This is a The Secret History sideblog, and I won't be posting much about anything else unless it also relates to TSH. But if you'd like to know more about me, I'm interested in fashion and perfume and learning languages.

i feel like i dont really see a lot of people talking about francis is because donna tartt didnt really try to touch on his complexity. he's a pathetic, repressed, predatory coward who happens to be gay, who hates his families and the irony is that he returns to his family in the end and still marries a woman! so he tries to kill himself, didn't work, he's still stuck in that real world.
and listen, he just HAPPENS to be gay. it's not like anybody in this world can choose their own sexuality. this shallow representation of a gay man probably only fuelled some 80s homophobe to be more prejudiced instead of you know, developing some pity and compassion. why is it that the only major points he has is locational, raping charles, and contracting panic disorders because of the trauma of killing somebody? his freudian-stereotypical backstory of having no father and an addict mother as some sort of root cause for his sexuality.
he's a hypocrite (acting like some rebellious intellectual elite even though he still relies heavily on his generational wealth), doesn't fight for his freedom, and ultimately a conformist.
outside of the fact that he never had his autonomy as a kid and therefore taking charles's autonomy, what else? what else is there about him? HES SO UNDERWRITTEN!!!! PLEASE!!!!
i cant even manage to gain a more nuanced opinion of him because i simply CANNOT find anything about him!!!!
i think eva stratt could've fixed henry winter. unfortunately she's already picked her pet, and he's already got the worst mentor for him. c'est la vie ig.
the greek class as things people have said about me in the past 3 days (first week of semester, new course)
henry: "i feel like if i had to design the target audience for this course as a person, it would just be you"
bunny: (about my fuckoff huge satchel) "that's like an artist's bag"
francis: "but you're like, rich, right?" (i hadn't said anything related to money)
charles: "you seem like a really nice person, but maybe you're secretly evil or something"
camilla: (this 17 year old who guessed my entire medical history correctly unprompted) "i can tell, it's the trauma look you have"
richard: (after i said which suburb i'm from) "it shows" (???)

winning at museum school by being clocked as a tsh fan
the twins are on the larger side of midsized and i will die on this hill. charles whose stomach forms rolls when he bends over. camilla with a muffin top and a soft chin. bunny saying that it makes camilla unfeminine, that charles probably got that way by drinking too much. you see my vision?
in another life richard is obsessed with 2014 5sos. i'm talking heartbreak girl, try hard, rejects, gotta get out, just saying, end up here, social casualty, daylight, etc. etc. it's like almost too up his alley, complete with the band being very popular but the fans all like to pretend they're niche and have a superiority complex about listening to them over 1d or something (even though they sound very similar).
hey um what if instead of doing a master's by research, i just write a series of essays and publish them, either online, or officially as individual articles or a book? how would you all feel about that? because i was thinking of taking a painting course on top of library studies to prepare for a different postgrad i kind of need to get a job, so like idk if i have time to get another master's just for vanity or because i can. no matter what, i want to be looking at the scholarship, referencing things properly, and putting together a coherent argument. the question is the format. so:
master's (1 thesis, research framework + 6 topics, 3000 words per topic)
pros - i get a qualification, i can work with my favourite professor again
cons - need to use my real name, a lot of boring parts and structure i don't feel like doing, time pressure, need to finish all my points before sharing it
book (same thing but no formal research section, maybe i could ramble a bit?)
pros - i don't have to do the lit review or methodologies sections (can skip straight to my points), could use a pen name so no doxxing required, it's officially published all in one place
cons - need to wait until everything's done to get any feedback, honestly i've never seen this kind of thing (super in depth character analysis) as a book before so idk which publisher would pick it up
articles (6 articles, 3000-3500 words per article)
pros - less time pressure/don't need to completely finish before people can see it
cons - real name issue, this might not be considered serious enough for anyone to publish, would be serialised so would require multiple applications to all succeed
blog posts/substack? (20+ posts - one for each point, variable in length but probably around 1000 words per point)
pros - most accessible to the widest range of people, can do it in my own time, don't have to doxx myself at all, might be able to split it even smaller into individual points per post instead of 3+ point essays, can make claims without needing to back it up with hard evidence (eg when is tsh set?), if enough people want it i could self publish so it's got potential to be a book anyway
cons - literally no academic validation, whatever i write will count as a non scholarly source even if it's the exact same as what i would've had published, puts it further down on my priorities list
thoughts?

Another thing about Francis’ claim that Camilla led on Henry and Richard, why would she do that? We don’t see any evidence of this in the book, but given how ‘possessive’ Charles is, why would she lead them both on in front of him and risk putting herself in a dangerous situation? Charles tries to kill her when he finds out she’s actually been seeing Henry. They both had to take pains to keep their relationship a secret, so why would Camilla lead someone on, just because she can, in the presence of her crazy and jealous brother?
literally!!! like is camilla leading richard on or is she just painfully aware of how he sees her and trying to be polite despite this? is he being led on or is he interpreting basic human kindness as flirtation because he likes how she looks?
imo francis might have heard camilla acknowledge that she's aware of richard's crush on her but that she isn't going to date him or something. like i don't think francis just pulled that out of nothing, or exclusively the way the she acts around richard. they (francis and camilla) are pretty close, so i think him telling richard that wasn't pure conjecture, just a really uncharitable interpretation of what she might have said. which was obviously out of jealousy etc etc.
larping chapter 2 by buying beaudelaire's the flowers of evil (dual text edition) and imagining francis reading the french side in 'the same lazy way he spoke in english' or whatever it is richard said
picturing francis & richard both very drunk and giggling, shoved into the backseat of henry's car after dinner at the twins
craziest thing about abercaulay is i dont even think the sex was good… they were compromising their moral compasses and feeding their self loathing for five mid strokes and no aftercare
i cant believe i never posted this one here

the primary difference between the two greek students who didn't attend the bacchanal:
bunny = how DARE you commit murder without me?!? are we not friends??? for shame!!! i'm going to psychologically torture you all now
richard = no, of course i'm not mad that you committed murder without me. i'll be there for the next one. ❤️
