JUST WATCHED THIS MOVIE AND AM LOSING MY MIND OVER IT!!! Thank you so much for the recommendation!!!

When people talk about dark academia movies they always mention Kill Your Darlings or The Dead Poets Society - i. e. films about men asserting themselves through art and homoerotic subtext between friends.

But I never hear about Mona Lisa Smile. It is a movie that just exudes da vibes + it has complex female characters in an academic setting + and it discusses the inherent mysoginy of the time.

Really, it is a wonderful movie and you're all sleeping on it

The Secret History (1992)

[heythatsillegal]

Anyone else feelin a lil betrayed by the signature Penguins Classics colour? I mean I have no grudge against orange, but... it’s hardly aesthetic, is it? These are some of my favourite books and they could have been a nice blue or purple or—dare I say—green... but I glance adoringly over at them on my bookshelf and... they’re just... OrAnGe?!?!?! And not even a nice orange?! If you have a nice orange then it’s NICE but let the record state that this is not a nice orange. And I am aware that there are other colours but a) they don’t typically stock them in stores and b) they’re not nice colours either. So much potential wasted, it’s truly devastating. I am, as the cool kids say, livid.

#a mini rant about bad shades of orange #I’m sure I’m not the only one here ready to start a riot #I don’t actually care that much I just can’t go a day without being dramatic about something #penguins classics #the secret history #picture of dorian gray #breakfast at tiffany's #we have always lived in the castle #the other classics I’ve read were wordsworth editions

Dunno why but I can perfectly imagine Richard in a basement with a tinfoil hat, running around and furiously muttering “we’re running out of gravity” meanwhile Henry’s just standing there watching him like “what’s a gravity”

So I was researching how to write stab wounds when I came across these two links in direct succession, and the escalation seemed very memeworthy to me:

Five minutes later and here is my hot take:

#they’re all terrible people #we know this #apologies for the handwriting #the secret history #donna tartt

Henry coming to his senses after the bacchanal, realising that he just straight up murdered a bloke:

#bacchanals are a terrible idea folks #just don’t do it #nike but the opposite #hope I’m spelling bacchanal correctly #it’s like bacchus but with a nal #no??? #yes??? #for the gif —> #source: https://weheartit.com/entry/37240400 #the secret history #donna tartt #henry winter
