DoloresHaze55: which one?
Alipotato: lit
DoloresHaze55: is this what brown kids do? speak in short, cryptic sentences so their friends become infuriated?

Alipotato: and lit crits compare the protagonist to candide

DoloresHaze55: harold bloom would be ashamed of me
Alipotato: he'd be ashamed of everyone
Alipotato: and then he'd touch you inappropriately
Alipotato: such as Harold Bloom does
DoloresHaze55: but i like to think that one day harold bloom wouldn't be ashamed of me, but rather approve of the deep love i have for the western canon of literature as he has re-written it, respect my writing, and then touch me inappropiately
Alipotato: hahahaha
