š¶ļø yesā¦ like over the covers kinda writing
This is modern day Shakespeare and I mean that so literally. The toxic drama mixed in with deeply profound lines of poetry that makes people wanna pick apart, act out, write novels on and spend years studying. Lines that make you wish Tom hiddleston was on stage proclaiming with those emotive eyes he had when he did that live production of Coriolanus from 2014- you know the eyes, the look, Iām talking about? Too niche?
Fine fine let me circle back.
I feel like I was in a scientific study and was being poked and prodded, injected with things to see how Iād react and REACT I DID. what is in these books? Because objectively bj (HIS NAME IS BJ) is the worst kinda person but he is now one of my comfort characters? Huh? Someone please explain how I hate him but I hate hating him to the point where I donāt hate him I love him? But I canāt explain it fully and thereās no logic to it other then somehow I think bj truly fully understands love in all its forms and facets and accepts it for all itās wonderful horrible things. How can man who does what he does and acts how he acts also have the most romantic and intimate lines and soliloquies? (Itās because heās written by a woman shut up I know thatās not the point)
Something happened to me in between the pages and it feels like how it feels when I hear a new Taylor swift song for the first timeā¦ that āoh I didnāt know someone could put this into words- someone who doesnāt know me but still understands my soulā
Same feeling.
The same feeling I had when I read still life with woodpecker for the first time
Same feeling when I actually understood hamlet and that one iconic monologue and how when each actor annunciates the words differently it changes the inflection.
Same feeling I had when Barney asked Robin to marry him in himym
Same feeling I had when I found out that Gojo and Geto in jjk would still meet up in the ten years they were enemies
What I mean to say is
5 āļø but like donāt ask me about it unless you wanna hear about me being abducted by aliens and how they replaced my kidney. And donāt ask me why i might cry spontaneously just thinking about them.
Objectively trashy and toxic but with lines that makes you stare at the wall for ten minutes every five pages making the book go on for longer then it should but also your totally fine with it because you wanna stay there with them for as long as possible
