Always “I Love You” And Never

ITS MINE. ITS MINE. ITS CERTAINLY MINE. IT BELONGS TO MY BOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Today I discovered that a couple of TSH characters were based on actual people Donna Tartt knew at Bennington College- amongst them were students Todd O'Neal and Matt Jacobsen, who were the inspiration for Henry and Bunny respectively.

AND JUST—

There's even their own comments about it and it's so funny wait:

Here's the source

Life is short. Drink another coffee. Read another book. Listen to your favourite song again. Hug your mom. Laugh. Cry. Dance in the rain. Push your friend off a cliff because of a milkshake.

YES THANK YOU TO THE PERSON WHO LIKED THAT POST

i would have shared it anyhow but here:

John Keats is a smash, lord Byron is a smash. Sappho’s a pass only because she’s a chick. If I liked chicks she’d be a smash. But titties are gross. So pass. Edgar Allen poe is a smash but only if you give me enough liquor to forget how much his hairline’s receding. Walt Whitman is a pass, Langston Hughes is a pass. Percy Shelley’s a smash but William Wordsworth is a pass. William Shakespeare is a pass. William Butler Yeats is a smash. T.S. Elliot is a pass. if you give me a shot or two of courage Oscar Wilde is a smash. more because of personality than looks. but i was also talking to my roommate that if given the chance i'd make a WONDERFUL lover to Oscar. i'd treat that man so good. Dante and Milton are both passes. Federico García Lorca is a S M A S H. Thoreau is a pass.  E.E. Cummings is a smash but only until his like early 30’s. young robert frost is a smash. 

My top three hottest from this list are Keats, Wilde, and Lorca, but Keats is only the top because, in my opinion, John is a more moanable name than Oscar. This is what I did instead of paying attention in my intro to lit and film class and working on my American censorship speech for Tuesday.

Talking about Rhetorical Fallacies in my Writing and Critical Inquiry class, my first thought was, "Well, letting trans children physically transition is going to lead to women getting SA'd in the bathroom."

And let me just say: what trans children do you know are physically transitioning? just to get a ballpark for numbers (I'm not saying this is an end-all be all- so don't come for me if the numbers are wrong.)

"The cost of FTM Top Surgery typically ranges from $6,000 to $16,000 USD (as of 2025). However, the price can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the surgeon, their location, and the type of Top Surgery." (topsurgery.net)

according to goodRX, Estrogen supplements are $34 every time you have to refill that (not even my sister's and mom's perscriptions combined are that much.)

and that's just two of the more expensive parts of transitions for both FTM and MTF.

Do you think anyone under 25 can afford that? The cost goes to the parents because the kids don't plan on paying for it (because they're children).

most adults I know can't afford top surgery.

Much less testosterone, bottom surgery, packers, binders, sex change on legal documents-

Do you know how fucking expensive, time-consuming, and difficult it is to change *anything* on a legal document?

So why in the hell do you think that you're gonna have 14-year-old trans boys running around with 16k and a scalpel? Or do you just want to control adults in your life, minding their own business under the guise of "protecting the children"?

Richard Papen is so damn real not because he was on drugs, not because he was an introverted weirdo. it's because he took one look at Francis Abernathy and decided to derail his entire life.

Way of the Water

Should I start talking to y'all about my book? I'm telling y'all about the characters and the world anyways.

Mostly because I want to build a fandom now so someone can eventually draw the twins as sharpay and ryan.

For one like I'll share my smash or pass list of famous poets.

(I really want to share it.)

To my three followers,

Y'all want my Hunger Games Arena ideas? I'm bored, and I wanna start posting more. You'll find I'm a very people-pleasing, indecisive man. So let me know if I should just keep my thoughts to myself.
