#The Secret History

[pottetto]

THE SNOW in the mountains was melting and Bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to understand the gravity of our situation.

Literally get real! Fiction was meant to be a place of expression not moral constructions we have to already abide by in our day to day. Fuck off. My problematic favs this and that, YOU MEAN HUMAN ASS WRITTEN CHARACTERS WITH DIMENSIONS? Who cares if they’re not *pure* enough for y’all. Not me.

Shipping fictional characters isn’t representative of your moral values. It’s representative of your particular psychic damage and the themes and motifs that haunt you. Hope this helps.

man. the secret history has become so synonymous with dark academia that when u look through the tag its just knit sweaters and latte art. like please show me a text post about how fucking unhinged richard was for staying in a room with a Literal hole in the wall during the dead of winter and almost dying of hypothermia.

“There is a recurrent scene from those dinners that surfaces again and again, like an obsessive undercurrent in a dream. Julian, at the head of the long table, rises to his feet and lifts his wineglass. ‘Live forever,’ he says. And the rest of us rise too, and clink our glasses across the table, like an army regiment crossing sabres: Henry and Bunny, Charles and Francis, Camilla and I. ‘Live forever,’ we chorus, throwing our glasses back in unison. And always, always, that same toast. Live forever.”

Francis (not Charles!) and Camilla kiss on the mouth as a form of greeting

Richard has a one-night-stand with a random girl his first week at Hampden

the Greek Class have a pet dog (and it dies)

Charles gets along well with Marion

Henry accidentally shoots and kills a duck

Richard regularly drunk-drives Francis home from the doctor

Bunny is severely dyslexic

Read this book recently how’s my lineup

[eternallyfatedjadedspaded]

and wound creating…wound caressing… fingering, licking. Smiling up at them with lips painted crimson as you coo about how good they’re being for you. Wound kissing because you didn’t mean to get lost in them like that.
