randomly decided to reread and why is this so good lmao

We are multiple and fragmented, consisting of any number of conflicting beliefs, desires, fears, anxieties, and intentions.
As we grow up, we internalize through language the ideological conflicts and contradictions of our culture, each finding a way to “fit in” by finding a way to deny, both to ourselves and others, the fragmented experience of ourselves produced by the ambiguous language within which we live.

for school/ focused on deconstruction but some notes:

Language disseminates; infinite number of possible meanings; no center to our understanding of existence.

Language is constantly overflowing with implications, associations, and contradictions that reflect the implications, associations, and contradictions of the ideologies of which it is formed.

We exist within the language into which we were born into.

Thus strangely are our souls constructed, and by such slight ligaments are we bound to prosperity or ruin.

rereading in honor of luca guadagnino's adaptation!

“Any advantage of experience I might have evaporates the minute you touch me, Suraira.” His voice was firm. “Since it seems I have been less than clear: the advantage is yours. You unravel me utterly.”

no one asked ☹️☹️

We fought for years. Centuries. Reality passed around us, but it could not penetrate through us. In a space separate from time, our swords clashed with the music of a ballad. Our bodies moved around each other like stars voyaging across the night, permanently aligned. Not a single drop of blood was shed, because the truth was the mightiest force between us: the next time we aimed to hurt the other, it would be real.

He was the single most beautiful thing I had ever laid hands upon, and I was not good at treating the beautiful things in my life gently.

He would give anything to reach inside his chest and tear out the rot of her. To close his eyes without seeing her face.

But I hope, even more, that Joan Goodwin can convince you to go outside tonight, after the stars have come out, and look up. I hope, with all my heart, Joan can convince you to be open to wonder.

“Why wouldn’t everyone like you?”
Maybe because I have nothing of value to offer? Because I care too much about my appearance, and I overthink everything, and I can be annoying and dumb and indecisive, and I don’t have the slightest clue what I’m doing with my life? Because I have no personality outside of my flaws?

okay

Not when my current summer schedule mostly involves me crawling out of bed at noon, making myself spicy ramen for breakfast at lunchtime, and watching celebrity documentaries to avoid my looming college application deadlines.

oh

happy love island day to those who celebrate 🏝️
