's pure evil; going as far as showing Charlie her distasteful Facebook post about how "there's going to be a greasefire in hell when he burns". But Charlie only saw the positive in her, and even held onto her essay about Moby Dick she wrote in 8th grade because he believed it to be the most beautiful essay he's ever read (which, says a lot because he's also a history teacher doing online collage courses with his camera off to save continuous ridicule until his final day where he asked everyone to write something true, which prompted himself to be honest with them as well). Every time Charlie thought he was going to die (due to cardiac issues with being overweight) he would either try to read it or ask to be read in his final moments. But you don't know who's essay it was until the very end (or, supposed to not know).

Which, he gets what he wanted. He finally got to spend some time with his daughter (although she fought him every step of the way), he loads her up with the $120,000 he saved for her the entire time he wasn't allowed to talk to her, and she read him the essay in his final moments breathing.

I'm putting it blunt because the ending still makes me cry, but yeah he dies.

I'm writing this because I'm off my meds and it's still making me cry. 8 hours, and 3 extra movies later. It's truly tragic, devastating, soul crushing, and sorrowful. My man Charlie is getting fucked in every way possible and he still only saw the good in people no matter how ugly they were with him.
