I think one of the slept on things that makes The Secret History feel like a real world is Donna Tartt's willingness to introduce a character that is just never brought up again (or brought up once or twice again.)
Because i'm real life, not every person you meet is going to have significance in your life. Not everyone is going to change that plot. Think about the teacher that takes over when Julian leaves. Or the farmer who claims to have seen Bunny. Or Richard's one night stand. Even the man stalking Henry and Bunny in Italy doesn't show up later.
And not only does this fill the gaps in the world, it absolutely helps build suspense. You never know if a character might have significance later, because there's simply no pattern to follow. It keeps you guessing.
Did I mention I started rereading The Secret History

Just keep the morning a bay a little longer.

if i had a penny for every fictional hedonist called henry that is possibly probably gay for their best friend and ruined their lives/the lives of others 'for the aesthetic' i would have three pennies, which isn't much, but it's weird that it's happened thrice

Kiss Me in Komorebi+ 🌸
[Episode One] First Impressions.
We end the night by sharing a Dessert Course, full of local fare and Simstagram-worthy snacks, with House Three!
What a way to end a whirlwind of a night! The relaxed and sociable atmosphere that our contestants of House Three carried through their tea and sweets was a blessing to our tuckered-out Bachelor, who thoroughly enjoyed their company! Looks like there might be one sim he wants to know a little better, though... 👀
[ Part 1/3 ]
more gameplay info about the night under the cut! | @softietrait @2013trait @wormsimblr @julietisufferingwiththeuser @hauntedtrait @wastelandwhisperer @gothoffspring
this was such a fun group to watch interact! you can see that jiro was a surprising highlight of the night, constantly standing up to keep his fellow contestants entertained! (which was equally hilarious because everyone besides dan became bored with their conversations at some point)
absolutely none of them wanted to sit down, but they all were autonomously clustering into little chat groups all night, it was adorable!
nolan and jiro are already at 35 points of friendship?? they vibed really well together, and nolan loved all of jiro's mixology practice!
zayden and adrian would not let anyone else sit next to dan. he kept bouncing back and forth interacting with them, it was as though zayden would ask a question, dan would answer, and then adrian would ask him something! man's got a kink in his neck now y'all
jasper kept entertaining the group with "outrageous stories" that had them all laughing!
francis kept getting overwhelmed by the amount of people in the room (he developed the "fear of crowded spaces" quirk during gameplay, poor baby) but suraj kept comforting him
suraj discovered he "likes complaints" which i am manifesting as him being a Listener(tm) dkhffdkhd
i want to ground them all from those god damn future cubes, they ALL brought one out at some point during the night jkfhdf we love a social adapter!
i cannot believe we got here, folks. looking at this last group of contestants sitting here, enjoying each other's company, knowing that the group dates and first real rose ceremony is coming up next... fkdhfjsdkjfh
i'm already so attached to all of them okay idk how i'm gonna FUNCTION

Francis Abernathy’s Relative was on the Titanic.
I know Jack, and Rose, and their whole story were nonexistent.
But The Titanic is my comfort film and The Secret History is my comfort book. And I don’t really know what I’m trying to say; it just makes me smile.
