peoples povs on the book are SHIT
trigger warnings; mentions of grooming, rape, etc. be warned.
i don’t get how anyone can justify any of the characters in the secret history. bunny was a blackmailing bigot; richard had an ankle fetish, said he wanted to rape camilla, romanticized everyone & mainly camilla to the point where we didn’t even get to know the real her; charles was an incestuous abusive alcoholic; camilla was also incestuous which js really the only thing we know about her; francis literally said he would get charles to sleep with him if he was intoxicated & tried to sleep with richard even though he was also intoxicated and kept saying stop; henry was sociopathic and literally murdered someone (though imo he was like…the sanest of the group if we’re comparing all this shit); julian isolated, manipulated, and possibly groomed all of the students, he made them hide their flaws and only acknowledged what he thought was good in them … oh AND he encouraged the ritual and didn’t do anything when they killed the farmer and it was probably a cult
the fandom romanticizes everyone one way or another and it sucks ass because it’s either ppl are romanticizing the characters (mostly henry; he’s seen as some hot booktok boyfriend daddy in the fandom) or yelling at people saying 'YOU MISSED THE FUCKING POINT' like that isn’t gonna help bro 🙏 we like henry because yes he did murder someone but he wasn’t an incestuous rapist freak was he. he’s a very well thought out character and ?? in my opinion ?? the most likable of them all
the overall meaning of the book is don’t do crazy shit just for the aesthetic because?? most of what they did WAS just for the aesthetic like henry literally dropped out of high school because the SATs didn’t fit his vibe, francis smoked like a fuck ton a day just for the aesthetic and everyone in the group did drugs and were alcoholics (not as bad as charles ….) JUST FOR THE VIBE OF IT. they literally had a ritualistic orgy for the sake of the aesthetic…… henry literally said killing for the aesthetic made him able to live life without thinking. like go sociopathic boy go

bunny is NOT INNOCENT
trigger warnings; overall talk about bunnys actions, mostly just bigotry, also some eating disorder mentions.
i hate bunny meat riders brooo HE DOESNT WANT YOU. he is a bigoted FREAK. he is not "charming", he is not redeemable, none of them are redeemable, but bunny meat riders think that everyone else shouldve died and bunny shouldve lived because aww hes a perfect little angel :3 but he ISNT!!!! HES A BIGOT!!!! HES A FREAAKKK!!!! he didnt deserve to die but bro i dont think he'd like any of his worshippers. maybe he would because they worship him but yk, most of you are women, and he's described as being sexist..... hmm makes you think!!!! i do think he had an eating disorder . but i saw aomeone say he had bpd and i. no?? as someone with bpd this feels sort of stereotypical since yes he had a bit of anger issues and he was loud but that doesnt automatically mean he has bpd. do yohr research freaks plz and dni bunny stans
