i love the secret history so much. francis and henry are out there admitting they’ve murdered someone and i’m here giggling at how bitchy and mean girl-like they sound when talking about bunny
henry’s LITERALLY like: well richard the thing is we murdered some farmer or whatever while having a sex ritual and bunny found out about it so he got into my apartment to wait until we got back. which is fine because who cares right i mean we were pretty busy since we had so much cleaning up to do but that BITCH also ate my ice cream and let it melt all over my oriental rug and now it is ruined forever UGH can you believe him

PART 5
reading 'the secret history' by donna tartt for the first time, here are my thoughts after reading through chapter 5:
[CONTAINS SPOILERS] obviously
— does richard papen have a thing for feet????
— "je me sens comme hélène keller, mon vieux." is so funny i wish it were said under better circumstances
— has richard been coked out this whole time?? or was him doing coke with judy poovey in a burger king parking lot just like something he was in the mood for???
— either way, it makes sense for him
— henry writing about murdering a guy in his journal and then not burning it was a crazy move
— richard is wayyyyy too chill about murder
— like man idk why you're acting like there's something wrong with bunny for having a drawn-out breakdown after finding out his best friends committed murder
— god bunny sucks so bad
— also maybe i'll take back what i said about bunny being very straight,,,, why, after arguing with your best friend, would you fall asleep in their bed??
— maybe that's just me though, either way he's got some issues
— bunny and henry's italy divorce story time
— camilla i'm gonna get you out of there
— i support women's wrongs
— calling people "hoi polloi" unironically, richard you are such a little prick
— this book is so well-written
— like i hate everyone but also i want things to go well for everyone
— the implication of both of the twins participating in the bacchanal and then bunny implying that they sleep together,,,,, y'all ,,
— "diabolical rap music"
— professor julian morrow they could never make me like you
— was going to say something about shared characteristics/parallels between julian and dionysus, but flipping to chapter 6 i see they have a quote about dionysus so
— jesus they just like murdered that guy fr
