– – – – – ✮⋆˙ [ boreo fanart ] – – [ intro : - privyet!! (i cant get the russian keyboard to work, but im learning russian now guys because of the goldfinch..... anyways) - i was listening to tcoptp and i needed something to do so i decided to draw and i began drawing theo and boris. surprise surprise – – [ art - i wanted to do this scene from the book because it sounded really cool and i found the perfect reference for it so..... - I LOVE BOREO!!!!!!! sorry i had to get that out - i got my friend into the goldfinch because i kept yapping about them..... boreo saved lives - i really like this piece...?!? i keep trying to change my rendering style but i cant help itttt ugghhh i like how this came out tho - i included my references i used guys !!!!! also there is a boreo easter egg in the background sprite hahaha ✮ WARNING SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!!! rant; - at the end of the book i was SO scared that one of them was going to (unalive) and every few pages i was waiting for something bad to happen but then,.... it didnt??? the ending was a tad confusing i thinkk, i want to see more of boreo like what happened to them??!?! but at the same time when theo was about to.... yeah... i was like OH MY GOD ITS HAPPENING NOOOOOO and then he woke up and i was like oh cool i guess. i think it might have been more powerful if theo did.. yeah.... but i like how he beat the cycle of unaliveness that ones he loved had to deal with. - i can resonate (not relate, i dont relate) with theo so much, he is so well written imo, as all of donna's characters are. i totally get him, and i therefore understand the reasons behind his actions. he is one of my fav characters, as well as boris (who i am learning russian because of!!!!!) - boreo have such an interesting relationship that i think is partly toxic, but they are so deeply connected to each other that they cant help but love parts of each other. their dynamic is one i havent seen either in a while or ever, and it is so refreshing - the overall vibes of this book is amazing. i love it so much. its so cozy and i feel like im there at the shop or by the pool at night or wandering the rainy streets of new york. like guys cmon this is such an incredible book with such an immersive feel to it, i felt like i was h!gh when reading it icl - this book made me feel. i am not joking -- it left me with such a big view on life and such understanding for the world around me that interacting with my family and friends left me empty, like i was on another planet to them. i didnt want to off myself because i hated the earth, or anythign like that (i am NOT in danger. do NOT worry for me. seriously /gen) but more i was upset with how limiting our life is, to only one body and one life. like, what???? i want to feel everything all at once. i want to be reincarnated forever. so, i didnt want to un-al!v3 (live less), rather i wanted to live more, like upgrading my life. does that make sense? probably not im sorryughh i think thats all i have to say (for now). donna tartt i love your books rerrdauuahhhh – – – – –
