I love the “cubitum eamus?” exchange in the text of The Secret History, however I think Donna Tartt really elevated the line with her delivery of it in the audiobook. “Are you the new neanias?” is mocking and flirtatious the emphasis on “young man.” Richard’s response is almost gravelly. The “cubitum eamus?” is more serious. The almost singsongy tone she gives Francis on “Nothing.” It makes the whole scene read as lighter and more playful than it does strictly as words on the page. You can interpret it as flirtation even without knowing what the Latin means. It shows the fine distinction between Francis’ elitist disdain and genuine interest. Donna Tartt deserves more hype for the quality of her narration in the audiobook of her own novel. There is a reason it so frequently gets clipped out as audios.

repeat after me.. camilla macaulay was masc

🗣️🗣️CAMILLA MACAULAY WAS MASC ‼️‼️💥

Richard being a flirty drunk. <3

To Camilla at a party:

“‘Hello,’ I said, trying to be nonchalant but delighted and beaming down at her all the same. ‘How are you? What are you doing here? Can I get you a drink?’”

To Henry, when he saw him gardening:

“I let myself in through the side gate. I was quite drunk. ‘Hello,’ I said, ‘hello, hello, hello.’”

Bonus, when he was high off Demerol, and Francis walked in:

“I was so glad to see him I felt like laughing, and I was so doped up I probably did. ‘François,’ I said idiotically.”

Also, that time he was at that party and he realizes just how much fun everyone outside the Greek class is. And he’s like a little bit in love with everybody there:

“I noted a strange beauty in the faces of people previously repulsive to me. I smiled at everyone and everyone smiled back.”

The reason I'm shaking my head at Richard is that he should've learnt his lesson in school, not during his second shot at studying in college. Trying to fit into an aloof, mysterious group because you think you're more mature and deeper than everybody else, only to find out that the group in question is not that cool and they only hang out because they're insufferable to everyone else, not exclusive. That's typical middle school experience right there.

One guy desperately trying to squeeze into the group, a homophobe who everyone calls queer, a girl and a boy who have a secret code of communicating, another one who's blatantly gay, one that you can tell will grow up to have an addiction...

There was "the Greek class" in every school.

dare I say henry winter died a virgin

how i managed to shift 62 times

This is my go to method that I use most times I shift. I shift using sleep paralysis about 4 times a week and successfully. I like this method because it puts me in the thoughtless state which allows me to shift and allows me to focus. You don’t need to focus to shift but when I don’t I tend to just not want to shift anymore because I’m so consumed with other thoughts. This is not the void, however. I first shifted with this about four years ago, and have shifted with this method about 62 times that I consciously remember.

Step one: I can’t focus at all when I close my eyes and even if I do it in the day I take a nap. So for whatever reason I put my feet up on the wall. And I shifted the first time I tried. This helps me because even when I do nod off I wake up not long after. And I can actually focus on where I want to go. So I put my feet up usually with a blanket covering my legs and feet. It doesn’t have to be super high up where you’re uncomfortable. Just something even slightly raised helped me lots. I usually stay still because it puts my body to sleep and calms me. But you don’t have to if it’s too uncomfortable.

Step two: Oh, I’m usually listening to a playlist that reminds me of the place I’m shifting to or a moment or memory from my dr. That way I’m not scared by the silence when the sleep paralysis kicks in. Play it quietly so you don’t get annoyed and pick songs that aren’t too distracting. It should just kind of blend in the background. Then I start thinking about memories of my dr and moments. Usually in first person unless I’m looking at photos in my memories. If I nod off, I usually wake up from the unusual position and begin affirming naturally.

Step three: I usually forget I’m affirming and just shift immediately. I open my eyes and then I’m there. Or I get sleep paralysis where I affirm and think I’m there. And I wake up in my dr pretty soon after.

I’ve never failed with this method because I think it just fits well with me. It’s loosely structured and hits all my strengths in visualization, affirmations and so on. So I’d try this for three nights and if it doesn’t work. Apply what did and drop what didn’t. Anyways I’m so excited to shift for the summer to Okinawa. I think this one is just going to be a solo adventure with me and my five dogs. I might permashift from there but I don’t know yet. Does anyone else like to shift for holidays?

Happy shifting lovelies, you got this!

You wanna know my theory? Julian played a bigger part than Richard understood. The classics club was Julian’s own personal Greek story. He’s built these young adults up until they thought of themselves as better, he was selective and chose only students whose parents/situations were vulnerable. They treated him as if he was their god, and for Henry I think he was his favorite as all stories have one. He slowly pulled their strings, made them think they were smart and clever making the decisions and choices they did. The incest, the murder, the damn bacchanal of course the creations can’t hide from their creator. Julian knew they killed Bunny, I think he even gave himself a way out (the letter), abandoning them after they thought they were safe as his own twisted retribution or punishment.
