omg i started watching the queens gambit with my dad and i know im like 2 years late but we're obsessed w it 😭 he likes it a lot more than i thought he would. he used to be like really good at chess in highschool so it's funny to see him get so excited over it. we're on ep 3 rn so no spoilers
It’s an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it. I can dominate it. and it’s predictable, so if I get hurt, I only have myself to blame.
Men are gonna come along and wanna teach you things. Doesn’t make them any smarther. In most ways, they’re not, but it makes them feel bigger. They can show you how things are done. You just let them blow by, and you go on ahead, and do just what the heel you feel like. It takes a strong woman to stay by herself, in a world that people will settle for anything, just to say they have something.
I have been learning Russian for two and a half months ("I wanna read Dostoyevsky in the original" - the queen's gambit) and it's such a simple language, apart from the pronouns.
Pronouns are horrible in Russian :(
Stay yourself, stay curious
