#ITS THAT NO DESCRIPTON EVER MATCHES UP!

[barnbridges]

do you ever think about how Marion's got relatively 0 mentions and yet gets shifting characterization (that even contradicts itself within 3 sentences) and seems solely based off ill intent or judgement from the classics students, but we ignore that because... it's so small and the book already is drippinging with elitism and the male gaze of our narrator and his friends, we don't have time for background girls that are concerned for their boyfriend.

#the secret history #tsh #marion barnbridge #richard papen #bunny corcoran #ITS SUCH A SMALL THING #henry winter #but worms my heart! #that first one #isnt even FROM RICHARD #its from HENRY who we do not know as a male-gaze holder #BUT ITS SO #like #idk its these small fucking things that build the unreliability of not only richard but other characters as well #that we ultimately dont fucking know ANYONE or anything to be TRUE we just go off vibes #like the narrative isnt about if marion hates or cares about drugs and if bunny did drugs THATS NOT THE POINT #ITS THAT NO DESCRIPTON EVER MATCHES UP! #i love her! i hope she knows!
