Doomed yaoi being normal for once and a meme that made me laugh outloud like a dumbass when I imagined it

LOOK AT HIM.

The only important rap beef is Rousseau vs Voltaire

Summer had been calm and I’ve just been printing phone cases… except that I also reread F & V’s letters while (tried to) read (part of) Christiane Mervaud’s study of the letters and it was a blast. The book gives many, many incredible literary and psychological insights. it kind of made me rethink about fritztaire. Bitterness and arguments are so delicious for me as reader but they did hurt them deeply, and are part of the reason why Voltaire stepped away for 4 years from 1760. But the relationship between these two is like a tree that grew from mutual admiration, then intertwined with flaws and pettiness, coped with events of the world, lost some of the original color, while continuing to spiral upwards and span intellectually, to last 42 years and to BE THEM, TOGETHER. after all admiration and attraction was in the root.

Also I’m so grateful for the author to highlight that it was Wilhelmine who made the correspondence in 1757-58 possible, or better it was a three way correspondence. Been trying to collect the letters to actually reflect this!

The letters themselves on the other hand are light and witty and fun (except a few years’) and some passages are wilder than fanfics I still have a hard time grasping their realness? Such a treasure trove. can’t believe it’s my 4th year as a fv shipper and I am still rambling about them daily :-)))))))
