wtf Stefan?! Hör auf mir Macbeth zu spoilern!

what a massive pick me Maria was :/

so far we got long scenes of Sookie getting a haircut, Sookie selling old things of her grandmas house and reveely between 3 bars. The vampires are less important than everyday life?! How boring is that?!

[...]wie bei jedem Schwächling ist bei Darnley
die Triebfeder aller seiner Handlungen unbefriedigte
Eitelkeit. Und zu viel Macht ist an Rizzio gefallen, als
dass der gestürzte Darnley seinem einstigen Freunde
nicht neidisch grollen sollte.[...] Wie Feuer schießt ihm die Wut in die Sinne, wie ein Stier stürzt er auf dies vorgehaltene rote Tuch und rennt damit blindwütig in das aufgezäumte Komplott.

Der Geheim-sekretär Maria Stuarts, Raulet, hatte sich nicht sehr widerstandsfähig gezeigt gegen die am schottischen Hofe epidemische Krankheit: gegen die englische Bestechung. Und kurzerhand musste ihn die Königin aus ihrem Dienst entlassen.

// Ich liebe es wie Zweig die Geschehnisse mit Hohn, Witz und eigener Interpretation kommentiert.

Und schon greift die Politik nach ihrem Körper, nach ihrer ahnungslosen Seele. Denn das ist Maria Stuarts Verhängnis, ewig gebannt zu sein in dieses rechnerische Spiel. Nie wird ihr gegönnt sein, ihr Selbst unbekümmert auszuwirken, immer wird sie verstrickt bleiben in Politik, Objekt der Diplomatie, Spielball fremder Wün-sche, immer nur Königin, Kronanwärterin, Verbündete oder Feindin.

Hugo slips in such funny lines intobsuch a sad, enfuriating and tragic story XD

Just remembered that Disney made Esmeralda marry Phoebus 🤮☠️

The plot of this makes me so mad that I want to rant to somebody about it but then again I don't even want to talk about it. Sometimes I feel like I'm reading a greek tragedy, but make it longer. Everything is just so shitty and sad.
As if I needed a reminder that most humans are inherently sadistic and it is only through education and modern social construcs that this tendency can be tamed (most of the time)

Just read the chapter "The Story of a Wheaten Cake" ...
I was on the bus and had to take a break and close my eyes as not to let tears fall. The story of Paquette, her little baby girl and 4yo Quasimodo is devastating and I know the next chapters will be just the same :(
Also the amount of disgusting racism, sexism and all kinds of other -isms and phobia is overwhelming.

I love how the clergy is trembling from fear of the printing press. Oh no! Our mindfuckery of the population is going to end!
hahahahaha GET FUCKED! THE ENLIGHTMENT IS COMING!
I wonder if this is the main theme of this novel. I still haven't grasped it fully.

My pet peeve is that I dislike detailed descriptions of buildings or rooms in a story, just say "it was luxurious room full of antique gilded furniture" thats all I need and I generate a room in my head. I dont need more really...
So, I am definitely skipping chapter "The Cathedral.of Notre-Dane" and "A Bird's Eye View of Paris" : >

If we had leisure to examine one by one, with the reader, the traces of destruction imprinted on this ancient church.
//noooooo

Men do anything but think rational when it come to their ego. Esmeralda should've let them hang Gringoire. Now he thinks he can act like her husband?! He does nor only have no money but als no shame and no brains, only his male ego. As if such a woman would delightfully take you! You loser!

The pitcher broke in four pieces
'Brother,'said the Duke of Egypt, laying his hands upon their foreheads, 'she is thy wife - sister, he is thy husband - for four years. Go your ways.'
// I like the concept of temporary marriage. A Marriage with set time limit and everytime it is over the couple can decide if they sign the marriage again or simply go their own way. We should establish it in the modern society.

I love Djali <3

so much yapping 😒
Like why do we need to sit throught a war summit of not so United Nations of Prythian IN REAL TIME?!
Also I'm tired of characters willingly endangering or sacrificing their life for Feyra and Rhysand being a yes sayer to her at all times -_-

Call me delusional, but to me the beginning of this book feels like the beginning of "The Fellowship of The Ring". The way Hugo tells us about the common population of Paris and proceeds to explain the upper classes, their titles and their standing in the society as well as their personalities reminds me of Tolkien introducing us to Hobbits and the Shire. They also have a similar humorous undertones :)

"The devil take you!" growled Maitre Andry
"Maitre Andry" said Jehan, still hanging by the capital, "hold your tongue, or I'll drop on your head." Maître Andry looked up, seemed to callculate for a square of a moment the height of the pillar and thee weight of the little rogue, multiplied in his mind that height by the square of the velocity, and was silent.

//haha I didn't expect it to have my style of comedy.

Ai und Yun Tianming sind als einzigen auf dem blauen Planeten zurück geblieben.
Cheng Xin: "VielLeIcHt HaBeN sIe EiNe ZiViLiSaTiOn GeGrÜnDeT"（〇_ｏ)

// (¬_¬) *sigh*

Und so hat Luo Ji wiedermal die Menschheit gerettet. Ich check nicht wie man einem Menschen wie Cheng Xin die schon mal den Weltuntergang mit ihrem unlogischen Mitgefühl ausgelöst hat, schon wieder das letzte Wort zur Forschung des Krümmungsangtriebs gab. Sie stellt die Forschung ein und zischt ab in den Kälteschlaf um "zu sehen wie die Welt nach dem Dunkler Wald Angriff aussieht". Dein Ernst?! So verantwortunglos!

Listened to 30% today. Continued from last year 50%

Feyra is cooking. Go get them queen!

To be able to describe your opinion/feelings in as few words as possible is an awesome skill. Yapping is dumb.
