#found annotations

[marrowsucker]

Found in one of my great grandmother’s books. She collected anything she found interesting and it’s likely the writing in pencil is not hers. I can’t make out the annotator’s name, but they seem to have written the phrase, “Cupid came and caught one” many times throughout the book. Perhaps they turned to a book of mythology for romantic advice. The annotations also label one illustration of Themis as “Mamie”.

living for alhaitham's inherent curiosity about kaveh being the catalyst for an odd textual mystery...??

he already read the Very Bad novel in the house of daena before kaveh got hold of it? but then seeing it in their study and knowing kaveh must have checked it out, he... opened it anyway despite already knowing the contents?? 1) because he knew kaveh wouldn't mind, and 2) because he was curious what kaveh thought about it?? considering that he knows kaveh makes annotations in books??

he saw kaveh circle the killer's name in permanent ink, effectively spoiling the novel, no matter how terrible, and joined in by circling a name to create a red herring, but also because he thought circling names was funny <3

he put the book in the same place in the study and didn't say anything to kaveh when kaveh went to return it, and kaveh went about believing alhaitham knew nothing about it, until the quest comes full circle and kaveh returns to alhaitham to tell him the news, only to find out that he and alhaitham were jointly the instigators for the conspiracy.

the quest is THEIR fault!! but.. the conspiracy wouldn't have happened if alhaitham hadn't made the second circle,, so… if he hadn't been curious about something that occupied kaveh's time..., that’s so !!??

i will be so real and honest if i only had those gigantic complete works of william shakespeare books with the teeny text you need to squint at to see in order to read the plays i would just walk into the sea and never return

Enjoying catholic canon while being agnostic is so fucking funny. No I don't believe there's a big man in the sky. Yes I would like to read Dante's self-insert fanfic of him going to the sky man's house.

It’s true that Marlowe as a character archetype contributes enormously to toxic masculinity but it’s such a bad faith read at the same time. Yes he’s like that. Yes it’s because he’s a man. Yes he is moderately heroic. Why does everyone on Earth want to punch him in the nose, including himself? Because he’s a fucking tool, do you want that for yourselves men?

watching the first 2 episodes of frieren last year shook me so bad i still can't get myself to continue it, but between what i remember of it and the nightmares episode of dungeon meshi i can't stop thinking about the ways laios would prepare marcille for his death. what would he leave behind to remind her that he (and by extension all the people she loved and who loved her) are still with her in spirit, even if not in body?
