Absolute Brilliance

This is a multifandom/personal blog though right now I post things a lot of things related to Once Upon a Time; The Man From U.N.C.L.E.; The Hobbit/LOTR; Period dramas; and whatever else I'm into at the moment. I LOVE classic novels which is probably why I have a BA in English literature.

There is a word we have in German: Waldeinsamkeit. A feeling of being one with the forest. I have it here.

Lovely.

What a PERFECT way to attract the young adult audience who might otherwise be put off by the idea of a “stuffy” classic.

Also I would love that edition of Persuasion for myself, thanks.

“you can’t be tired,” chortles a middle aged family friend, “you’re young!”

“really??” I exclaim. I had no idea. my exhaustion lifts off my shoulders, the bags under my eyes disappear. I no longer need sleep, due to my invigorating youth. I Am Free.

I read middle aged as Middle Aged and was expecting a plague reference.

“thou cannot have the black death,” the doctor scoffs behind his mask, “you are youthful!”

“marry??” I exclaim. I hadst no idea. the fever lifts, mine own strength returns, the blackness fades from mine own skin. I am in perfect health, due to mine own most wondrous youth. I Am Free.

shoutout to bilbo for not initiating mass murder when the dwarves ate all of his food because if that was me i would have ended the line of durin over a small block of cheese
