In every major scene Francis is flapping around going "where's my vape where's my vape"

The Secret History set in the modern day and everything is the same except Francis has no less than four strawberry ice vapes on his person at all times

[notsofriendlyfriendlyreminder]

bro. bro you are romantisizing the secret history. bro you are enamored with the greek class just like richard. bro you are ignoring the bad things and creating aesthetics based on a book telling a murder of a young man. brother.

It was just joke...

So normal about Henry. He's the one who starts everything and drives it forward in the worst possible direction and also ends it. He has almost no actual motive for the bacchanal or Bunny's murder other than wanting to see how far he can go. He keeps pushing the limit until Julian leaves and then he loses everything he had based his entire existence over and that's his breaking point. He realizes he was wrong? but by then he's ruined it all beyond repair and he has no more control over the situation he put everyone in, so he's the first to choose the easy way out. Maybe the only right thing he did was helping Camilla but even if he did love her and all of them to an extent, he'd always been just too fundamentally selfish to ever make it work. In the end he's exhausted enough that he kills himself maybe also out of regret and as a way to "fix" it, but mostly because he still considers himself above consequences. And he had to make that one final grand gesture, which was of course dying by his own hand in the most impactful and dramatic way possible to become the tragic hero of the situation. He's the one keeping the group together to the point they all part ways after he's gone, but also the one who dismantled it in the first place. And still everyone misses him. He's literally beauty is terror. He's the definition of hubris. He made the story about himself

Just a couple of songs that I think relate to this subject very well . . .

i would say my goal in life is to never be so busy that I can’t have a full conversation with you after church or invite you over to my messy house for cookies and tea

bitches be like “this is the best piece of literature i have ever read” and it’s either a book that took them six weeks to finish or a fanfic they read at 3 AM

“it’s starting to smell like pumpkin spice!”

“it’s starting to smell like scary movies!”

no.

it’s starting to smell like, the snow in the mountains was melting and bunny had been dead for several weeks before we came to realize the gravity of our situation.

The Secret History

“But how,” said Charles, who was close to tears, “how can you possibly justify cold-blooded murder?’ Henry lit a cigarette. “I prefer to think of it,” he had said, “as redistribution of matter.”

The way I'm obsessed with this group, ugh!!!
