When the trope is I got shot while contemplating killing you and now you're nursing me back to health and I still want to kill you ™

This scene when Silva gave the long overdue answer to Jake about what two men could do living together in a ranch, I teared up for real, this reminds me a lot of Brokeback Mountain scene, this was what Jack in Brokeback mountain ever wanted with Ennis.

But Ennis have trauma, when he was young his father showed him a dead body of a man who was murdered because he was gay and he was living in ranch with his lover, I think Ennis never want that kind of end for him and Jack and that's why he kept running away and didn't want to settle down with Jack somewhere else because he's ashamed and afraid of prejudice and yet because of his cowardice decision, Jack end up dead anyway, because of the same hate crime while he's not there to protect him.

The reason why this movie felt like a double punch because I can't help but thinking about Ennis and Jack when I saw how Silva and Jake story played out, not to mention the plot? Fall in love when they're young but then got separated and got married and have their own lives And even the name resemblance with Jake, I feel like it's indeed a callback to Brokeback Mountain movie itself considering the director of Strange way of life almost directed Brokeback mountain himself back in the day before the project came to Ang Lee. So it's like they tryna give a chance to Jake and Ennis in this version, where the ending is hopeful, because Silva had the chance to nurture back Jake to health and probably this time they could see what kind of life they could have together and hopefully try it.

[itsamatterofhonor]

can u pls write a scene about Jake saving Silva's life (jake getting shot/hurt protecting Silva because he was in troubles with a another gang) and Silva taking Jake to a safe place. (oh and they had a previous fight because silva wanted to live with Jake but he was worried about what people would say)

I had a dream about thiiis😭

Thank you for this prompt, anon, and I hope you like it but also thanks for coming back and giving me more details about your dream so I could do it justice. Without further ado, here's the story:

Fever Dream (4184 words) by devil_woman_24 Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Strange Way Of Life (Short Film 2023) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sheriff Jake/Silva (Strange Way Of Life) Characters: Sheriff Jake (Strange Way Of Life), Silva (Strange Way Of Life), Unnamed Gang Summary:

Joe was killed by a newly arrived gang in town and Silva is in town to try and convince Jake to live together at last. Jake believes Silva only came for revenge. What is the truth?

[something-tofightfor]

(This is not specific to ur answer, and I also haven’t watched the movie) is there an argument Silva is bisexual? I feel like him being bi wouldn’t (shouldn’t) effect the perception that jake is the only one for him in his eyes. This isn’t based in some like desperation for Silva fics either, just something I have been thinking about in context of like people not wanting to do fic for him based on him being gay and pairing him with fem!readers would be inappropriate

Pairing him with a female reader or OC would end with the two of them going their separate ways - because like I said, Silva’s end goal seems to have always been to get back to Jake in some capacity. (Thats not a spoiler, if you’ve seen the trailers or read the synopsis, you get that gist.)

The rest of this is going under a cut just to give people a chance to not read it if they choose.

There’s no question that he slept with a woman at some point in his life - but we have no way of knowing if it’s because he’s actually bisexual or if he did it to try and get over Jake or if he was just trying to prove to “society” that he was interested in women. There’s no explanation or backstory on that woman - or anything else he really did between then and “now”(I believe the movie takes place in the “present” in 1910, which would mean that Silva’s son was conceived in the late 1880’s/early 1890’s - and not long after the initial Jake/Silva pairing happened).

And it’s also clear that everyone is aware that Joe is Silva’s son, even all those miles away where Jake is the Sheriff - and that it’s a source of contention, at least on one end.

Listen, people can write and read whatever they choose to, but I’m not about to project my own thoughts and feelings toward those of a character that is/was written the way Silva was just to give him a female love interest for the sake of a story. I’m also not in the habit of writing stories where you go into them knowing the ending isn’t going to be a desirable one, and that’s what writing a female character with Silva would be (if it was a romantic pairing, anyway).

And this isn’t relevant to SWOL because as we know it, Silva had sex with a woman at some point, but changing a character’s canon sexuality to suit a writer’s needs for a fic is, absolutely inappropriate in my mind.

This is so damn beautiful it makes me want to scream. When I first saw this I thought it was a still from the film. AND THEN I REALIZED. And my mind was blown.

This is truly incredible. What you did with the light and the shadows here is pure magic and it’s just so warm and hopeful and I’m in love. 😍
