@snehasingh | Book first, always 📚

Click here to reply to @snehasingh "Honestly, I would personally always choose to read the book over watching the movie, mainly because I'm a total bibliophile, but also because I love getting lost in pages, imagining everything in my own way. Books have this beautiful way of showing every small detail how a character feels, what they are thinking, and the little things that is happening around them. And you get to feel everything on such a personal level while you are reading a book."

Click here to reply to @ayushirani521 "Fictional character that feels real for me. It has to be Jo March from Little Women because this book by Louisa May Alcott has left a memorable impression upon me personally. I do not like books with moral values, but this book has a wonderful story and it teaches subtly good qualities along the everyday walks of life. I see a bit of myself in Jo as she's an avid reader and I am too."

Click here to reply to @nehalll "This may be real in some scenarios, but to me it doesn't really appeal to the reality in itself because I think even if a person can change, they still hold some values close to them. And the fact that from the first movie, from the first book, he's seen as this fearful boy, right. But in the eighth, eighth part, eighth book, and you can see that he is somebody who is still fearful at times, who is not the most confident of himself."

But he still was very determined about his decision of traveling the world because he knew what he had seen for him and he wanted it so bad that his hunger could not be stopped. He was an amazing person. He was an amazing personality. Maybe if he built a family in the movie, they wouldn't have been that happy with him. But I get inspired by people who live for themselves."

Click here to reply to @DreamInBooks "And honestly, what made a bigger impact than anything else, what really hit me was how Lou struggled with her own dreams, or the lack of them. Like many of us, she just settled in a job because it felt safe, not because it made her happy. Watching her slowly realize that she wanted more out of life, even if she didn't know exactly what more was, it reminded me that it's okay to not have everything figured out."

Click here to reply to @Literario.GLAU "She turns pain into poetry, loneliness into strength, and ordinary life into adventure. Her imagination is her sword, and her heart is her compass. I relate to her because I question. Just like her, she questions the world like I do. She dares to dream big in a world that tells her to stay small. And she doesn't fit in because she's meant to stand out. Ann taught me that being different isn't a weakness, it's a superpower."

Click here to reply to @Chaarvis "The reason why it's impossible to separate the art from the art is is because artists are their art. Everything they create is an extension of themselves and a glimpse into their identity. Ultimately, the debate over separating art from the artist is a deeply personal one, shaped by individual values, beliefs, and experiences. While some may choose to boycott the work of artists whose actions they find unforgivable, others may opt to engage critically with their art

But later I started thinking about the bigger picture, because the prophecy from the Heroes of Olympus talked about an oath with a final breath, which I recall is the fourth line, and. And Jason had also promised Piper that he protect her. And in Trials of Apollo, he dies doing exactly that, fulfilling his oath. And Leo, I mean, think about Leo."

When I came across this prompt, I really thought these are one of the questions that have never been asked out loud and have always ran through our heads once we finish reading a book. And most of the times it's because the ending was too sad or the ending was too vague."

It was one of the most sad books I've ever read. It is where the main character realizes everything a bit too late, where she regains her memories, all her memories a bit too late, and. And there's nothing she can do about it except drown in her own guilt, which was not what she had to go through."

Lockhart. That book broke me. Every time I read it, knowing full well what's coming, I still cry my eyes out. It's just one of those stories that stick with you. The writing is haunting and beautiful. The characters feel so real. And the twist, it hits like a punch to the gut."

Click here to reply to @mrids.reads "This is actually something that I haven't thought about until this question has popped up. Well, of course, if I don't like the way a book ended right after reading, I would be like, why did the author finish it this way? Why couldn't they have done this or that? But then, now thinking about this in a general term of books, this is my official petition to ban happy moments in epilogues of books. I love books with happily ever after."

@MR12 | The damsel in distress trope

Podcast Discontinued ·

2025/05/08

Click here to reply to @MR12 "It certainly tells us that strength, agency and decision making belong to men, while vulnerability and dependence are a woman's default setting. And that's problematic to say the least. Sure, storytelling is full of fantasy and drama, but these tropes spill into real life more than we realize. They shape how society sees women and even how women see themselves."

@MandMWorm | Journey, not Destination

Podcast Discontinued ·

2025/05/07

Click here to reply to @MandMWorm "So the damsel in distress trope is a trope which is as popular as time, so be it stories like fairy tales or Indian mythology, Greek mythology or even action movies. So it's mostly always men saving women. So I think the point is like earlier it was all about gender roles. So like men they do the strong heavy lifting while women were relegated the role of emotional support. But now it has changed so it's not uncool to express emotions anymore."

@Airene | Let's revamp the trope!

2025/05/01

Click here to reply to @Airene "I think the damsel should be in distress. I think the problem with the damsel in distress trope is not that there is distress for the damsel. It is more overarchingly in the idea of there having to be a male counterpart who rescues her out of her distress. As far as we as people in the real world know and understand, we know that most of the times women are plucking themselves out of their problems."

Click here to reply to @TanmayBarri "I think I wouldn't mind it if I saw as many men as a damsel, but we don't. It's historically been used as a tool to show how great men are when he saves a woman. Right. So I think the act of saving someone is inherently judgmental. The savior is higher than the one being saved. So I think it is damaging to any gender because all of us need to be saved at some point. And this trope just makes it difficult to ask for help."

I would allow Augustus space to live a little longer in Hazel's world. And not just in her heart. Because sometimes the greatest tragedy is not that someone is gone but that they left before they could fully live. And Augustus, with all his dreams, his fears and his metaphors, he deserved to live. And Hazel deserved a memory that didn't end in an empty hospital

Firmina smiles, knowing that Florentino's love will forever be intertwined with the river's flow and that their story will continue to unfold in the currents of time."

One where their love evolves beyond hospital visits and support guys and groups. Maybe they travel. Maybe they write a book together. Maybe they become advocates for others fighting similar battles. But they live, they grow, they heal. Not perfectly, but powerfully. Because sometimes fiction is where we seek the justice real life denies us."
