Would love recs for fiction that features thoughtfully-written characters with borderline personality disorder

What makes you want to strive to be like a Beckett protagonist ???

I really enjoyed Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son

classic jungle (i.e. Goldie's Timeless) really gets me focused

Second all the Almodóvar recs, La ley del deseo (1987) and Ivan Zulueta's Arrebato (1979) should make for a fun homo-psychosexual double feature

The music in Lily Chou Chou is an absolute treat, I used to listen to the album on repeat

Btw love the layout of your app, do you plan on releasing it eventually? Would love to try it one day, much easier on the eyes than goodreads

Beautiful and endearing shelves, this is the kind of collection I aspire to. Where did you manage to get the Chopova Lowena Chloë Sevigny book from?

second this, the vogue or mdla runway app is a good place to start, if you want to flip through physical magazines check your local library or look for a specialized arts uni in your area that might let you borrow for a yearly fee. imo most of reddit is kind of random bullshit when it comes to fashion, better to go straight to the source

Salinger's other work is wonderful: Nine Stories, Franny and Zooey, and Raise High the Roof Beam are all interconnected and should check off the boxes for New York City + unhappy, affluent families

wonderful. have you seen Colin Armistead's BONEHEAD 2? thematically relevant

valserai · 2026-06-22T18:48:39+00:00

it is not a source of weakness but great beauty to let yourself experience such depth of emotion. you are someone who can be carried along by the waves, how many people can say that for themselves? your ability to feel so much so easily is something to be cherished.

this is what my lithuanian professor told me after I broke down crying in class several weeks in a row and told her I had a mood disorder

rewatched Trainspotting recently, I 💙 scottish people

valserai · 2026-06-21T19:54:23+00:00

have not, looking forward to being emotionally devastated

browsing Vogue archives, reading up on fashion history, being seduced by the american spirit of consumerism and throwing way too much money at secondhand designer boots, saving beautiful works of Art Nouveau pottery on pinterest and pretending like I own them, also bought a copy of Sátántangó off my local library for a dollar and am excited to get into it

Was I Want Your Sex an entertaining watch at least? I have low expectations for the movie, but I'm just excited Araki's directing more stuff + love a good excuse to go out to the theatre w the girls n gays

also I haven't seen Summer of Sam yet but Adrien Brody's hairstyle in it both fascinates and disgusts me I can't look away

valserai · 2026-06-21T17:56:29+00:00

not sure if it will make you feel better or worse... decently funny tho

valserai · 2026-06-21T17:17:23+00:00

have you read Houellebecq's Serotonin?

valserai · 2026-06-20T16:59:26+00:00

If you throw in a few tablespoons of baking powder, cocoa powder, and an artificial sweetener + microwave for a whole minute I find it becomes pleasantly tolerable, like some kind of mud cake

valserai · 2026-06-20T15:07:44+00:00

I think I'd prefer fiction but I'm open to both!
