this. The height meme is just another incel fantasy, just another shitty cope for being a boring and/or awful person. It's only short men who are obsessed with height, women don't give a shit. Sure, being tall isn't exactly detrimental. But it really doesn't matter all that much.

This is not aesthetic because of the way he sits in the chair. He looks intense like a romantic and that would be good except that he's in a cozy chair. If he's going to brood he should be on a minimal chair but since he's on a cozy chair he should be at peace. Also he's sitting sideways in the chair. Overall, do better next time. I love you.

He did have a big ego and some masculine bravura but he was also really really good as a writer. He had some stinkers for sure, Across the River and Into the Trees for example. But holy shit good Hemingway is amazing. He's imitated a lot, but in his lane, he's not been surpassed yet.

No one becomes a prophet in their own land, especially if that land is Sweden. Every Swedish writer of merit has gone into exile, because, quite literally, only one thought is allowed to exist at a time in this country. Everything outside of the established "common sense" is anathema.
