Lana Del Rey released a song called "Henry, come on"?! Excuse me?
"I heard God say, "You were born to be the one
To hold thе hand of the man
Who flies too close to thе sun"
Ok Richard Papen. Hold his hand. Not the Greek mythology reference.
"I'll still be nice to your mom It's not her fault you're leavin'"
Somebody sedate me!!!...
"Do you think I'd really lose it on ya If you did nothin' wrong?"
I'm sensing Camilla?...
Why don't you just push me off a cliff, Lana? You might as well. It's already April.
henry winter is like my anti-blorbo. he's a freak and has committed atrocities and is emotionally stunted. talking about him, reading fanfic, making art and mashing his face together with other characters like dolls makes me happy. however, i do not want to wrap him in a blanket and give him the world and defend his actions. i love to hate him. i think he should kill himself
call me Bunny Corcoran the way I’m about to. bullshit my way through all of my final essays.

The Secret History destroyed my life like what do you mean I can't drink wine and study classical literature and spend the nights in a countryside mansion with piano echoing through the dark halls and break through the confines of humanity in a bacchanal and commit a string of murders and try to escape but eventually kill myself in a blaze of glory, ultimately shattering the lives of the people around me? That I can't escape the cognitive mode of experience and transcend the accident of my moment of being? That I can't lose my self, lose it utterly? What do you mean I can't live without thinking?
I'm going to start posting some reality-shifting tips on my blog. These are tips that help me, and if you want to, you can give them a try as well!
Okay, so, Here It Goes:
My first real tip is to practice meditating. Now, will this make shifting instantly easier? No. Will this make you shift the first time? No. So, what is the point of this tip, you make be asking. I will tell you:
Remember that there are a couple different components to shifting, and each of these components is a skill that you must learn, much like swimming, painting, or playing an instrument. It is hardly ever the case that someone can do these things first try with no practice (or even low-quality practice).
One of these components is meditation. Getting into a meditative state is a huge first step in shifting in most cases, and for most people, it is also the biggest hurdle.
It is crucial to practice meditation, especially outside of a shifting attempt, especially if it does not come easy to you during a method.
My suggestion is to do a guided meditation at least once a week at first. Then, you can move it to twice or even three times a week. When you practice meditating, it gets easier, because it is a skill. The goal is to build the meditation skill so that when you go to do a method, the first meditation part is easier for you and less of a hassle.
I know this is not what most people want to hear as a shifting tip, but I promise it can help in the long run. I know everyone is different, but in my case as a person with pretty bad ADHD, practicing meditation has made things much easier for me when it comes to shifting.
The reason I'm shaking my head at Richard is that he should've learnt his lesson in school, not during his second shot at studying in college. Trying to fit into an aloof, mysterious group because you think you're more mature and deeper than everybody else, only to find out that the group in question is not that cool and they only hang out because they're insufferable to everyone else, not exclusive. That's typical middle school experience right there.
One guy desperately trying to squeeze into the group, a homophobe who everyone calls queer, a girl and a boy who have a secret code of communicating, another one who's blatantly gay, one that you can tell will grow up to have an addiction...
There was "the Greek class" in every school.
whhaaaat people actually like bunny corcoran 😳😳😳 that’s so disgusting and horrible…anyways look at my posts about the other awful characters that i love from that book🥺❤️
Tsh fandom has many many faults but by far the most irritating is when they decide to nitpick which actions are justifiable or even non-existant and which are disproportionately vile and irredeemable just so they can place some characters (francis, camilla) on a higher moral plane than others (bunny, charles) like they weren't all equally awful people and the point wasnt that they were all batshit crazy
