She needs to be nicer to Harriet Taylor or I’m going to lose it

Much like Tony Curtis, I too like to make myself feel better in times of woe by buying the film rights to the autobiography of Gabriele d’Annunzio, “a wild, sexy artist not unlike myself”

I don’t think I’ve been this absorbed in a book in … a couple years at least

Roderick, I am literally begging you to stop being so complimentary about BP

RFO going to Nazi Germany in 1939 to visit the “blond bombshell” German Au Pair that he previously hooked up with and seeing all the German boys in their short shorts: HOT GIRL SUMMER

Honestly kind of obsessed with the 65 year old nun who’s like “yeah I’m a lesbian I kissed a lady once before we went bowling what about it?”

I just know that Florika was high as a kite while writing her essay for this book. And honestly? Good for her.

NIA!!!!!!

I love the wolves’s interactions so fricking much. It’s so cute!!!!!

Damian is lying in the dirt and asking if Amma hates him which is honestly so hot of him

It’s all in the small glowin’ tip of a cigarette in the hand of a man leanin’ back against a wall, watchin’ a girl walk by on her way home, knowin’ she’ll never get there.”

Scrambled eggs *are* sus and I’m so glad somebody finally said it
