i have thought in great detail about coriolanus and sejanus, and whether or not coriolanus ever really liked sejanus. i think that the novel/movie are purposefully constructed to make this ambiguous, but i prefer to veer on the side of "yes, he did."

coriolanus' way of loving people was...lacking, to say the least. even with tigris, he thought awful, mean things about her, but it was evident he cared very much for her. the problem with coriolanus was not that he couldn't love -- it was that he could not love without first being assured that his investment would yield positive results for him. at least, he could not readily admit to himself that he was loving until he knew it was going to work out for him.

his character is very succinctly summed up by sejanus, when he tells him, "I remember that from school, watching you watch other people. Pretending you weren't. And choosing the moments you weighed in so carefully" (397). without fully knowing the totality of it, sejanus got it all too right: coriolanus took people in, measured them out, decided what they meant to him, and weighed in when he thought it'd benefit him. coriolanus was calculated in all things, most of all in love—a thing he knew made you vulnerable.

but that's not to say what coriolanus said to himself was the exact same thing as what he felt. if it was, i do not believe he would've done half the things he had done for sejanus--even given the prospect of reward in the end. this is part of what makes coriolanus descent into evil so heartbreaking: a part of him was good. he did want for connection and comfort, even if he had a real fucked up way of going about getting it. coriolanus was a dog that bit without fully knowing why; it was a protective instinct he used, because so much of his life had been filled with loss already.

in the book, after coriolanus snuck his father's handkerchief with lucy gray's scent into the tank of snakes, he went to sejanus' house. this is an incredible detail that so many people tend to overlook when they talk about coriolanus and sejanus' friendship. the beginning of the chapter reads:

"What had he done? What on earth had he done? His heart raced as he blindly turned down one street and then another, trying to make sense of his actions. He couldn't think clearly but had the dreadful feeling he'd crossed some line that could not be uncrossed" (287).

we start this chapter with a frenzied, rattled coriolanus, one terribly afraid of what he had just done and the consequences this action might have later. he was scared and isolated, and he didn't know what to do. a little further on, collins writes: "His feet had carried him far from home, but he realized the Plinth apartment was just a few minutes away. Why not pop in?" (288).i find this construction of words to be fascinating, especially in relation to coriolanus--a character we have come to known as calculated and precise, even in moments when he has to think on his feet. one could argue that during this part of the book, and in this state, it makes sense that coriolanus might wander that far from his home absent-mindedly. it shows how out of touch with himself he had become, and just how much the act he had just committed disorientated him. but i think it was more than that. i think coriolanus wanted to go to the plinth's house, that he was seeking comfort after he had done something incredibly dangerous (something, arguably, that sejanus might have done), and he could not admit it to himself. and his original intention had been to see sejanus, but sejanus was asleep.

the fact that collins wrote "his feet had carried him" and "he realized" is so brilliant. i’ve got lots of opinions about why she chose to write the book in a third person point of view. one of the reasons i think she did it has to do with the fact that coriolanus was distancing himself from himself--shedding culpability through phrases such as these, especially in moments like this. coriolanus did love sejanus, but he simply could not admit it to himself because sejanus was not a safe or wise investment to make. coriolanus refused to give credence to his need for him, and it ended up killing the boy in the long run.

what’s on my iPad?🎧

I have a more or less to-do free afternoon so I thought why not share what’s on my iPad? I use it at home for studying, in class I take my notes on paper :)

Religion exam was…something? Was done with all tasks after 15 minutes (wrote 2 pages) and then left. Considering I didn’t plan on going to the exam at all and had been on the verge of a panic attack the whole morning I’d say this is a win. At least a small one :’)

Almost lost my mind because I thought the document for my term paper got deleted but I fixed the problem! Managed to write a short chapter as well and now I’ll hopefully continue my book.📚

hey do you want to be a part of the 10th circle of hell (blank's writing collab)? we're all writing a little ditty of stan almost dying and rolling it all into one thing

we have beanbag chairs

here look at these five star reviews

its really fun we haveee uhhhhhh people an d stangst and everyone's helping each other research we have our own little community going on

i'm terrible at pitching things but if you want to join i can dm you the link, if not you dont have to answer this ask and you can throw rocks at me if you want

ignore the inconsistency in name colors i dont kniow what the fuck blank is doing but little preview of why you should totally join !! if you want !!

I would love to!!! I saw this while walking home this afternoon, and decided I’d answer it when I got home, and then, while walking, I formulated a whole little one shot in my brain where mullet!Stanley nearly dies. So. I might be set, aha. This is so fun.

I will warn you, though, I am. Atrocious about Discord because the only place I can access it is on my old broken iPad (I may have…. Forgotten the password) (I made this thing like 4 years ago and haven’t had to sign in since in my defense) (I’ve made Choices in my life, okay)

the iPad still works! She’s a strong one, even though she dies if I leave her alone too long and I have to do a wholeass ritual to revive her. It’s just…

… yeah. I’ve been letting her rest for the past several months, she deserves it

So! To summarize! Please add me on the discord, I would love to join! If I don’t respond in a timely manner please know it is not your fault it is mine, and please try tumblr next because the chances of reaching me are infinitely better!!

[codingcorgi]

Days 110 to 118 of coding everyday for a year and I've gotten so much done!

I finish both of my finals the C++ and the C#. The C++ final is an adventure game and it wasn't too challenging to make honestly I had fun with it. The C# project was also fun because I got to play with microcharts when creating the statistics page to display collected data! I plan to make the C++ game more fun honestly because I can't just let it die from here. I am going to make the Android and iOS build better on the C# project. I'm really proud of myself today :)

My next adventures will be brushing up on JavaScript since I'm severely out of practice and using what I know to make my portfolio website using Blazor!
