im actually kinda proud of this one..
the speedpaint takes 10 business days to finish
straight friend groups be like : "jock", "blond", "smart", "nerd", "quirky", "girl"
queer friendgroups be like: "nothing in my soul if not obsessive", "redistribution of matter", "cubitum eamus", "a kiss for your jailbird brother", "murdered", "heavily romantisised"
i may be here physically but mentally i am listening to the secret history audiobook read by donna tart
I too react this way when the phone rings
drew Ody unhinged cuz ya boi’s a bit off his rocker so to speak…
Don’t worry it’s ok I gave him his wifey:
how i remember that one scene in the secret history:
henry: don’t say fuck.
charles: oh yea? well fuck fuck fuck, you be fuckin my sister every night right? mhm. clock it.
richard: so when i was young my father beat my mother. lol sometimes he beat me too.
"study like henry winter" he probably didn't even know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
everyday i think about how henry could have put on a whole show of grief at bunny's funeral. he could have read a long-winded speech, hell, he could have even said "this poem was one of bunny's favourites" before he read it. that simple acknowledgement to let everyone at that funeral know he cared.
but he didn't. he read that poem, knowing full well it did not suit whatever 'aesthetic' he and julian had formulated, knowing that he'd be criticised for it. knowing that the only people who knew what it meant, were him, bunny, and the rest of the greek class.
i've seen some people have said that him smearing the dirt across his chest at the funeral was an 'act' of sorts to show how much he was grieving. but i don't think i could disagree more. henry was sick out of his mind at that funeral. i think the funeral wasn't just overwhelming for him mentally and physically, but also emotionally. he had to grieve once, then he had to grieve a second time, knowing that he killed his best friend.
everyday i think about it man. i love these freaks

i love how the secret history already has a relatively small fandom and then there's a massive divide between people saying "fuck henry winter" and the people who want to fuck henry winter
the purpose of friends is to have people who unconditionally hate your shitty exes & relatives. like maybe YOU have a complex relationship with your father but i sure don't. i'm outside his house with a gun. he's not the unforgivable asshole who raised me he's just an unforgivable asshole
