Smth about Winston Smith from 1984 is so squishable. I want to hold him in my fist and squeeze really tight. I have absolutely no idea why. Is it just me?

“My poor baby. My poor sweet little boy,” I lament out loud over a whole grown adult man who is not mine but is in fact a fictional character with fictional hurts. What matters is my feelings are real

Y'all, if you haven't listened to the audible version of 1984 with Andrew Garfield and Andrew Scott.... DO IT NOW!

They are both such brilliant actors and the whump *whimpers* is sooooo good. I'm not a big audiobook person, but Andrew Garfield whimpering and getting tortured (it's incredible), Andrew Scott being a twisted villain, and the loyalty to the actual book is phenomenal.

So please go listen. You won't be disappointed.

God he’s such a bastard (affectionate)

Quote and character from the book "1984" by George Orwell

POV you are Winston

"democracts always say that this election is the most important one yet" yes because we're in the flaggy bit of the history book that could either end with "end of american democracy, lead up to war world iii" or "tensions fizzle, beginning of post trump restoration" depending on how you vote. like every election since 2016 has been "the most important election yet" because trump won in 2016 and trump has made his desire to be a dictator clear.

in fact, i don't think 2008 or 2012 were given the same weight of "this is the most important election ever" because we were not living in the dangerous time of a dictator literally trying to take over the united states
