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
unpopular opinion i think that bunny was the most.. morally correct one of them and he's nearly normal unlike them
Tsh fandom has many many faults but by far the most irritating is when they decide to nitpick which actions are justifiable or even non-existant and which are disproportionately vile and irredeemable just so they can place some characters (francis, camilla) on a higher moral plane than others (bunny, charles) like they weren't all equally awful people and the point wasnt that they were all batshit crazy

الله يعينك و ينجحك
Nil desperandum
My place was forever on the scene
Arms swinging and words soaring
But I sadly lost my blue dream..
Those Obscure eyes pierced my heart
Then traced my warped destined path
Are we free? Or indeed Man is confined..
Tied to that thick and long serpent-like rope
He turns around, again and again.. a third last time..
Two last breaths coming out of his mouth.
He flies unbound, finally opens his wings
He looked up to the sky
"It will always be here !" He shouts;
The big lapis canvas invites us finally
To our one true Homeland
Of wine rivers and dripping honey
"Welcome back, my dear." You hear them say;
You're finally in the realm of Poppy and May.

One thing i can yap and yap on about for ages is the fact that the greek class cant for the life of them grasp the fact that bunny is upset by the murder of the farmer
When henry is telling the story of the bacchanal to richard, he says bunny couldnt understand how serious the situation was because he was freaking out which is funny, because he was the only one who understood
Henry also said that bunny wasnt upset about the murder but rather about the fact that theyd gone without him, and that he couldn't possibly care that theyd killed a man because he wasnt "exactly the most moral man" as if u needed to be fucking gandhi to realize that killing someone is wrong
When bunny started acting out they were all convinced he was doing it out of spite or to get under their skin, completely ignoring the signs that showed he was having a complete nervous breakdown and was slowly losing his mind because of what they had done
This is because they themselves did not see the act as something that was morally wrong, but rather an inconvenience for them. Like francis said, it wasnt voltaire they killed. They were so out of touch with reality that they lived not in this world but in one where morality doesnt exist, one they are the center of where the gods personally descend to be by their side. They lived in their ancient tales and greek poems. Bunny was the only one who was grounded and they cant understand that. It doesnt even begin to cross their minds. And its the same with bunnys death, they dont care about the morality of it because in their mind they are closer to gods than to humans and gods do whatever they please. They can kill a farmer and who cares? Its not like he was voltaire. They can kill their friend and who cares? Heroes kill and heroes die all the time.
this distance between them and the real world is the most important part of their characters because it explains everything else, from the incest to henrys suicide. Bunny was the only one who was rooted to reality which is what always set him apart from the rest and most importantly why things started to spiral out of control as soon as they killed him. He was their anchor to the real world and to sanity.
I watched this beautiful 1930's movie and I recommend it sooo much ! It was beautiful.. It's called Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (maybe i'm just a little biased because Gary Cooper was such a fine man)
Don't stay silent when you see injustice !
by the way your voice always matters in the fight against injustice. every single time you speak out against an injustice it matters. it sheds light on it. it empowers others to speak up. it matters
Honestly i feel like i just recently discovered free will. Nothing can make me sad anymore. Likr whats gonna happen? If i fail this i can try again, if i cant i can search for something else to do. Its never that deep guys.

I talked about this in my throat punching post, but I after a recent experience, I thought it would be fun to point out how weak this little bone is. The hyoid is a U-shaped bone that sits above your laryngeal prominence (aka Adam's apple) and behind the jaw. It isn't attached to any other bones, but serves as the attachment site for a lot of muscles in the lower jaw and upper neck. You can palpate it, but be careful! You are capable of breaking your own hyoid bone. It requires 3-4kg (6-7lbs) of squeezing to fracture it. For reference, a human is capable of creating a pinch (index to thumb) strength of 5-8kg (11-17 lbs). Now imagine if someone is getting choked (it's not good).
Hyoid bone fractures can be life threatening, as this bone is important in the structures of the upper respiratory tract (breathing is very important). It can cause pharyngeal and laryngeal spasms, which leads to asphyxiation (you can't breathe). This can be fixed with a tracheotomy and tube placement, but sometimes patients don't know they've broken their hyoid until they can't breathe.
And for the personal experience: I was trying to explain the muscles of the throat to this girl in my anatomy group, and she had no idea what the hyoid was. So I was like "lemme just grab it real quick and let her feel it." I was a bit pissed off, I'll admit, when I did that. So I grabbed that bone pretty roughly and just snapped that motherfucker like the wishbone of a chicken. I knew it was tender, but holy shit it has no integrity. It turns out I was right all these years for having an fear of people grabbing my neck.
