why the hell did no one tell me that a good girl’s guide to murder was going to make me cry?

[wannabemadeline]

everyone is like euphoria is unrealistic but at my school that one popular girl was murdered bu her boyfriend who then committed suicide and everyone just went with it until years later when that random teenage girl started investigating in it, cleared everything up AND ended up making a whole podcast about it

I cannot belive John Richard Pappen has the audacity to go “wdum I'm not straight I have proved my heterosexuality multiple times when I talk about camilla and her dusty soled boy feet and the way she looks just like her incredibly handsome and angelic twin brother who I just finished describing for a page and a half and confirmed is by far the best looking from the lot at Bunny's funeral oh and have you ever noticed that Henry has a really tigerish grace and it's lowkey kinda sexy oh and I kissed francis but that means nothing bc like friends kiss each other all the time”…like hello? do you hear yourself sir?

say what you will about the second half of TSH, “One time Uncle Bunny called me a bastard” is the funniest line I’ve ever read in a book.

Bianca. Come va il tuo caos vitale? Non riordinarlo troppo, perché allora ti sparirà anche l'interesse alla vita. Tienilo giudiziosamente a mezz'acqua.

da una lettera di Cesare Pavese a Bianca Garufi, in "Una bellissima coppia discorde" - Il carteggio tra Cesare Pavese e Bianca Garufi (1945-1950) (Roma, 3 sett 1945)

Thank you Virgin River for the amazing scenery porn and the small town that feels like a warm hug, despite the ridiculousness of some of its plots. You really are one of the comfort shows of the 2020s.

emily in paris so funny sometimes u are like wow this makes no sense and then the camera pans to the character and u gasp in horror at the glimpse of the ugliest outfit u ever seen in ur life and u just come to terms that its fine nothing makes sense bc the whole show is a parallel universe where the concept of the fashion police was never imagined

Re-reading books is great and good until it’s The Secret History by Donna Tartt and you realize that within Julian’s first lecture we are witness to he speaks of Tiberius, a flawed Emperor held in disdain by his people, partially on the account he followed Augustus- a savior, a god. He spent his life striving to life up to his predecessors name and when he couldn’t, he indulged his perversions in an effort to feel something, but ultimately “died, old and mad, lost in the pleasure gardens of Capri: not even happy there, as one might hope, but miserable.”

Re-reading books is great and good until it’s The Secret History by Donna Tartt and you realize that just like Tiberius tried to follow in Augustus’s footsteps, Henry tried to follow in Julian’s. You see Richard’s focus shift from Julian- who was at first a savior, a god- to Henry, a flawed student of his who, at his end, is held in disdain by the majority of his closest friends and is lost in the indulgence of his own perversions- his attempts (and, arguable, success) to finally live without thinking.

Re-reading books is great and good until it’s The Secret History by Donna Tartt and you get to the part where Richard asks Henry in his dream, “are you happy here?” And Henry responds, “Not particularly” and you realize that Henry, like Tiberius, had never known peace or happiness in life and certainly not in death and you were warned about it in Julian’s first lecture.
