BETWEEN US AND animals is a namelessness. We flail around generically — camelopardalis is what the Romans came up with or "giraffe" ( it looked to them like a camel crossed with a leopard ) or get the category wrong — a musk Ox isn't an ox at all but more closely cognate with the goat — and when choosing to name individual animals we pretend they are objects (Spot) or virtues (Beauty) or just other selves (Bob).
— Anne Carson, "Between Us And"

Anne Carson, Red Doc>:
"To feel anything deranges you. To be seen feeling anything strips you naked. In the grip of it pleasure or pain doesn’t matter. You think what will they do what new power will they acquire if they see me naked like this. If they see you feeling. You have no idea what. It’s not about them. To be seen is the penalty."
Are those the lines you were looking for?
YES that is exactly what i meant, thank you!!
#thank you 🥹#to be seen is the penalty gets me every time#i think also because i only ever remember half of things i always mix this with the ocean vuong quote about wanting#and how the act of being pitied makes you pitiable in itself that’s the injury but!!! it’s all marbles rattling around in there#anne carson#red doc>

in the least defamatory way possible, Red Doc> feels a lot more Percy Jackson than Autobiography of Red. AoR keeps it lighter on the fantasy its pretty much just Geryon being red and having wings but RD> 's got gods and prophets and magical creatures and the settings are a lot less specific which makes it more fantastic I think. Also the roadtrip rly makes me think of The Lightning Thief lol

I understand the appeal of writer!Jason Todd while he’s the Redhood but I don’t think YOU understand the appeal of writer!Jason while he’s a pre-teen Robin. That young man writes a field report like it’s a mystery novel, and like what is Bruce even supposed to say “Hey, chum… while the pacing of the report was very intriguing, I need you to be LESS detailed about the color of the suspects ‘emerald green orbs.’” No, he won’t!! because Jason may be a bit annoying but it’s a vast improvement from Dick “What happens with the titans is between me, god, and the emergency room on 34th ave.” Grayson who used to just write “fixed it :)” on cases he completed.
#Tim might’ve been uploading Adopted By The Waynes fanfic to wattpad at 12 but#but Jason was writing Finding Out Your Krptonian fanfic on the batcomputer at 13#AND THAN HE SHOWED IT TO BRUCE?!!?!#HE SHARED IT IRL HE DID NOT HAVE WATTPAD HE HAD GOOGLE DOCS AND A DREAM#dcu#batman#batfam#batfamily#bruce wayne#batkids#jason todd#i really do jsut say shit sorry#red hood#dick grayson#nightwing#taxes talks too much
