#that movie made me sad

[theworstcreature]

I love when a fictional character is just like a cat that was left out in a thunderstorm

Like the big sad eyes, looking positively bedraggled, maybe a little bit scared, and just having an awful fucking time right now please give them a hug and a warm cozy place to rest

Canon motel room one-bed storyline I dreamed of you for years. (And also read about you in multiple fics)

[sforzesco]

something. about. the horror of being sent on an impossible (death) quest and obligations and hospitality politics. the trauma of not having a home, and then the trauma of being in a house that becomes actively hostile to you, one that would swallow you whole and spit out your bones if you step out of line. all of this is conditional, your existence continues to be something men want gone.

it's about going back as far as I can with the perseus narrative because there's always a version of a myth that exists behind the one that survives. the missing pieces are clearly defined, but the oldest recorded version of it isn't there! and there's probably something older before that!! but it's doomed to forever be an unfilled space, clearly defined by an outline of something that was there and continues to be there in it's absence.

and love. it's also about love. even when you had nothing, you had love.

on the opposite side of the spectrum, this is Not About Ovid Or Roman-Renaissance Reception, Depictions And Discourses On The Perseus Narrative.

edit: to add to the above, while it's not about Ovid, because I'm specifically trying to peel things back to the oldest version of this story, Ovid is fine. alterations on the Perseus myth that give more attention Medusa predate Ovid by several centuries. this comic is also not about those, either! there are many versions of this story from the ancient world. there is not one singular True or Better version, they're all saying something.

this line fucking hit. but it's true.

queer people for years, centuries, have been oppressed for being their most authentic selves, by the people who call themselves heroes and us the monsters, even nowadays with the most recent law for allowing discrimination against queer people in America. They call themselves the good guys, the saviours, the ones completely in the right and justified for hating against people just trying to live their lives. And apparently we're supposed to be the bad guys in this story.

i'm so glad that this movie came out when it did, the world really needs it.

Heres how I feel the characters/friends would react to Jesse's puppy eyes

From scale to most likely to work on to not likely I think it would be Lukas, Olivia, Axel, Petra, Ivor

I remember in the game he was mentioned to have big eyes- I think its funny to imagine him using them against his friends lol

i feel like having a heart attack every time i rewatch the saltburn ending. i get why people don’t like it but fuck. the last twenty minutes is like heroin to me, i’ve never felt this way about any piece of media before. it just feels so gut wrenching and i genuinely feel like *I’VE* lost something i’ll never get back. HOW?? WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT???
