I’m Watching Tgf And Tom Cable Literally Says “my Mom Blew Up Over That Shit Too” About The Cigarettes

I love thinking about the goldfinch's religious symbolism

Theo's name meaning "God's gift"

Boris introducing Theo as "Fyodor" to people the night they meet again, name which means the same thing

Still, Boris rarely uses the name Theo, preferring nicknames instead

The Goldfinch being wrapped by Theo like "a Christmas present"

The Goldfinch returning on Christmas

The Goldfinch being described as something "immortal" as long there were people that loved it

Boris converting to different religions solely because of people

Like Islam because the people were nice to him

When he tattooed David's star because he wanted to work for a Jewish man

When he loves Dostoyevsky's philosophy on orthodoxy

at the same time, he can't manage to be a good man or follow through with any of them

like when he starts drinking and leaves Islam because of that

theo decker is like "i will only pursue romantic relationships that are doomed to fail. the only two women i love are shallow projections of my own trauma, and cannot love me back. i will self-sabotage by entering loveless relationships with emotionally distant women. the last time i felt true love for another person was with my childhood best friend. i am a heterosexual."

a novel about falling in love in the desert doing drugs and commiting art crimes is something that can be so personal

people literally make it their job to tell me the goldfinch is boring. GIRL I KNOW ITS BORING…… im talking about the goldfinch me and the besties made up on tumblr

NEVER be vulnerable. FLUSH your medication down the toilet. LIE when people ask how you’re doing. SUPPRESS your feelings. ALWAYS be irritable and abrasive. MAKE SURE you push away anyone who’s close to you. CANCEL your therapy appointment.

I’ve never been to Las Vegas because I’m scared of becoming gay
