reading and watching “classic” books and films is such an interesting experience because, before you get into them, when you only know them by name and maybe the vaguest plot outline, they’re intimidating and stuffy and up on a pedestal, but then you finally take the leap and check them out and realize that almost every story that’s achieved such a legendary level of popularity did so because something in its emotional core reached out and grabbed a lot of people by the throat and you are NOT immune.

#ok reblogging this again because #A. i need to tag the person in the fucking dumas fan server #and two:#this was the metamorphosis (blorbo from highschool english class #where i felt like i was the only guy in the room who Understood what the book was about #and could deeply relate to the feelings of sudden othering and isolation) and #frakenstien (book so good i read it twice by my own choice) to me #(with a special shoutout to monte cristo because it was just THAT fucking good #i genuinely consider rereading that long ass book bc it was just that good. also nods at the person #im tagging. you understand. anyways)
