still reading frankenstein and i completely forgot that theres a part where victors wrapping up doing devious deeds on a sparsely inhabited island off the shore of england and he loads all his mad scientist shit into a rowboat and pushes off into the water and then fucking falls asleep with no navigational tools and when he wakes up hes like, adrift with no land in sight and hes likeĀ ā€˜FUCK my creation!!!!!ā€™ even though the monster had absolutely nothing to do with getting him lost in the middle of the fucking english channel and he starts lamenting about how hes going to die and his family is never going to see him again and hes going to go to davey jones locker or whatever because hes been without potable water in a rowboat for like 4 hours and then he sees land and hes likeĀ ā€˜oh thank god im saved!!!ā€™ and he gets to shore and is met with an angry mob who thinks he murdered someone and hes likeĀ ā€˜but where is english hospitality?????ā€™ and theyre likeĀ ā€˜this is ireland you dumb slutā€™ and as theyre marching him to the magistrate hes likeĀ ā€˜i was still thirsty but did not want to show my weaknessā€¦ā€¦ā€™ like could you even imagine

Frankenstein is an unflinchingly realistic portrayal of the highly specialized form of stupid that comes from being told for your entire childhood that youā€™re a world-changing genius who can solve every problem because youā€™re so smart, but now youā€™re in college and you have depression and you keep fucking everything up because being good at reading science books when you were 12 doesnā€™t actually translate into making smart life choices and youā€™re constantly beating yourself up about your horrible failures but you couldnā€™t possibly ask anyone for help, and in fact the idea doesnā€™t even cross your mind because obviously you will be able to handle it this time because youā€™re a world-changing genius who can solve every problem, and consequently you keep right on catastrophically fucking everything up, and I donā€™t think it gets enough credit for that.

I hate the ā€œopen floor planā€ that everyone is obsessed with in houses now. I want nooks and crannies and bizarre floor plans. I donā€™t need to be able to see what someone is doing on the other side of the house. I want places to hide and lurk and dwell in the shadows. I am the beast who awaits in the labyrinth

hey so... everyone knows Kabru is the opposite of Laios, but nobody talks about how the rest of their party members are also opposed,

  • scab criminal Mickbell against unionized worker Chilchuck
  • dogboy against catgirl
  • Rin the outlaw mage who hasn't actually done anything wrong against Marcille the highborn upper class mage who's secretly a necromancer
  • Dia the dwarf who distrusts dungeons against Senshi the naturalist who's lived in dungeons for decades
  • Holm the support mage who uses other creatures as a shield against Falin the cleric with a martyr complex

You can tell that Laios has an accent. His letters are more squishy and soft and Marcille's are more angular. He pronounces a 慁 like it's an 慇.

His pronunciation gets a lot more angular between chapter 34 and 71.

And again when he casts water-walk in ch 79. Very angular

That feeling when your body is requesting something but you're not sure what so you just start eating and drinking random stuff to try and figure it out

Me, eating a chocolate waffle at 7pm: Is this what you desire, oh prison of flesh?
