I'll never get over the fact that not only did David Lean make up one of the best characters in LoA himself, Sherif Ali, but he ALSO intentionally gave him homoerotic subtext with Lawrence. Truly the rpf writer of our times 🤧

#i think i actually learned ali was a made-up character AFTER i read that the subtext was intentional #i was like waow he wrote historical rpf yaoi thats pretty cool #(i also love how in the interview hes like uh DUH of course the subtext was on purpose)#but then i learned ali wasnt a real person(incredibly depressing)#but honestly that makes it even funnier that he wasnt real #he basically gave lawrence a boyfriend #fix-it fic.....main character/oc djfjkfkg #its one thing to combine a bunch of characters in able to have one clear companion character #but to intentionally make him be gay with the main character???? cinema.#lawrence of arabia #te lawrence #t.e. lawrence
