Congrats on meeting Charlie Cox!
Regarding Farleigh being so easily dismissed as a liar and thief and ejected from Saltburn I think there is a small part of it about his jerkass hedonist persona+perception the Cattons have of him as a troublemaker (Felix readily accepts he would lie solely out of pettiness/jealousy).
Some of it is arrogance, loving to think they're perceptive and their judgment superior rather than people constantly giving in to them.
(It's not that Oliver is especially good at playing games, they're done in precisely because of how much they underestimate him til it's too late. They also greatly underestimate Farleigh's forethought (As Felix himself says, why go about things in such a traceable way?))
Some of it is the same as with every other of their "charity cases". Farleigh is their longest-lasting outsider but he's been overstaying his welcome or at the very least taken it for granted (in their opinion).
So why look for an alternative explanation when this gives them an excuse to:
1.Boot him with a "clean" conscience 2.Remind him who holds the reins, what his place is, and what happens if he forgets 3.Feel good they're being so generous and gracious by accepting him back.
so SO accurate, thank you so much!
i fully agree. as seen in the oliver and elspeth lawn scene, elspeth would rather see the worst in her friend because if she acknowledged someone's innocence, then she would also have to acknowledge her guilt. the same goes for sir james, paying for farleigh's education and spreading the rhetoric that frederica and mr. start are horrible people. they want to believe they're saving/helping people that don't deserve to be saved; in actuality, they're being generous completely within reason. they have enough money to host multiple guests. hell, they have enough money to throw oliver a 200-attendee party. with farleigh's family specifically, i find it so comedic when felix says "maybe we've done what you can." like no. you haven't.
it seems to be a healthy blend of greed, superiority, and discomfort with what they don't really understand. they are allergic to genuineness. if they were to actually help people rather than temporarily toying with them, they would have to acknowledge what human connection actually is. within that, they would have to acknowledge the lack of human connection they experience in real life. it's all very interesting to me.
and of course, people just like being better than other people. felix, for one. elspeth, for another. i could actually talk about how similar felix and elspeth are, but i'm not gunna get into that right now HEHE.
thanks for the ask!! gave me something delicious to gnaw on.

making fun of americans is pretty much always ok if youre not doing it in an edgelord “you guys have so many school shootings” way or acting like we’re the only country that has racism. but like posts about americans and hamburger get me every time

dating simulator where it starts normal but it slowly becomes clear that all of the romanceable characters are attempting to cover up an extremely specific murder they committed a year ago before you arrived

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.
All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.

Like I literally have second hand embarrassment for Vox after seeing what Alastor ACTUALLY is like in a rivalry.
Like homie wishes he could be that close to Alastor 😂😂

The pattern is Neat Ripple. I used Knit Picks Mighty Stitch in lots of various colors. If you'd like specific color names, let me know. I'm fairly certain the lighter orange is discontinued, named "Conch".
