I am back in the fucking building again because of catholicism.
Donna Tartt is a genius and I feel like tsh fandom has it kinda wrong
while reading The Secret History thereâs a specific passage that has stuck out to me every time and itâs pages 510-512. Richard essentially stops the story to reflect on Julian as a person, as a real person.Â
the writing here is beautiful but something about it seems important.Â
to sum it up, Richard comes to the conclusion that Julianâs problem (fatal flaw if you will) is that he ignores bad things to focus on good things (paraphrasing obviously). Specifically Richard keeps talking about Julianâs fascination with beauty.Â
Now if you just decide to trust Richard you could be like âyeah ok makes sense.â
but why the fuck would you trust richard
The most famous quote of the book comes from (as far as I can remember) the only scene in which we get an in depth look into what the hell actually goes on in the classics class.Â
âDeath is the mother of beauty,â said Henry.Â
âAnd what is beauty?â
âTerror.âÂ
âWell said,â said Julian. âBeauty is rarely soft or consolatory. Quite the contrary. Genuine beauty is always quite alarming.
so heâs literally doing the exact opposite of what richard said lol
heâs not ignoring horrific parts of things heâs embracing them as the fundamentally driving force of their beauty.Â
So richard is wrong (and no one is surprised)Â
thereâs more passages of julian basically being like âviolence and death is hot!â but we donât need to go over that itâs pages 38-39.Â
I think this is particularly interesting because it shows that even in reflecting over julian in hindsight richard is still, in a way, under his spell.
When you read the book under the premise that julian is an extremely privileged man who spreads his beliefs of tragedy being beautiful, to privileged youth who have never experienced such tragedy and are people longing for a sense of beauty, this all makes a lot more sense.
there should be all-trans casts in tv and movies. i want trans sitcoms. i want trans heist movies, i want trans action-dramas, i want trans sports films. i want trans star wars and trans star trek and trans star gate. i want trans murder mysteries and trans love stories. i need trans heroes and villains and love interests and rivals. i want trans law films and trans cartoons. i want trans pirates, trans cowboys, trans knights, trans secret agents, trans superheroes, trans assassins, trans wizards, trans monster hunters. somebody give me trans trashy teen drama, trans musicals, serious movies about heartbreak and betrayal and family and loss and growth where the protagonists are trans. we need more trans directors, trans writers, trans actors, fucking trans prop department. iâm sick of being a side character in a one off episode.

hey fun fact: obese wlw are just as sapphic as thin wlw. fat girls are allowed to love girls and to like / want sex with girls and to love themselves and to be lesbians or bi or pan or poly. fat and obese women are not disgusting or wrong when loving women or when having sex with women or when wanting sex with women
you should reblog this tbh
