Handwritten letters with wax seals and dried flowers need to come back.

being gay isn’t being attracted to the same gender, it’s:

“i can take care of myself just fine, alright?”

“no”

“what do you mean no?”

“no :)”

UPDATE: I do now in fact have this kind of teacher!!! he's a substitute for my normal teacher going on maternity leave but i cannot express how much he gives me mr. keating vibes. like at all. it's crazy.

how am i supposed to survive school if i know very well that my english teacher won't tell us to carpe diem and make our lives extraordinary and yell quotes and kick footballs to classical music and rip pages from our books and start a secret poetry society with all of my queer-coded friends and-

convinced that for new years the poets had a secret party with the rest of their classmates before going to the cave for their own private rendezvous. knox brought along chris who insisted they make and bring snacks for everyone. charlie brought wine and those party blowers. cameron tried to bring his record player for "some fun tunes" but charlie kept using the blowers over the top so the music was forgotten about until pitts came crashing into the cave at about 1:17 am with a stack of his cds (lets be real here his music taste would the best) and he and todd spend basically the whole time discussing their fav artists and songs.

but the poets soon learn that after neil's accident he hates loud noises, so during the annual Welton New Years Fireworks, todd wraps his arms around him and holds him until its over. when todd tells pitts and meeks, they bring to the cave their silent fireworks and they all welcome the new year together in their cave :)

i got broken up with this morning so todays posts are all going to be sad

[girls-of-the-dead-poets]

queer rep is like “i think i might be gay omg 😳” while queer-coding is like “i can take care of myself / no / what do you mean, no?” “are you going out for the henley hall play? / uh, maybe / you know, you really should, gin, you’d be great” “all the good ones go for jerks, you know that” “you should come to the rehearsals / oh, i should?” “we got it, pittsie, we got it!” (staring lovingly at a kid in class while he recites a poem) (being an inseparable duo and building an illegal radio together) (showing genuine emotional vulnerability to a boy he met last month) (playing puck) (playing hermia) etc etc etc..

I’ve been going through the Secret History again to annotate it and one of the things that I’ve noticed is Richard’s unreliable view of Bunny.

❗️The secret history spoilers ❗️

Now, even from the first time he sees Bunny, he accounts him to be annoying, going so far as to describe his voice as ‘loud and honking’ (pg17).

Then, in his first lesson with Julian (pg35), he describes him to be pushy, while talking about a pen Henry bought. He asks a lot of questions, despite no one answering, which then leads to a lot of silence. He demands to see the pen again and, in general, is subtly annoying. (Stay with me I have a point here)

Now, his interest in others’ lives is obviously a quality that Bunny has HOWEVER, it’s not his only quality. Judy Poovey claims ‘he’s hilarious’ and we are told that Henry and him have always been good friends. Bunny is more than his worse qualities and so why is Richard only describing him as these?

Guilt.

We know that is narration is after they killed Bunny and so it would make sense that Richard only remembers his bad parts, as it’s a way for him to subconsciously justify what he did.

And this is the absolute genius of Donna Tartt. She has made Richard an unreliable narrator but in such a subtle way that it feels so human.

Ahhhhh I love this book

winter is coming. i can feel it in the cold as it soaks my bones. i can see it in the bare skeletons of trees. i can hear it in the crunch of the dead leaves beneath my feet. i can feel it in the warmth surrounding but not entering my body. i can see it in the cloudy skies. i can hear it in the caws of the birds. i can feel it.

THAT IS NEIL AND TODD’S CHILD YOU CANT ARGUE WITH ME

He looks exactly like the two of them 😭

He gets the depression from Neil and the crippling anxiety from Todd

[girls-of-the-dead-poets]

after neil and todd graduated welton, i am convinced they bought a small house in the suburbs of vermont, and they have like 3 cats (bc todd is defo a cat person), a dog bc neil radiates golden retriever energy and TONS of plants bc theyd both be the best plant dads. and at the weekends they have all the poets over for movie nights or meetings, and during the week they snuggle together in front of their fireplace w books and blankets <3

reading books like the secret history is always such a wild ride, because i'm fully aware that it's a criticism of aesthetic hedonism and the elitism of academia, and then i'll read a line like " if we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look at that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. then spit us out reborn" and i go absolutely fucking feral.
