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
free my girl she did all that shit but the fandom is mischaracterizing her for it
reading a fic and they have a canonically repressed character say something directly and proudly
so i was thinking about camilla last night and how she feels after it all. does she feel wronged? she was the deer, the prey, the chased. does she lie awake at night, thinking of the group, knowing that when they sleep and dream of their guilt, they will see her reckoning, pointing at them with blood dripping from her hands? to be a woman in the world of men was the loneliest sin of all. all of them had sinned too, not through the death but also against her. francis, who had stood silently by, henry, who dragged her into the mess and then died, richard, who romanticized but didn't truly care, bunny, who mocked and harassed, and charles. her brother. who abused her and forced her and all the other things, the evil the rot the destruction. ante said that those who sin against whom they must love, those who sin against their family, were th worst sinners. complex fraud, in the 9th circle of hell, and GOD she hoped that it was true, hoped that charles would be there, frozen as a corpse or even being chewed on by lucifer-
at least some nights. others she wished that her brother would come back to her and they could be twins again, best friends. but she knew she could never really forgive, always hating hating hating hating
but shes a sinner too, isn't she? she watched as bunny died, allowed henry to kill himself. her hands are dripping in blood, but its not only her own. the deer had found her, and she was both the predator and one of them one of them one of them one of them one of them
anyways yea i was like up late last night thinking abt this. lmk ur thoughts!
bunny's note to marion really should have been i'll be honest kitten, daddy's friends are about to kill him
pretending i’m camilla macaulay as i write my 7,000 word essay on women in ancient greek mythology for my EPQ
having now actually read the secret history i think it is baffling that this is the book that started the dark academia trend. you guys aren't doing this right at all. the tweed isn't the important part and those motherfuckers barely study. i haven't seen one dark academia influencer mutilate a guy with an axe during a bacchanal.
The Secret History destroyed my life like what do you mean I can't drink wine and study classical literature and spend the nights in a countryside mansion with piano echoing through the dark halls and break through the confines of humanity in a bacchanal and commit a string of murders and try to escape but eventually kill myself in a blaze of glory, ultimately shattering the lives of the people around me? That I can't escape the cognitive mode of experience and transcend the accident of my moment of being? That I can't lose my self, lose it utterly? What do you mean I can't live without thinking?
“studying like henry winter” right so flunking and skipping the sats on purpose and dropping out and doing nothing else but reading for pleasure and generally being a lackluster student
camilla feeling like a deer during the bacchanal and henry accidentally killing a deer is what im thinking about today
i have daydreamed so much about tsh that i have background lore, a family tree, an enemies to lovers timeline and a whole other book written in my head
