me trying to go back for one final sippy is how i got the fucking hidden achievement where all the garden statues have DECIDED TO MOVE and block your path back. the point of no return, if you will. i just wanted a sippy.

also in the last door you can get a sippy as many times as you'd like from the lab sink but eventually the rat people WILL come for you

[aitsf] my pointless yuri

i do also heavily fw women who have completely understandable reasons or fucked up backstories that led them to where they are now but i also love women like emeraude who commit literal atrocities and go "ive learned nothing from this im going to be evil again"

don't give me a redeemable woman i want women who are just batshit crazy for no good reason and who commit atrocities and don't feel bad abt it but fuck they're hot doing it.

i am SO tired of being sick and im trying to keep up w every little thing i have to do at home and it's like. i just work here. i need a fr sick day

hope these help

of hell with a goal accomplished is like!!!! FUCK, DUDE!!!! and i genuinely genuinely genuinely loved the way things were resolved. it was good. i love seeing abusers get fucked over. anyway genuinely like 9/10 loved this.

actually my first time reading one of r.f. kuang's books (although ive only ever heard good things abt her other works!!) and while this one has def had mixed reviews, i truly...truly am glad i read it. seeing someone i resonated with hit her lowest fucking lows but still be able to claw her way out

everyone really got like...what they deserved. it wasn't a neat and tidy ending by any means for the world as a whole but it was so satisfying for the characters. this was a very character driven story and i think some people...may not like that. but it was so beautiful and thoughtful... this was

the fmc (alice). idk if it was intentional for her to have bpd but she was very bpd-coded to me and like...honestly letting a mc be shitty and having to face the consequences for their actions was like. really good.

AND HAVING /OTHER/ SHITTY PEOPLE FACE THE CONSEQUENCES WAS SO POETIC. in the end,

"katabasis" is a journey to hell a la dante's inferno, orpheus and eurydice. you get it. and this WAS. it truly, genuinely WAS a katabasis. the book successfully did what it set out to do so i have no notes on that.

but also as someone who has bpd and is an abuse victim, i empathized SO HARD with

Katabasis - R.F. Kuang

- [HEAVY EMOTIONAL SIGH] FUCK DUDE!!!
- i have a lot to say abt this book so im going to break my own thread for this
- MAYBE THE REAL REASON WE WENT TO HELL IS THE FRIENDS WE MADE ALONG THE W—
- miss me w the "dark academia fantasy" idt you know what those words mean shut up
