i’m just so fascinated by how 2010 it is. talking about your heart as a muscle, your bitch of a mother and how you’re nothing like her, cuteness aggression

it’s crazy how the author knows like abjectly feminist things to say, the book keeps being like okay but actually Her Father is the most important thing and This One Male Gardener. the female clique cult barely has a personality. oh also very obvious the author took the secret history’s preoccupation w greek mythology and sloppily grafted it onto buddhism?? which just comes off as orientalist

fascinating. it’s been years since i’ve read such an obvious cash grab based off of 2010s tumblr quote posts slopped together with a vague idea of what the secret history was
