“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”

― Donna Tartt, The Secret History

man. the secret history has become so synonymous with dark academia that when u look through the tag its just knit sweaters and latte art. like please show me a text post about how fucking unhinged richard was for staying in a room with a Literal hole in the wall during the dead of winter and almost dying of hypothermia.

"How do you read so many books??" I am simply trying to avoid reality, what are you doing

“it’s starting to smell like pumpkin spice!”

“it’s starting to smell like scary movies!”

no.

it’s starting to smell like, the snow in the mountains was melting and bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to realize the gravity of our situation.

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

The urge to learn every language and play every instrument and travel the world and live through every historical time period and be a writer and a poet and an actor and

"study like henry winter" he probably didn't even know the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

god i love it when gay people are in evil toxic codependent love with each other

all those layers of silence upon silence - donna tartt

Please, don't stress about it so much

One day we'll all forget about it, remember?

mood

and just when you think you’re at your absolute lowest a blonde motherfucker comes along and makes everything so much worse

call me bunny corcoran the way my parents don’t do shit for me and won’t until im dead 🔥🔥

henry winter hate booktok so much. he hates tiktok in general, but has a special hatred for booktok

Donna Tartt was right.

I am nothing in my soul if not obsessive.

Because I need to have an obsession to feel alive. To act. To do. To create.

Madness fuels me. It pushes me to live. It takes me apart and puts back together like puzzle pieces.

I need to feel obsessed or I don’t feel at all.

Henry and Francis at any given moment

small spoon henry winter (he has a headache)

Trying to read funny bunny’s dyslexic post and all I’m fucking getting is Henry x femreader smut fics LEAVE ME ALONNNNEEEEEEEE

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.

One of the most oddly heartbreaking moments in the secret history is how devastated Henry is after Julian leaves

in my richard papen era(failing academics, in need of friends, romantising things i don't even understand)

rip henry winter you would have hated ai (but not cause it’s killing the environment) with a passion

rip bunny corcoran you would have loved using ai on every single assignment ever

whenever i see a "dark academia" "the secret history aesthetic" post i want to cry because you've!!! fallen!!! for!!! richard's!!! trap!!!

DON'T ASPIRE TO BE THE LIKE THE GREEK CLASS. THAT'S LITERALLY THE WHOLE POINT OF THE BOOK, MOCKING IDEAS OF SOCIAL SUPERIORITY BASED ON 'LEVELS OF INTELLIGENCE'.

JUDY LITTERALLY HAS THE SAME THOUGHTS AS JULIAN, YET DOESN'T ACT SO HIGH AND MIGHTY ABOUT IT. be. more. like. judy.

richard. papen. is. an. UNRELIABLE. narrator.
