Context:

First movie is Savage Grace. It's partly based on facts. Hugh Dancy plays Sam Green, a lover of Barbara Daly Baekeland, and in this scene both of them are having sex with her son (Antony), whom Barbara allegedly slept with because she couldn't reconcile with his sexual orientation. In the end Antony killed her. The real Sam Green claims there was no sexual contact between the three of them.

The second one is Hannibal's Naka choko. I know technically it was a fivesome, but Will imagined himself in Hannibal's bedroom with him and Alana, and at the same time he imagined a wendigo, who is his mental image of Hannibal, so...

Savage Grace - Wilde Unschuld ... *Einleitungssätze* Papa konnte Fremdsprachen, bestieg Berge. Er war ein Abenteurer. Mami war, was gesellschaftliche Dinge anging, hochbegabt. Sie war eine Meisterin der Untertreibung. Eine Abenteurerin. Er war kalt und dunkel. Und sie war warm und hell. Ich war der Dampf, der entsteht, wenn Heiß auf Kalt trifft. Antony Baekeland

Tony and Elio

[ladybalem]

Since Eddie Redmayne and Julianne Moore played a complicated mother and son relationship in the screen, they've been together in some special moments. Luckily, for both of them, real life is being more happy than fiction, and they're the most happy together than they were in the amazing Savage Grace, in which they acted together in 2007. Eddie told once that it was Julianne who helped him a lot to get the role, cause she exclaimed as soon as she saw him: "But he really looks like my son!" 😊 Here, my little homage to these two wonderful, talented, beautiful and ginger stars of the screen: Sag Awards; Desert Palm Awards; Bafta and The Oscar. 2015.

Eddie Redmayne as Tony Baekeland in Savage Grace.

"As a young actor, it’s incredibly rare to be cast in a part as meaty as that. When I read the script I was astounded by it and then I read the book, which was a wonderfully fleshed out version of the script. He was an extraordinary man so I had absolutely no reservations whatsoever. I was desperate to try and get that part."  (x)

Barbara Daly Baekeland

Barbara Daly Baekeland was wealthy American socialite who was born in 1922,Boston.

In 1933 Barbara was 11 years old and was living with her dad. Her father committed suicide by by carbon monoxide  poisoning from the exhaust of his car in the garage. At the time,they could have life insurance for such situation so they actually got life insurance. Then, Barbara and her mother decided to start over by going to New York City. They stayed at the Delmonico Hotel.

Barbara became a prominent socialite. She was one of New York's ten most beautiful girls and she gaining regular modeling contracts with Vogue  and Harper's Bazaar. Her social status and beauty helped her with invitation in high society parties. That allowed her to date various wealthy admirers.

Her secret was that she suffered mental illness/health problems like her mother and was a patient,a private(at the time it wasn't really acceptable let's say to have a mental illness)patient of Foster Kennedy.

After a while,she had an invitation to Hollywood for a screen test with the actor Dana Andrews but unfortunately did not lead into a film stardom. Although, it lead into a friendship with actress Cornelia "Dickie" Baekeland. Cornelia soon after introduced Barbata to her brother Brooks,a trainee pilot(Royal Canadian Air Force).

Barbara and Brooks became closer and closer. Barbara told him that she was pregnant,obviously a lie to make him stay and that's how they got married.

Brooks also happened to be the wealthy heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune(Leo Baekeland).Bakelite is a unique blend of plastic that was used to manufacture small appliances, household items and decorations. Bakelite was wildly successful in the jewelry making business. Bakelite bangles, necklaces, rings and earrings have a unique, iridescent and colorful design. So after marrying Brooks,Barbara became very rich. Neither her or Brooks needed to work for an income. Though,they told people that she was a painter and he was a writer.

To the society they appeared as the perfect couple. They had a really good social life,especially in NYC but their relationship was toxic and dark. Barbara with her mental illness had also a drug and alcohol addiction. He,Brooks on the other hand had many affairs and didn't treat her in the best way. Barbara had many outbursts and rude behavior at dinners or parties. Barbara had a way to make people feel uncomfortable,making sexually explicit or insulting comments, embarrassing Brooks. Soon she gained the a reputation as an unstable and unpleasant woman. Although sometimes this behavior was overlooked because of her looks,beauty and charm.

In 1946,Barbara got pregnant with their son Antony(sort Tony). After the birth the family traveled regularly,while having homes in UK and Europe. The relationship had many ups and downs and since it was already a huge rollercoaster,they both had affairs. Brooks met a younger women(age 15)and told Barbara that he wanted a divorce. Barbara freaked out and as a response he tried to commit suicide. Brooks then stopped seeing the younger woman and called off the divorce.

Growing old Tony wanted to stay somewhere alone,not with his parents. His parents stayed at Paris,France while he was staying at Spain. In 1967 Tony was 20 years old. That's when Tony realized that he was gay and became sexually involved with a guy named Cooper. Sooner or later his mother,Barbara found out about his sexuality secret(again at that time,homophobia was at its peak!) She disapproved of his relationship with a guy and wanted him to meet a girl to have a relationship with so she introduced him to a girl named Sylvie. Tony was not interested in Sylvie,but Brooks was. Brooks divorced Barbara and left her for Sylvie. Barbara was really depressed and had anger issues. She again tried to commit suicide and became more unstable than she ever was before.

Barbara's goal was to "fix"Tony so she refocused on her son's sexuality. She hired prostitutes to have sex with him something that never worked. So then her only option and logical to her was to manipulate Tony into having an incestuous sexual relationship with her.

Tony's mental health started going down. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and paranoia. He was angry all the time.

Now there are some people who believe that his parents refused any mental treatment and some people who believe that his anger issues were so serious that he held knifes during arguments. That his parents actually wanted him to see a therapist and he was in denial and refused but there was a time that ye eventually did went to a therapist.

The therapist warned Barbara about his behavior and unstable mental state. That actually,her behavior made him even worse and even dangerous. The therapist,straightforward said that if she didn't leave him alone he would kill her but Barbara ignored his warnings and continued her incestuous relationship with her son,this time she even required threesome with what I guess friends of Tony's.

In 1972,when Tony was 25 and Barbara was 50 the unavoidable happened. Tony killed Barbara during an argument. He stabbed her with a kitchen knife while they were living in London.

Again some people say that they don't know how the police came to the house and some others support that after him stabbing Barbara to death,he ordered Chinese food and calmly called the police. He confessed that he killed his mother and he was institutionalized in a mental health facility until 1980. When he was released, he moved in with his maternal grandmother, Nini.

The theory is by some that he tried to rape his grandmother while other say that he tried to explain what his mother had done to him which his grandmother didn't believe at all so he violently attacked her too with a kitchen knife. Viciously stabbing her for a total of 8 times and break several of her bones. Tony was arrested and was charged with attempted of murder. He was taken to Riker's Insland. In 1981,his case was still in litigation and the copy files of Tony's medical records hadn't yet arrived to the judge,Tony committed suicide in his cell by suffocating himself with a plastic bag.

The story inspired the book Savage Grace and the film by the same name.

[snappish]

On September 28, 1921 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Barbara Daly, later Barbara Baekeland was born to parents Nina and Frank Daly. At the age of 11 years old, her father committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning in their garage. Barbara and her mother started living in the Delmonico hotel in New York City after collecting the life insurance from her fathers death.

Barbara eventually became a socialite while living in New York, earning herself a title as one of New York’s 10 most beautiful girls. She had several modeling contracts with Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. She regularly attended parties due to her high social status, but she was also suffering with several mental heart problems, just as her mother. She was a secret patient of psychiatrist Foster Kennedy. While doing a screen test for a film in Hollywood, Barbara met the aspiring actress, Cornelia Baekeland, who was nicknamed “Dickie”. Barbara was then introduced to Cornelia’s younger brother, Brooks Baekeland, who was a trainee pilot with the Royal Canadian Air Force at the time.

Barbara and Brooks soon wed, but it wasn’t all for love. Barbara falsely told Brooks that she was pregnant, which resulted in a quick marriage. At the time of their marriage, Barbara listed her job as a painter, while Brooks said he was a writer. The couple had a home in the Upper East Side of New York. Barbara soon made a reputation for herself, with rude outbursts, depression, and her alcohol usage. Her and her husband both had affairs. Barbara was pregnant for real, and gave birth in August 1946 to Antony “Tony” Baekeland.

In 1954, Antony was 8 years old, living in several places with his parents. Residing mainly in Europe, they also had their New York home, as well as London, Paris, Zermatt, Cap d'Antibes, and a few places in Italy. Barbara and Brooks both continued to have affairs. In 1960, the family was mainly living in Paris and continuing to have extravagant parties. Brooks met a girl who was 15 years his junior, and requested a divorce. After Barbara tried to commit suicide, Brooks put an end to the affair.

I’m 1967, the family lived mainly in Switzerland and Cadaques, a Spanish resort. Antony, now 20, met an Australian, bisexual man by the name of Jake Cooper. Cooper introduced Antony to several hallucinogenic drugs, and they traveled to Morocco to obtain them. Soon, the two began a relationship. After Barbara’s friend, Barbara Curteis informed her of her son’s relationship, Barbara (Antony’s mother) traveled by car to bring her son back to Switzerland from Spain. Once they arrived at the French border, Antony did not have his passport, and after a fuss, Barbara and Antony was arrested.

After returning to Spain, Barbara pressured her son to be in a relationship with a young Spanish girl named Slyvie. Instead, Brooks started an affair with Slyvie. Barbara tried to commit suicide yet again after learning of her husbands affair in 1968, but Brooks insisted on a divorce. Barbara suffered from severe depression, attempting suicide again, and her friend Gloria Jones saved her life. Brooks married Slyvie and had a child, then divorced and married a woman named Susan.

In 1969 Barbara met Samuel Adams Green and started a relationship with him. Green broke off the relationship after six weeks, but Barbara was obsessed with him, even walking barefoot in the snow across Central Park in nothing but a Lynx fur coat and demanded to be let into his apartment.

Antony was either gay or bisexual, he never stated his exact sexual orientation, but he was attracted to men. To make him “normal” his mother hired prostitues, and even had sex with him herself. She is recalled as saying something along the lines of, “I bet I could fix him, if I could take him to bed.” In July 1972, Antony pushed his mother into traffic, being saved by Antony’s physical weakness and her friend Susan Guinness. Antony was arrested and originally charged with attempted murder, but Barbara refused to press charges. Antony was admitted to a psychiatric hospital and released soon after. Antony began psychiatrist sessions while living at home, and his psychiatrist was so worried he informed Barbara that Antony could kill her, to which Barbara ignored. On November 17, 1972, Antony, aged 25, stabbed his mother with a kitchen knife, killing her almost instantly at the age of 51. He confessed to the murder and was institutionalized at Broadmoor hospital, and was released after a group of his friends suggested so. At the age of 33, Antony was released and flew directly to his 87 year old maternal grandmothers and attacked her with a kitchen knife, stabbing her 8 times. He was arrested and sent to Rikers Island prison. After eight months of psychiatric evaluation, he was expected to be released yet again, on March 20, 1981. The judge suspended the trial, waiting on Antony’s medical records from the UK. At 3:30PM on March 20, 1981, Antony returned to his cell and was found dead 30 minutes later after suffocating himself with a plastic bag. The 2007 film Savage Grace is based on Barbara and Antony’s lives.

Ok, I surrender to this.

Man, Moob is my favourite. Of course Goths hate white socks. Now imagine his little Tamagotchi: It's probably a bat. Cause he's goth. Although of the Panama hat. Normalise Panama hats for the goth wardrobe.

It's ok to hate fancy yachts, cause in this house you won't not even see one. But Agreeable just look so sad and I don't know why. Maybe the Chalamet Hole ™️ is really a depression (I'm so proud of this little pun *chefs kiss*)

Everyone should hate furbies. If you don't, you're wrong. Furbies are evil. But what makes me like Orb the most is that he ships Toria and Narfi. And that's enough for me. I adopt him.

Everything I know is that I'm imagining an AU in another planet called Mantascus where Toria is some sort of empress or something like. But yeah, I can't get enough of Toria. No one should, btw. And Toria wouldn't complain about having a four door sedan since her car went to the thrash can.

Aesthetic is life. But Yilgo, wtf is this that you love, man? A f*cking chameleon? Send help.

Yeah. SEND HELP, Viscount.

I picture Sinister taking a coffee along with Toria. He also hates decaf. And no, no one can get enough of dbai baby generator in this house. BABIES! And thank you for loving dyed hair. I'll take it as a praise.

Man, here it comes another hiddlestoner. Yeah. Go polish the copper pots if it makes you happy, although we have any. Asbestos? Wtf, Artisan. Don't use asbestos, then. But no need to hate it.

Man, I never said I can't get enough of Antony Baekeland. It would sound creepy. I never said that. Go take a soup and calm down yourself, Chief. Just looking at you it's clear to see you're overexcited. Just calm down. You're not Yilgo, so calm down, man.

Finally... My Antony Baekeland mood board. My broken boy.

Barbara Baekeland part 2 Renting houses and villas in London, Paris, Zermatt, Cap d'Antibes, and many parts of Italy, Barbara and Brooks continued to live extravagantly, entertain guests, and have affairs. From 1960 onward, the family's main base was an apartment in Paris, where during one party, Brooks met an English diplomat's daughter who was 15 years his junior. After Brooks requested a divorce and Barbara subsequently tried to commit suicide, Brooks terminated the affair. In 1967, at which time the family was based in both Switzerland and the Spanish resort of Cadaques, the 20-year-old Antony met Jake Cooper, a bisexual Australian man. Cooper introduced Antony to various hallucinogenic drugs, which they traveled to Morocco to obtain. Antony and Cooper also began an affair. When Mrs. Baekeland was informed of this by her friend Barbara Curteis, she traveled by car to Spain to bring her son back to Switzerland. However, at the French border, Antony was found not to have his passport. After the ensuing fracas, both Antony and Barbara were arrested and placed in jail. Returning to Spain, Barbara accepted the extent of her son's relationship with Cooper, but preferred his developing relationship with a young Spanish girl, Sylvie. However, Sylvie then started an affair with Barbara's husband Brooks. After discovering the affair in February 1968, Barbara again tried to commit suicide. Brooks decided that he had had enough of Barbara's behavior and again, pursued a divorce. This led Barbara to severe depression and another suicide attempt, from which her friend Gloria Jones, wife of author James Jones, saved her. Brooks married Sylvie and had one child. He later divorced and married Susan Baekeland. In 1969, Barbara met noted pop art curator Samuel Adams Green, with whom she started an affair. When later introduced to her son Antony, Green was very unimpressed by his artistic capabilities. After six weeks, Green broke off the relationship, although Barbara was still obsessed with him. #destroytheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BtEUuKxhMaP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ubwo1n0ipbie
