okay but like the reason that the classics group fell apart was because from the beginning they were supposed to be paired off and Richards inclusion was supposed to be Francis's partner but he upsets the balance by latching onto henry isolating bunny who becomes horrid to attempt to detach himself from them all but goes too far and henry murders him setting up henrys death in the second act because richard latches onto francis, setting up what would have been the natural order, but now because henry's logical partner is dead HE latches onto camilla, isolating charles who follows in bunny's footsteps but worse and henry was doomed to die from bunny's death because that was the only way to balance it out in this essay I will-

You can clearly tell I gave up at the last part lol
No filter or anything version:
Honestly, Chuuya always talking about Dazai every time he interacts with the ADA is SO embarrassing for him, because Dazai NEVER talks about Chuuya to them. They have no idea how weird he is about that man, so now poor Chuuya sounds like a crazy ex with a one-sided obsession. This is Dazai’s ultimate cruel trick on him…
Betrayal
Baby sheep
He's being happy
francis abernathy is genuinely god’s strongest warrior because how did this motherfucker survive THREE homoerotic failed situationships in a ROW, bunny, bunny’s murder, henry, richard, charles, incest twins, being a redhead, a SUICIDE ATTEMPT, being catholic, being gay in the 80s, being catholic AND gay BOTH in the 80s, multiple nervous breakdowns, vermont, an alcoholic absent mother, a homophobic grandpa, being fatherless AND to top it all off being the only diva in the classics group 😢
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.
“It's a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves? Euripides speaks of the Maenads: head thrown I back, throat to the stars, "more like deer than human being." To be absolutely free! One is quite capable, of course, of working out these destructive passions in more vulgar and less efficient ways. But how glorious to release them in a single burst! To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal! These are powerful mysteries. The bellowing of bulls. Springs of honey bubbling from the ground. If we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. Then spit us out reborn.” ― Donna Tartt, The Secret History
