The paradox of filming this was that it’s such a dark film and it was such a delightful experience for everybody. -Anthony Heald

i love that emerald fennell is one of us

true or not this is so interesting and beautiful

the way felix is convinced he's living in a romance movie to the extent that he dresses up like juliet. he considers kissing oliver in the maze. he makes himself off limits but not quite with the open door while he's in the bath; he's the damsel of the film, no doubt. but felix's tragedy is that oliver is convinced it's a horror story and a tale of revenge. so he doesn't play his part as romeo. he vomits up the poison so he can't die from "some poison more" and leaves felix to die alone.

hate to break it to the felix stans but he would not have looked back in oliver’s direction if ollie hadn’t lied. oliver lied because felix was getting bored. that’s what he does lol. he sees people as ego boosters and less than him. oliver freaked him out because he was pointing out a flaw of felix’s. felix does not want to be seen. he wants to be worshiped as a god. not seen as a human.

if ollie didn’t kill him, i really believe it would’ve brought out a darker side to felix since oliver was perceived as a possession in felix’s mind. if ollie pulled away in order to protect himself, and moved on, felix would flip. if oliver stopped looking in his direction, felix would get obsessed and the tables would turn. he’s never been denied something he wants. he will want oliver as soon as he sees that ollie’s world no longer revolves around him. then he would become the predator.

i think that’s part of why oliver was so drawn to him. he can read people very well. he probably saw that side of felix and felt he would understand him. maybe hoped he could bring it out even.

but felix can never be wrong. he was so upset about ollie lying because he thought oliver needed saving. he lost his pet basically. it was a hit to his ego. he cared for oliver. probably even loved him, but his hero complex is his biggest enemy.

felix wasn’t heartless no. he was a nice guy but only when it fed his savior complex. he’s extremely full of himself.

trying to “fix” oliver’s family situation without his consent at all, speaks volumes. even after ollie begged him to turn around. sure it was a lie, but that’s not the point. felix does what felix wants, as long as it benefits him in the end.

wow! what a cool perception. i think though felix didn’t quite let himself be juliet either, not how he DIDN’T kiss him, how he still fucked other girls and kissed them and was sometimes really distant with oliver. but in another universe, they both probably would have played their parts.

the way felix is convinced he's living in a romance movie to the extent that he dresses up like juliet. he considers kissing oliver in the maze. he makes himself off limits but not quite with the open door while he's in the bath; he's the damsel of the film, no doubt. but felix's tragedy is that oliver is convinced it's a horror story and a tale of revenge. so he doesn't play his part as romeo. he vomits up the poison so he can't die from "some poison more" and leaves felix to die alone.

not sure I have ever seen barry keoghan play just a normal human person. he's always some sort of, like, capering retributive force of nature. killing of a sacred deer, green knight, eternals, saltburn... I didn't see banshees of inisherin. was he an actual guy in that or did he again personify the universe's mirthful contempt of all your dearest pretensions

David Tennant being a lifelong doctor who fan who was inspired by the show to act, becoming the Doctor and Ncuti Gatwa who watched David Tennant and was inspired to act playing the doctor opposite David’s doctor is the most beautiful thing
