Foaming At The Mouth At The Realization That The Climax Of The Secret History Started With Henry "kidnapping"

what the fuck was that whole thing with Julian teaching that famous princess and apparently he was always weary because of it? what did Henry literally crash out over and break Spike's collarbone over, what was said to provoke such a thing? SO MANY THINGS!!! I think that's the beauty of it all though.

I love how there are so many unsolved mysteries in tsh. What did Henry whisper to Camilla? What exactly happened at the Bacchanal? Who was the man who followed Henry and Bunny in Rome?

rip Bunny Corcoran you would've loved gramarly bc u couldn't spell for shit

One thing i can yap and yap on about for ages is the fact that the greek class cant for the life of them grasp the fact that bunny is upset by the murder of the farmer

When henry is telling the story of the bacchanal to richard, he says bunny couldnt understand how serious the situation was because he was freaking out which is funny, because he was the only one who understood

Henry also said that bunny wasnt upset about the murder but rather about the fact that theyd gone without him, and that he couldn't possibly care that theyd killed a man because he wasnt "exactly the most moral man" as if u needed to be fucking gandhi to realize that killing someone is wrong

When bunny started acting out they were all convinced he was doing it out of spite or to get under their skin, completely ignoring the signs that showed he was having a complete nervous breakdown and was slowly losing his mind because of what they had done

This is because they themselves did not see the act as something that was morally wrong, but rather an inconvenience for them. Like francis said, it wasnt voltaire they killed. They were so out of touch with reality that they lived not in this world but in one where morality doesnt exist, one they are the center of where the gods personally descend to be by their side. They lived in their ancient tales and greek poems. Bunny was the only one who was grounded and they cant understand that. It doesnt even begin to cross their minds. And its the same with bunnys death, they dont care about the morality of it because in their mind they are closer to gods than to humans and gods do whatever they please. They can kill a farmer and who cares? Its not like he was voltaire. They can kill their friend and who cares? Heroes kill and heroes die all the time.

this distance between them and the real world is the most important part of their characters because it explains everything else, from the incest to henrys suicide. Bunny was the only one who was rooted to reality which is what always set him apart from the rest and most importantly why things started to spiral out of control as soon as they killed him. He was their anchor to the real world and to sanity.

i wish there was a way to have an autopsy that didnt kill u. i think it would be so cathartic

rip bunny corcoran you would've hated rick riordan's interpretation of dyslexia in demigods as meaning their brain was hardwired for ancient greek

the thing I love the most about The Secret History is that like... so many readers fell for Richard's bullshit. Like anyone who legitimately thinks Henry is cool - no! That man didn't know about the moon landing and thought they could get away with a murder by fleeing to Argentina! He's stupid! But Richard loved him, so he wanted us all to love him too. And it worked!

repeat after me.. camilla macaulay was masc

🗣️🗣️CAMILLA MACAULAY WAS MASC ‼️‼️💥

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
