HOFAS spoiler below
why in the FUCK did sjm not pair tharion and ithan? two lost souls, trying to find their place in the world, trying like hell to fix their past mistakes, trying to make things right? It is literally the embodiment of home is person not a place, and I just feel soooooo meh about the female characters that were quite literally written just to give them a love interest. like.... do less, they have each other.
what could have been!!
silliest men ever yeah right "i'm not dying for you" meanwhile theo doing complete reckless shit to keep liam alive

i love graffiti. "comics and jazz are the only american art forms" you forgot graffiti. did you remember graffiti? That art form birthed in Philly and NYC in the early 70s by poor Black kids. that art form that spread all over the world and influenced so many. that's used without irony in commercials when they're trying to appeal to a "young urban" customer.
did you forget graffiti? that racism broken windows theory victim? that reach the establishment takes claiming that it's exclusively violent gang members throwing up those full-color pieces and wildstyle tags in the middle of the night outsmarting fifty security cameras because the billboard was ugly anyway. as if, even if it was, it wouldn't be impressive as all hell. risking brutality and fall damage so your art can occupy the space a gentrified condo named something like "Coluumna" took away from you. proving that despite only assholes affording to live here anymore there's still a soul beneath it. an animal with dripping stripes and teeth that go clack-clack tsssss
I hear your 'theo mentions some horrific bit of past trauma causually' HC and I raise you Liam causually mentioning Theos' past trauma in front of others. Playing 'never have I ever' and Liam goes "never have I ever lost 3 internal organs" and the packs like ?1!?!? while Theo goes 'I don't think it counts as losing them if I know where they are.' "put your fucking finger down I know you have no idea where your kidney went."
this song is so thiam coded i wanna cry i love them 🖇️
see the THING IS I don't feel like I ever worked hard enough to have "earned" the burnout, which is. probably how we got here.
i give you Liam “Passenger Princess” Dunbar; the man absolutely HATES driving and didn’t tell Theo he got his license until 6 months afterwards because he didn’t want to be forced to drive them somewhere and Theo “Chauffeur” Raeken who absolutely HATES when he isn’t in the drivers seat and knew when Liam got his license but didn’t bring it up because he didn’t want Liam to drive them somewhere

Do you think this is something??
I feel like I can hear them both say:
“I fell into a hole!” 🤣
donna tartt was a crazy woman for making julian and henrys relationship mirror that of fuckass aristoteles and alexander the great
julian is essentially just an 80s aristoteles because he lives in solitude, believes in natural hierarchies and aristocracies, places virtue and studies above all, his most famous student — alexander the great — ends up conquering the world and then when said student isnt of use to him anymore he runs away in fear
