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 still believe that one of the prettiest love stories has to be the love story of the god Eros with Psyche, while the story of Appollo with Daphne is a beautiful yet heart wrenching tragedy in a way that it had love and disgust.. (one sided love). What's really magnificent about mythologies in general is that they make us see the world differently. A laurel tree is no longer a tree; but a last attempt of staying pure from the hands of the detested one.
chaotic forever.
dark academia: keeps journals, systemically organized bookshelves, mostly reads classic books and pretentious literature, neat handwritting, probably uses a fountain pen, drinks coffee, tea or wine, will quote authors or movies to asssert dominance, dresses posh even on a budget.
chaotic academia: keeps commonplace books, stacks of books everywhere, either books you probably never heard of or popular YA, bad handwritting, has a chewed off pencil or a gel pen, drinks juice or energy drinks, will paraphase authors for comedic effect, too tired to dress up, but still tries.

to M.
Like the lion of the Atlas, wild and free,
Whose roar shakes the heavens and calls to me,
You crept into my heart a force so strong,
And taught my wings to rise, all bold.
Through all the storms, you stood proud and tall,
ⵓⵍ ⵏ ⵉⵣⴻⵎ, the bravest of them all.
On this special day, I celebrate you,
May peace and love always find you <3

Tate buds are a special sense structures that can detect five categories of flavor: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami (savory). Spice is not detected by these receptors, and instead, is picked up by nociceptors (pain receptors). Our brain can interpret that pain as a taste: spicy. But, since it is not detected by true taste receptors, it is not counted as one of the five flavors. This is also why pain tolerance is related to spice tolerance. And, as a fun fact, this means that any nerve receptor on a mucosal surface can "taste" spicy (eye, nose, genital, and anal mucosa are all included here). Have fun with that last fact, lol.
I didn’t like having to explain to them, so I just shut up, smoked a cigarette, and looked at the sea.

Beautiful and thanks for making me cry darling
I rewatched Dead Poets Society a few weeks ago and felt inspired to write this contrapuntal poem :)
