The Metamorphosis - Blog Posts
Loving the dungeon meshi anime so far! The manga is one of my favorite of all time and I encourage everyone to read it
My two thoughts while reading The Metamorphosis, by Franz Kafka
1: wow, this is a beautifully tragic story on what it means to become βuselessβ in the eyes of society despite so wanting to be a part of it and it is a critique on how we do not shame others for choosing not to work but once one is unable to, they loose all inherent value in our minds and are diminished to being simply, a pest.
2: I wanna scurry around like a little cockroach under furniture
"mutuals can ask for discord" mutuals can haunt me after they die. mutuals can paint my immortal youth in a cursed portrait. mutuals can build a 8ft tall creature in my college dorm. mutuals can watch me wake up as a monstrous vermin. mutuals can feed me soup after i commit murder. mutuals can help me kill uncle claudius. mutuals can go out with me and my girlfriend from across the bay. mutuals can hunt the beast with me. do better
I find it interesting how metamorphosis is less about the nature of gregor samsa's "horrific" transformation and more so about the social response to it and yet the transformation and the terror it elicits is what popular culture fixates on: in a sense we kind of assume the role of the outside characters in lamenting samsa's "loss of humanity" when the story is very much about how human he remains despite the people around him thinking otherwise

Sigmund Freud, Franz Kafka and Bret Easton Ellis would have the most insane blunt rotation known to man.

I love Franz Kafka with all my heart! β‘
I am autumn in a tropical country.
I struggle with my identity when you paint me all orange and brown from memory. You make me miss a place I have never lived in, a place you had to leave to find me.
"I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself."

My sis showed my a Pokemon TTRPG and came up with a character idea she knew I would like.
