24-year-old elliot page convincing alia shawkat to throw a party for the sole purpose of having somewhere to invite the woman he was trying to woo 😭😭😭 lmao

As stunningly perfect as the first time.

This comic is so uninteresting to me tbh but I'm committed to it as a professional homosexual

"One day I decided my body was not a tragedy. On that day I knew I would live forever."

ok it was a transliteration, line-by-line translation, and commentary of the Pennsylvania and Yale tablets from Babylonian by Albert T. Clay and Morris Jastrow Jr with very fun notes about the twin-ism of Gilgamesh & Enkidu

oh goodreads does NOT support me adding two editions of The Epic of Gilgamesh to my "currently reading" simultaneously. admin note to self that I am starting Xist Publishing's Epic of Gilgamesh (978-1-62395-941-8) on hoopla, which does not appear to be a translation of the poem but we'll see

"'O my brother, so dear as you are to me, brother, yet they will take me from you. I must sit down on the threshold of the dead and never again will I see my dear brother with my eyes.'" what the fuck "So Gilgamesh laid a veil, as one veils the bride, over his friend." what the fuck

these unhinged aesthetes and one pitiful homosessuale

you, who crawled from the wreck of summer like sons from their mothers’ bodies

“sometimes, when i am careless, i believe the wound is also the place where the skin reencounters itself, asking of each end, ‘where have you been?’”

“what do you call the animal that, finding the hunter, offers itself to be eaten? a martyr? a weakling? no. a beast gaining the rare agency to stop.”

“Your hands are hideous, and I hate everything that made them that way. They are the wreck and reckoning of a dream.”

This translation (NK Sandars 1960) SPEEDS through the first four tablets but is SO romantic. ‘Mother, last night I had a dream. I was full of joy, and I walked through the night under the stars of the firmament, and a meteor fell down from heaven.' ‘This star of heaven which descended like a meteor from the sky; when you see him you will be glad; you will love him as a woman and he will never forsake you.' whatthefuc

“You’re a mother, Ma. You’re also a monster. But so am I. Which is why I can’t turn away from you. Which is why I have taken God’s loneliest creation and put you inside it. Look.”

screeeeeeaaaaaaaaam

“‘You’re not a monster,’ I said. But I lied. What really wanted to say is that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be.”

aaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!!!

I had dragged my feet listening to this because Ocean Vuong reads it in that voice poets so often use when reading their own writing. But I got over it and am about 20 min in. It is so, so beautiful, and love is so complicated!!!! I did forget it was fiction and not autobio. (Does this mean OV’s not 5’4”?) “I’m not a monster. I’m a mother.” aaaaargh!!

A CAT THE SIZE OF A DEER, WITH HANDS LIKE A PERSON

incredible how I absolutely hate the prose in this book. always, so many words to say so little. SORRY TO BE A HATER

Against all odds, even hornier than the film adaptation Dorian Gray (2009).

Already having the same experience of this book as I had with the first, which is that some of the characters (Bryde) are SO boring.

ronan is opal’s absentee father. the forest got custody and ronan never visits. one day opal’s going to realize ronan only came by when he needed something. poor girl. /i/ love you
