“Maybe that’s why I tend to equate physical beauty with qualities with which it has absolutely nothing to do. I see a pretty mouth or a moody pair of eyes and imagine all sorts of deep affinities, private kinships. Never mind that half a dozen jerks are clustered round the same person, just because they’ve been duped by the same pair of eyes.” — *[Francis] “The Secret History” by Donna Tartt*

I know I’m probably the only person who likes The Secret History on here, but, if I’m not and if that someone else wants to draw The Secret History characters, listen to me. Camilla doesn’t have long hair and she doesn’t often wear dresses, that’s the devil speaking. Her hair is canonically only slightly longer than Charles’ and in a masculine cut, and she routinely steals his clothes.
Sincerely, someone who supports all artists doing whatever the hell they want but is also quite frankly tired of only ever seeing her drawn in long hair and frilly dresses

Does such a thing as "the fatal flaw," that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does.7/32
