masterofmidgets: (curious nightwing)
Proof that we are serious students of classic English literature:

[personal profile] masterofmidgets: Tolstoy/Chekhov
[personal profile] colourofsaying: definitely
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: Chekhov hero-worhipped Tolstoy!
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: and the first time they met, there was naked swimming
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: according to my professor
[personal profile] colourofsaying: ...Naked swimming, eh?
[personal profile] colourofsaying: Tell me more
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: so, Chekhov totally worshipped Tolstoy, so much that he was afraid to meet him, even though people kept trying to introduce them. And finally they were just like, No, he is a famous writer, you are a writer, go!
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: so he went to Tolstoy's estate, where Tolstoy hung out gardening and making boots and doing...whatever manly Russian peasant men do
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: and he gets there, and Tolstoy isn't around, so he goes wandering off looking for him on the estate, because he's got to be somewhere
[personal profile] colourofsaying: ...doing whatever manly Russian peasant men do?
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: and finally he gets to this pond that Tolstoy has on his property, and there is Tolstoy, in his peasant clothes because apparently that's what Tolstoy wore
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: and Tolstoy is like, I'm going swimming, want to join me?
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: and just strips
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: and Chekhov...does
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: so they have their first conversation as famous Russian writers naked and neck deep in water
[personal profile] colourofsayingr: AWESOME
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: my professor didn't mention the part where there was manly Russian sex, but I choose to make my own assumptions
[personal profile] colourofsaying: That's what manly Russian peasant men do!
[personal profile] colourofsaying: Each other!
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: *ded*
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: theirloveissofacialhair
[personal profile] colourofsaying: You do realize I automatically put Nietzche in when you said that?
[personal profile] colourofsaying: He's who I think of when I think facial hair
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: AUGH
[personal profile] colourofsaying: GOD
[personal profile] colourofsaying: BEARD THREESOME OF ICK
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: EWEWEW
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: AND NOW I'M THINKING OF TROY
[personal profile] colourofsaying: eeeeeeeeeew
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: GREEK BEARD-FIGHTING
[personal profile] masterofmidgets: Nietchze/Chekhov/Tolstoy, threeway beard battle
