i’m so obsessed with the idea of svetlana and florence being penpals. svetlana goes back to living with anatoly trying to continue on the way they were before, then one day she gets a letter and it’s like heyyyyy girlie what’s up?!?
a couple days ago was my one year anniversary of war and peace actually rotting my brain from the inside out. and last week i changed my major to focus on eastern europe in international studies! so thank you war and peace. wouldn’t be here without you.
I LOVE U NATASHA ROSTOVA!
i’ve seen ppl criticize both kitty and natasha for being tolstoy’s overly stereotypical girl characters and while i hate tolstoy and think he was a misogynist, those girls are also just like me… so. maybe he was onto something there.

"If he came across some worldly abomination he would say to himself, 'So-and-so's robbing the state and the Tsar while the state and the Tsar weigh him down with honours, is he? Well, let him get on with it - she smiled at me yesterday, she asked me round, and I love her, and nobody will ever know.'"
War and Peace, Tolstoy
i need a website to notify me when anyone (and i mean anyone) in a 100 mile radius of me is doing a production of the great comet. actually that feels like a thing that already exists but i know nothing i will just continue you to google it once a week.

i’ll never forgive sergei bondarchuk for casting himself as pierre… just cuz pierre thinks he’s old doesn’t mean he actually should look old 😭💔
bbc war and peace bad but callum turner as anatole kuragin was so inspired if u really think abt it. that man would also send me into a state of mania.
has anyone else noticed that while in the pit pierre watches natasha much more consistently than any other character who passes him? i might be seeing nothing but i really wonder if that’s on purpose.
