Book Quotes

”I hate him.

I hate Augustus. I see them hanging Eo together. They mock me. They laugh at me. I hate Antonia. I hate Fitchner. I hate Titus. I hate. I hate. I am burning and mad and sweating. I hate the Jackal. The Proctors. I hate. I hate myself for all I’ve done. All I’ve done. For what? To win a game. To win a game for someone who will never know about anything I do. Eo is dead. It isn’t as if she will ever be coming back to see all I have done for her.

Dead.”

— Darrow of Lykos, Red Rising

Post a random fact about yourself.

Travelling to Qatar made me realize that my country France is like a third world country in comparison. They have small robots in libraries that guide you to the section of books you'd want. We have rats in Paris. Math isn't mathing.

@Darcel, I’m an avid believer in freedom of speech. Some people lack resources and guidance on where to put their pain for various reasons. Trauma trends to come up as a messy knot of incongruent and unregulated thoughts that can cause lapses in judgement. It is what it is. Lending an ear goes an awfully long way. However, if you are not able to lend an ear, by all means — do not and take care of yourself first.

It is not about lending an ear to me, as I can listen for hours about anything, really, and I wouldn't be too stunned. The thing about trauma-dumping is that I am not a /sugarcoater/ and I can be very blunt about matters that it would come out as insensitive sometimes— but that is because I prefer to always remind those around me of reality rather than let them daydream. When something is not going to be alright, they must know of it, embrace the harshness and begin to act on how to deal with it. It's better than lying and sweetening words and offering false sense of comfort and security just to /ease/ a part of the burden even though their life is going straight towards the cliff. If something is looking wrong and bad, I will say it is wrong and bad, and to buckle up. I will not go mode daisies and flowers and disney. Does it even make sense? That is why I said those that trauma-dump must ask first, because not everyone is going to offer the same form of /support/. Some may not handle it, dislike it, and well, it could turn even worse than it already was.

I believe people need to consent before they trauma-dump. Or, if they randomly trauma-dump when no one asked them to, then they shouldn't get upset when no one cares. Boohoo, you live in pain and life is unfair. Oh well, tell me something I don't know. If you want pity and attention, therapists exist for a fair price.

I think that can be said for most if not everyone on this site.

I don't think that's necessary after people have been posting here for literally years.

Seven years. Yes.

I can't watch any movie/series without doing something on the side. Like playing a game on my phone I don' need to pay any attention to while paying full attention to whatever I'm watching. Or maybe peeling an apple and cutting it into small pieces and eating it.

Before anyone asks, yes I have ADHD. I can only sit and read something that greatly interests me, even then I feel like my ass is on fire while I do it and I have to move and do something dynamic.

@Krasnaya

You finally posted here, Strigoi.

@LegendBegins Hi there. Was wondering if maybe "random facts about yourself" was more like "what are you listening to", or "what are you watching". Seems like it belongs more in Off-Topic than Spam. Any chance of moving it over there? If not, that's fine, just a suggestion. But if you could, maybe delete this post after as well? Hell, delete this post anyway. Thank you :)

@Charley

What.
