The Goldfinch Left Me Permanently Insane Because Why Have I Thought About It Every Day For The Past 4

I love that they have their subgenres of nerd. Like Will is the only one of them who knows morse code but Dustin knows more D&D lore off the top of his head like the details of shadow walking while Lucas is better with like aerodynamics (you can't tell me he's not being nerdy about those wristrocket angles) and like battle prep with all the random stuff in his bag and Mike's the one who says shit like "blasphemous" and "conspiring" in casual conversation.

Um…those who do not move cannot feel their chains tbh….

donna tartt really said "being queer is like having something very precious and very rare and beautiful and life giving and the only real thing in a world of lies but you HAVE to keep hidden and a secret because it is a crime/morally wrong to have it/the world will fall apart beneath my feet if people find out/it will harm people I love if it comes to light/it is MINE and no one else's" and you expect me to be normal about her

they were right btw. you have to dig yourself out of your grave over and over again

I’m watching Tgf and Tom Cable literally says “my mom blew up over that shit too” about the cigarettes are u fucking kidding rn, like… idk how I didn’t notice before

"The Goldfinch reference!" I scream as they drag me to the asylum

it's your lucky day. nothing you had that left is coming back

"do it scared" ok but I would like to do something some other way occasionally. Like at least once. For a change.
