okay well. firstly; first time seeing chronic migraine representation🫡 idk if author has CM, but she gave it justice, not dumbing it down to ‘just a headache.’ adding photophobia, phonophobia, feeling pressure in your head, losing track of time because youre just in and out of consciousness. EVEN how your thinking can be derailed, and trying to speak any language becomes mush…truly hats off for the REAL rep

idk how i feel about bunny atp. like dude is an asshat but then his psycho-tranced “friends” sip whiskey and essentially bitch about how annoying he is because he started screaming when they randomly showed up in the middle of the night wearing BLOOD SOAKED CHITONS…. yeah no shit hes horrified and yelling…??????

(potentially spoilers idk)
a sudden thought popped into my head midpage… is bunnys death gonna be a sacrificial lamb-type thing..?? like richard is asked to kill bunny as a way to.. prove himself? to be initiated into whatever this groups feral idea of a bacchanal..??

so uh... what the actual fuck. i feel like im back in uni again because my brain keeps writing analytical essays about richard.... the entire friendship thing is a whole other box of worms, so moreso mean the whole pneumonia thing... aint he the oldest in that group?? theres no way hes actually that naive, i totally think that behaviour is because of his continuously declining mental state. (tbc)

bunny is meant to only be loved as a concept. an idea. as a distant memory of a friendship lost, but adorned with rose-tinted lenses

on a reading roll rn, but i must vent… bro bunny is an asshole wtf lol. no wonder he died rip bozo. placing bets that hes the real homo here and all his bullshit is internalized homophobia. (also fuck it, imma ship richard x bunny cause i said so lol).
also the quote about richards ex; “…she was nothing more than a lowbrow, pop-psychology version of sylvia plath” (56) had me HOLLERINGGG DAMN
