Secret History - Blog Posts
You know how Julian says the divine comedy is incomprehensible to someone who isn’t a christian; the secret history doesn’t make sense if you don’t read it as Richard Papen. To truly appreciate the book you must be Richard as long as you read it.
Finished reading Secret History by Donna Tartt. It is long book but in my opinion it's worth it, even if ending is wild. Basically that's it, fallinh in love with dark academia aesthetic.
P.S. I absolutely love Francis Abernathy, this boy deserves everything
You're a Female Doctor in 19th century in London:
i’m just like henry winter
i too don’t believe the moon landing was real
feeling a little goofy, might take part in an ancient ritual in the middle of a forest with a group of insufferable greek students and accidentally kill a farmer whilst in a state of pure enlightenment, idk
i finally got the secret history and i was scanning through it and can someone pls tell me why is each chapter like at least 50 pages??? im one of those ppl that can read ten chapters 5pages each in an hour but will be fighting one 50 pages long chapter for like a week😭😭
jessica pratt's music and gordon's gardenparty by the cardigans radiate such camilla macaulay energy for me
The love language of annotating a book
there are a great deal too many books of which I have discovered for there to be only twenty-four hours in a day…far to little time I say
I think I'll forever be a Henry Winter apologist...
Hey there, folks! I don't really post much as I don't have much to post about, but this one is important to me.
My closest friend has been writing over the past few months. And personally, I find it to be extremely good. It's verbose and detailed even for the few chapters few currently out, but it's enthralling and grips you so quickly. Their characters have such great interactions with each other, their world feels mysterious and somewhat unknown, their ideas and universal mechanics are just downright exhilirating!!
So what exactly is it? We'll, let's get into that!
Welcome to:
Intermenides
Intermenides is an urban fantasy web novel focused around the story of August, Nadir, and Lawry trying to navigate a world beyond the veil of typical human understanding, one full of mystical beings and gods beyond comprehension, and the intersecting pair Silas and Rayne as they track down supernatural (henceforth referred to as Housefolk) dangers underneath the orders of the shadowy and questionable Ministry of Natural Law. A couple sources of inspiration include Paradox's World of Darkness and Weather Factory's Secret Histories games, but ultimately it was spawned from a writing prompt and grew into something larger due to passion and love of writing.
August Hall and Nadir Ruiz are on the run after a shapeshifter of some type took on Nadir's guise and attempted to kill him. Nadir, not knowing who else to go to, ran to August for help and resulted in her awakening to her latent spellcasting abilities and status as a witch. The mimic has not given up its search though, it continues to track and attack the pair seemingly regardless of where they go, for reasons they do not understand as of yet. The duo stumbled into Lawry, a disabled spellblade and former authority figure amongst the world of the Housefolk, and have been staying on the road with her in order to find a solution to their mimic issue; supposedly within a strange and magical book titled Intermenides XIV.
July Lawson, AKA Lawry, is a hard to read, closed off individual. She is often obfuscating information, if not outright lying about topics she believes the duo is not ready to be exposed to. She was once a noteworthy and recognized figure amongst the Housefolk, and a spellblade of borderline legendary status, yet somehow all traces of knowledge on her vanished years ago. Lawry has a strange demeanor to her; she seems distant and cold at times, sometimes even fearful of what might occur around her. Something appears to have scarred her both emotionally and magically, causing her to be unable to control spells without injuring herself and unable to find comfort in people. August and Nadir intend to try and help her heal.
Silas Everett is an overly professional and strict detective within the Ministry of Natural Law, at least on the surface. His jobs are often dangerous, his quarries often violent, and his handling must shift to match. But beneath that he has a genuine care for the Housefolk and merely wishes to keep their world from spiraling. He is known as a Ministry lap dog, doing anything and everything he is told without question, however that couldn't be further from the truth. He is aware that something within the Ministry isn't right, something has rotten it to the very core, and it's up to him and those he puts his trust in to figure out what. And who knows, maybe the Ministry isn't the only thing that isn't quite what it seems...
Rayne Harper! My gods, how I love Rayne. Rayne is a bubbly, sweet, and mildly mischievous lycanthrope under the handling of Silas after being taken in by the Ministry for crimes she had no part in. A little bit of a tease, she is one of the few that Silas lets his guard down around, she knows how he actually operates and relishes every moment away from the eyes of the Ministry. Rayne is one of the many Housefolk who are unjustly oppressed by the Ministry, being forced onto medication that suppress her abilities to shift forms and read emotions. She may be a nobody to the world at large, but her work at Silas' side will prove revolutionary.
I know that was a lot! I know I'm also not great at pitching things but I am earnestly trying my best and I promise that it's written exponentially better than my blurbs about it. I just love what Wren's doing with it, and I want them to continue because I can see how much it matters to them. They're trying to get a chapter out every week to two weeks. Mind you the chapters are quite long. So please, if it seems at all interesting to you, even the slightest bit, please go give it a try. It'd mean the world to both of us.
Thank you for reading!!
yes babe you’re sooo oscar wilde remus lupin black coffee vintage cups mozart art history murder classics rain latin ravenclaw henry winter type
"How would you describe most of your favorite shows/books?"
Like this:
bitches be like “this is the best piece of literature i have ever read” and it’s either a book that took them six weeks to finish or a fanfic they read at 3 AM
My favorite thing about the secret history is everyone of them either hates or desires eachother.
I understand why henry winter killed himself. Not because there is nowhere to escape anymore, its because he doesnt have any place to go since julian left. Henry doesnt belong to modern world and the only one who understands his own world is julian. They speak a language that no one can able to understand. They all can translate the sentences henry and julian speaks but they can never understand the way they use the terms. Henry loved camilla i belive that but he loved her in earthly way. He just answered her love. And he didnt love julian the way couples love, he loved julian with his mind and soul. Not with desire. He is craved to being undestand and he is addicted to the one who understands him. Henry never lowered himself infront of anyone he always has a cold gaze short words and intellegence but in his last time with julian henry was so weak and desperate infront of him. He knows he is gonna lose him cause he knows him too well. And he blames julians weakness. While he blames his self and knows that he cause all of this. He never felt guilty before his expression but after walking out that door a piece of him died. His thoughts got rude. Forcing him to death. But its obvious that he doesnt plan for suicide before he got that chance in his hand. He even planning to impound his car to richard for saving charles and himself. But the moment he got the gun in his hand he didnt even think and kiss his earthly love then -bang bang he hit the ground.
there is two songs plays on my mind:
the first one, where henry is weak infront of julian and the days after...
Cause there's nothing for us to talk about
Like the future and those things
Cause there's nothing for me to think about
Now that he's gone, I can't feel nothing-
-You did it, I never
I'm falling for forever
I'm playing head games with you.
and the second one:
Music played and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang
Now he's gone, I don't know why
Until this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
I saw Jane Birkin and immediately knew
