[“When I used to teach creative writing, I would tell the students to make their characters want something right away—even if it’s only a glass of water. Characters paralyzed by the meaningless of modern life still have to drink water from time to time. One of my students wrote a story about a nun who got a piece of dental floss stuck between her lower left molars, and who couldn’t get it out all day long. I thought that was wonderful. The story dealt with issues a lot more important than dental floss, but what kept readers going was anxiety about when the dental floss would finally be removed. Nobody could read that story without fishing around in his mouth with a finger. Now, there’s an admirable practical joke for you. When you exclude plot, when you exclude anyone’s wanting anything, you exclude the reader, which is a mean-spirited thing to do.”]

i love reading sad books bc when your own grief is stopped up inside you like a clogged drain you can grieve for a character on a page and understand that you're also grieving for yourself a little bit

petrichara

‘There is a theory that watching unbearable stories about other people lost in grief and rage is good for you—may cleanse you of your darkness. Do you want to go down to the pits of yourself all alone? Not much. What if an actor could do it for you? Isn’t that why they are called actors? They act for you. You sacrifice them to action. And this sacrifice is a mode of deepest intimacy of you with your own life. Within it you watch [yourself] act out the present or possible organization of your nature. You can be aware of your own awareness of this nature as you never are at the moment of experience. The actor, by reiterating you, sacrifices a moment of his own life in order to give you a story of yours.’

-Anne Carson, ‘Grief Lessons: Four Plays By Euripides’

oh-good

the saddest thing about the winter soldier is the fact that bucky is perfectly calm when surrounded by people ready to kill him but seems completely terrified when faced with one person refusing to hurt him

his face around hydra agents he knows are completely ready to shoot him

his face when he knows steve wont hurt him

Some more Captive Prince quotes because... Laurent. 🥰

Hands down, the funniest scene and the first time we see Laurent completey drop his guard in front of Damen:

Love these observations about Laurent:

Not everyone has Damen's perception 🤣:

Let's not forget Laurent's clever tongue and dry wit:

Last but not least, the enjoyment of Damen hate-lusting after Laurent is just the best thing ever:

there's a point where you can't not love laurent bc he learned how to do a magic trick with a coin and thought well i know no one cares to listen to me about my interests anymore but Maybe. hear me out. maybe, my beloathed sworn enemy damianos of akielos, whom i hate, will actually find amusement and joy in this magic coin trick. If i show him. and then he did the trick wrong.

Something fun about Damen is when you realize that he's not being overconfident at all when he thinks he can do things like fighting four men with his hands tied behind his back. He is in fact exactly that hard to take down. If you fight him you will lose, badly.

Number of times people have tried to kill Damen:

Kastor- three times

Laurent- once (though he thought of it many times)

Nikandros- zero (though I'm sure he thought of it many times)

Auguste- once (terribly unsuccessfully, RIP 💙)

The Regent- at least four times

Some Vaskian men who laid hands on Laurent- once (the risk they took was calculated but man are they bad at math)

Armies of soldiers- too many times to count

I feel like all the Akielon nobles who supported Kastor were probably hoping he was dead too, and then he showed back up like
