Dangerous But Ody Is Actually Happy To See Hermes

The old version of cosplay.

I think it's interesting that many of the languages Henry learns are liturgical/sacred/associated with religious works.

Ancient Greek goes without saying, but there's also (If I remember correctly, don't have access to the text at the moment) Coptic, Latin, and Pali.

Henry has been searching for something beyond the physical world to believe in, and feel at home in because he isn't altogether connected to this world. He uses the skill he knows he has, languages, to search for a place he feels spiritually at home.

Him suggesting the bacchanal tells us he does believe in the Greek pantheon, but if we stick with this reading, that makes sense because Julian encourages a tendency he already had.

Henry's headaches could perhaps be likened to trances, further cementing him as a character drawn toward faith. His material wealth also highlights this, as he is mostly disconnected from the real world in the sense of needing to know how much things cost.

His search for faith begins before joining the greek class. This could bring him into a parallel with Richard, who recognizes he himself was in the right circumstances to be in a cult, also searching for something more than his physical/material life

Am I the only one who thinks The Secret History would be way more interesting as a stage play than a movie? It could be put on in the same style as a Greek tragedy, taking inspiration from ancient performances. Or there could be constant rotating sets and backgrounds, but the mountains and the cliffs always being present onstage, reminding us that what no matter what Richard is telling us, and no matter how much Richard and the Greek class try to rationalize it, they will always be haunted by what they have done. THINK ABOUT HOW THE BACCHANAL COULD BE SHOWN

Logically I know that when you reach out I should deny you

I know I deserve better than you

But you still have your fingers wound in my hair

Holding my head to your chest

I know I’ll probably give in

I know I want to give in

But logically I shouldn’t

Officially survived finals so I’m back to working on my double black analysis with more time than ever on my hands 🫡

Idk when I’ll be done but I’m close to being done in the prison arc but then I gotta proofread which is gonna be so fun

bitches be like “this is the best piece of literature i have ever read” and it’s either a book that took them six weeks to finish or a fanfic they read at 3 AM

It kind of sucks, to want a connection with someone; but having no approach.

And you just feel them slipping

farther away

every day,

not even aware that you were ever

standing next to them

with open arms

montada but make it yuri

I wanted to make an animation based on Lenore and Annabel Lee, but I lost confidence and strength because exams are coming soon and I am preparing for them

Ehemm.... here you go anyway

no rhythm to guide our steps, only the clamour of our minds and the asbestos polluting our lungs. walz macabre, our places.
