Hot take- Henry from the picture of Dorian Gray and Henry from the secret history have to be related some way. The parallels are too much.

OMG EVERYONE

For our reading class we get to do a project on greek gods

I GET TO DRESS UP AS ATHENA AND DO A WHOLE PRESENTATION ON HER

My inner classics nerd is crying tears of joy

I know Athena is kinda basic but she has literally been my kinship since the 3rd grade.

Okay wait

Thinking about more of the story element in the secret history... If this is Richard rewriting and recounting his memories how do we know that their really accurate? In the book he admits he's an liar and that at some times he was so drunk that he couldn't recount correctly. I understand he's an unreliable narrative but just how unreliable is he? Like we know Richard wasn't told everything that was going on in the group so what really happened? How much of the group did he not know? How much is he holding back? Not to mention that the group sometimes may have actually been lying to him and he never found out. It sucks because I'll never have my questions answered. Richard is an interesting but frustrating character. Also just a thought do we ever get a clear answer to why he's writing this memoir?

I just finished The Secret History and holy shit. I hate to say this but it makes so much sense. Not in the aesthetic dark academia-isk way but in a real and true academic way. As a person who's been deemed a gifted kid since kindergarten it makes too much sense to me. Academia isn't just an beautiful, aesthetic thing. It's not as nearly perfect as it looks. Its not something to chase after just for the beauty of it. Beauty is terror and that what Donna Tartt shows in this book. Everything has its problems. To chase after beauty is to chase a wolf in sheep's clothing. People deemed academicly gifted have tons of problems and aren't perfect. These people usually get driven mad and do something to break this academic perfection. To break free and truly feel alive...but this leads to a nightmare that no matter what, you have to live with. God damn Donna Tartt you did an excellent job. This book is definitely going to stick with me.

Apollo summary: A overly tragic and chaotic Bi free on any day

Idk why I just thought of that rn

Apollo*crying*: Why will no one love me? I mean I'm the best looking of all the gods here!

Artemis: Have you ever considered personality as a factor?

Another thing-

Erichthonius: Mommy?

Athena: DO I LOOK LIKE-

And one more...

Hippolytus: I'm asexual and I serve Artemis

Aphrodite: Peace was never an option

And maybe one more

Aphrodite: Hey there's a new few mortals that are single~

Athena, Artemis, and Hestia: Damn I- I kinda don't care

Hi, I read your post on the pressure from being a golden child and I wanted to say that you’re absolutely right. I experienced something similar to you, but I’m an only child from both sides of the family who are highly successful & the pressure is enormous. I get compared to their childhoods & their successes all the time which unfortunately for me spiralled into depression.

Anyways, I just wanted to offer a virtual hug to you 🤗🌼 & some positive vibes. You’re not alone. Please feel free to DM me anytime:)

Thank you so much. This made my day so much better! I hope it gets better for you too.
