yessss exploding ppls brains with middlemarch as eliot intended

drawing of figure skater Alysa Liu, with the outfit she wore to win olympic gold in 2026, filled with joy, skating

bliss

yes agreed! and our local rink is the same so i’m like do i brave it?? for my tiny ice princess??

i think most of the us would explode

performative people listen the fuck up

god forbid a cute, innocent, sweet girl also be a deranged, pervert

this household is obsessed with alyssa liu

doesn’t seem like it which is hilarious in a sort of dry way

“I like that era”
“I’ve seen the movie but hadn’t read the book”

my dad on why he took my dorian gray

so basically, he wanted to read the book so he started reading it and took it with him home to finish it

Alysa Liu: "THAT'S WHAT I'M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT" 🗣️

you will love middlemarch the sarcasm is so top notch and the way she weaves a story is unlike anything i’ve ever read, the parallels are paralleling

yea shes edging me with the moral decline of wishing husbands dead

AK is so good too they belong next to each other on a shelf, girlfriend books

Kylo ren putting a picture of Rey with a heart on his desk

Domino meme. little domino says "st. valentine dying in 270". big domino says "I find you still rffa"

what an amazing time to be alive. 2026 the year of reylo returns!!! rffa fic thread

so true i’ve been rooting for this one’s death the minute i met him though

middlemarch! it’s so good i want life to be put on hold so i can read it in one sitting

george elliot wants her readers to face their own moral compass head on and i do so gladly when i say fully with my chest that i hope this girl’s husband diesssss

i keep not asking my dad why he took my dorian gray but i remain curious so maybe i let this be one of life’s mysteries

george elliot writes so well why wasn’t i taught any of her books wtf

Angel gives Dru a real heart Buffy the Vampire Slayer scene

Happy Valentine's Day! 🖤

A cat standing on a love note inside a heart shape

If you’re reading this, you’re automatically my valentine no take backsies 💗

this narrator keeps just shining a light on the dark corners of the brain

pride only helps us to be generous; it never makes us so, any more than vanity makes us witty

ending chapters with
a banger line about
human nature

it is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view

it also must be eaten right away otherwise it doesn’t taste very good, like even if by the end of the movie you haven’t finished you throw it out

george eliot on pride

late stage capitalism is making me judgmental

it’s such an uncomfortable feeling! and then i end up doom scrolling cause it requires no effort but it drains my mood

yesss and it’s like i want the stories but i can’t pay attention to them so the words don’t settle in my brain they just float away like im reading air

that feeling when the way you relax is reading but you sit in your bed after a long day and can’t read
