I'm Fine (writes A Poem Related To Death)

I love both the sketch and the colored version but i have to admit the coloured one is my favorite <33

I finished reading "The secret history" by Donna Tartt the other day and the characters are not going to let me go. The book is kinda mesmerizing, I loved the language immediately (and read the whole 600-page book in one week). The characters are perfect in the way they're written. At first I agreed with Richard's view on the group. They were all so mysterious, ideal, that I couldn't even imagine how complicated and awful their lives in fact were (Charles was my favourite character until THE LAST CHAPTER, Charles, wtf are you doing?!)

So here are my sketch of Henry with symbolism attempt

Also colourful version for flower language, 'cause colours are important. But I don't like how the final work looks like (

Yellow lily - friendship

Lycoris - in Japan is believed to foreshadow death and grief

Purple calla - symbolizes sorrow and grief

In light of Imane Khelif's lawsuit against jk Rowling, and in the same vein as Tim waltz' "weird" I think we honestly should just call joanne a bully literally any time she starts Terfposting. Like a cat with a spray bottle

running errands like kurt vonnegut

THE SERIES GOES ON :

Gregory Peck !!

whenever i’m having a bad day, i always remind myself that henry marchbanks winter is over 6 foot, buff as fuck, and broke a dudes ribs and collarbone and not even 6 guys could get him to stop fighting

and i understand camilla a little more

Alain Delon !

It was honestly hard for me to make these pngs and I know it looks kinda messy but its good enough imo ♡

The Greek Class didn't destroy Richard, he brought that on himself.

He chose to be destroyed and I am sure a part of him wanted to be.

He's the type of person who wants to be different, to be admired, to be apart from normal people.

That's why he tried to get in the Greek class in the first place even when Julian rejected him ounce, he wanted to be with the elites, to be exclusive.

Richard does show remorse for his actions at times but that doesn't mean he didn't find it thrilling.

He wanted an adventure, to see a tragedy, to be part of something dramatic and exciting. He was bored in his little town, around distant parents and normal friends.

He has always felt like he was above other people and he does look down on others who don't understand or follow his ideals.

His idolization of the Greek class is the reason he got destroyed, he was blinded by the opportunity to be included and accepted by them that he didn't look back at the mistakes he made for them.

Richard's story is a cautionary tale about foregoing your sanity and ethics for a broken, one sided friendship. They used him again and again, he did everything for them. Never questioning what he was really doing.

In the end, he was never a part of their group.

He was just there.

HONESTLY i nearly never read poetry except for arabic poetry of the Jahiliya and Abbassid periods (it's amazing) because i found that english poetry is plain compared to it (i read some of Emily Dickinson's poetry) and even french poetry seemed better imo

My hot take is that i dont give a fuck about your poem about pomegranates and cannibalism as a metaphor for love

Poem, Langston Hughes

Lamias always on their knees begging smh..

Lamia and the Soldier (1905) by John William Waterhouse
