0:00 Introduction
1:14 RICHARD
3:56 HENRY
7:31 BUNNY
9:47 FRANCIS
12:17 CHARLES
13:40 CAMILLA - Jak na to + styl
8:28 "Bunny has the style of dressing that is like, very, paid-with-daddy's-credit-card" when in reality it's henry buying him all that shit (Sugar daddy henry confirmed)
SUGAR DADDY HENRY OMG 💀canon
i relate to you because i too, cannot stop thinking about the secret history
it's so good😭
@@sodagoth yep love the part when donna says the n word. "sand niggers" literally slays 😍
Agree. I read tshistory 4 times is like a ossesion
same😀
Idk why but I feel like Francis would be CRAZY about embroidery and Camilla would always ask him to embroider tiny flowers, fruits, animals etc into the corners of her shirt collars, gloves, handkerchiefs, and pretty much anything else.
yea i can see it
I don't feel Bunny would be a stylish dresser at all, but a huge fan of brand names. The type of guy that would wear a Ralph Lauren Polo shirt, but only the one with the biggest possible Polo patch. And a GIANT Gucci belt buckle. That type of tacky brand name focused style.
Henry seems an absolute Spartan minimalist, so I don't feel he would have a lot of colour, and definitely no patterns. Or really care to much about clothes beyond their social role and function. I also think his appreciation for Gucci is the concept rather than the actual clothes and style. Also he's absolutely enormous, bigger than Bunny who is described as 6'3" tall ex-football jock, so he might be limited to bespoke clothing.
Richard, until Francis gifts him some suits, is probably a mess of tolerable vintage pieces, and super cheap stuff that might look the part at 20 feet away, but obvious to anyone who actually cares up close, supported by Bunny's later aggressive teasing.
Francis would be a fan of embroidery, I believe. He wouldn’t wear it much but knows when and how and what type of embroidery to put. To me he radiates elegance, so I’d also say he knows how to style velvet
HENRY IS MY FAV TOO. okay. You don’t even know how comforting this video is - I’ve been searching for reviews to feed my obsession and this is the first one that just *gets it*
that makes me so happy omg
@@sodagoth big brain content
i think this is one of the finest videos i've ever seen, a real gem
omg thank you that is such a big compliment
Okay, I know I'm like a year late, but I would love to see how you would style Judy Poovey and Marion.
"This is the only story I will ever be able to tell..."
Well, this is all I want to read.
I just finished the book and I also miss it a lot while trying to read other things! My favorite was Francis for sure. I would recommend “ if we were villains” is not the same at all, the writing stile is not as good but the vibes are similar.
yeah, francis was the only good person in the entire book tbh. i’ll check it out, ty!!
I've read If They Were Villains also. It's a good one to follow after The Secret History. Just my personal opinion, TSH is way better.
love your video but i disagree slightly on some points
1) henry said he likes gucci because it's over the top and ugly, and i feel like he admires the dedication to kitsch but he doesn't give the impression of a person who would wear it. i imagine him wearing suits all the time, mostly black but sometimes black with thin grey stripes, always in a three-piece except for when he's having a migraine, when he loses a jacket and a vest and maybe rolls up the sleeves of his shirt and unbuttons the collar, tie loosely hanging around his neck. he puts on an air of a stoic who doesn't care much about fancy looks (imo) but he's always put together and all his suits look basic but are crazy expensive
2) I don't think camilla actually wears a lot of dresses. it is mentioned that a lot of her clothes are actually charles', and i think her femininity is more of a description of attitude than the looks. i think sometimes she might wear a midi skirt, combined with charles' shirt, but mostly a lot of wide-legged pants, turtlenecks and oversized shirts. and i feel like she would prefer classic oxford shoes
3) richard at the beginning of the book is more of a normie, i think. i feel like when he only arrives on campus he would wear something more basic, like a checkered shirt and baggy pants, and only when he becomes obsessed with the classicists he starts emulating them and wearing more classical style, and also i think it would be a nice touch to make him the only one of the group to not wear a vest ever, as to subtly signal visually that he's still an outsider. i certainly see him as a person who, out of all classicists, is most likely to only wear shirt and trousers with no jacket on casual meetings
sorry if I don't make much sence, english is my 2nd language and i only read the book in translation to my native one
great analysis! actually, henry’s conservative clothing style and his love for gucci aren’t mutually exclusive - back then gucci was far from being the wacky and campy brand it is today. the book is set even before tom ford became creative director and made it attractive to young people. before that (and even now still), a luxurious and well-tailored suit was a staple at gucci.
I totally agree
I have so. many. opinions about tsh and I somehow did not disagree with you once. I laughed audibly at "the thing that is not Pepsi" and also at "not a fan of gucci." thank you for feeding my morbid longing for all things picturesque with this lovely video. if you'll excuse me, I'm off to buy a blazer and a white tennis skirt
I love this, it was so thoughtfully and tastefully made!!! One other random detail I remember from the book is that Francis had a nice silk scarf with clocks on it, and I think some kid (one of Bunny’s relatives) wrapped it around a chicken drumstick😭 but yeah I think he likes fun scarves- I know he bought a fun scarf for Richard at one point too (when he went away for the weekend shortly after the funeral, and he also bought Henry the most boring book he could find at the store haha). Thank you for all your hard work!
Francis is the Dandy .Henry would wear English suits .Camilla rich summer dress Italian features.Judy the real person was in the band the fall.
This is amazing and it feeds my tsh obsession!
happy i could help with that😌
I finished TSH two days ago and simply can not stop thinking about it. This video was such a blessing girl 😭
as a marauders fan, i was not expecting you to drop that bomb
this is brilliant and so so much fun! your voice is very soothing and the fits of each character are made with so much effort, I just love it so much
this deserves so much more recognition wtf, video is so well done.
I absolutely love this. This is all I’ve ever wanted, ever needed. Thank you for your service.
the first slide of richard: the picture of alain delon attacked me. 10/10
Your video is just fantastic! I must confess that this has happened to me with this book, I cannot let go...
I am nothing in my soul if not obsessive.
That makes two of us.
Lilith you are absolutely adorable. I enjoyed this, thank you!
i’m so glad you did!!
You should make this a series!! Please do My Year of Rest and Relaxation
I'm in tears. This video is just perfect
i am so so so in love with your accent and the way you talk i could listen to you narrate an audiobook for sixteen hours
tsh audiobook dropping soon🤪🤪👼
This is super accurate & totally genius.
This video is great! I'm so happy that I found it.
I didn’t know I needed this but thank you for proving me wrong.
This video is golden
such a nice video, i like your analysis !!
thank you:))
This is so accurate i love it:)
loved the incusion of the river phoenix picture
oml this video is too good. the vibes were 100 % acurate especially the "pointy francis". the style was also really etertaining!!
Just starting this book it really draws you in from the beginning IMO. Its all about the characters with this one.
new comfort video discovered
I've never seen anyone else make secret history content on CZcams omg
8:28 except instead of his dad's credit card it's Henry's lmao
8:28 "daddy's card" and daddy is Henry
true😭😭
This is the best youtube video to exist.
I just finished the book two days ago. Began re-reading it yesterday……
omg i feel😩😩 it took me everything to read a different book
@@sodagoth I’m still trying !! I’m a couple pages into “if we were villains” and lowkey still re reading TSH💀
@@notria6683 omg that is going on my reading list
god bless your soul and your mind. splendid video!!!
I'm a virgo sun and scorpio moon and I'm all for velvet so cookie points for that. Loved the video, these pinterest boards of characters i'm obsessed with are a thing I do all the time when I can't get over a book or movie so I'm happy I'm not alone lol
yes omg literally the best thing
i am SHOOK i also read the secret history a couple of weeks ago and the next book i read was wuthering heights .
how is wuthering heights? i still haven't read it lmao
@@sodagoth please do it's actually fire
@@sodagoth its so good might be one of the best!
loved this video
lilith is queen of mood boards
feeling blessed😌
i love this video very very much and i fully agree this is what they would all wear but as someone who studies a classic language at university, we wear t-shirts and jeans most of the time lmfao, mostly doc martens, the three piece suits are for the economics and management majors
Love this
the cutest "wadafck" i've ever heard
i agree with everything and pointy francis
the random marauders references were the cherry on top for me
5:25 the thought of henry thinking this is so funny to me 😭😭😏😏
omgggggg my kind of content!!!!!
Henry the best fr
love him sm
You just get it.
Bunny wears a scarf because I remember that there is one that he left in Camilla and Charles' house
If they could get Alfonso Cuarón or David Fincher to direct this movie that’d be great.
i can see paul thomas anderson as well
I noticed that you seem to also have an obsession for Johnny Depp that you inserted into the presentation and put around everywhere.
Your earings are very pretty, could you pls tell me where did you get them?✨️
sorry this video was late, i fell off a horse and had to go to the hospital
ayo :00 hope ure good
@@oxiary ty i think so
Calling Henry rational is an interesting take fs
lmao when you put it that way i probably should’ve said type a
Girl!! Amazing video and amazing book. You resemble Lily-Rose Depp soooo much. Wonderful accent too!🌷🌸🪞
The end seems like a jealous murder is a little disillusioned what you think about?
quenching my thirst
What font did you use for the presentation?
helvetica neue bold 😌
What a beautiful girl
Camilla definitely to me would wear sundresses and fur coats
Sorry for asking but where are your earrings from, and what are they called, please? They're AMAZINGGG
they're from a brand called kindness official! idk what they are called but i dont think they have that many products
@@sodagoth thanks so much! Have a wonderful week 💗🌻
Giiirrrrrl where is the white crochet hat with insects on it from 15:37 :(((( i need to make itttt
it’s by a designer called laura dalgaard!
@@sodagoth oh my god thank you! There even is a pattern available on their site! 💖
Fancasting Karl Lagerfeld as Julian
read the Magus...
Omg what’s your goodreads?
it’s @sodagoth! i didn’t have a username before but now i got one lol
Me when I'm a Virgo sun and Scorpio moon during the Henry section 😳
Camilla and Charles dress old money asthetic (like gwyneth paltrow but make it 80s)
you re such a cutie
I lost interest for the characters a bit after bunny died. They all just read like the same person.
That may be intentional. Because they're all incredibly flawed and it's a Greek tragedy really.
Bunny (with all his annoyances and flaws) was still the only thread to humanity in the group. He wasn't as isolated as the rest and was more a normie.
And I'm a firm believer that if the narrator of the story is often drunk or high, then, the story isn't always true. So it's upto us to read between the lines and draw our own conclusions.
Is that a girly book?
Edit: nvm. sound like a girl’s dark fantasy.
i think everyone should read this book and it’s not fantasy
@@sodagoth what I mean by fantasy is " what girls lean into more." Plus I search up dark academia... I'm not into the asthetics, sorry.
@@kalebgonzales4009 you’re missing out on a fantastic book.
