ok maybe people have talked about this before but what if the book from bsd is supposed to parallel the book from 1984? in british literature class, we just started reading 1984, and upon reading the first chapter, i noticed some similarities between the two books (spoiler alert for bsd and 1984)

the most obvious thing is that both books have no name, both just referred to as "the book"

another similarity is that both books have the power, or goal, to change humanity/society because of the people who have/want possession of it. in 1984, the brotherhood is writing the book to break down or change the oceania society. in bsd, fyodor and the decay of angels want to write in the book to change humanity to something better

also 1984 is a british book, and the british have a bit of great significance in the bsd universe (as seen in stormbringer, 55 minutes, and dead apple)

anyway yeah i just made that connection while reading 1984 and thought it was interesting :P

Julia would definitely listen to "Him & I" by Halsey while thinking about Winston

Oh my gODs

Audible's 1984 recording with Andrew Garfield

Holy shit

Holy shit

I'm five minutes in and it's the best adaptation I have heard...??

I feel like I'm in Winston's head... Staring at 1984s world...and listening to his inner thoughts...

Best adaptation I've heard.. screen or novel or graphic novel

It's so good

It's not like the having the book read to you

it's a dramatisation, more like listening to a film without seeing the visuals

We'll see if this lasts but presently

10/10, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

...my only complaint currently, some of the voice actors are American, or sound like faked Brit accents when 1984 is set in Air Strip One, aka, London..

please does know "1984! the musical!"? it's an Australian musical and it's a REALLY GOOD and funny adapt of 1984 I've been obsessed with it since I found it last year and I NEED to tell more people about it please it's so good it's driving me insane Charrington is in drag, Winston is even more pathetic than the book and O'Brien is so baby girl who literally laughs like "ho ho ho"

i thought if anyone else knew it they would be on tumblr if you see this and haven't listened to it yet PLEASE DO IT ITS SO GOOD

Do you think Winston would like to play DnD?

Interesting question…

He enjoyed coming up with the character of Ogilvy while working for the Ministry of Truth, priding himself on the structure of the story. He’s also fascinated by the past, so he would probably enjoy the historical setting of many DND games. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he (theoretically) would want to be a dungeon master, since it would give him a sense of control he never had before with regard to the way in which events play out. He would be writing history, benevolently. He would get the chance to “tear things apart and put them back together into shapes of his own choosing.”

There is just something so 1984 about talking with your family about 1984, only to get a YouTube ad for it.

I'm currently reading Julia (the 2023 retelling from Julia's perspective) and it's AWESOME

He’s the best ghostbuster because he can get these three under moderate control.

Se o amor de Julia e Winston era um ato de rebelião contra o Partido, o fato deles se traírem no quarto 101 e ocasionalmente se separarem por conta disso, mostra que a rebelião falhou, acabou, e por isso o casal não ficou junto

P.S: isso é ainda mais claro com o final do livro e o ponto em que o Winston chegou de lavagem cerebral
