i just read the metamorphosis and it was fucking devastating. there are so many readings you could take, ive heard people say kafka intended it to be about depression which is something that he struggled with and i heavily fw the trans reading, but personally i primarily read it as being about disability. gregor wakes up one day physically unable to work and his family reacts with not only shock but disgust and horror. it's not even that THEY now have to work where they didn't before; we see at the end of the story that working doesn't really bother them. it's about his presence in their house. now that he's disabled and can't work, they dehumanize him completely, even denying that it's him at all. they act like having to take care of him is this horrible act of sacrifice they're performing - and they don't even actually take care of him, they leave him alone all day no matter how badly he wants company, they don't clean his room and instead let him live in filth (in fact they put their junk in there making it more of a mess), they throw things at him injuring him further, and they don't feed him properly to the point where he dies of malnutrition.

to me the saddest part was when grete said (not verbatim) "if it were truly gregor then he would've known it was impossible for us to live with a thing like that, and left already." bc fuck man. yeah of course gregor just gave up and died after that. how could he go on. his sister used to love him more than anyone else. is it the worst and most selfish thing in the world to want to be cared for by your own family.

The Angel of Death

FISTS YOU

And then you Die

[viohra]

Context: my teacher translated the verb “to grasp with one’s hand” as “to fist” since that’s kinda what it literally means, but you can’t translate it like that into English because “to fist” means something ENTIRELY different, but she doesn’t know that.

So she was explaining how they use the verb to describe the angel of death taking your soul — he rips your soul out of you with his fist. Now that’s pretty damn metal, but she said word for word “the angel of death fists you, and then you die” which is the single most terrifying and powerful sentence to ever grace my ears

Op i appreciate the context but i was going to rb anyway no questions asked

[feralmode]

neil is an unreliable narrator because everything gets filtered through his exy obsession and warped by his life experiences, jean is an unreliable narrator because he lies to himself and also is just wrong sometimes, jeremy is an unreliable narrator because he never tells us what he thinks or feels about anything. we haven’t gotten kevin’s pov yet but he will be an unreliable narrator for all these reasons and more

[dustisus]

the trifecta

[carfuckerlynch]

hey does anyone have that poem. about the author seeing two boys cuddling on a hotel lobby couch, where he refers to it as something like an island of safe anonymity or smth. its been 5000 years my college boyfriend had it written out and pinned to his wall

[carfuckerlynch]

THANK YOU @witchoflight it is indeed "on traveling together" by Kayleb Rae Candrilli

[dykekarkat]

sometimes i think about how neil probably went days without speaking to another human being before becoming a guy who literally couldn't keep his mouth shut if his life depended on it in contrast to an andrew who literally couldn't shut up bcus of the meds before returning to his normal state of 'i speak to 3 people and one of them is my therapist' and its just like wow. andreil.

AITA for realizing that my best friend is actually a ghost and not telling him because i'm worried that if he realizes he's dead he'll finally be able to accept it and fully pass on and i won't be able to hang out with him anymore?

[valtsv]

AITA if i've been dead for a while but haven't told my best friend yet because he doesn't seem to have realized i'm a ghost and if he does i'm worried that he'll finally be able to accept it and let me go and i can't bear the thought of losing him?

[mapswithoutwyoming]

AITA for killing that guy

[twinyardz]

TKM is one of the funniest aftg books because neil is actively getting hunted for sport the entire time and instead of caring about that he’s just meddling in other people’s lives and playing therapist for 400 pages: telling kevin to start living for himself & and forcing the twins to go to therapy together & passing jean’s number on to renee so that she can talk to him. and it WORKS too. the field of psychology lost its best mind when neil decided to go pro w/ exy
