bro. bro you are romantisizing the secret history. bro you are enamored with the greek class just like richard. bro you are ignoring the bad things and creating aesthetics based on a book telling a murder of a young man. brother.
Why don't we have more content of Ody being a troll ?
sleepy dachuu sketch
this is a sketch for my fic Where The Stars Used To Be!!
(this is from chapter 6)
the fact that richard sees/wants us to see judy poovey as sort of dumb, while also seeing/wanting us to see julian morrow as some revolutionary mind when they're having the same damn thoughts is crazy to me
like near the end of the first chapter when we hear some about the class discussion, one of the points julian discusses (in simple terms lol) is how people who tend to bottle things up and stay composed all the time end up causing greater amounts of destruction when they "lose control" than people who allow themselves to lose control on occasion, but he does it with many words and references
and richard is like "wow this is awesome how sick is this guy"
then at the beginning of chapter two, judy poovey is telling richard about the time henry beat the fuck out of spike romney and she says something about how when uptight people lose it they REALLY lose it, but in terms just as simple as those
and richard just goes "yeah, i guess"
which there for sure is something to be said about the way people use words and the difference that use of language has on the way people feel about certain concepts, but you know
also: misogyny, clearly
i think henry winter and chappel roan should make a song together and call it agamemnonenon
20 years...
while rereading this dialogue that they are all philosophical and spiritual in, i shit you not, jokingly i said "you write dialogue for each person, having a page each" only to scroll from the start of that one person talking and it being for 3 pages.
i laughed so hard i had to share. i feel like there's really only so much breaks that can happen in talking and i am all out of them lol.
Francis doesn’t get enough credit for being the only somewhat sane one in that group
One of the most oddly heartbreaking moments in the secret history is how devastated Henry is after Julian leaves
i’m the type of girl richard would hate and i take pride in that
