“I decided to leave a tampon behind ... I hid it at the very back of the bottom drawer, where it would be difficult to find. That really turned me on. The fact that a tampon of mine was stashed away in his desk drawer. Maybe it was because I was so turned on that my period started almost immediately after that.”

i see where murakami gets his reputation for writing women. yes that's exactly how periods work ✅

turns out men without women are mostly busy obsessing about women. these stories would not pass the reverse bechdel test

you know you're a red flag when the character you relate to the most is arianrhod

the last book in the quartet, the island of the mighty, was originally called the virgin and the sow. and yes so far it is exactly as fucked up as you might infer from that name

new goodreads logo thanks i hate it

the song of rhiannon is just so lovely

wow.
the children of llyr are crazy.
but in a way that at least makes for a good tragedy.

oh my god oh my god oh my god
what the fuck
wow

the first branch, the prince of annwn, felt a bit like a child's bedtime story, like the hobbit but with more women/sex. the second branch, the children of llyr, is a political tragedy slowly marching towards inexorable doom.

loving it all so far. walton's prose are pure pleasure to read, and she has a distinctly ~70s hippie/divine feminine ideological overtone which i enjoy, even if i don't subscribe to it myself

the sapphic is sapphic-ing which makes a lot more sense now that i know that this book is actually fiction lol

Would recommend to any foodie + anyone interested in Japanese colonialism pre-WWII

just read this sentence:

‘A while ago I built a “sexual consent on the blockchain” app (a use case so obvious I’m shocked I got to it first!)’

friend i laughed actual tears 😭 tony stopp 🛑✋

MY EYES

the sentence fragment situation has not improved 👎

half of this book is composed of sentence fragments and it’s making me angry. but we go on (… maybe)

on p.36 of 379: “Eli was entranced. Her servant. Spellbound. He considered begging her to let him touch her. To let him go down on her here in the hallway.”

…sir this is a wendy’s

how is it that every emily henry novel can feel like it was written just for you? like she just peeled you wide open and told you all the broken pieces were okay, you were still good enough

i. love you. emily henry. that’s all

q: why did i wait so long to start reading simone de beauvoir?
a: because i’m an idiot. if you’re reading this then you should stop what you’re doing and start reading simone, you won’t regret it <3

update because i just read the best quote that ever existed:

on all sides the sluttishness of weak human men seethed in a long sigh of terror

hot fucking damn

yup put faulkner on the list with italo calvino

well guess that’s just one more for the list of dead literary men for whom i’d consider necrophilia

somebody please tell ithan to think a single thought that isn’t about his former sunball glory days pls i beg

my god i cannot believe i just read these words in a (spoilers for chapter 4) torture scene

“Oblivion beckoned, a sweet release Hunt had come to crave as much as Bryce’s body entwined with his. He pretended, sometimes, that when he fell into the blackness, he was falling into her arms, into her sweet, tight heat.”

dyingggg
