i have so many THOUGHTS on wren stirling she’s the most underwritten character in the book (which makes sense, she has the least direct dynamic with oliver and it’s all his POV) and when iwwv inevitably gets a screen adaptation i hope she gets fleshed out

I usually don’t care about how people interpret text, but I’ll throw hands with anyone that says James Farrow is dead

"you can justify anything if you do it poetically enough,"

--m.l. rio, if we were villains

It's the middle of September. Time to rewatch Dead Poets Society and re-read If We Were Villains and have yet another heartbreaking experience.

the way I keep on keep on throwing myself towards tragic stories knowing they are tragic is insane, get me alcohol for surviving this combo

If We Were Villains

Foreshadowing, or something akin to that

[snowcoming]

do you ever just think about oliver and james and Richard and alexander and filippa and wren and meredith having the best third year filled with laughter and comedy and the complete contrast it had with fourth year because I do

and i become very sad

TSH: how to get away with murder

iwwv: how to don't get to get away with murder

[amali4m]

m l rio really said "you can justify anything if you do it poetically enough" and thought it justified making me lose my mind over a bunch of emo theatre kids huh

[trannibalcorpse]

alexander and filippa definitely gossip about the others, especially james and oliver, when they go out to smoke and i will die on that hill

[bvrtysbvtches]

no bc the bi panic oliver must’ve been feeling when he saw both his crushes hate making out with each other

[halleyys-comet]

"Whatever we did—or, more crucially, did not do—it seemed that so long as we did it together, our individual sins might be abated. There is no comfort like complicity."

Had to make a presentation for my creative writing class and I liked these slides enough to post them ehe :)

[lala-blahblah]

I will never make this because it would be for an audience of one (me) but ever since reading "If we Were Villains" (story about serious drama kids in college who perform shakespeare and deal with a murder) I have been entertaining the thought of a crack fic crossover with High School Musical The Musical The Series where the staff decides they will no longer put on shakespeare after the tragic accident that happened at Thanksgiving, because Shakespeare plays would only increase the tension and drama. So they hire Ms. Jen who decides their spring play will actually be High School Musical (which exists in the 90s in this universe) and it ruins the vibe so much that everyone gives up on being dark and mysterious because they're universally pissed at Ms Jen for making them learn choreoraphed basketball dancing.

to people who moved on from IWWV - what kind of sorcery do you practice? what witchcraft is it? wdym you don't think about it everyday? wdym you don't think about oliver spending 10 yrs in prison to protect james? james and oliver finally knowing how they both feel just to get separated again? or oliver's "It's not the whole truth. The whole truth is, I'm in love with him still" monologue?
