say what you will about bbc war and peace but this shared look between natasha and nikolai is everything to me
the way the great comet is structured makes me think so much even though i know you’re meant to just accept that it’s different. im sorry i cannot do that. pierre says “i should visit, i hear she is more beautiful than ever” and all i can think about is how he saw her last week.
i think in war and peace tolstoy’s misogyny feels intrusive whereas in anna karenina it feels built in.
nobody tears through library books quite as fast as a 12 yr old girl with no friends
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.
how do you guys feel about 2007 war and peace having denisov and sonya end up together cuz i think it’s so funny. the ending as a whole is so silly though they really wanted it wrapped up in a little bow.
put me inside flesh that is dying a ghost that wanders without rest buried by desires and weakness i understand please, don't take your love away from me
