#no but rly thank u for letting me know!!

[lorephobic]

*kisses your brain* I am BEYOND interested in seeing the interview clips that inspired/back up your thoughts and analysis

aw yay!!! im so glad this is interesting to more than just me LOL

if any particular essays/ideas pique ur interest, i can give u a deeper dive into any of them with more clips & links, but for now under the cut i'll do a couple of short recs for each:

A Wolf in Deer's Clothing

oliver's deceit (and portrayal as a prey animal) was much more obvious in the movie, but getting to the crux of felix's role as a false-angel was heavily inspired by:

this interview where jacob dives into felix's need to be needed and seen as a savior, and

this scene breakdown with emerald, where she points out felix's desire for power masquerading as kindness

A Midsummer Night's Mare

this essay in particular is in response to the general fandom impression that oliver being drawn toward farleigh is anything but a horrific extension of his existing obsession toward felix and this was most heavily influenced by my own eyes and my ability to identify sexual assault when i see it (LOL) as well as:

this collider interview with archie madekwe where he talks about the development of farleigh's relationship with oliver, and even more importantly to my point, the catharsis farleigh gets from coming back and saying his piece at the midsummer night's party

The Eye of the Beholder

i've got a million interviews i could give you where emerald talks about the voyeurism in saltburn, but i think these details come out most when she's doing scene breakdowns and particularly in:

this moment of a vanity fair interview where she picks apart the details of the house that saltburn was filmed in, and the nature of the people that live inside of it and this bit from the same interview where she talks about the exhibitionist nature of the bathroom setup

this esquire interview where emerald lets us in on the workings of the house and how nothing can be private

sidenote: these two scene breakdown interviews are two of my favorites that i've seen come out of this movie, so i definitely recommend them in their entirety if you're at all interested!

Gender-Fluid

this might be my favorite topic on this list and the one that i think is most important and i'm SO GLAD that emerald has had some really great interviews where she gets to talk about these things. my favorite being:

this reign interview with josh smith that i really can't recommend enough, where emerald brings up the way women's bodies are used and objectified in film and addresses and challenges the "shock" that people claim to feel after seeing saltburn

THOSE!!! are my starter recommendations!!! but like i said at the beginning of this post, if you have anything in particular that you really want to dive deeper into, just lmk!! <333

#saltburn posting #saltburn 101 #< new tag for essay stuff #this was rly fun lol thank u for letting me go crazy on ur ask #like i said w the og post too #its rly good to just get my thoughts down and start making lists and bullet points #and getting something slightly more physical than all of the disorganized thoughts bumping around in my brain #also while compiling this list i spent. probably an hour watching interviews i'd already seen #and another 30 minutes watching new interviews i didn't even know existed #so thank you for that lol #asks

the voice acting on this line is soooooo

#this whole convo makes me a little crazy the way he’s like #resistant to the help a little bit at first but clearly so desperate for it #idr how it goes exactly with someone who can’t speak infernal but with xar it’s so like #idk #“’this isn’t your problem you know’ followed IMMEDIATELY by ‘wait don’t go’ when they jokingly start to turn away #he has no choice but to let someone else in and let someone help him #no choice but to trust them at least a little. at least for this #and then the way he delivers the thank u line at the end… #it does feel like one of the first rly vulnerable moments he has #tho granted that’s partially bc the mirror scene comes later in xar’s timeline specifically lol #漫言 #z plays bg3

girl its been known succession wouldnt go past season 4 for a few years now its on the wiki page

i don't know what wiki you have been reading but this is what i'm getting from succession's wikipedia page

"In June 2021, executive producer Georgia Pritchett commented that the series would not go beyond five seasons, and possibly would end after season four. On October 26, 2021, HBO renewed the series for a fourth season, set to premiere on March 26, 2023. In an interview with The New Yorker in February 2023, Armstrong confirmed that the series would conclude with the fourth season. He stated that while the season was not initially pitched as the series' last, "the decision to end solidified through the writing and even when we started filming: I said to the cast, 'I’m not a hundred percent sure, but I think this is it.'""

if succession ending after four seasons was really common knowledge like you said, people really wouldn't have been so surprised over the decision – including the cast of the show itself. yes, it was always a possibility that the show would end after season four but it certainly wasn't common knowledge or set in stone. and also, i have been heavily involved in the fandom space since 2021 and i certainly have not seen anyone be 100% that s4 is the last one before. if you have credible sources, feel free to share them with me, but rn i'm calling bullshit.

#also yes i know it is hard to decipher tone through messages but i rly didn't appreciate yours in this message. #also maybe let's not use gendered terms with people you don't know thank u and bye #answered #also this worked me up enough that i'm sacrificing sleep for it. hpph

there is a terrible awkwardness to this reconnecting w old friend who we will get to see when we go on this trip and trying to organize plans w them because i am... not sure if they remember or KnowTM that my mother is abusive fhdgjkl

it is just so uncomfortable being like "wow that is a great idea but i just have to run every part of this past my mother first to make sure its okay (even though im an adult and you are too but she is the puppetmaster around here and i am trying to keep myself as safe as possible especially while on the trip and in such close quarters with her :))))) and also i would hate for you to have to be put in an uncomfortable position if she showed her abusive tendencies around you even tho ur outside the family which is rare but when it happens it is really fucked up and uncomfortable for everyone involved except her) !"

#i am just so tired of hiding the abuse fhdsjkl i am so fucking tired of it #i dont know how to tell people though #like. thats not rly something u can just drop out of nowhere. oh hey my mother is my abuser btw #so please behave when you are around her and dont say anything sus or let anything loose that would endanger me okay thanks bye! #ofc im not going to like. ask ppl to ''''''behave''''' or whatever. i just. dont tell them anything i dont want getting back to my mother #which... puts a strain on friendships. bc im constantly censoring and monitoring myself. #also if i dont think they will '''''''behave'''''''' then i just. dont get to spend time w them in case my mother shows up fdsjkl #i am SO fucking tired of all of this fdsjkl idk what to do about it though #i am so trapped and so stuck and so tired and frustrated and its all so fucking unfair and stupid and shitty and exhausting #yadda yadda sorry fsdjkl i am just. argh. fdsjkl i will stop now though #pippen needs 2nd breakfast #abuse tw

[everythingsinred]

thinking abt when i was suicidal and how it was already hard enough to seek help (i remember being mad at zoe for telling me mom abt my feelings, thats how hard it was for me) but how much it wouldve destroyed me if the ppl i care abt most told me that helping me take care of my mental health was too much “emotional labor” and how im “trauma dumping.”

and honestly yall almost had me believing that bullshit too, that my comfort should come first even if someone really needs me but thats not true. sorry if u dont wanna hear this but ur a fairweather friend if u only wanna be there when its easy and comfortable. yes theres a name for u and its not “self care” or “emotionally healthy”. its FAIRWEATHER FRIEND. a selfish person who only wants to be around ppl if it benefits them.

the second someone needs help, the second being around someone isnt all sunshine and butterflies, and the second u make someone elses suffering abt YOUR comfort, then uve become part of the problem and this growing social media frenzy abt “self care” and “putting ur own mental health first” is just code for selfishness and abandoning ppl who need support while putting the blame on them for daring to ask for it. cant tell u how many times ive been told “cant u just pretend to smile at least? ur so negative” or “uve become cold and not happy like u used to be :/“ making MY mental health a problem for them, that im inconveniencing other ppl and IM at fault for not pretending everything is fine. “idk how to comfort ppl” immediately puts the other person is a place of shame and guilt for making u uncomfortable. “cant we talk abt something else?” when ur friend is trying to tell u smth important (and unpleasant) is selfish and putting ur own comfort in front of someone elses mental health.

u dont need to drop everything for everyone all the time. thats not what im saying. but the reluctance to EVER do this and the resentment u feel when someone in a bad place is relying on u bc they feel ur all they have? thats selfish.

#im saying this bc i regurgitated the same selfish lines when someone rly needed me #and u know what? we couldve helped each other then #we helped each other later sure. but my hwaling couldve started earlier if i hadnt been so selfish #we need each other #yall will complain abt individualism and capitalist culture #until a friend or loved one really needs u and its ‘too much work’ #then ur all ‘self care’. fuck u #its a selfish mindset and puts u in the center of every conflict #NEWSFLASH! its not all abt u all the time! #let someone else have the spotlight for once and stop thinking abt ur own comfort all the time #bc u could be leading ppl who rly need help into isolating themselves #and ppl who feel they cant trust u wont turn to u and they might get worse #loneliness makes ppl feel worthless and when u make their mental health abt YOUR inconvenience all u do is strengthen that feeling #yes i do have strong feelings abt this #bc ppl have been shit friends to me abt this when all i needed was someone to be on my side #thank god for zoe and my mom who stood by me but everyone needs that #be the solution. dont just make the problem worse #aometimes relationships are hard. but if u battle the problem together its easier #little anya things #suicide mention

depop's recommended for you page is SO funny. it always gets my sizes wrong (despite the fact I have my sizes saved? like huh??) and im not sure WHERE it pulls data on what I might like from, but its not my likes, thats for sure, bc the styles recommended are SO wildly different from what I actually. have hit the like button on.

I just got a shirt recommended that just says 'i <3 female orgasm' tho. thats the first thing on there that made me stop, gasp, and laugh out loud imagining wearing that in my very conservative town...

#JKHDFKJDHJFKNJ THANKS??? #its a wonder ive found ANYTHING I like tbh . their algorithm is wild #but i use depop and amazon wishlists as like. insp #moreso than actually wanting to buy the stuff #i mean id like to BUY them but they are usually OVERPRICED. like i guess i can understand if its brand new but girl thas from a thriftstore #i go to thrift stores enough 2 kno whats a deal and whats a rip off #still...I do like how custom/unique a lot of the stuff is. its like. lets save this and then #try and find similar when im actually. out thrifting. instead of paying 35$ for a Shirt. u know #and i sold on depop i KNOW about the fees+shipping. still! still too much overpriced stuff #if i was working itd be different #i did spend a LOT On clothes when i worked at walmart lol #but i LIKE clothes and fashion and it makes me happy #and i could support small etsy businesses! i got some rly cute #custom strawberry shortcake sneakers that i still wear from etsy #they still are sturdy and comfy 2 1/2 yrs later! so thats epic #also homemade etsy candles have a 50/50 chance of being the best smell ever #or straught up exploding #SO its FUN and epic to support them #omg i wanna ask my sister if we can go to the witchcraft store in town actually theyhave great candles too #I am in a very Wanty mood KJDSAHFK #the LONGING and YEARNING hours have dawned. gemini in retrograde or something #sanchoyorambles
