Henry Winter be like "I know a spot" then pushes you off it
how many piercings does Hephaestus even have? Bros got a high pain tolerance
Hefufu : So , not much, really.
I like to think Ody got a little traumatized with water for a while...
(also i want to thank you all for the love on my first post of them….i wasn't expecting that for a silly joke 🧍♂️)
Camilla, the infantilization and victimization from the fandom towards her character:
Firstly, Camilla is a victim, yes. She is the victim of her brother, and of the things that surround her, Bunny's sexism, Richard's creepy hiperfixiation, Francis' jelousy. She is a victim, but everyone in the book is a victim of something.
What makes her different is that she is a victim of her brother and the sexism towards her. However, the over infantilization and victimization does not suit me well. To not aknowdlege that she was as bad as Francis or Henry, is to look down at her.
She was fine with the fact that they killed someone, she was fine with Bunny's death, (moved, perhaps, giving that scene where she cried, however I've always suspected that was merely acting that Henry asked from her), the thing is: she was fine.
She's not an angel, and not the mastermind behind it, but she's an adult, she knew pretty well that what they were doing was wrong, and yet she didn't told Richard or anyone. The thing is: if she were to say something, everyone would have believed her because she's a girl and would be seen as a victim, but she was not interested on that. She had the opportunity to talk to the police and be seen as a clean victim, she did not because she did not care. She did not felt guilt.
People act as if Camilla is a little girl, a child that knows no bad or good. She knew. She's a complex character, and most people cannot see that the fact that she's a victim does not erase that she's not an angel or innocent.
When she was sent into a date, she did not even seem upset or anything. For her, it was just something she had to do to get their way. Just a simple task, she was not a tool. You can't be a tool, if you're aware and positive about the task. We must remember Richard was scandalized by the fact that Camilla was having fun. It's not that deep, she had fun on a date, playing around because it was just something she had to do, she did not feel bad or used about it, because most possibly, she was sent by Henry.
And we know that she could have declined anything, Henry did favoured her. She could have say no to the bacchanal, or to Bunny's death, she could have been not included, but the thing is: she's as evil and morally strange as Henry and Francis, this does not apply to Charles, since he's a different type, giving to his guilt.
Readers forget the most basic thing: They all are bad people. They are not good, they are victims, yes, but they are also sickly out-of-touch individuals.
Camilla is as bad as them, do not idolize her, do not look down on her.
Young Donna Tartt. You’re welcome.
i always wonder if richard made henry overly stoic and unemotional, because there’s moments where you hear of bunny being the only one to make him laugh/smile, and camilla being the ‘recipient of his infrequent smiles’. i like to think about happy henry, henry maybe not being all that stoic, just richard telling us he is.
rip henry winter you would have hated the fact that you can view ancient tombs from your library website
Why don't we have more content of Ody being a troll ?
The future isn’t just 10 years away or 5 months, or even 1 week.
It’s the next hour, the next minute, your next breath.
Like a dog tugging at the hem of your pants.
I think that’s why we are all so tired.
Constantly reaching for something that’s already behind us.
I sit all by myself and my back hurts
But nothing hurts like shame burning me inside out
Yesterday I told you that I'm sorry for existing
And you shamed me for it
As you should
As you should
Blank pages staring back at me
As they should
They just want to be told what I am so ashamed of
But it hurts
But it hurts
And my question is should it hurt
