‘the Slow Burn Will Make You Insane’ God Forbid A Woman Has Hobbies

unpopular opinion but the secret history should not be turned into a movie like ever

somehow, it was meant to be a book and that’s it.

that’s the hill i will die on

rip bunny corcoran you would have loved hearing carnival at a frat party

One thing i can yap and yap on about for ages is the fact that the greek class cant for the life of them grasp the fact that bunny is upset by the murder of the farmer

When henry is telling the story of the bacchanal to richard, he says bunny couldnt understand how serious the situation was because he was freaking out which is funny, because he was the only one who understood

Henry also said that bunny wasnt upset about the murder but rather about the fact that theyd gone without him, and that he couldn't possibly care that theyd killed a man because he wasnt "exactly the most moral man" as if u needed to be fucking gandhi to realize that killing someone is wrong

When bunny started acting out they were all convinced he was doing it out of spite or to get under their skin, completely ignoring the signs that showed he was having a complete nervous breakdown and was slowly losing his mind because of what they had done

This is because they themselves did not see the act as something that was morally wrong, but rather an inconvenience for them. Like francis said, it wasnt voltaire they killed. They were so out of touch with reality that they lived not in this world but in one where morality doesnt exist, one they are the center of where the gods personally descend to be by their side. They lived in their ancient tales and greek poems. Bunny was the only one who was grounded and they cant understand that. It doesnt even begin to cross their minds. And its the same with bunnys death, they dont care about the morality of it because in their mind they are closer to gods than to humans and gods do whatever they please. They can kill a farmer and who cares? Its not like he was voltaire. They can kill their friend and who cares? Heroes kill and heroes die all the time.

this distance between them and the real world is the most important part of their characters because it explains everything else, from the incest to henrys suicide. Bunny was the only one who was rooted to reality which is what always set him apart from the rest and most importantly why things started to spiral out of control as soon as they killed him. He was their anchor to the real world and to sanity.

Richard Papen going from not much of a meat eater and giving his lamb chops to Bunny at the beginning of the book to wolfing down Camilla’s room service lamb chops at the end is probably a metaphor I’m too stupid to figure out

To be honest if I saw Henry Winter on campus and he walked past me I’d mumbled ‘smash’ just so he could gave me a weird look and he’ll think about me for the rest of his day.

I’m gonna be so real some of you just need to lock in and stop trying to find excuses not to apply.

You don’t need any more information, stop scrolling.

You already know what it is you need to do.

So just decide.

Decide you have what you want RIGHT NOW and don’t let anything break you from that resolve. You have it right now.

Persist in the knowing that you have what you want.

Just lock in. Stop waiting. Stop living your old story.

sorry guys but richard is absolutely insufferable to me. the way he spoke abt his ex gf had me raising my eyebrows cus liiikeee

hate to break it to u babe but you’re literally her in a different font

this is style is so cool oh my days

Ok scanned my sketchbook here's some Secret History crap from what I've found

girlhood means wanting to be like henry winter but ending up being a mix of francis abernathy and richard papen

henry winter is like my anti-blorbo. he's a freak and has committed atrocities and is emotionally stunted. talking about him, reading fanfic, making art and mashing his face together with other characters like dolls makes me happy. however, i do not want to wrap him in a blanket and give him the world and defend his actions. i love to hate him. i think he should kill himself
