Characters that fascinate me:
1. Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter): after re-reading HP again, I started to put more effort on dissecting the interactions between Dumbledore and other people, especially Harry and Snape. Dumbledore's strategies, plans and the use of emotions of other people for his favours and for the greater good is for me unlike what most people consider, admirable. I have heard many people mention the fact they hate Dumble's because he is "evil", I like morally grey characters and the fact is Dumbledore's actions were not evil in any way. Did he raise Harry to die? Yes. But that doesn't mean he did that for fun (or ounce presented a way to save Harry he didn't make sure to prevent his death). Every step Dumbledore took was to defeat Voldy in the end, who was committing mass genocide. To prevent deaths of hundreds, thousands of people, it was okay for him to sacrifice certain people (mostly Himself, Harry and Snape). I also think Dumbledore could or should have been in Ravenclaw or Slytherin because his qualities matches those houses more than Gryffindor (also can you imagine how conflicting it would have been for Harry if Dumbledore causally mentions he is a Slytherin or if he was a Ravenclaw there could have been more characters in that house than Quirrell and Lockhart of all people)
2. Β Daria Morgendorffer (Daria): if there was a character that I could relate to the most, it's her. Daria's cynical outlook, her quick wit, her quotes are so entertaining to watch. Its really amazing to be able to have a character that represents the perceptions of the quiet kids. As one of them, Daria is the representation of rebellion against the power hungry, capitalistic and tone deaf world we live in.
3. Amy Dunne (Gone Girl): this woman sacres me. She is the epitome of the perfectly imperfect villainous yet fascinating character that captures your attention. She is a psychopath. She is a liar. She is deranged. And I can't help liking her as a complex person.
4. Wanda Maximoff (Wandavison): from her ability to manipulate the minds of all the original avengers (except Hawkeye) in age of Ultron to her batshit crazy powers in multiverse of madness (including the fact defeating the entire illuminati while dream walking), Wanda had come far from being just another avenger to one of most powerful beings in the current MCU. And all of that due to a mother's love, shows you how powerful loss and love can be.
5. L. Lawliet (Death Note): world's top three detectives, the boy who stopped WW3 as a kid, the blueprint for Wammy's house, the deductive genius who almost captured the worst serial killer in history. L will never cease to be interesting. His backstory reveals that L was always the best, no matter if he could defeat Light Yagami or not (he sort of did defeat Light as he knew Light was Kira the 1st time he met him). The most interesting aspect of L is how neutral his moral ideals are, on one hand he spends all this time (literally, as he doesn't sleep) to solve the Kira case, on the other hand he isn't reluctant to play with people's emotions and sacrifice certain people to reach his end goals. While L is the antagonist, everyone loves him as the hero to Light's protagonist villain. I do love L as much as the next person; what I love more than that is how he is just as morally grey as Light but stays on the grey part and never becomes the villain he could be, something that Light became.
6. Allison Dilaurentis (Pretty Little Liars): in my opinion, the most evil of the onscreen Mean girls (except for Courtney Shane and Chanel Oberlin). Allison in the first few seasons was the most fascinating aspect of the show, the sheer power she holds in Rosewood, the way she manipulates all her friends, the way she could destroy lives of anyone she wants is the best part of her character. But after her return from the "dead" she became kinda boring and not the fantastic villain we wished she was. Like, they could have made Aria "A" instead of evil British cousin and made Allison the one controlling Aria, as it was clear Aria was hiding something about herself, the show also gave many clues about her and she seemed be the person Allison liked the most among the liars (she also got the least torment from Allison as well as A). It makes sense if they were both working together. But no, that's too predictable! You have to pull the evil twin plot for shock value!!!!
7. Regulus Black (Harry Potter): he is the best example of a good Slytherin (*ahem* Snape *ahem*). The best thing about his arc is he used to be a death eater but changed sides after knowing how shitty Voldy is, protected his house elf and sacrificed his life for the world. And had a better reason for changing sides than someone very similar to him (*ahem* Snape *ahem*)
Ps: I did not die. Next time.
First time reading The Secret History: A tragedy
Re-reading The Secret History: A comedy
I was laughing so hard when Bunny asked Henry what they all were doing up there, and FREAKING Henry Winter just says "Why, looking for new ferns"
He didn't have to say anything to Bunny. But Henry had to be dramatic before pushing his "best friend" to his death didn't he?
Henry Winter had a chance to be poetic and he was.
You walk alone in your life, no one matters but you. Fuck everyone who has done anything harmful to you, they will only get satisfaction if you choose to make your life miserable because of them. There are 8 billion people on earth, and you are stuck with people you hate, but that doesn't matter because there are so many wonderful people you have never met. Life is a journey, there will be crossroads, and you have to trust your own feet and not follow someone's else's footprint. No matter if anyone else believes in you or not, you don't need their approval or validation to live. You have to let people go who don't give you their time or ears, those people who only talk to you when they need your help. You have to move on from negativity to become an actual individual with their own thoughts. Do not take extreme steps, don't make permanent solution to a temporary problem. Things are as they are and you have no control over them but on how you react to them. We know things can go wrong but that doesn't mean we cannot improve.

I wish I could read for longer but my habit is dying away~~~
There are so many details in this one book that it makes complete sense why Donna Tartt took a decade to write it
I can analyse it for a decade and still not understand everything and know every detail ππππ
The setting of TSH confused me at first. I thought it was taking place in the 50s as Richard's language sounded very pretentious. Then there's no mention of any pop culture making it hard to pin point which decade it takes place in. Then slowly we start to see that it's not that old with more mentions of new things. Despite that I wasn't sure when it was happening until I found out that Henry didn't knew that moon landing actully happened so it was probably in the 70's or 80's.
I wish Henry had lived long enough to find out there's 8 planets not 9. He reminds me a bit of Sherlock and how neither of them concerned themselves with whatever was happening in the world and cared about only what they thought was important.
ENTP: you know I am getting bored, wanna rob banks or something?
INFJ: that is your first response to getting bored?
ESTP: it's not like we haven't done it before.
INFP: you have robbed banks before?
ESTJ: I stopped them before they could. Don't know what they will do if I am not there.
INTP: *whispers* have some real fun for ounce
ENTP: INTJ what do you think about robbing a bank?
ISFJ: obviously, he doesn't think it's a good thing!
INTJ: not really, in this money hungry capitalistic world, robbing a bank doesn't feel like a bad idea. Maybe we can start a revolt.
ESTP, ENTP: yeah rebellion!
INTP: I don't know. I am bored too but a rebellion will be too much work and people
INFP: I don't think......you know what fuck yeah!
ISFJ: you kids are really childish
ESTJ: that's why I am their babysitter.
(PS: really sorry if any other got left out, I was writing these on top of my head so I don't know if there's more. Feel free to comment if you know any other siblings/sibling-ish dynamic I left out!)
I am so sorry for not putting ESTJ, ISTJ and ESTP, but there was only space for 12!!!!
You can always comment if you like any of those three with INTP.
Personally I don't think they will work out with INTP (as an INTP myself, I am not fond of people with those types that much....so)
Atsushi: I am really sorry for your loss little girl π
Aya: why do my dad's keep dying
Atsushi: oh....did you have two dads?

Atsushi: h-how did that happen
Aya: I have a biological dad, who was the worst thing in my life
Atsushi: oh sorry
Aya: then I got Kunikida and things were okay for while, then he died.
Atsushi, tears forming: yes I just saw that π
Aya: Bra-chan became my dad too, he thinks I remind him of his daughter
Atsushi: awww π₯Ί
Aya: he was killed by Dosto-whatever-his-name-is in front of me
Atsushi: not him too
Aya: then the Dosto-person became my new dad, which I didn't consent to, he took Bra-chan's body!
Atsushi: this cannot get weirder
Aya: after all that Bra-chan came back to life for a min and gave me a new dad to replace him
Atsushi: and who's that?
Akutagawa: Princess, I brought your favourite doughnuts!
Atsushi: A-Akutagawa? What are you---
Aya: Oh here he is my new dad
Atsushi: you are a dad now?
Akutagawa: yes, it just happened recently. Jinko we have a child now.
Atsushi: W-We what?
