me on a random evening: should I just edit that one picture so it looks like they’re cuddling?

[blackacre13]

Not a request but can we take a moment to appreciate how when Therese started falling for Carol she was like, "Okay this is what we are doing now." And didn't question anything. Even going to a stranger's house after one lunch date.

I mean, Therese Belivet is the definition of gay panic and I think we can all appreciate that entirely ✨

I started reading The Price of Salt two days ago and I find it hilarious that before I used to wonder whether the book will be explicit about the lesbianism as it's from the 1950s, and now I'm on page 126 and Therese has been FERAL for Carol (and back tbh) ever since she saw her. Like, listen to that and that's nothing: "If Carol had to go home now, Therese thought, she would do something violent Like jump off the Fifty-ninth Street Bridge. Or take the three benzedrine tablets Richard had given her last week."

Like, are you joking? aarrgghh

I love how the book and the movie are so different, and yet I feel like they are both perfect and the movie's casting was AMAZING. I enjoy the feral Therese though. You can see her crush on Carol better than in the movie, which is totally understandable due to the medium used.

Also, I have NEVER read a book with so much sexual tension.

CAROL (2015)

directed by Todd Haynes

[villqn3lle]

In Carol (2015) the way Therese reacts when Abby gives her the letter from Carol has really stuck with me

It’s how she immediately just gets up and leave, like if she doesn’t read that letter then the world will end. In fact her world will end because she was so confused why Carol left and it was all she could think about.

I feel the emotions of this scene so much because I understand how she is feeling. This film is the epitome of the lesbian relationship feeling and it represents all of the feelings felt in a lesbian relationship. This detail is a 10/10 moment from me because it shows just how much Therese loved Carol.

Carol (2015)

Can we have some top!carol & bottom!therese smut where Therese is playing a song for Carol on the piano and Carol comes up behind her and fucks her right on the piano bench?

“That’s beautiful,” Carol murmured, her hands settling on Therese’s shoulders as she closed her eyes listening to the soft piano melody flowing through the room.

“That’s familiar,” the brunette smiled, proud of herself that Carol’s hands on her shoulders now seemed comfortable and loving, no bolt of sudden shock rippling through her arms and neck like they once had. Now this was a combo occurrence as Therese liked to play for at least a half an hour every day. Carol often liked to watch, leaning against the wall, admiring the younger woman from afar or sitting on the bench beside her, watching the motion of Therese’s fingers. Sometimes, she merely listened. Curling up on the couch with a book or merely sitting in a state of almost-meditation as she let the notes waft through the air, her shoulders gently swaying.

“You’re beautiful,” the blonde whispered, her hands continuing to trail down There’s shoulders and towards her chest, fingers softly dipping behind the fabric of Therese’s sweater.

“I’m nothing compared to you,” Therese chuckled, shaking her head, the notes continuing but growing softer and lighter.

Carol’s hands slid out of her sweater and snaked down her arms, stopping on top of the brunette’s hands, holding them still against the keys, the final notes vibrating in the air, Therese’s body vibrating against her.

“Am I allowed to distract you, dearest?” Carol asked, her lips trailing down down the brunette’s neck, to her shoulder as Therese let out a soft sigh. “You’re being too hard on yourself with this piece. There’s no concerto to prepare for, love. Just your sweet music in the air and you know I already think you are perfection.”

“Carol,” Therese chuckled lightly. “I’ve still got ten more minutes.”

“Who’s keeping tabs?” 

“Me,” Therese grinned.

“Let me finger you now and you can finger those keys all you want while I make dinner.”

“Carol!” Therese, hissed, her hands fumbling as the keys made an awkward, rippled sound as they fell messily across the keys.

“You don’t even have to move,” Carol murmured, one hand slipping from Therese’s own and falling to the brunette’s thigh before sliding up and under her skirt, ghosting towards the cotton of her underwear. She started to rub slow circles against the fabric of the panties, Therese closing her eyes as her head fell back against Carol’s chest. “Doesn’t this feel nice, darling? Don’t you want more of this?”

“I—Carol I—“

“Mm?”

“I’m out of excuses,” Therese squeaked, letting her own hands fall, trying to reach behind her to touch any part of Carol she could grab without seeing her. Hips. Thighs. Belly.

“So wet for me already,” Carol purred, Therese starting to teeter on the piano bench trying to seek more friction, the fabric still in the way of what she really wanted from Carol. “Tell me, dearest. What would you have me do?”

“I—I want you.”

“You have me.”

“I want you,” Therese swallowed. “Inside me.”

“Like this?” Carol hissed, her fingers disappearing behind the fabric of Therese’s underwear completely, dragging along her slit as Therese whined, up and down and up and down, Therese starting to get visibly agitated as she let out a grumble only for Carol to plunge her fingers deep, Therese letting out a moan as Carol pushed inside, starting to pump in and out.

“Oh god, Carol,” Therese exhaled, her hands balling into fists against the bench. “Please, baby. Please. Let me.”

“You’ll be good for me if I let you?” Carol smirked against Therese’s cheek. “You’ll do whatever I ask?”

“Anything, Carol,” Therese gasped. “Please—please let me—Fuck!” Therese gasped, falling over the edge suddenly, Carol’s fingers still inside her as she pulsed around her, her chest falling forward towards the keys.

“You’re so good for me, dearest,” Carol purred. “So beautiful. And as much as I love how you play—this is what’s music to my ears. Those pretty sounds you make for me.”

Fuck unhappy endings in romance. If I wanted to read a sad romance I'd watch true crime. I love angst, but only if there's some form of a happy ending. Not that tragic endings aren't great. But there's just some characters that deserve happy endings. Some characters that have been through too much. That you love and connect too much with for it to just end like that. So no I will not be having an unhappy ending thank you. They lived, their in love and they grow old together. Period.
