this is probably unpopular but i like the idea that noelle is friends with berdly cause she selfishly thinks that he’s an idiot and it gives her something to focus on or control to get her out of her headspace where she has no agency.
every day i ask myself this very interesting question
why does my left arm and hand hurt
i am right handed
literally, why are you hurting, you are not even doing anything
when dostoevsky said ‘i want to talk about everything with atleast one person the way i talk about things with myself’ and (as if almost conversely) when clarice lispector said ‘it is inside myself that i must create someone who will understand’
