When U Look Up From A Wikipedia Rabbit Hole And It's 3:25am

thinking about mór ó corra—how, before she was mór, she had the same name as the virgin mary. and how, one fateful day in the middle of nowhere, virginia, she brought a literal god into the world. there's something in that.

These r so incredible I'm losing it

I asked chatgpt to make some lame jokes about tsh characters, here are some of em':

1) Why does Henry hate elevators?

Because they remind him of morals—too many ups and downs.

2) What’s Bunny’s favorite exercise?

Running his mouth.

3) Why did Bunny fail history class?

He thought “Ancient Greece” was a fancy restaurant.

4) What’s Charles’s favorite drinking game?

Life. And he’s losing.

5) What’s Francis’s favorite song?

"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life", but only because he finds irony funny.

6) How does Julian flirt?

By reciting long passages of Latin poetry—because nothing says romance like a 300-page dead language textbook.

7) How did Donna Tartt know her book was going to be a hit?

She didn’t. She just knew it would make everyone at her college reunion really uncomfortable.

rip Neil Josten u would've loved reversible jeans and Duolingo

ik this is prob obvious but I'm putting it out there anyway bc I randomly got reminded of it

INDEPENDENCE & SELF SUFFICIENCY

Andrew spent all the money from Tilda's death on that car BECAUSE he didn't need the car - he wasn't gonna go pay college fees or groceries or whatever bc he didn't need Tilda to survive - he didn't need her while she was alive and he didn't need her now, he could support himself. So of course he wasn't going to use the money from her to buy essential things - he bought that ridiculously expensive car solely because he did not need it and he wanted the money gone.

Nicky jokingly mentions that the car is the reason they're poor, but Andrew wouldn't want Tilda to be the reason they're stable - they can take care of themselves. That money was never going to be used for things they needed, so he blew it on the car

I really love the idea that when Neil and Andrew get completely comfortable sharing a bed they’re both actually horrible to sleep with. Neil talks in his sleep and kicks. Andrew is a bed/blanket hog, he’s also a cuddler but in the way that he’s laying on Neil (he claims it’s to stop Neil from kicking him).

Please read The Spear Cuts Through Water

I'm pretty sure I wrote it down somewhere, but it was either just after I finished reading the series or while I was reading it that I remember thinking vividly "the difference between feral and unhinged is neil and andrew" and every day I think about how accurate that statement is

why is Richard sickly for like 95% of the book he's always complaining about being exhausted and faint and nauseous and riddled with headaches and his solution is LETS HAVE MORE PILLS AND ALCOHOL??

LIKE SIR PLEASE JUST EAT A VEGETABLE IM BEGGING U

I’ve never seen the show but the idea that Kaz and Nina would not both put their all into pretending to be couple is ridiculous. Like they’d have everyone in their vicinity gagging, probably competing to see who can come up with the most disgustingly sweet cringy things to say to each other, either trying to break each other or break everyone around them and have Matthias and Inej wondering if they should be worried. They’re actors ladies and gentlemen and they take their craft very seriously.

Does anyone have any book recs similar to trc????
