Как же хорошо чувствуется когда у тебя хорошо получается

Did you folks know that George Orwell is NOT just a character from the secret history who disliked Julian?he was A REAL PERSON. Donna thank you sm for inventing this man imagine not having animal farm or four pages list of 11 rules how to make a perfect tea. To live would be a torture…

characters going “we were lovers once”: eh, it’s okay i guess. it’s nice enough

characters going “we were friends once”: absolutely devastating. one hit knockout i’m gone

re-reading a book feels like visiting an old friend who never changed since your time apart, but you see them differently and you notice new things about them because you have.🥹

Me: why am I going to the toilet so fck much

Also me: okay now im going to make twenty second cup of tea for this afternoon

Begging people to read into the gothic conventions used in “The Secret History” instead of repeatedly discussing the queerness (which is ultimately just bad representation and nothing more).

Edmund Corcoran is called “Bunny” to show the corruption of innocence - which was a gothic fear used in novels like Wuthering Heights and Frankenstein. Bunny is innocence, not for his morality but rather because he is ignorant and able to live outside reality with zero consequences (until the ol’ murder and he is corrupted by panic, guilt and death)

Henry Winter is Richard Papen’s double as he represent all the inner darkness within Papen he fails to express. Papen helps them poison Bunny and is complicit throughout the murders but doesn’t take direct action. This extends back to Dr Jeykll and Mr Hyde but I don’t want to discuss that novella rn. You can read this as Papen being Winter’s double, but elaborate because I don’t necessarily agree.

Henry is the epitome of a Byronic hero which was used in Frankenstein and so much more. He dies in such a way in order to solidify his status as a Byronic hero - in my opinion anyhow.

If you google “gothic literature conventions” you will begin to see TSH as less of a “dark academic aesthetic” novel, and more of a gothic horror inspired by Victorian literature okay thank you and goodnight.

Personal headcanon that Henry has shed real tears over the burning of the Library of Alexandria and the fact that he'll never be able to study there like so many of the scholars he idolizes.

It's always "oh poor Naruto! He had to agonise for three years over Sasuke, chasing after him and missing him!" and never "oh poor Sasuke! He had to abandon all his dreams of revolution and need for justice for his clan because all he wanted was love & the only person who could give him that wants him to not talk about the injustices he lived through, so he stopped".

There's something so deeply tragic about Sasuke in the Boruto movie, nowhere near Konoha, holding onto Naruto's old jacket and arguing for the soul of a Shinobi staying the same like in some hope that maybe Naruto is still the boy who saw him ar his worst, half-blind, after having the entire world against him and said "I understand ".
