My source's author: "I have been kicking myself for decades over that mistake in the dialogue. It was the worst lapse of judgment on my part I can imagine. How did I not double-check that?" Me, the character who spoke that botched line of dialogue: "That's on me, actually. I was the one who legitimately said that wildly factually incorrect thing just because I wanted to sound cool."

God, I wish I could tell my source's author not to be embarrassed. You were channeling me perfectly! You didn't botch anything! I just suck at improvising my way through Latin. - Richard Papen, The Secret History

Canon lookalikes... I looked very much like Ben Solo from Star Wars, but younger and with slightly darker skin. My canon's Camilla looked a lot like a model from this life named Anastasia Zhikova, as she was albino in my canon. And Judy Poovey in my canon looked a lot like MJ in the MCU Spider-Man movies, except her hair was 4c naturally. (No shade towards MJs or the actress, hair texture varies among mixed people.) In a weird way, it makes me smile to see MJ content, because it reminds me of Judy and how she used to notice whenever I was depressed and drag me out to party, because she knew being around people was something that helped me feel better and made my depression more manageable. Thanks, Judes. I hope you, Camilla, Charles, and Bunny are all doing well in this life. You all deserve it. - Richard Papen, The Secret History

I sincerely hope Charles Macaulay feels sorry for the way he treated me and Camilla. Thanks for the dysmorphia and total loss of self esteem (#trafolv)
