Hetalia: Well, I never thought I’d say this, but I think I know what’s going on in your head.
Junji Ito: Oh, well, then, welcome to the Terror Dome.
Og anon, it's also the fact that considering that it's fiction there are different standards in canon universe. Like for vampires, killing people is normal, so writing a dissertation on how edward is evil & a murderer is ??? ya know. also looking back at my first ask, i sounded kinds short with you, i really wasn't annoyed or mad, i have a pretty deadpan way of speaking which can come off as offended or annoyed.
Oh no that's fully okay I totally understand the tone thing I'm super sarcastic irl and I get in a lot of trouble lmao.
I feel you on the fiction thing! That's another reason I don't understand why people compare the two so much??? Which is what inspired the post. I'm like, ah yes, this fictional boy did a bad (whether it was smeyers racism OR bad writing or anything else) vs. this fictional boy was in a historically awful war that actually happened on the side of the baddies. So yeah, absofreakinlutely.
I too am struggling with TFC Book 1 & sorely missing the elegant prose of CP. The best book for reading after CP for me was Mary Renault's beautiful The Persian Boy, which has a Greek historical setting with slavery/royalty/battle themes and is similarly exquisitely written with plenty of aesthetic detail (something TFC hugely lacks). There is much more focus on the central romantic m/m relationship too. Pascat said that Renault was one of her influences in writing CP, so maybe give it a try!
Hii!
I have read the Persian Boy during my first year of Uni!! My god, maybe it’s beacause it’s linked to such lovely memories, but I have this beautiful, poetic feeling connected to it. I didn’t know she was somehow inspired by it, wow! I totally agree and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Even though I used to be much more invested in Alexander’s relationship with Haphaestion than Bagoas, the author always finds way to be so delicate and at the same time historically accurate (as much as a novel allows), that it was always a pleasure, yeah? :)
Thank you for bringing TPB up, I hadn’t though about it in so long. And, please, come back to discuss TFC as you keep reading, we might enjoy it more togehter!
