#letters regarding jeeves #my pal bertie #dracula daily #jeeves #Tom Gauld #made this for myself because i started getting a bit green eyed over how big the dracula bookclub is #even though i totally understand that the appeal of dracula is naturally much broader #than the appeal of some episodic-ish comedic stories about a rich british aristocrat who talks weird and his hypercompetent servant #and anyway it's very cozy here in the jeeves corner I have to say #it's surprisingly nice to be involved in a fandom active enough to be engaging #but slow enough to be able to keep up with practically everything that's going on #idanit talks #? #i don't have a tag for memes lol

Socmed discussions about Saltburn, to me —

1) reveal that people are even more squeamish about explicit gay sexuality than they think they are

(And if this is what passes for shocking erotic excess, then we, in the anglosphere, are in a more — not making a comment about individuals here — restrained moment with mainstream American/British adult cinema than we were with mainstream adult heterosexual cinema in the 90s, eg the erotic thriller)

And

2) suggest people are increasingly making art that is in conversation with, if not explicitly nostalgic for, the 2010-16 Tumblr-era.

(I really truly suspect Saltburn is, in part, an adaptation of the tropes and aesthetics that were in certain “The Social Network” fan spaces.)

#Saltburn is a period piece of this very specific very Anglophile tumblr moment #that specifically was obsessed with poshness and the upper class (usually more or less aristocratic) of the UK #much of the tumblr cultural backlash to that moment (eg the British accent jokes now; the food jokes) #is just USAmericans getting embarrassed over having prostrated themselves at the uncaring altar of British old money #and in response to that embarrassment these USAmericans I guess just started shitting on poor British class signifiers (eg usually a lot of #the mockery is about northerners esp northern women) #which is really just a continuation of tasteless American passes at being ‘above’ the poor brits they’re mocking to align with the landed #and titled of the UK #which lol they hate you just like they hate the poor British!! silly silly silly attempt to appear worldly #and to be clear my comments are about a specific kind of American-Brit beef between white tumblr users #and none of the conversation is meaningfully about British colonialism or American cultural or literal imperialism #or even about anglocenticism in general #j realize this a lot to write about something that can be boiled down to : specious and inane comments r being made by the stupidest of the #site from the imperial core of the world #and it’s usually between users who have no fucking business making class jokes #because critically the experiences they’re mocking are so removed from any struggle for survival they’ve had — on both the USA and UK side

Aristocrats (1999), set from 1744 to 1798, it is based on the lives of the Lennox sisters, daughters of the Duke of Richmond (played by Julian Fellowes). Their paternal grandfather was an illegitimate son of King Charles II.

now when are we going to pull out the literary analysis big guns and talk about how important harry potter is to saltburn’s story and aesthetic???

#like #its the only book any of them are shown reading #the stag imagery #the star tattoos #oxford hogwarts #felix is james and oliver is severus and this is snotter fanfic #saltburn #hp #marauders #BUT ALSO LIKE #i saw someone else complaining that saltburn couldn’t be dark academia bc they were reading hp #but i think it’s perfectly dark academia #like hp there is an over reliance on aesthetics and sentimentality to mask glaring plot holes #and dark academia isn’t actually about Smarts and Ppl Studying it’s about critique elite institutions #a whole year at oxford and felix chooses to reread hp instead of preparing for the next year #(because honestly it doesn’t matter if he even shows up to tutes he’ll at least get a 2.i) #that’s very very on brand #i think there’s also to be said for how much hp is oft called Quintessentially British matching the #Quintessentially Aristocratic Britishness of the Cattons and the Quintessentially class/wealth obsessed Britishness of Oliver #and again again again how deeply flawed hp despite being held up as perfect by some #Fennell was an english student i can’t believe this was just a fluke
