Mind if I add onto this? Here.
(A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara)
thinking about jeff buckley being asked, "how do you want to be remembered?" and answering with, "as a good friend."
woah careful now. you might end up getting an order from a law professor for bacteria cookies for his wife
okay but getting to see the real bacteria cookies was awesome
i work in a bakery now… hate it and love it when there’s another parallel to jude in my life😍
yeah and who wants to see him find love? who wants to see him get adopted? who wants to see what the other boys in his life do? who cares? he got raped that’s the only valid or worthwhile thing to mention!!!!
tiktok ALL readers when the main character with deeply complex trauma gets triggered by things 😮😮😮
thank u @orpheuslament for showing this shit to us so i could feel smarter .
it’s like have you ever heard of real life before. so many people kill themselves, and the fact that the book isn’t wrapped up in a neat little bow of beginning, conflict and resolution like most books does not mean jude is bad representation. it demonstrates an anti brain function ideology that actually makes me go crazy… say you didn’t like it because you want everyone to be happy ever after! guess what! suicide doesn’t make sense, and thousands of people never get a happy ever after.
people in the a little life tag being like "jude st francis is bad representation because there is no moral resolution for his trauma" i am BEGGING you to shut the fuck up
he missed his brother 💔💔💔 NO NO NO NO
so i DID just have to stifle a scream whilst crying about willems last thoughts. i feel sick 😆
guys should i re read ALL or am i asking for a winter suicide attempt
cooper koch would be SO GOOD as willem that being said i actually hope the book is never adapted for the screen
“Cooper Koch omg he would be perfect!!!!!”
Surely they mean for Willem, right?
Their (the boys in the hood) last canonical hangout all together was in April
I DIDNT NEED TO SEE THIS !
the fact that jude willem jb + macolm were never able to all be together again… they hung out for the last time and didn’t know it! they’ll never be able to argue about silly things in their dorms anymore what if i killed myself
willem a truck behind YOU💜
jude when he used to swim so he wouldn’t relapse:
june 12 today. i wish jude knew how loved he really was
my new advanced higher english teachers fav book is a little life. it’s going to be a good year i fear
guess where i was today
yeah there’s no way
jude in dear comrade:
i have arrived in new york and i found the american ver of a little life… WHO WAS GOING TO TELL ME THE SYNOPSISES ARE DIFFERENT?
sharks i’m asking you to resurrect jude and willem. now .
yeah jude u right it was a miracle to survive the unsurvivable
BOOKTOK GIRLIES!!! what is the ✨spice✨ level of this book? 😂🩷
i feel like jude would love easter. he would make cakes and gift eggs. HIM AND THE BOYS PAINTING EGGS. fresh daffodils in the apartment… god
going to nyc in may for the first time ever do u guys understand how deeply annoying i’m gonna be. i’ll be posting like omg on the subway this is literally a little life :3 visiting lispenard too god ur all going to be sick of me
do u understand how fucking deeply upset it makes me when i remember that anytime i say “a little life” people r gonna think im talking about “i think i like this little life :3” PLEASE NO
i think about jude’s biological parents everyday actually. why did they leave him? did they regret it? did they wonder if he’d been successful? (he was) did they wonder if he’d actually even survived?
i was looking for a specific part of a little life and i was flipping through my copy and suddenly just read “Limes” and i fucking jumped and had to walk away
