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!

Few aggie doodles from last night!
So ever since the movie dropped, I uhhhhh, I've been a little obsessed with Springbonnie/Springtrap. 🫣 Not to mention how Matthew Lillard has put me in the CRISIS of my LIFE 💀 /hj
I can't help but see them as a silly little goober man. :( When Will is NOT in the picture that is, jfjzjxhr-
But yea anyway, idk wtf is in aggie's pencil/pixel brush, but damn I love it 😩

Thinking about ada and pm on a joint dinner at a fancy restaurant. Some time after their dinner an underrated song starts playing and skk whip their heads to look at each other.
It's their song.
It's the song they first heard on the local diner radio at 15, it's the song they listened to on repeat while sharing earphones at 16, it's the song they sang together at karaoke at 17, it's the song they danced to under the rain at 18, it's the song Chuuya listened lying on his bed for countless nights, it's the song Dazai sang everyday at the agency. It's their song.
Surprisingly, Chuuya is the one to offer a hand first.
"Come on mackerel, it's our song isn't it?"
Dazai is taken aback for a moment, before he grins and takes Chuuya's hand and they start dancing in the middle of the restaurant. It's messy, it's stupid. The choreography is made by their 17 years old selves. But they don't care. They're completely lost in each other.
The others don't stop them either because it's been a while since any of them saw the duo this happy and carefree. Both Fukuzawa and Mori think they should have dinners like this more often.
