What your farovourite “The Secret History” hacracter says about you

1. Richard - you need acceptation and friends. You underestimate yourself and probably listen to hozier or the neighbourhood
2. Francis - you are probably the “Heather” & you can pull off ony outfit. You also kinda need emotional support
3. Camila - kinda basic choice but i mean, you are not wrong. You are definifley the cool kind of person, no one hates you, you are probably mom of the group & you have strong opinions
4. Charles - you holdin up? You need some emotional support? Also, you are probably toxic
5. Henry - you are little bit pretentious but you are liked by everyone, althrough you don’t like everyone. You like having everything planned ale you are probably more intelligent than you think. I like u
6. Julian - you need more friends or just miss your dad. It is probably not your fault, but you tend to procatinate despite being ambitious.
7. Bunny - you eighter don’t exist or just can’t get over something traumatic

Henry smiled. “Why, looking for new ferns.”

new video about the two playlists I made inspired by dark academia and The Secret History. you can listen to these songs while writing, reading or at any other time <3

“There are such things as ghosts. People everywhere have always known that. And we believe in them every bit as much as Homer did. Only now, we call them by different names. Memory. The unconscious.”

-Donna Tartt; The Secret History

“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”

-Donna Tartt; The Secret History

I just created a playlist dedicated to “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt and these songs remind me of the various characters. I can’t get this book out of my mind, but at least now I can daydream about them while listening to music.
