reading beowulf bc it feels important to do so and i never had to in school, but it’s so incredibly boring to me i’m trying to find ways to trick myself into caring

there's a movie that makes grendel's mom hot and has comically placed objects blocking beowulf's dick when he's naked on screen. it's also all cg or something lol

Not everything that is consider classic is good. And not everything that is good is classic. If you gave it a solid try, there is no shame in putting it aside.

are you reading a translation or the raw Old English?

Try John Gardner’s Grendel, told from the monster’s point of view.
