Bevor jetzt auch noch die Urlaublektüre hinterherhinkt, hier noch schnell die total literarische Leseliste.

Die literarische Vorlage. Wie der Film ist sie recht reißerisch, und spielt statt im irgendwie angenommenen Berlin überraschenderweise über weite Strecken in München (ist für Schmuggeltätigkeiten über den Bodensee auch viel praktischer).

Die literarische Nachbereitung. Will Self imitiert einen bekannten Roman von Oscar Wilde. Es sind die 1980, mit AIDS (sonderbar viele AIDS-Dramen gerade...), hemmungslosem Drogenkonsum und Prinzessin Diana. Der attraktive, aber zügellose und unmoralische Dorian Gray scheint nicht zu altern, stattdessen altert die Videoinstallation, die sein Künstlerfreund Basil von ihm geschaffen hat.....

Der literarische Politikunterricht. Der gute Herr Wieland hält den Regierenden -als verschachtelte und mit diversen Meta-Übersetzung-Ebenen (aus dem scheschianischen) Erzählung aus einem fernen Märchenland mit Sultan, Philosoph und natürlich Haremdsdamen- einen goldnen Spiegel vor. Es hat sich offensichtlich in den 250 Jahren seither wenig am Konzept der wohlmeinenden, aber trotzdem die Zustände nur verschlimmernden Regierung geändert, so daß man es eigentlich immer noch hervorragend verwenden kann.

Die literarische Feierstunde von John Waters. Die Freuden der Jugend, das hatte ich hier schon angekündigt, wollte ich nochmal im O-Ton lesen (da hatte ich lustigerweise auch einen Wieland direkt davor). Vielleicht gibt es ja keinen besseren Roman auf der Welt.

Das literarische und popkulturelle Suchspiel in der bewährt süchtigmachenden Kim-Newman-Manier. In den Katakomben unter der Paris Oper betreibt Erik, bekannt als das Phantom derselben eine kleine Agentur, die sich um Ermittlungen und gelegentliche Auftragsmorde für Fälle, in denen die Polizei lieber nicht eingeschaltet wird kümmert. Ausführendes Organ sind -ähnlich funktionierend wie später bei Charlie- immer drei Engel der Musik, die ersten sind (natürlich) Christine Daaé, Trilby O'Ferrall und die bewährte Irene Adler, dazu kommen immer neue aus den Höchst- und Tiefstunterhaltungen, in denen sich Mr. Newman so schön auskennt, besonders freuten mich natürlich die Imitationskünstlerin Mrs. Eynsford-Hill und Gilberte Lachaille, nur Sibyl Vane, die englische Schauspielerin, die gerade erst drei Bücher zuvor als Strichjunge Herman auftauchte, war kein rechter Erfolg.

Das gefeierte literarische Wunderkind befand, in seinem dritten Roman sei es mal Zeit, sich Gedanken über seine unaufgeregt selbstverständliche Homosexualität zu machen, und sorgte damit natürlich doch für einige Aufregung. Obwohl es im Vergleich mit Myra Breckinridge noch geradezu gediegen wirkt. Und nur so ein mittelgutes Ende nimmt. Thomas Mann immerhin befand, es sei ein edles Werk.

the hadestown iwtv vision is like. what if loumand was persephone and hades but the love story was between hades and orpheus, who is a mean old man, and his eurydice is his younger self. what if this song was a love song between hades and orpheus. you know?

#he's grown so afraid that he'll lose what he owns but he doesn't know that what he's defending is already gone...#WHERE IS THE TREASURE INSIDE OF YOUR CHEST WHERE IS YOUR PLEASURE WHERE IS YOUR YOUTH #anyway.#Spotify

Hey do you think if someone had shown up and sung Epic III from Hadestown at the Tenth Doctor somewhere along his negative character arc and extreme depression spiral that everything would have been okay. Do you think the la la la la la la las would have fixed him. Idk man stop letting me blog at 2 am

#idk man where is the treasure inside of your chest? where is your pleasure? where is your youth?#where is the man with his arms outstretched to the woman he loves with nothing to lose?#doctor who #tenth doctor

Tag drop: Jing Yuan (incomplete, but the rest will be added behind the scenes) (... and a little return of Yelan's aesthetic, for I've missed her desperately)

#tag drop #jing yuan. [ history will make its own judgment. if i succeed; it will state that i am supremely confident in my masterful strategy. ]#jing yuan: ic. [ but if I fail; then all will state that i am neglecting my duties in wanton pleasure. preferring finches over my people. ]#jing yuan: inquiries. [ if you want to distract me with questions; i urge you to stop. / ah. how could you suspect such malice? ]#jing yuan: countenance. [ he is also a master of the arts of concealment. when he decides to “show” something: it's time to be careful. ]#jing yuan: introspection. [ the xianzhou has very few legends. for what room is there to create legends among those who do not die? ]#jing yuan: meta. [ have you memorized all that? / yes general. / very good. but only when you've forgotten it: will you be ready. ]#jing yuan: little notes. [ it is a warrior's game. singular encounters with endless possibilities. ]#jing yuan: wishes. [ the pieces are like us; each with its sentience. there is no going back on the board; how can one return to the past?#jing yuan: etc. [ only the truly wise can stand proud in front of the undefeated enemy called time. ]#jing yuan: the luofu. [ they name the xianzhou luofu as just xianzhou; but one is not the other. the luofu is the luofu. it is no more. ]#jing yuan: cloud knights. [ the cloud knights entrusted their lives to me. i shall not fail them. ]#jing yuan: wave-treading snow lion. [ how could i turn down looking after a long-extinct little animal to help continue its lineage? ]#jing yuan: high-cloud quintet. [ the past cannot be pursued; but the future can still be hoped for. ]#jing yuan: yanqing. [ it is my fault. i should have given him an opportunity already. “a sharp sword can't stay sheathed forever." ]#jing yuan: jingliu. [ in an endless night… there is nothing closer than the bright moon: always hanging in the sky. ]#jing yuan: blade. [ it is never wise to put down the hammer and take up the sword. ]#jing yuan: dan heng. [ bygones are bygones. but sometimes i wish things had turned out differently. ]#jing yuan: v. youth. [ ah. that carefree new cloud knight recruit. i was like that once upon a time. but it was a long while ago… ]

mrs collins arc in summary

#➤ roger collins & victoria winters. ┊ pain sometimes precedes pleasure，miss winters.#➤ arc: mrs. collins. ┊ collinwood will always mean home to me.#half the reason I think things would actually Work Out is that they’re both two terrible marriages/engagements down #‘might as well give it a shot. third time’s the charm’#it’s not so much a matter of … passion or whirlwind romance. so much as it is they’re already close and they want to move On from #prev spouses & unhappiness. adversity better faced in partnership #not that there isn’t romance involved but that’s not why they get married.#v’s experience still pales to roger’s but it does not Work unless they’re both divorced (to me)#Roger doesn’t necessarily have to live up to a youthful naive expectation of marriage and V is not a young toy that he’d buy like a new car #I didn’t even count v and barn’s almost vampire marriage but like. that too #they’ve both all but given up on the idea of marriage bringing happiness by then.#not that rog is ever selfless (never!) but he does have some selfless motives in terms of protecting V; keeping her with the family;#ensuring she’s financially provided for #there’s a line when she’s in Bangor looking for Answers about how she feels her future is tied to the Collinses whether or not her past is.#and. yeah. that’s it baby !!!!!#ok enough waxing about the version of the story that lives exclusively in my head lmao

the problem for me with both witcher s3 and wot s2—well, okay, one of a few problems, but the one i'm singling out at the moment—is that i've just reached a point with SFF where i've largely used up what little patience i ever possessed for the 'young trainee gets frustrated that they're not progressing faster and gets reckless' trope?

like it's not that it's not a plausible way for someone to behave, it totally is! but. i don't know. i need a, like, decade-long break where i just get stories starring middle-aged people who have, probably painfully, learned some damn patience and slow perseverance…

#tvblogging #also honestly #bookblogging #anyway i grudgingly did a google bc it's good to take my own medicine wrt researching at least a little before you hit post #so i might try some of the things that came up #but like. idk. really at some level i just want‚ idk‚ someone to option a tarma and kethry show or sth #Competent Cheerfully Jaded Mercs Have SFF Adventures #…is this my cue to revisit ancient misty lackey in 2023. possibly. god.#but like. i just want more coherent writing and less petulant teens #wot is better than witcher and also has moiraine but like. we're spending too much time with the babs. i want my adult qpr back :(#also obviously all of this is Not Unrelated 2 my personal situation where i've like. aged out of really relating to Youth #but remain pretty deeply alienated by most (cishet‚ reproductive‚ *productive* for that matter) visions of adulthood #so it's like. where are the narratives abt ppl who are out of sync with the expected narratives #but also bc i'm having such a bitch of a time with life i'm very hard to please bc crankiness comes much more easily than pleasure #anyway. unfortunately i got the gnothi seauton bit down but in itself that gets you precisely nowhere #just like. deep in the omphaloskeptic hole. emphasis on skeptic

the pleasure of existence <- not that i exist, but that the people i love do, and by that same merit that love exists in such a way that i can love them

#timothy's txts.#we were talking about purpose at the youth group i'm a leader at #and to be honest. to be honest!!!!! i feel like love and joy can be a purpose #not in the eat drink and be merry for tomorrow we die type style. but in the way that taking pleasure in love #is a precious thing to be able to do
