[nepttunnee]

[starrrykingbutworse]

professor jacob grimes 99.999% accuracy:

[rhythm-of-lesbianism]

yeah katabasis has a pretty great understanding of hell so far

[yourgoodfriendjh]

just finished katabasis and i genuienly think that all the people who complain about this book being bloated and poorly paced and dragging along just don't like flashbacks or character exploration or learning new things. im sorry but i had a fantastic fucking time with this book and even when parts of it were slow it was very necessary

Chapter one. Pt.1

“Cambridge, Michaelmas Term, October.

She knew that voice. She knew, before she turned around, whom she would find at the door.”

-KATABASIS, R.F. Kuang-

[literarybrainrot]

Absolutely infuriating that people keep trashing on R.F. Kuang for “being pretentious” when they knowingly pick up a novel in a genre KNOWN for using academic language. Like please don’t read dark academia if you’re not prepared for references to classic lit, footnotes, or elevated language like babe those are genre staples.

[pontiuspilatesprincess]

Best moment of Katabasis so far is when they meet the cohort of dead students who voluntarily stay in Hell when they don't have to, because they'd rather stay charred ghosts if they're the charred ghosts of prestigious Oxbridge attendees rather than risk reincarnation as a farmer or laborer. That bit is C.S. Lewis-worthy.

Situationship so bad you lose your hand, start a revolution, team up with the evil overthrown lady that let your entire country suffer in war, get imprisoned by her in your own mind for the lolz, start hallucinating your dead crush/cousin insulting and beating you, save your old teacher/father, have to deal with his magical dementia and ptsd, kill your fellow rebelion leaders, rescue your platonic soulmate from said situationship and fuck shit up so bad that everyone you love is dead bc of you <3

[blossomsfromwaterland]

I remember nezha losing a nation (HIS nation) because he couldn’t bring himself to kill rin and suddenly im not hungry anymore

[blossomsfromwaterland]

“Rin.” Nezha looked so scared. It was a funny thing, how fear made him look so much younger, how it rounded his eyes and erased the cruel grimace of his sneer so that he looked, just for an instant, like the boy she’d first met at Sinegard. “Rin, don’t—”

The moment nezha realized he would be left alone to carry the burden he never wanted, duty forced onto him since birth with a fragile support system. He would have to revive his nation, no one by his side, not with the only person he’s ever loved, not with his best friend. He lives, but at what cost?

My roman empire is when nezha was willing to be humiliated by the hesparians for not being able to bring rin to them. He could do it, if he wanted, but he never wanted to. He never WANTED to. He was willing to be humiliated, degraded, over and over again, by the foreigners on HIS land, by Vaisra, as long as he could keep her alive, he didn’t care about respect oh my nezha
