ach ja. also wenn ein typ versucht, “sich ihrer mit gewalt zu bemächtigen” dann ist das ein zeichen seiner tiefen und reinen leidenschaft und außerdem wollte sie das ja auch und da spielt es gar keine rolle, dass sie „nein“ gesagt hat und weggelaufen ist? und werther ist so fett beeindruckt von diesem kerl, ich kann ihn einfach nicht mehr ernstnehmen

werther is just a sad boy who’s in his feelings quite a lot. schade für ihn.

after the blue train this is now the second time i’ve rooted for the hot love interest who turns out to be the murderer — before and also after the revelation of this. i’m beginning to question the presence of my moral compass?
and also, don’t even get me bloody started on the final chapter! lyn marrying farmcore after he tried to strangle her cause that proved he wasn’t as meek as she thought he was?? wtf

men: ❌
the church: ❌
men of the church: ❌
i’ve made up my mind. that fxcker deserves to hear everything she says in this letter and while i don’t believe it really existed and she sent it,
… a girl can dream …

my astonishment for this woman grows with every page. what is that if not feminism? and how tf could she have been able to predict all the shit the church would go on to do to women in the following centuries (until now, if you ask me) ?? “proud bedpost” should also enter my vocabulary along with “itchy-fingered bedfellow” lol

damn this girl is mad
quote after quote i’ll have to write down and learn by heart until the day comes to make use of them… “i have no faith in such a god” is fire

can’t find my edition but all of them have different page numbers?? confusing

any respect for heathcliff is gone after this entire isabella ordeal. i am beyond it. the pacing is terrible at this point and i have to force myself to continue reading. no character has my sympathy and that makes it a very hard book to read. i also just passed heathcliff calling isabella a slut and going on about the ^dynamics^ of his treatment of her and i think they took this as the starting point for the movie

heathcliff: 🎶backstreet’s back, alright!🎶
catherine: 🎶when did you get hot?🎶
seriously, i am so ready for heathcliffs unhinged revenge cause miss cathy had it coming A MILE AWAY girl youre not ready for whats about to happen. also, charli xcx is playing in my head the entire time and i picture heathcliff as jacob elordi so casting 100% accurate

I never would’ve guessed I’d be so involved in this book, but now I’m actually quite cool with it. Turns out it isn’t as stupid as I thought it was lol

Sabran + Ead = dreamteam best ship forever 💖 also jannart and niclays but one of them is dead and the other one is an asshole so I’m not sure what to think 😭

Jannart has hair until the small of his back wtf

This is guttural, and I love that. I constantly picture cate blanchett as carol but I can’t picture rooney mara as therese, but maybe that’s just because I don’t like her. I can’t really understand Therese’s character, I don’t know why she’s doing certain things, and it’s not explained in the book. That’s the only thing I don’t really like

I feel like I need to read this again, just to appreciate it fully.

Man, this is intense. I really have to think about what it is that makes this book so good. I think I’ll have to read it again after I’ve finished it. I just feel like I didn’t completely catch the vibe. And at some points, I think I was too stupid to understand the plot, but it could’ve been that it was supposed to be written like that so that nobody could understand it. In that case, I feel better now

This was one of the best books I’ve ever read. Period. I don’t even know what to say, I’m so fucking depressed

James can’t die. James x Oliver= my fav ship rn

Damn this is dark academia without question!
- tea (black)
- English English English
- old family heirloom castle turned into boarding school
- kids living alone
- quoting fucking Shakespeare during conversations
- making fun of the kids that only talk to each other in Greek and Latin though
- running through nature and chasing each other
- sundown by the lake
- old full of books classrooms
- chalkboards

Intense. Depressing. Sad. Lively. Mesmerizing. Painful. Disgusting. Beautiful.
Once again, I must applaud. If only I could fucking write like that, all my worries would vanish.

I hate Zoya. And I’m so disappointed that this is how Nikolai was graced with his own books. He fucking deserved more. And now I’ve read a piece of rule of wolves and I’ve seen that David dies??? how??? can they do that to me???? Like I’m fucking reading that now that I know of this

i love the way that the chapter about gaia is basically a call for help from the earth, and its still relatable today. she says she cant carry all the humans, and is it different today? no, we still cant feed anyone and our entire population is too high. so i loved how it was a subtle hint
