alexandre dumas predicted twitter arguments all the way back in the 1800s bc my boy albert is about to get himself killed over a news article that made him so mad but he didn't bother factchecking nooooo

flying through this now omg. and i just discovered the lesbians #win

albert de morcerf is GAY alexandre dumas actually just told me so guys

GIRL I'M STILL SCARED

natasha made this one scary!!! wtf!!

omg it's already so good...

i think the revenge is just about to start. but ill be sad if my favorite dandy character gets killed about it

when does the revenge happen. edmond is smoking weed with a guy in his monte cristo cave rn

i'm engaged i'm engrossed and i'm also gagged. having a great time! wish i knew anything about napoleon before going in here though he's more integral to the plot than i ever expected

who am i as a person if i'm not constantly getting weirdly interested in a tragic historical niche

honestly its pretty camp so far and im really liking it :'D

WHAT!!!!!! :D

LALALA. AND ALSO YAY. adam rubenstein the character you are....

i wanted a book that would make me go "lalala yay" and im not gonna pretend i want anything else out of this yaoiliterature experience

hashtag my niche!!!

man, they were 21 and doing all this bullshit... when i was 21 i was stuck at home quarantining and watching house hunter international reruns until the sun came up

halfway through this damn book and theyve only just gotten to their first class at magic school. i have a headache

in this exciting world where greek gods are real, if you chew a magic gumball a guy will climb through your window on the 7th floor and help u with ur homework. dont ask me what myth that's related to. thank you tracy wolff <3

what they did to bunny is so fucked up you guys im serious. my first readthru i was sympathetic to richard and really got lost in his perspective, but it's so striking to me now how fucking scary the greek class is

sorry for having a surface level engagement with the text but bunny and richard have so many parallels it's really striking me this time around. also lmfao richards fav book is the great gatsby and he "relates to gatsby" girl you are NICK (smacking him over the head)

the concept of bunny casually mentioning he bought a pink bathing suit with flowers on it for his trip to jamaica. in the same damn scene he’s making homophobic jokes about the waiter. while he’s dining alone with richard AND drinking a cocktail with a little umbrella in it

im listening to the audiobook and its driving me crazy because im noticing so many things on this reread and i can't annotate like i want to. just some really delightful foreshadowing!! richard talking abt how he would have joined a cult in california- then does just that in hampden. julian saying his students are boring bc he knows exactly what they will do- he's culpable. his influence over henry is v scary, too!!

im back in the fucking building !!

my boy siegfried got offered a job in the british intelligence service and wrote them back a rejection letter saying that his only qualification for the job was having been shot in the head. now hes joining the socialist movement. what a guy

i neeeeeed to have a beer with this guy

i'm trying but god damn, short stories are still not working out for me

like 20 pages in and already i've got my socks blown off

i finished this two days ago and am writing my review + i need you all to know that it's approaching 2k words

words cant even describe my loathing for this book

gansey is about to kill himself and im at work this is SICK and TWISTED
