The Secret History (1992)

Found this reference and had to draw my favourite unhealthy couple

[mysticaldistancing]

This is one of the funniest;

If one is really in love with a woman, the person would try to envision the beauty of her, her what, dainty fingers and soft skin or whatever. But have you ever thought of the man instead? Thinking of his sturdy back, the feeling of those big, warm hands? I wonder why, hm.

I think you're yearning for the wrong person than who you said you were, Richard.

Was it casual when? No, nothing about this relationship was ever casual.

maturing is realising winterpapen is the most important relationship in the secret history and literally the whole story is based off of their dynamic. also that they’re generally more interesting and complex than any other “ship”

«To rise after you, to break with you»

you know that scene in the beginning when he has dinner with bunny

[luthienleithian]

Slowly, slowly, with a drugged, fathomless calm, Henry bent and picked up a handful of dirt. He held it over the grave and let it trickle from his fingers. Then, with terrible composure, he stepped back and absently dragged the hand across his chest, smearing mud upon his lapel, his tie, the starched immaculate white of his shirt. I stared at him. So did Julian, and Francis, and the twins, with a kind of shocked horror. He seemed not to realize he had done anything out of the ordinary. He stood there perfectly still, the wind ruffling his hair and the dull light glinting from the rims of his glasses.

They make me SICK

Oh god.

I didn't know we have Henry and Richard as Patroclus and Achilles in the book? Literally written there?

Anyway, see, in this passage, Richard is portrayed as Achilles and Henry as Patroclus (You see, because he came to Richard's dream) that means we know.... Well....

[telling-tragedy]

henry and richard’s back and forth throughout this scene is absolutely addicting. richard isn’t having it
