PART 6
reading 'the secret history' by donna tartt for the first time, here are my thoughts after reading through chapter 6:
[CONTAINS SPOILERS] obviously
— snow killing flowers : winter killing bunny
— + charles and camilla bringing in tulips into their house before they could die and also being the most (outwardly, and so far) affected by bunny's murder
— judy poovey, i love you, you are nuts but also so so normal
— richard, once again, giving us unimportant foot descriptions
— i think henry may be trying to set charles up to be the most likely suspect out of all of them,, i don't think he actually expects for any of them to get caught, but i think there's a reason why he wants charles to be the most involved starting from when cloke broke in to bunny's room
— average queer friend group
— bunny's family, especially his nieces and nephews makes my stomach turn :((
— i feel like the first half of the book is meant to make you kind of see why they would kill bunny, and the second half is meant to make you understand that he was still a human being, a son, a brother, an uncle, and a friend, despite his flaws
— like was it ever that serious
— "if it was up to me they'd put you in jail" over some parking tickets, girl you don't even knowwww
— i think julian is slowly starting to understand just what exactly they've done,, which he most definitely put ideas in their heads, but at this point i don't think he meant for it to end up like this
— i can't believe i've never heard anybody mention the racism before, because oh my god
— as things in the book become actually serious, it feels like the dialogue of the central characters and richard's inner voice becomes sillier
— as opposed to in the beginning of the book, when things weren't that serious, but everything was written as if it was dire
— the dirt under his nails "he was grabbing at anything he could get ahold of" is sickening i cannot stop thinking about it

Something I love about Richard is how sensible, or responsible, he is when his friends are doing drugs or thinking of doing drugs.
Here’s a list:
• When Richard thinks Henry has LSD and he warns him not to mess around with that. (Bc he had a bad experience with it once.)
• Then when Henry tells him that what he has is actually poisonous mushrooms, the amount of times Richard goes “Henry” in that concerned motherly tone.😩
• Richard finds pain meds for Henry, and Henry demands him to hand over the rest, but Richard refuses, worried he’s going to take more.
• He also warns Henry about how dangerous it is to take those with alcohol, so Richard gets him a *very* watered down drink.
• Richard has strong uppers and downers in his pockets and Francis asks for some, but all he gives him is an Excedrin.
• He sees Charles smoking weed for the first time with Cloke, and he can’t help but feel sympathetic for Charles, knowing his own experience with it. (He gets paranoid.)
Meanwhile Richard’s out here getting fucked up every once in a while, literally doing cocaine and taking opioid sleeping pills, but when it comes to his friends he becomes a concerned mother.
I love him, he’s adorable.🤦

Just thinking about the secret history and Camilla character is truly so sad like the hole ritual part where the guys remember that they were chasing a deer and Camilla remember being a deer while forever haunt me and the fact that she spent that night alone and was covered in blood like it’s truly haunting

you know what i think about a lot? i think a lot about the romanticization of henry winter from tsh on social media platforms and how the creators of these posts are charmed, much like richard papen, into the idea of a stoic, tall, handsome academic who fits their ideal definition of the "dark academic" aesthetic. richard describes henry in a romanticized way BECAUSE he is enamoured by him and i've seen such few tsh fans who have recognized that papen is an unreliable narrator. just goes to show how convincing donna tartt's writing is 😭

PART 7
reading 'the secret history' by donna tartt for the first time, here are my thoughts after reading through chapter 7:
[CONTAINS SPOILERS] obviously
— what an absolutely sickening chapter
— henry, drugged to high hell off stolen pills, wiping the dirt from bunny's grave over his chest
— donna tartt did a great job of making this chapter feel so frantic, and then so heartbreaking, and then so frantic, and so on
— it's hard to remember that francis is such a snob until it smacks you in the face
— very worried about charles
— the details of what happened while and after henry pushed bunny are so horrifying
— not many notes on this one, it definitely had some funny moments with the hampden hysteria, but over all it was a real dark one
