its like looking into a mirror :D

literally nobody asked for it, but here's my list of saltburn essays that i've slowly been drafting over the course of the last week which WILL be required reading for anybody trying to engage with me about this movie. my very personal saltburn 101 syllabus just dropped

A Wolf in Deer's Clothing: Saltburn's Attempt at Innocence

an examination of party costumes and our character's last attempts to masquerade as something they're not: felix—an angel, all-forgiving and all-knowing, something to be worshiped; and oliver—a prey animal, prey to class-divide, prey to saltburn, prey to felix.

thoughts about oliver specifically are loosely organized in my #bambi tag

A Midsummer Night's Mare: Farleigh Start as the Ultimate Victim of Saltburn

a farleigh character study, about the ways he was mistreated and manipulated at saltburn, about fighting to stay alive and the scars left behind by knowing when to give in

alternatively titled "QuickStart", may be adapted into a conclusive essay specifically focusing on oliver and farleigh's relationship

The Eye of the Beholder: On Saltburn's Voyeurism & Violence [working title]

how wealth and class pushes the catton's toward the volatile reality of being able to look, but not touch. on desire and the lack thereof, and portraying yourself as an object to be desired

may end up as two separate essays on wealth and aestheticism but i'm pushing toward a conclusive essay about the intersection of the two, which i feel is at the heart of saltburn

alternatively titled "Poor Man's Pudding: A Melvillian Approach to Saltburn's Class", again, may be adapted into it's own essay

Gender-Fluid: A Study in Sexuality and Saltburn's Desire to be Dry

a deep dive into the bodily fluids of saltburn and how oliver upsets the standard of men who are just so lovely and dry. on the creative choice to lean into the messy wetness of sex and desire and the audience's instinct toward repulsion

a celebration of the grotesque and an examination of why we would label it as such

least developed of the four, heavily inspired by @charnelpit's lovely post about the fluids in saltburn

if anybody is actually interested in any of these, i can work toward something closer to a finished piece instead of just bullet points and quotes in a google doc, but mostly this is so i can share my very brief takes on a multitude of themes in saltburn that have been haunting me

edit for people seeing this in the future: all posts about my essays are being organized into my #saltburn 101 tag if you’re interested in following these through to development!

Can you talk about that HiJack Maze Runner Au idea you had?

Okay so

Jack would work very well in Thomas' role: he wakes up in the Box with no memory, ending up in the Glade with a bunch of other kids.

I'd like having both boys and girls in this case, just because I can, so maybe we can make this a rotbtd AU and have Rapunzel as the healer/doctor and Merida (plus Astrid and others) as Runners

Jack also meets Hiccup, Astrid's best friend and leader of the Glade (Jack totally expects a buff dude but Hiccup was the first Glader and everyone trusts his brain) (so he acts in Newt's role = when I first thought of this I hadn't realized I was In Danger)

Jack earns Hiccup and Astrid's trust and becomes Runner, they escape the Maze, maybe a secondary character or two die, Jack gets some memories back and remembers he has a little sister to save from WICKED (she's our Teresa equivalent, minus the romance ofc) (and the betrayal ordeal, which I actually liked in the movies but you know)

(Random detail: there's that Thomas/Brenda kiss scene but it's Jack and Toothiana (North as Jorge??) and you bet Jack has the "You're not her him" moment)

There's a period where it's unclear who's the cure in this case: it might be someone between Jack, his sister and Rapunzel (I'd want Rapunzel to be the cure, but maybe it takes away from the protagonists? mmmh)

As I said before "this is MY comfort au and I get to choose the ending" so Hiccup gets infected but they save him!! the gang defeats the bad guys and they lived happily ever after

i think it would be super fun to make a pibe riff off video !! aka the lyrics of one song blend into the lyrics of the next song. so if you guys have ideas uhh.. please put them in the notes !!

my only one is “is it a real crush? or is it limited to youuuuunicycles” which isn’t getting us very far

steven/mocha is canon

Mistborn theatre play concept:

it's the final empire, but every once in while Kelsier will say something that breaks the fourth wall.

my first idea was that in the scene where Kelsier and Vin and he teaches her about allowmancy he will say something like "hurry up Vin, the scene's about to end," but he will be the only character allowed to break the fourth wall.

PS: another idea! in the execution in the square, (end of chapter 26), he will say the entire monologue looking straight into the crowd. still no other character breaks the fourth wall.

The reasons for the Winter War in two maps:

alright that post about the welcome home balloons not being welcome home balloons at all but actually a point where lg jumps back is making ASTOUNDING amounts of sense and i am so unwell about it

-at this point, welcome home balloons would have to be for both cxs and lg, since they're both gonna need a hospital visit after this. who sets it up? ql? unlikely, seems like she's going through some shit too

-when would they even have time to do a timeskip this ep? i mean...stupid question, it's possible everything shown in the pv happens in like the first 10 minutes, but STILL

-the chibi shorts are canon. what if it's not welcome home balloons, but actually LG's birthday party, which we saw? your local elianna went back and rewatched it though, and there are some problems with this; the location is wrong (in the blurry image the decorations are in the sunroom, in the episode they're in the entrance), and the color of the balloons don't quite match up but still

-in the shorts LG DOES take a picture of CXS after he throws cake at him-- this could easily be a jumping point!!!!

-even if it's NOT LG's birthday party that the blurry image is referring to, that specific episode of the chibi shorts could have been just foreshadowing that some kind of party would be relevant in season 2

-but. but if it IS LG's birthday party from the short that LG ends up going back to. i'll lose my mind

I got a little oneshot idea after reading this post, however I’m lacking more or less the whole plot and which characters to use.

My first idea was that the one who hired the lawyer would be Viper. Who’d play the lawyer and who the detective, is beyond me. Then I read Whose Murderous Toddlers are These? ? (pls give it a read if you haven’t it’s to die for funny and sweet!!!) by @hopeswriting and got the idea that Skull would be the one to figure out how Viper did something bad - probably not a murder in this scenario - but something bad.

As for the why it wouldn’t last in court? Because all the evidence Skull (or whoever) would have would be inadmissible evidence. In other words the way he got that evidence is not okay from a legal point of view.

So the reason I’m making this post is: Would anyone be willing to help or even be interested in taking the idea?
