You know, Petherbridge would have done well for Prunesquallor.Making Molly choose her Dream Date: Willie Collins vs Mervyn Peake.I’m sorry he’s the death owl sorry everybody.Me: *extremely cheating to the 4th wall even though I am reading a book* The Earl of Gormenghast: I’m the night owl!!.No one warned me reading Gormenghast was gonna throw up this Dido/Aeneas cave thirst trap scene jiggly jesus.This book is so frustrating I’ve spent 100 pages like ‘what if soap?’.Kickstarter to give Gormenghast to the National Trust who’ll fucking clean it.: this is my conclusive proof Prunesquallor has a fake woke twitter account.Relive the process of discovery with me!!
