OK, everyone. I'm a little playlist-manic and impulsively make ones for characters/actors/films that I love. Here are my Spader-oriented ones. I hope you enjoy it if you are interested in any of those.

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 228/?

Rainbow - Since You Been Gone (1979)

"So in the night I stand,

Beneath the backstreet light,

I read the words that you sent to me.

I could take the afternoon

But nighttime comes around too soon -

You can't know what you mean to me.

Your poison letter,

Your telegram,

Just goes to show you don't give a damn!"

[apoptoses]

Different anon but I recently watched crash because of your james spader posting and I loved it!! I also am exclusively picturing daniel as him now, he’s the perfect face claim. Also would love to hear your film recs!

yessss, it's such an insane movie, it's SO good! and it's not vampire-relevant at all but somehow a man who chases vampires and dates one and a man who chases the sexual thrill of car accidents are just two sides of the same coin imo

(and he is perfect, right?? welcome to the club 🥹)

so my offical spader recs are:

Sex Lies and Videotape

Spader plays Graham, a gentle weirdo who is impotent and has a kink for interviewing women about their sex lives and then watching the videos of said interviews back when he's alone.

watch it for: the interviewing the impotency combo have huge vampire!daniel vibes. he's so non-threatening, so politely weird, so eager to lie back and let a pretty auburn haired person touch his face. 100% molloy vibes.

Crash

you've already seen this, anon, but for anyone who hasn't: Spader is James Ballard, a guy who gets into a car accident and discovers a whole underground culture of weirdos who are horny for car crashes, and keep escalating their dangerous sex acts to find new thrills

watch it for: listen this movie is so outrageously horny and all about putting other people's lives at risk to get your own thrill, and if that isn't vampire adjacent i don't know what is. also the wife of spader's character is so emotionally flat and full of clinical vocabulary. the scene with her and spader in bed, talking about him sleeping with a man- it's armand and daniel, just trust me.

Secretary

a CLASSIC. he's the original Mr. Grey, deeply repressed dom who hires maggie gyllenhal as his secretary and ends up in a bdsm relationship with her. it's a very sweet movie with lots of kink, it's a lot of fun.

watch it for: the theme of letting your guard down and being fully understood. he's not at his most molloy here, but it's just a great film and gives you lots to think about in terms of what constitutes a relationship and letting another person in.

Dream Lover

Spader has a one night stand turned marriage with Madchen Amick, with all sorts of psychological twists and guessing games about who is the insane one and who is lying about their entire life.

watch it for: he's gorgeous, the sex scenes are 🥵 and if you squint you can blur Madchen Amick into looking like Armand lol he goes from gentle lover to mentally unhinged to murderer and looks beautiful the whole time, what else do you want?

Jack's Back

i don't even know how to explain this movie except to say that it's an 80's serial killer flick that's so bad it's good. Spader plays twins so you get to see him as the good boy and the bad boy here.

watch it for: the twin he plays in the first 1/4 of the movie is very molloy, so sweet and flirty and dedicated to his job. he does a lot of great eye rolling and arguing and then gets into the most weirdly kinky bad spot before his brother shows up. lots of nice shots of spader bloody, sweaty, smoking, exhausted, or some combination of all four. pure 80s trash but molloy adjacent in that he's a beautiful eyeful getting into trouble.

Bad Influence

More schlock in which Spader strikes up a friendship with bad boy Rob Lowe and gets his life ruined/is convinced to do some awful shit before embarking on a quest for revenge.

watch it for: Spader looking gorgeous in glasses, starting out innocent and then doing lots of unhinged things. it's more 'so bad it's good' stuff and seeing him be gentle but also get violent gives me so many thoughts about vampire daniel.

Stargate

A sci-fi flick in which he plays a physics nerd who is able to open a portal to another planet. Basically ancient aliens meets terminator.

watch it for: his character is literally named daniel and he's so sweetly passionate about his science stuff/ancient languages, very 'daniel molloy: pupil of marius' tbh

Other fun movies, but which are scraping the bottom of the barrel in terms of quality or how often he appears:

•Tuff Turf (he is SO pretty in this one) •Cocaine: One Man's Seduction (watch a compilation of his scenes via youtube for some 80's daniel/angry daniel fodder) •Pretty in Pink (he's a wealthy 80s bad boy who's only in part of the film, the visuals are nice for picturing Night Island Daniel) •The New Kids (an awful movie in which hs plays an awful person but he gets covered in blood and has the kinkiest scene where he gets tied up, when you see it you'll know) •A Killer in the Family (more god awful stuff, but he's so so pretty and so permanently annoyed I couldn't look away) •Storyville (so, so dry but the jiujitsu scene and the kiss scene with the lawyer lady are worth seeing) •Curtain Call (really, really hard to hunt down but it's a cute romcom where he lives in a haunted house and is permanently annoyed, also him dancing with his love interest is so sweet and lovely i'm still picturing armand and daniel dancing like that)

I think this breaks down 80% of his filmography lol But really, watch sex lies and videotape, crash, and secretary for sure!! The rest are just excellent oggling material/potential smut inspo ♥

Yes I absolutely am going to be posting about the Met Gala tonight, even if it is all florals (groundbreaking).

If you'd like to read "The Garden of Time," which is the theme for the evening, I have a PDF here:

Hopefully someone (not Jared Leto, please not Jared Leto) will get creative with it.

The exhibition showcases nearly 250 fashion pieces from the Institute's archives. Garments by Schiaparelli, Givenchy, Christian Dior from fall/winter 1949, a 17th-century ballgown by Charles Frederick are among the more than 400 years of fashion that will be on display through video animation, light projection, AI, and CGI so that museum visitors can experience it in a new and imaginative way.  According to a CNN Style article, these items are so rare and antique that since being shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they have truly evolved into works of art on their own. Thus, the term "sleeping beauties" describes these gowns, which are now too delicate and priceless to be worn.

According to Andrew Bolton and Wendy Yu Curator in charge of the costume institute: “The exhibition will be shaped around. Three main zones land sea and sky paying tribute to the natural world, the fashion pieces will be all inspired by nature, melancholic flowers botanicals and plants”

James Graham Ballard most well-known story, “Garden of time”, released in 1962, served as the model for the theme Anna Wintour chose for the 2024 Met Gala,

In his book Ballard tells the story of a beautiful garden known as the Garden of Time stretches out in front of the old count Axel and his wife's property. The vandals march relentlessly until they reach the final bloom, yet each clipped blossom has the effect of forcing the approaching barbarian army to recede a little. The land is broken into and destroyed. But the heroes are still there among the rubble; they have become statues, one of them clutching a rose.

The story is a metaphoric representation of time and human evolution proving that no power can stop the time neither money nor beauty, moreover this could be addressing the conflict between social classes, those who have authority over others and lastly could be also interpreted as a societal denunciation of social issues such as environmental degradation

The garden of time definitely aligns with the exhibition as it symbolizes reincarnation, beauty preserving and time.

sable Dio and puppy Bonnet

i love imagining them being animals

"Dio" has the same pronunciation with"mink/sable" in my language and he's a small and fierce animal.

i first thought bonnet was a dog(i draw this long ago when i still hate him) and now i get to know him so he becomes a rabbit in my mind, he performs like a rabbit🐰(i don't know how to explain this) and "Bonnet" sounds like"bonnie the rabbit"in my language

Btw i call russ with a nick name(a comment nick name form in my language, can be translated as "russie" i guess) and that pronounces like"fawn/deerlet" here🦌

LITERATURE FOR ENGLISH

3. "The Drought", novel by James Graham Ballard (England)

The novel “The Drought” by James Graham Ballard (England) is a work of science fiction that explores the consequences of a global water crisis. The novel takes place in the near future where ocean pollution has caused an impenetrable layer on the surface of the water. This layer prevents water evaporation, leading to global drought.

Its importance in relation to water conservation is based on the fact that the novel highlights the importance of water for human life. Without water, agriculture, livestock and industry collapse. The novel also shows how water scarcity can cause social and political conflicts. In addition, it warns about the dangers of environmental pollution. Ocean pollution is the trigger for the global drought in the novel.

The novel addresses the issue of water conservation in the next ways: First, water scarcity is the triggering event of the plot. Pollution of the seas, caused by industrial waste, causes a strange layer on the surface that prevents water evaporation. This leads to a global drought that has a devastating impact on society.

Secondly, water is a symbol of life and hope in the novel. In a world where water is scarce, water becomes a precious and coveted commodity. "Water was the only resource left, and the fight for it was a fight for survival." This passage suggests that the search for water is a metaphor for the search for life and hope.

The main message of the novel “The Drought” by James Graham Ballard is a warning call about the importance of taking care of water. The novel describes a world in which water scarcity has caused social and economic collapse. People are forced to abandon their homes and jobs in search of water. Violence and chaos take over the world.

Therefore, Ballard decides to use this dystopia to show us how fragile our society is and that water is an essential resource for life, and its scarcity can have catastrophic consequences.

The novel also shows us that water scarcity can cause changes in our behavior. In a world without water, people become more aggressive and competitive. This leads us to reflect on the importance of cooperation and solidarity.

The novel offers several tips on water conservation. Some of these tips are:

• Reduce water consumption at home. Turning off the tap while soaping or brushing our teeth, repairing water leaks, not washing the car with the hose, etc.

• Recycle and reuse water. Reuse water from the washing machine to water plants, collect rainwater to water the garden, etc.

• Avoid using products that require a lot of water. For example, cars with large engines, washing machines with long wash programs, etc.

In short, the novel "The Drought" is an important work that reminds us of the importance of water as it shows us the consequences of water scarcity and invites us to take measures to avoid it. Water is a vital resource for life. We must take care of it and protect it.

We can all contribute to water conservation with small gestures in our daily lives.
