MY TAKES:
Fitzgerald - doomer but make it glam. male-coded lana del rey. loves women but doesn't understand them.
Plath - performative femininity. sensitive, precocious, cat-like.
Nietzsche - the incel gaze
Hemingway - hate him. unserious. boring.
Dostoevsky - moral claustrophobia and god complex
Proust - snob. emotional filigree, memory as a sensory map.
Nabokov - favorite! baroque, victorian, uncompromisable values are beauty and cruelty. aesthetics over morality.
Wilde - aesthetics IS morality.
Colette - notice small delights and simple pleasures. loves cats. joie de vivre
Tolstoy - pov you're an aristocrat finding universal principles about family and love
Eliot - the soul under extreme social pressures
Austen - using wit, turn emotions into elegance, and elegance into critique
Huxley - imagine what could be / the future is now
Pessoa - solipsism. warming up for monk mode
Rilke - there is comfort in rock bottom
Lispector - Plath but more manic and philosophical
Didion - neurotic because no one understands how you feel and you can't understand it for them
Kafka - has a humiliation kink but doesn't know it yet
Murakami - dreamer. ignore reality and look for ways to die happy
Cocteau - white-pilled Fitzgerald and more diva
Ellis - everything is pr and marketing, except terror which is a real. cash rules everything around me
Steinbeck - type B. chill unc. pretend you're a nostalgic american and notice things in a humanistic and natural-world way
Lewis - Christianity is the pattern and shape of the human soul, love is the answer
H. Miller - the hedonist gaze. loves women but doesn't respect them
Nin - girls and gays!
Goethe - a scientist’s discipline, a poet’s fever
Flaubert - pretend you're Solomon writing Ecclesiastes for a modern audience

irony is dead and all but it’s pretty depressing to see Ghibli A.I. slop on the timeline not only because Miyazaki famously thinks A.I. art is disgusting but because he’s spent the last 50 years making art about environmental waste for petty human uses

Just saw someone saying using the em-dash is a sign of something being written by AI, because real people rarely use it. This is terrible news for everyone like me who has an unhealthy emotional attachment to the em-dash.

i feel like you could make all the hits in the world and go viral on tiktok and whatnot but you are never going to achieve the most important one: your lyrics being edited by a tumblr user against a cute background with white arial font in all caps

Reading is always political because your ability to read is something your women ancestors fought for you to have, and more you don’t see reading as a privilege, the easier it is for the same people who suppressed your ancestors to do it again
