One of my favourite things about The Secret History is how one of the most famous quotes is “beauty is terror” and the whole aesthetic of the fandom embodies that exact sentiment, most times unknowingly. The piles of teacups with old dregs around the living room, the whisky stains, the cigarette butts, the description Henry’s apartment when Richard goes to get his book or the twins’ apartment when they have their first dinner. It’s terrible, the whole thing is a mess, and we all found such beauty in it, it’s amazing.
