I wondered idly if some surgeon of genius might not alter his... @mo-nee-ta - Tumblr Blog

A blog for Lolita and Monster related ramblings (more or less chaotic)

Asks are open! Main blog. Can be NSFW.

I won't write "no minors", because, hey, we know you don't give a flying damn about this and that many people read Lolita as early as in their childhood years.

All I can say is: let's do our best to understand Lolita as well as we can. Operating on vibes and generalities can be dangerous.

Edit: added a masterlist

This blog will discuss topics related to child abuse (any form of child abuse, sexual among them).

MASTERLIST:

Rabbit Nabokov, Ruhenheim’s Konrad and Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin

Bonaparta & "Věra"

The nameless girl who had absolutely nowhere else to go

Let’s talk about Tenma’s mother

The (fictional) girls from Klaus Poppe’s and Humbert Humbert’s pasts

About time, youth, self-reflection and fate in Monster

Monita speedrun

Eva Heinemann and Lolita's Rita

Dieter's and Dolly's fates

The Performance of Truth: Bonaparta’s Artifice in Monster

king charles II, the disposed king of Zembla behavior

The mother in the Red Rose Mansion, the mother in the Les Violettes Pension

Tenma & Humbert Humbert

What if I use a pop-cultural Edo lawman whose hidden sakura tattoo becomes theatrical proof of justice, then invert that image into a modern police conspiracy called Sakura Fubuki-kai, founded around the real unsolved 300 Million Yen Incident i hate this brain

If students have been introduced to Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Lolita by Stanley Kubrick or Adrian Lyne, they are likely to focus on plot, on Lolita’s captivity and abuse. It is always a challenge to steer discussion from students’ identification with characters toward the author’s construction of a work of art. Reading Aleksandr Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin before reading Lolita accentuates the specifically literary aspects of the novel. Students can readily believe that Onegin will be relevant when they heft Nabokov’s translation and commentary and realize that his preparation of it (1950–57) overlapped with his writing of Lolita (1947–54).

this new persona game has weird mechanics is what im trying to say

how it feels to observe a fancy meeting from a distance (can you steal shrimps through the internet?)

id do a reading of the first tlou game through loleeta but talking about this novel (or about its authorship) outside The Consensus TM is exhausting so maybe the way is through a different medium without ever naming nabukov explicitely OHHHH now i get monster

deleted all preinstalled cliches from my system and now am re-reading pale fire. will yeet selected fragments.

I was not yet used to the rather fatiguing jesting and teasing that goes on among American intellectuals of the inbreeding academic type and so abstained from telling John Shade in front of all those grinning old males how much I admired his work lest a serious discussion of literature degenerate into mere facetiation.

You’re supposed to perform the “fetch the lovely boy!” trick, but there’s one tiny problem: the physics of the room are completely forked. You could try to yeet the axe out the window, sure, but under weirdass Eystein physics, the axe would somehow get yeeted straight into the lovely boy instead. So… now what. :]
