Francis When Henry Said He Found Gucci “grand”

my fav genre of books is called "what the FUCK richard"

just finished a few seconds ago...

anyone else finish the secret history and just feel completely numb???

Just realized in the second half of chapter on in TSH Julian tells Richard that he always finds his students boring because he always knows what they'll do next. Then he knew what the group was gonna do to Bunny but he just didn't stop it. Tell me why I've never noticed this.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE GOD YET?

Please see the symbolism please see the symbolism I’ll draw anything you want /hj….

Hey so, how do u get over DPS? It's been like nine months since I first watched it and sometimes I still tear up thinking abt Neil Perry

Bunny when he took a leisurely walk in the woods and saw all of his friends suspiciously gathered around collecting ferns:

how athena everybody feels listening to telemachus in "we'll be fine"

in another universe richard is selling avon

who do you think, in your canon, did Richard dedicate his first novel to? Would he pay respects to Henry? Do something morbid like dedicating it to Bunny? Acknowledge Francis’s role in it? ( the last one is funny to me because I feel like Francis would both hate it and feel secretly flattered). 

Does Francis enjoy Oscar Wilde? ( Does Richard? ) 

How do you think Richard feels about Darśan? Whenever I think about about how in Hindu tradition, what sanctified the worship is no prayer, chant, etc, but the simple act of seeing, I can’t help but think about Richard and his whole thing about being an “observer” and putting certain people on a pedestal. 

richard definitely is a dedicace guy, i think he probs would have gone for a henry shout-out but in an inside-reference way. like henry's favorite homeric phrase or something. don't think bunny is getting any such honors, nor julian post everything that went down. i think camilla maybe gets first entry in the acknowledgments, but again probably not named, something like 'to the girl who danced with me to berlioz in the early hours of the day' or some richard-ism. francis definitely does NOT get a credit in book 1 if we're going with my fic as canon, things are too weird/new with them then. but he probably peppers in stuff per francis' advice (and that opening quote he found for him) which francis would recognise immediately going through it anyway.

oscar wilde seems so obviously francis-coded i wonder if he counterintuitively finds him overrated or something. but he LOVES a quip, so maybe not. maybe he has a hot take like his witticisms were better than his literary output. i think richard enjoys wilde the same way he enjoys francis, slightly guiltily.

i don't think richard would have any idea of what darśan is unless maybe henry (who likes world religion / tradition as a point of interest) is aware of it. but i think that regard/observation as worship is certainly an aspect of his psyche. like him and francis talk about when francis reads his draft, the way you see things and the way you record that vision to yourself is in itself subjective/transformative/reflective of you.

heard its kiss day so take chibi 15 chuu n tross i did to warm up for today 🌸
