i am aware that this piece of mine has been re-posted a thousand times, but now you can re-blog it from the original artist! :~D

edit: since people asked you can now get a print of this here!

okay but I did not know that there is a story about f. scott fitzgerald nervously showing ernest hemingway his penis because zelda said he couldn’t satisfy a woman with it and ernest hemingway was like “lol no dude you’re fine”

what are the modernists even

[seagodofmagic]

the best part of that story in context is that before they pull out their dicks, hemingway spends the better part of a chapter physically describing fitzgerald in great detail, claiming to be grossed out by him but obviously, obviously uncomfortably attracted

[veliseraptor]

oh my god, it got better. I just went to find an excerpt and

Scott was a man then who looked like a boy with a face between handsome and pretty. He had very fair wavy hair, a high forehead, excited and friendly eyes and a delicate long-lipped Irish mouth that, on a girl, would have been the mouth of a beauty. His chin was well built and he had good ears and a handsome, almost beautiful, unmarked nose. This should not have added up to a pretty face, but that came from the coloring, the very fair hair and the mouth. The mouth worried you until you knew him and then it worried you more.

ernest hemingway calm down and control your thirst a little

“The mouth worried you until you knew him and then it worried you more“ is a hell of a line

Jane Austen really said ‘I respect the “I can fix him” movement but that’s just not me. He’ll fix himself if knows what’s good for him’ and that’s why her works are still calling the shots today.

JUDE LAW The Holiday (2006)

[b1rdonawire]

college is like. i am the stupidest person in the world. i am a god. i am universally loved. these people only tolerate me because they live with me. everyone in this library desires me carnally. i am repulsive. i am myself. i am as far from myself as i have ever been. i am an adult and i have never left the womb. 

[b1rdonawire]

i am trying to make myself a new person. all i want to be is my old self. high schoolers on college tours find me mysterious and mature. i am a bumbling fool. i am marketable. i am only here to learn. i can make this place my home. the idea of having a home besides the one i grew up in makes me sick. i was admitted for a reason. they actually sent my rejection letter to the wrong person. i am always growing but hopelessly stagnant.
