Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
I just realised how much I disliked Bunny (on my first read) because of his personality and not any of the others who ended up killing him.
We all collectively agreed
"I can excuse murder, but I draw the line at homophobia"
"You can excuse murder?"
Some happy TSH Headcanons:
Henry and Bunny bonded because they are both flat-earthers (sometimes they like to talk about it in front of Francis just to annoy him)
Camilla likes to grow flowers and Henry helps her in gardening.
Bunny likes to throw surprise birthday parties for his friends (they end up paying the bill).
Charles and Francis do role-play when they are bored.
Richard likes reading books a lot and since he isn't able to afford many, Henry gives him all his old copies.
Francis goes to Richard whenever he is sick ("I think I have Cholera" "You don't have Cholera, Francis")
Camilla and Francis bake together, they like gossiping about boys.
Charles calls Richard whenever he is drunk since no one else picks his phone (they know better).
Francis brought a house in Paris, he visits art galleries and boutiques.
Francis and Richard remain good friends despite their distances.
Camilla is secretly Julian's favourite student.
Bunny has a key to Henry's house because he sleeps there when Marion is mad at him.
Charles loves Champagne icecream, Camilla loves apricots (idk why but she looks like an apricot girlie)
Henry bought a Gucci bag for Francis's birthday ("Damnit Henry" "Why, I think it's rather grand!!!" )
Charles and Camilla have similar tastes in fashion, they buy their clothes together.
Henry keeps a detailed account of his every interaction with Julian.
Richard often forgets to eat, so Camilla always keeps something for him.
Henry respects Francis and considers him to be smarter than him at times.
First time reading The Secret History: A tragedy
Re-reading The Secret History: A comedy
I was laughing so hard when Bunny asked Henry what they all were doing up there, and FREAKING Henry Winter just says "Why, looking for new ferns"
He didn't have to say anything to Bunny. But Henry had to be dramatic before pushing his "best friend" to his death didn't he?
Henry Winter had a chance to be poetic and he was.
Richard: hehe....do you think Charles and Camilla are fucking eachother?
Francis: yes
Richard: *spits drink out* I was just kidding
Francis: we are all fucking eachother, when will you realise that?
(ps: I was clutching my imaginary pearls when that revelation happened)
Re-read TSH.....AGAIN
Here are some weird/wtf/sad moments and details I had forgotten:
•Henry wrote a diary entry about murdering a guy 🤨.
•then forgets that Bunny is capable enough to translate the diary entries and find out about the murder.
•Richard has a random thought about r-wording Camilla out of nowhere (*What the fuck Richard vine plays in the background*) 😳.
•The first time Richard sees the twins he thinks they are a couple..........hmm (I was sus about that from the start) 😶.
•Richard had two pages of internal monologue about Henry being gay.
•There was broken stuff in the twins dorm, which was due to Charles trashing the house whenever he is mad at Camilla (FUCK CHARLES).
•Franics was making passes at Richard multiple times.
•Francis and Camilla kissed for some reason, twice.
•Richard only studied greek before to have a language class that's in the afternoon so he could sleep late in the morning (sometimes I feel like he survives only on pure instinct).
•Richard was constantly finassing his employer.
•Henry and Charles were ready to throw hands at Judy (do NOT touch the queen you freaks).
•Henry planned multiple murder options for Bunny (💫dumb ways to die💫).
•Richard had no problem being an accomplice in murder for people he barely knows.
•Bunny drops multiple hints about the murder the others did early on.
•Nobody tried to save Camilla way before if they knew Charles's controlling nature (Henry taking her away was the best thing he ever did).
•Camilla and Henry had secret telephone codes.
•Francis was forced to have a lavender marriage ðŸ˜.
•all of this shit went down during one academic year.
•Camilla's whole purpose was to give storylines to Henry, Charles and Richard. She deserved so much better than that. And I don't want her to ever stay around any of the guys of the group (except for Francis).
•Julian was blissfully aware of the obsessive nature of his students, and not only encouraged it but directly lit the fire that caused them to become who they are. (He tried to pull a John Keating from DPS, but he could NEVER be the Dark Academia teacher icon)
BONUS:
Tally of the members of the greek gang who have kissed eachother (NOT COUNTING THE BACCHANAL, where they all fucked.....Idk what happens in a bacchanal, I am too scared to research)
Camilla: 4 (Henry, Francis, Charles, Richard)
Francis: 3 (Charles, Camilla, Richard)
Richard: 2 (Francis, Camilla)
Charles: 2 (Francis, Camilla)
Henry: 1 (Camilla)
Bunny: 0 (RIP, I guess 😅)
Henry: This year, I lost my dear friend Bunny Concoran.
Bunny: stop telling everyone I am dead
Henry: you just wait :)
Bunny: so what do we have for lunch....
Henry:.....wine
Bunny: I meant something we can eat.
Charles: which drug do you like? I don't have much on me but we can buy some.
Bunny: that's not what a human should have for lunch
Franics: I do the coffee, cigarettes and Maraschino Cherries diet, you wanna try?
Bunny: what the....
Camilla: we could have had some lamb chops but we don't have it anymore.
Bunny: why?
Camilla: we had to sacrifice the lamb during a ritual and bathe in its blood
Bunny: you know what I would rather be dead by eating grilled cheese sandwich and milkshake than hang out with you weirdos anymore
