Always “I love you” and never

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

If a gay person were to smoke weed and feel straight would it be homophobic pot?

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

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.

francis abernathy is genuinely god’s strongest warrior because how did this motherfucker survive THREE homoerotic failed situationships in a ROW, bunny, bunny’s murder, henry, richard, charles, incest twins, being a redhead, a SUICIDE ATTEMPT, being catholic, being gay in the 80s, being catholic AND gay BOTH in the 80s, multiple nervous breakdowns, vermont, an alcoholic absent mother, a homophobic grandpa, being fatherless AND to top it all off being the only diva in the classics group 😢

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.
