i need you to stop trying to formulate lines that tumblr users think go hard and start trying to talk to me with the function of communication in mind

baroque period: look out ‼️‼️ stupid wig likely

classical period: use caution…possibility of wig

romantic period: SAFE. wig-free zone

could NOT be me deciding to be too much of a snob to enjoy vivaldi. why r u robbing yourself of joy lol

later i saw a post on reddit that said “the difference between baroque and classical music is whether it was composed by someone wearing a stupid wig”

when i was at the symphony for the first time as an adult last year the guy i was sitting next to was heavily implying that baroque music is for unsophisticated rubes and i was like hmm 😐 how many of these concerts can i go to before i turn out like this miserable prick

i just think if i had to live in a high context culture i’d hurl myself off a bridge within the first week

sometimes a man will come to visit you and your family and hang around in your living room until all your other guests have left so that he can sit there drinking tea near you while your dad goes 👁️👁️ at him. this is flirting

reading fanny burney’s diary. what i’ve learned so far is that because single men and women were not really allowed to be left alone together, if they wanted to talk one-on-one sometimes there’d be a random third wheel in the room just hanging out at a respectful distance. i want to talk to charles the merchant about his business but we might start planning our elopement if no one’s there to watch so another party guest neither of us knows that well has to awkwardly sit nearby. and he can’t leave until someone else comes in. he can’t leave! he’s trapped! this is tragic, but through a lens of social comedy it’s also very very funny

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

"The Vampire Lestat" is a wild read about the penniless youngest son of land-rich bankrupt aristocracy struggling to make his own way under the oppressive thumb of his abusive father and brothers. After being enchanted by the return of a childhood friend with tales of the bright lights big city, he runs away from home to become an actor.

AND THEN the genre changes from a historical fiction to a gothic horror. Rapidly and without warning. Slaps you in the face. Local man having the wildest six months that it is possible to have in France. The revolution happens during the time frame of the plot but so much wild shit is happening that it barely gets a sentence. Highly recommend.

The human mind is incredible. Some of you are capable of seeing the Beatles as sexual beings
