“It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrown I back, throat to the stars, "more like deer than human being." To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.” ― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

a small little thought about bunny corcoran because i'm thinking about him right now. i know there's a handful of bunny lovers on this app (myself included), but i find it devastating that, in a way, every interpretation of his character is only that—an interpretation. we will never know who bunny really was because he himself doesn't even know.
there's a line in the book that's really stuck with me, where richard states how the less you know bunny, the more you feel like you do. and that perfectly explains the kind of person bunny is. he doesn't have a defined identity, and so much of him is repressed. he has lived his life the way he thinks he should, not the way he wants. he was never given the choice to pick what he wanted.
that's why he's attached so much of his identity to henry. down to wearing the same glasses he does and changing his major. he wants to be Someone so badly, even if that someone isn't him.
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
Not Richard trying so hard to conceal how much money he really has only for Henry to turn around and tell him that literally everyone in the group is broke 💀💀
If you follow the steps thoroughly then you WILL get into the void state. + i also manifested it will get everyone into the void state. This challenge will put an end to your procrastination and will get you the most perfect mindset that you will result in you getting straight into the void.♡
♡ STEP 1: Set an official date for when you are going to get into the void state. Once you've set the date you CANNOT change it. Once the date is officially set, it's set. No mind changing, no procrastinating. No doubting. No putting it off. That is the day. You do not have to set a time, you can go in anytime during that day. But if you want to set a time, you 100% can, but once you've set a time you can't change it or remove it, just like you can't change the date.
♡ STEP 2: Live as though you are a master at the void state. Your mindset should be the exact same mindset as someone who has entered the void state many times and has gotten all of their desires. No need to stress over techniques. All you need to do is wake up in the morning, remember that you are a master at the void state and that you are going to get into the void state on your designated day. Feeling the happiness that the void state is so easy and that you are a master at it. Vaunting about how wonderful it is to be able to get into the void state whenever you want. Vaunting about how wonderful it is to have your desires.
Once your mind has been saturated and your official date arrives, you will get into the void state. Now go get your desires. You deserve them.♡

What if I changed Henry's (and Bunny's) glasses so they're a bit more accurate...
for the holidays, how do you think the secret history characters would road rage? I think Henry would discreetly eye the driver he’s on the road with and mutter something foul in a different language.
