#well if you aren’t casting yourself as john wayne then who? the hooker with a heart of gold?

last line of wip!

Rules: Write the latest line from your wip (or post where you last left off in your art) and tag as many people as there are words in the line.

i was tagged by @mayberrycryptid! thank you!! 💖 this forced me to open the document and figure out what the last line i wrote even was, which was a pretty useful exercise in figuring out what’s going on all by itself.

i’m going to skip officially tagging people because i’ve already thrown so many tag games at so many of you this week, but !! this is an easy one! genuinely, if you see this (and you’re a writer, and you want to) do it and tag me, please (or even drop an answer in the replies)! i want to see your last line! 🕵️‍♂️📃

mine is from the starsky-watches-westerns wip, from a discussion starsky and hutch are having about stagecoach, the 1939 john ford film:

“Of course not,” Hutch says, only to immediately follow it up with, “Her name is Dallas.”

#this is in response to starsky somewhat jokingly somewhat curiously going #well if you aren’t casting yourself as john wayne then who? the hooker with a heart of gold? #because oh. ohhhh. the whole ringo kid & dallas narrative? queer cinema. #yes they're straight (presumably. they don't have to be.) yes i'm going to get a lot of mileage out of this for my gay cowboy movies fic #society DOESN'T WANT HER. she gets RUN OUT OF TOWN. #but HE wants her. HE pulls out a chair for her!! all he sees is a lady who is good and kind to him even though he broke out of prison #it's about being on the margins of society but. being there together. being told you're unwanted and building a life that proves them wrong #(this is why this fic is going to take forever to write. it's secretly an essay on twelve movies at once but in fic form) #* #tag stuff #starsky and hutch
