Finished reading the secret history (spoilers)

Thoughts :

1. yeah Camilla didnt kiss Richard. Doesn't make sense.

2. Julian fucking sucks.

3. Wtf did Henry say to Camilla I need to know.

4. Henry not being happy even after death just like Tiberius wasn't happy in the garden.

5. I love how Donna tart manipulated us into falling for the aesthetics.

6. Henry is terrifying but also my favourite character.

7. Did they really kill that farmer or was it a wild animal. Remember they said there was a fifth person that was changing form? What if that was an animal that killed the farmer. And then to cover up the murder ( that they didn't commit) they had to kill bunny.

8. I definitely knew that incest was coming. I mean bunny made horrible jokes but none of those jokes were lies.

9. But the group not caring about the incest was surprising.

10. Would the characters have gone through with killing bunny if Henry wasn't telling them they had to.

Richard- following Henry/wants to fit in

Camilla- yes

Charles - no

Francis - yeah

11. I wish we had gotten to see more of Henry's kind cause he just have been pretty broken for him to kill himself.

12. Oh nothing, just Julian conforming Henry's messed up notions.

Death is the mother of beauty.

And what is beauty?

Terror.

Well said.

13. I wish we got more of Camilla but because Richard is a man every time we see her he's just describing how beautiful it is.

Reading the secret history and something about Henry is fishy. I don't buy the story, there's something more going on.

The thing that bothers me so much about the "Romeo and Juliet just knew each other for a few days, it wasn't a love story " take is that, who are we to decide that ?

Take the time into context. This play is set at a time where most plays were short. The story in the play took place in a short time. He couldn't write a 100 pages of romeo and juliet getting to know each other and falling in love. And his plays were meant to be felt. Not analysed. Doesn't the passion in Romeo and juliets lines tell you of their love for each other. His plays weren't high art. Do you think he was sitting at his desk thinking ' how are people 400 years from now gonna interpret this' ? We Iive in a time and context where two people who have known each other for just a few days being in love seems stupid. Impossible. Back then, Petrarch wrote poems about a woman he had only seen. They only knew each other for a few days. And yet they cared deeply for each other. Kids. Who have no one else to turn to and so find peace and kindness and love in each other and then so fast it is snatched away from them.

Their first convo forms a sonnet. "O Romeo, romeo, wherefort art thou Romeo" this girl is dreaming about him a few hours after meeting him. Romeo immediately forgets Rosaline after seeing her. There are two ways of interpreting this. The first- he's a playboy. The second - he thinks juliet is so beautiful and is so enchanted by her that he immediately forgets a girl who he was genuinely very sad about.

If it is lust, what limits will these people go to for lust? I mean how horny are they ? Horny enough to kill themselves ?? That's fucking insane. Is juliet so horny that she still wants to have sex with Romeo even after he killed her cousin ? That's ridiculous. Also are you gonna tell me that romeo was a playboy who killed himself for lust ?? Seriously?? I think that lust definitely played a part in bringing them together but they also loved each other.

Romeo chose to die after finding out that juliet is dead. And juliet decided to do that after finding out romeo is dead. You don't do that for someone you're just horny about.

Anyway just a not that well thought out post. Shakespeare is my current obsession. Recommend theatre adaptations of recommend juliet to watch please 🙏

My words fly up, my thoughts remain below.

Words without thoughts never to heaven go.

- Shakespeare (Hamlet). And I can't find it but this applies to Kendall saying that about his kids to rava too.

This is gonna be so good I can just feel it. Nudity, sexual content, violent content and drug use ? That's cinema baby.

The framing in this scene vs. The one where Tom betrays her

The Roy siblings

I find it so unbelievable that roman is the middle child. and shiv is the youngest. like shiv gives middle daughter vibes so obviously ? and roman is definitely the youngest, the attention craving? the way he annoys ppl? the fights he has with shiv? attention craving younger brother.

All the dark academics cry how they won't find someone who will say "you've bewitched me mind, body and soul." Meanwhile desi dark academics like me die thinking how no one will say "hum aapse be-inteha mohabbat karte hain."

In conclusion all we do is pine for men who don't exist.

The soundtrack and cinematography of qala (2022) is something that's very special to me. Best Bollywood album of the year.

Hot take but american audiences for some reason think that every piece of media is some kind of propaganda, not what a lot of media really is : just a story.

Damn Ishmael really loves water doesn't he. It's quite poetic how he talks about it. While it was long, it didn't get boring and i think that's special.
