I tthink we need to make something clear and it's that the guys of the greek class get pegged. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen fan art of Bunny and Marion, let alone Marion, so I thought I would do the deed 🫡 I honestly forgot what her desc was so I kinda just did what I wanted LMFAO. I think she was blonde in the book but like oh well… Bun is serving supreme himbo realness as always.

I have this theory that Marion was kinda fun but Richard was such a hater that we didn’t get to see it 🤷‍♀️

[barnbridges]

fun reminder that when marion WAS sad about bunny passing on around charles, someone who she does see as a friend according to richard, she was bad according to both richard and charles. when she's angry that his family sees her as a disposable enough girl to ask another one who he was into, she's shallow and selfish for caring about being at her boyfriend's funeral as the girl who loved him when he died and the first person who cared that he was missing. but when she moved on (without moving on) she's still a shallow and stupid slut actually.

maybe it's because charles and richard feel bad that they have to feel the consequences that they took away her boyfriend. that she obviously cared about him and is human about it. maybe that's why they'd stretch away from dealing with her and instead bitch about his family being terrible, because marion didn't cry like they want her to cry aesthetically perfect and unselfish tears.

                                               HAMPDEN EXAMINER: MISSING COLLEGE STUDENT

          Sunday afternoon Edmund Corcoran, a Hampden College student known to his family and friends as “Bunny,” attended a campus party which he apparently left some time in the middle of the afternoon in order to meet his girlfriend Marion Barnbridge of Rye, New York, also a student at Hampden. That was the last that anyone has seen of Bunny Corcoran.

           The concerned Barnbridge, along with friends of Corcoran’s, yesterday alerted state and local police, who put out a Missing Persons Bulletin. Today the search begins in the Hampden area. The missing youth is described as being six feet, three inches tall, weighing 190 pounds, with sandy blond hair and blue eyes. He wears glasses, and when last seen was wearing a gray tweed sports coat, khaki pants, and a yellow rain slicker.

           At St. Jerome’s preparatory school in College Falls, Massachusetts, Corcoran was active in varsity sports, lettering in hockey, lacrosse and crew and leading his football team, the Wolverines, to a state championship when he captained during senior year. At Hampden Corcoran served as a volunteer fire marshall. He studied literature and languages, with a concentration in Classics, and was described by fellow students as “a scholar.”

i hate mansplaining stuff that really doesnt need to be mansplained, but because francis implies that he and bunny started in the same year and that in that year he wanted to bang sophie deabold, and yet that marion had a previous argument with EVERYONE in the greek class besides richard (thus including the twins) she's at most one year older than richard. and she's never seen henry and bunny's shared bedroom more than richard has. it was other real or imagined women who've listened to art pepper records.

[barnbridges]

to this day, the funniest richard papen narrator moment because this paragraph is singlehanded the worst characterization ever and contradicts about 3-4 things he's ever said about marion before OR after he says this and yet never stops to question um what.

[barnbridges]

do you ever think about how Marion's got relatively 0 mentions and yet gets shifting characterization (that even contradicts itself within 3 sentences) and seems solely based off ill intent or judgement from the classics students, but we ignore that because... it's so small and the book already is drippinging with elitism and the male gaze of our narrator and his friends, we don't have time for background girls that are concerned for their boyfriend.

[barnbridges]

actually smollest woman in the world

[barnbridges]

Marion, we knew, recognized the difference in Bunny’s behavior as clearly as we did, and was puzzled and angered by it.

an (incomplete) study in being a shrew, The Secret History, Breaking Bad.

[barnbridges]

Bunny has a great day every day. Marion, we knew, recognized the difference in Bunny's behavior as clearly as we did, and was puzzled and angered by it. If she'd seen the way he was around us, she doubtless would have realized that she was not the cause; but as it was she saw only the broken dates, the mood swings, the sullenness and the quick irrational angers which apparently were directed solely at her – Was he seeing another girl? Did he want to break up?

[barnbridges]

why do you care such about Marion?

Tunglr user Barnbridges Caught Caring About Marion Barnbridge of Rye, New York???? MoRE News AT 6!

No, but seriously.... I just love blondie a normal amount because she's better and worse at the Greek class than the Greek class themselves.

She's Bunny's "real girl" who "keeps him in line" when there's no line, when Bunny himself is 10 different shades of fake, when their relationship falls apart at the seams when Bunny begins to engage in Julian Morrow's least favorite virtue of honesty.

.... But she's also fake. She's so preoccupied with his money that she doesn't notice Bunny being gone for a week, she doesn't call his brothers, not his parents, not until Cloke and Charles push. She sits in Charles' lap at the funeral. She's all looks and friends and malarkey, the words of our man himself.

They deserve each other, and its shallow and it will pass, right? He's a kleptomaniac and reads to the person who knows of it what should happen to thieves, it's willing and consensual denial for the sake of appearing Normal People.

But she also is just as haunted by him as the class themselves, she's just... more normal about it. She married his brother, who loved him. A guy without much a generational cent to him, whose only virtue is he's there. She has a kid she names after Bunny's mother, who never acknowledges her at the funeral, she's never around any of them, misses in any newspaper or interview. She planned to marry Bunny, right? She called Charles every day since Bunny's been missing, she broke off any relation to Cloke based off the possibility he and his drug business were involved. She's cared about him, in some ways that never pass the brain of our narrator, busy with his own grief to realize he's never thought twice of other pathological liars in the building.

She's the physical embodiment of Bunny's codependency to the Greek class, the person closest to him that's not them, the person with whom he spends most of his time and energy on in their absence. He's the only one of them that has a girlfriend. She's but a Presbyterian blondie in the midst of the Catholic fuckery of rituals in the group, foreign and cheap to them, but all the freedom they'd never allow themselves.

Their relationship is the only thing "normal" Bunny can claim to be or have or be, but it's all a shell and a lie. How much does she know of random sex rituals in the woods, we never know, Richard never cares to find for himself.

She's the group's "no speak" list alongside the time they had sex in the damn woods and thought they met Dionysus. She's the worst things of Bunny's that Julian doesn't like, tacky and lazy and something deeper than that, something we aren't privy to. She haunts Francis personally, deeper than his absentee father and she lives right by his door to see him on the streets.

She's.... a person who laid her eyes on the Metahemeralism essay and gave it to some magazine to publish. She stares at the half-eaten Twinkie in his bedroom and shuts down when confronted with that he's gone gone. She can only name Henry and Francis as Bunny's friends in the Greek class.

If you ask me she's just better at lying than both Bunny and the whole lot of them, Richard and Henry are too busy to figure out their own lies to figure they've been outlied to by yesterday. Besides Julian, the only character that has come out the affair doomed and broken, but alive with at least a little girl of hope to her name.
