Oliver Marks - Blog Posts

What if we unexpectedly kissed on the stage while performing King Lear before I confessed to the crime you'd committed and went to jail comparing our story to Romeo and Juliette?... Jk.. Unless?..

Oliver, the dysfunctional bisexual

Every scene between James and Oliver is either romantic or angsty (sometimes both). It makes me feel butterflies and wanting to rip my eyes out at the same time.

Idc what happened in the end, James and Oliver lived happily ever after in their cottagecore home with their books and cats.

(I am delusional for them)

Oliver: there's someone I like, since years and I finally want to confess....

James: I love you too

Oliver: what?

James: you said you were confessing

Oliver: I was talking about confessing to Meredith

James: oh...okay *stares at Meredith* I hate you sooooo much, bitch.

James giving Oliver a "not so brotherly kiss": YES GO!!!!! I AM SO HAPPY! FINALLY! MY SHIP HAS SAILED!

Charles giving Camilla a "not so brotherly kiss": ........WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BOOK

You know you are invested in a book when you feel jealousy with the main character, when you have a breakdown when they do, when you get anxious when they are, when you feel the love for their love interest as much as they do, when you cry for them and smile with them and then the book ends and you feel an empty void as if life had stopped.

The Secret History × If We Were Villains

Where it's just Detective Colborne finding Richard and asking him about the two murders and Henry Winter's suicide.

Colborne: So you also did all this for the person you loved?

Richard: Nah, I did it for the 💫 Aesthetics💫

Colborne, to himself: this one is even worse than Oliver Marks.

Reading IWWV was such a journey. While I did enjoy TSH, it never broke me like IWWV did. The book is shorter than TSH but has more impact than the prior. The style, the writing, the characters and the story is so vastly different yet same as TSH. The thing about it is, I can read TSH as many times as I want, get new theories and discover more details. But I couldn't read IWWV even ounce after the first read, because all I could feel was pain.

Forget Romeo and Juliet when we have Oliver and James.

(Seriously, why any ship I like sinks?)

I quit reading If We Were Villians when I thought James and Oliver are doomed to not be together. I have tried to complete the last few pages but I can't. I had never rooted for a couple more than I did for them. I even got jealous with them when they were both with different people. I have spoiled as well as guessed what happens in the end (the Shakespeare format spolied more than it should have) and I don't think I could EVER finish the book. Few books break my heart, but this one surely did.

If we were villains

Just finished if we were villains and let me just say, oh my goddddd!!!! I literally almost burst into tears at the ending. The way the characters were portrayed was amazing and every single one of the journeys they went on as humans was so touching and approachable. I have no words to describe how this book made me feel.

no bc the bi panic oliver must’ve been feeling when he saw both his crushes hate making out with each other

Kind of in the mood today to write a screenplay for IWWV movie, having never written one before. On va voire. 

My friend just returned my copy of If We Were Villains today and I am seriously fighting the urge to reread it

"The whole truth is, I'm in love with him still"

James Farrow, If We Were Villains.

Tahini Al-Jamil saying ‘I had never felt quite so seen as when she saw me’ sounds like something straight out of a dark academia novel, where the protagonist is describing their ‘friend’ who they’re definitely NOT in love with

I cry every time I read it, I read this one a lot.

@queerlitnet event 01: get to know the members — lily + MAKE ME CHOOSE — @hcrror asked oliver marks or james farrow

“were you in love with him?” “yes,” i say, simply. james and i put each other through the kind of reckless passions gwendolyn once talked about, joy and anger and desire and despair. after all that, was it really so strange? i am no longer baffled or amazed or embarrassed by it. “yes, i was.” it’s not the whole truth. the whole truth is, i’m in love with him still.

I have yet to see a take on If We Were Villains that isn't either negative, related to The Secret History, or both. So here's mine. SPOILERS

First, I've seen some hate for Meredith and the other girls. Why? I understand that Meredith "betrayed" James and in that betrayed Oliver, but she was only trying to protect him and their friends. She didn't do it out of jealousy, she did it out of love.

If you must hate on Meredith for being jealous the least you can do is admit that you would be too. The guy your with, and perhaps even love, is obviously in love with another person despite choosing you. And that person is in love with him too. How would you feel?

In a perfect world Oliver and James would be together and Meredick would live happily ever after with no abuse or darkness of any kind. But the book isn't about a perfect world, it's about being doomed and making the best out of the situation. Meredith and Oliver found the best in each other, especially at the end of the book. While keeping James's death, we couldn't have asked for a better ending. Oliver loves Meredith more than he could love anyone outside of James, and she loved him for who he was and is.

Okay maybe I just wanted to rant about Meredith and he relationship with Oliver! But I never see posts about it! All I see is aesthetic boards, and while beautiful, aren't what I'm looking for!

I understand that If We Were Villains and The Secret History are practically the same, everyone points if out, but I have no interest in TSH and I never will. Somebody please get it.

still cannot fathom how Oliver said like the most romantic thing ever to Meredith and then went to jail for James 5 minutes later

if we were villains aesthetic

m l rio really said "you can justify anything if you do it poetically enough" and thought it justified making me lose my mind over a bunch of emo theatre kids huh

why does no one ever talk about how meredith ratted james out ?? girl was hoping to throw oliver's best friend (his brother. his partner in crime.) in the slammer
