stop searching for gay men in dostoevskys works there are NONE there . tolstoy didn't fight for his life writing pierre and andrei/anatole and fyodor/nikolai and fyodor for yall to turn to dostoevskys works for BLs

[fyodolai-deactivated20230127]

dostoevsky works are for good plot and war and peace is for gay men banter

[sapphiceffy]

I haven’t read war & peace yet (soon hopefully) but let me enjoy my little gay Dostoyevsky ships 😩🙏

FALSE. Pyotr Stepanovich Verkhovensky did not throw his whole pussy into recruiting the hottest man in town for his insane revolutionary plot just to be slandered like this

The “Codex Rotundus” owes its name to its round shape. It is a small book of hours (9 cm diameter) made in Bruges in 1480. Thumbnails are most likely from the workshop of Dutchman Willem Date illuminator (active from 1450 to 1482). (Hildesheim Cathedral Library, Germany)

Do you ever just want to read non-stop? To surge your way through book after book after book because always it feels as though there’s always too much to read and too little time? To plan what you want to read next even though you’ve barely started your currently read?

“A writer is a person whose most absorbed and passionate hours are spent arranging words on pieces of paper. I write entirely to find out what’s on my mind, what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I’m seeing and what it means, what I want and what I’m afraid of.”

— Joan Didion

“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but ‘steal’ some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”

— Albert Camus, Notebooks 1951-1959
