if you read and enjoyed dr jekyll & mr hyde (or the glass scientists), frankenstein, dorian gray, etc—odds are you’ll enjoy a much lesser-known but just as good gothic novel called the private memoirs and confessions of a justified sinner.
you can look up a much better summary than i can provide, but it’s an amazing early exploration of religious extremism and the indoctrination of young people, the nature of free will, mental psychoses, and human identity. not to mention the author’s commentary on scotland’s national identity.
it utilizes the gothic doppelgänger trope and explores dual identities in a way that is completely different from jekyll & hyde or dorian gray. our irredeemable main character is a wet dying baby bird found in a mouldy cardboard box at the side of the road with delusions of grandeur and religious trauma. he makes victor frankenstein look downright self-aware in comparison. oh yeah and the devil is there too btw
i’m literally just begging someone to read it it actually changed my brain chemistry
(me gil-martining people into reading this book)
obsessed with aldo bellini. he wants to reform the church but won’t carry his own luggage. he organizes secret stairwell conspiracies. he wants women in the curia (he’s never spoken to a woman in his life). he’s worsties with the cuntiest evil vape user of all time. he won’t say he wants to be pope but he has his name picked out. he’s a nervous wreck. he’s practical and clever. he’s too practical and too clever. he has the best ideas for what he’d do as pope but he’d be a terrible pope. he wants progress but he’s horribly flawed. he was even bald
*getting flagellated etc for my sins* no no i have no idea what you're talking about- an ORGASMIC moan?? no way, these are just normal pain sounds, do it again you'll see what i mean. cmon do it again do it again come onnnnn
WTF why didn’t anyone tell me other people are lowky obsessed with this movie
rewatching game of thrones right now and the scene where cersei asks for lady to be killed in nymeria’s place is such a good metaphor/foreshadowing for sansa’s experience over the course of the rest of the show (for a while). she lies and allies herself with the lannisters for her own safety, playing the perfect lady, but ultimately she is repeatedly the one punished for her family’s actions because she’s simply the stark they have lying around. killing lady symbolized them cutting her off from her family and heritage at the same time they ‘defanged’ her.
