Emerald Fennel Writer/Director of 'Saltburn' Breaks Down the Arrival Scene from 'Saltburn' for Vanity Fair Magazine via Youtube

#lol i see now why the whole film is just one long love letter fancam to jacob elordi--same emerald same 🤤😂😂 #so silhouetting felix/jacob's body thru light fabrics was for ollie's benefit? or hers personally? she means she's aware of je's bod? #if it was for ollie's then its malpractice on her part to not have shown ollie appreciate felix's body --not even a tender touch between #her giggling--losing her train of thot--averting her eyes tells me it's the later--welcome to the JE lovers club EM #this is weirding me out bc she doesn't give us a definitive answer in the film whether ollie was “IN” love with felix #in fact she goes to great lengths to avoid it but she's saying here to variety that he is??? #saltburn #emerald fennell #saltburn 2023 #barry keoghan #jacob elordi #homoeroticism #oliver quick #felix catton #felix x oliver

always thinking about young cersei lannister in casterly rock! the walls the same colour as her hair. her eyes the same colour as the hangings on the walls. her golden lannister mother dead and the only people left her golden lannister family. the bards playing the rains of castamere every other month under her windows. the crest embroidered into her clothes and stamped into the doors and engraved into the pommels of her guards. the sandstone building up on the hill looking down at its people and sandstone cersei never emerging from it -- golden bird in golden cage becoming golden cage...her blood the same colour as her house!!!!

#got #asoiaf #cersei lannister #having a lot of feelings about her out of nowhere #i just knooooow she's on that jes chastain in crimson peak shit #i just Know tywin had mirrors everywhere in her quarters. i know that the house was made so that it reflected the children back at them but #jaime was always in the training yard and tyrion was never the correct reflection so all that was left was her! #and why should she not think of herself as heir then!!! she was the only one there!!!! #of Course she hates tyrion. she could never fit him in! tywin would never have allowed it #god its so funnnnnn. miss herrrr

Listen I love "I am no man" as much as the next lady who was once a barefoot girl who ran around with a sword. But it irks me Every Time that she sneaks off to battle because Theoden and Eomer a) genuinely want to keep her from experiencing this Horror and b) maam you are third in line to the throne imagine if all three of you died. Do you have no love of country and land???

#listen even the state of the union requires one guy to go hang out alone in a bunker #eowyn was the last line of defense!! #and also. she hasnt HAD to fight in war before! its BAD! Eomer obviously hates it! #im an older sister. if i had experienced the horrors and knew what i was going into. i would not have my brother go as well #i would not wish it on him #iirc its less girlbossy in the book. but in the movie i just want to smack her upside the head #girl they dont want you to fight bc you are GOOD at what you do and they need someone they love and trust to make it thru #and if they both die they will be able to rest easy knowing the land they died for was in capable and loved hands #keep in mind as well that tolkien WAS in war. #rip to her but if i was the kings neice id take the responsibility that was falling upon my shoulders and know that i wasnt trained #and KEEP THE PEOPLE!!!! Maam who do you think is gping to lead your people????? #lotr #nia post #and yeah i love her role in the battle #but her lack of responsibility to her people and her position always bugs me

One thing that gets me everytime is that Stoick would have absolutely LOVED Zephyr. And Nuffink of course but I have this weird feeling that he wouldve doted non stop on Zephyr specifically. She wouldve been spoiled rotten by her grandfather, taken everywhere on top of his shoulders or the crook of his elbow. He would be reading her stories before bed. He would have learned to braid her hair and sat down with her on tea parties. He wouldve gone with her troll hunting. He would be there for her and her brother in the way he never got to be with Hiccup because the times were different now and then. He would absolutely be her best friend and Im SAD they never got to meet.

#I dont hve legal basis for this one I just feel it through the vibe #she’s the one who got his hair color I think he wouldve been cooing for weeks after her birth #and lets be honest #even years after #and Zephyr would adore him unendingly #she thinks he’s the coolest #Stoick would also love Nuffink dont get me wrong #he adores both of them #he would kill and die for them no questions asked #but I think what he and Zephyr wouldve had was something very special #well while were here remember to BOYCOTT #BOYCOTT the brands from the bds list #and even those who arent but are supportive of the apartheid occupation #if its within your capabilities. be safe out there #be loud and proud about supporting palestine #httyd #how to train your dragon #hiccup haddock #httyd hiccup #hiccup and toothless #toothless #stoick the vast #zephyr haddock #hiccstrid #nuffink haddock #how to train you dragon: the hidden world #hiccup how to train your dragon

i feel like some artists who like working with text + drawing don't realize that writing letters is also drawing.

words are made up of marks and shapes; text is as much a part of the image as the drawing, even if we classify it differently. you Can write your text in the same style you might use to write a grocery list, but i think it's a missed opportunity...

Just like you can practice to improve your drawing skill and cultivate an art style through referencing various things, you can practice to improve your handwriting-for-art and eventually develop a coherent writing style. the best part is that artistically treated type doesn't need to be "beautiful" or legible, just expressive and tuned to your general artistic goals.

in this way, text is a powerful tool for expressing your creative vision!

#indexed post #calligraphy #typography #Shannon Finnegan is an artist whose handwriting really makes her work stand out #I watched her write something live--she's trained her hand to write in that characteristic style #and like yknow comic letterers exist for a reason. So we know that lettering is a big but unspoken deal #This is not in reference to any particular artist its just an observation thats been on my mind esp in like more diy spaces #Im also suddenly remembering that ive literally always been like this. I used to do a lot of 'fancy' lettering as a child. #I think this is common? #my autistic fixation on graphic design and typography circa 2010 was not common though i know that. #Anyways my rant abt things that dont rly matter is over

Needing a Sua perspective from the ALNST auditions to Round 1. I never put much thought into what happens to the cast post-Anakt Garden graduation (do they immediately go to the auditions? Is there a period of time where they dont see each other until they recognize each other at the audition? Theres a considerable amount of time between the auditions and their Alien Stage season, did they see each other often between then or...? etc.), but regardless, imagine being her and having to choose being sabotaging your own audition so you dont have to go the the Sing, Win, or Die Show or putting your in your all in hopes of winning and spending just a bit more time with this girl you love because you know itll likely be the last time you see her. Imagine...

#dee p thoughts #alien stage #alnst #vivinos #like. not as if life wouldve been sunshine and rainbows if sua failed the audition and never went on alien stage hashtag Im a Pet to Aliens #but like. sua was definitely more in the know. Im not the type to believe mizi was completely naive but I think mizi may have bought into #the idea that dying Wasnt That Bad due to what she was taught and her trust in her owners...until round 1- maybe mizi was confident she'd #truly win and/or her owners praised and made her feel so. sua: ''My dream is Mizi's dream. (paraphrased)'' etc etc #maybe it was the dream of mizi's owners that mizi wanted to fulfill or mizi just wanted to impress her owners in return for their care... #but sua knew. she knew it would either be she never sees mizi again whether she dies or achieve such fame that sua could never reach her... #or sua can spend a little time with her. whatever they have left. whether it was her or mizi the likelihood of them ever seeing each other #again... because mizi is intent on this. she is going to join alien stage. she is going to pass the auditions because she is so dazzling. #...I need to be with her. #I think considering the ivan and sua comic anakt garden may be a pipeline to alien stage? its functionally a music school iirc so I think i #at least gives them a leg up and humans are put into anakt garden with at least some intention of having them try out for alien stage- #but nonetheless I imagine there was a liminal space where none of the cast really knew where their lives were going post-anakt garden. #not that they have much choice in the matter but still dalkjdalkbn- that liminal space mustve been a dark time for majority of them #because well. their owners. and they couldnt meet each other and may never meet again... #regarding the time between the auditions and their alien stage season I imagine its funnily a lot of. training. pr vocals visuals... #they have autographs despite them all potentially dying quickly they had them draft and practice and perfect autographs guys adjlkbnadlfkjf #the look mizi and sua shared in sweet dream when they both passed the auditions together...AUGH.....

i will say again and again how DELIGHTED i am that priya won. but i am also delighted that she and bowie made it to the finale together. about halfway through my initial watch of the season i just kinda went “oh it has to be them in the final two. it HAS to be” and for once in my life total drama agreed!! because it couldn’t be anyone else it HAD to be them!! and it was!!

#td spoilers #idek if this makes sense #im just overly emotional about the fact that priya won #because she was like the new courtney to me (and we all know how i feel about courtney) #and the WHOLE TIME i wanted her to win so badly while believing based on their past seasons fresh would never let her #and then they did!!! #ive never had a fav of mine win before!! never!! and the fact that the fav who trained her whole life for this won... #makes me emotional!! #god its unreal having a new season in 2023 #i feel like im in middle school again #oh!! but also like bowie was such a strong competitor that he had to make it too!! #like i was SO worried that his fight with emma would get him eliminated which would have been AWFUL #but its such a fucking total drama thing to pull that it wouldnt have surprised me #but he didnt get out bc of emmas shitty relationship!! he stayed in!! #he stayed and he slayed lmao #no but yeah i just. really really appreciate how the final two were actually two of the strongest smartest and hardest working competitors #it felt FAIR in a way a lot of the td finales havent felt to me #like neither of them really relied on plot armor to get there #td bowie #td priya #im writing a whole essay in these tags

#attollo #in the tags because he's mary sue af and its embarrassin... #i've said it before but her power is p much transferrable healing factor so like. can take other peoples ouchies or give his to others #and then heals really quickly as long as there are enough excess calories to burn through #side effects often include light headedness or fainting if its a big job. #also like. she tends to transfer any big cuts or injuries that would result in visible scarring.. only exceptions are the piercings and #the edgelord tattoos he got on his fingertips to warn people about his fatal cheese touch (ie touch of extreme wound generosity) #oh right yeah can only transfer wounds through direct contact #like skin to skin #shed still die if like. shot to the head. but everything else theres a chance of survival ESP if shes touching someone or smthn else living #uhhh what else what else. #hangs out with sysba and suha for the clothes probably. #still has medical training.. maybe is an underground doctor or smthn idk #my art #and YES thats his natural hair yes its bleach damaged no idk how to convey that. next. #.. oh yeah lol works with ovo. like not FOR them but. might as well. #oc: alice #EDIT: I want it to be more balanced and less. multifaceted (u get ONE power) so: #instead its just status transfer like maybe a suuper mild healing factor because of how the transfer works - #-can spread trauma to other cells in other areas to minimize overall harm' #-and its semi-automatic so the IS potential for a ned the piemaker situation #so like if alice is freshly dead but the cells arent.. boom transfer #ok i think thats better.

fellas that last ted lasso episode. hmm.

listen i'll be real no matter what im gonna be out here gushing abt trent crimm cause he's my special little guy and im obsessed with him, but considering the Literal Paragraphs ive been writing abt all the shit i LIKED about the show, i didn't know how else to process these Less Good emotions than by blurting it all out over like two hours (instead of doing the dishes, lmao).

tldr; s3e2 was such an emotional high point for me, since i really felt like it had something concrete + specific to say about physical violence + social/emotional violence, and how they're BOTH highly valued as masculine ideals. but the episodes since then...

it kind of feels like im watching the result of a long and bloody fight between different writers? writers who, apparently, wanted Very different things from this last season, so now we're getting this. bizarro world mish-mash of two hypothetical shows, where tone + content + themes vary WILDLY and inconsistently from episode to episode - and even scene to scene!

[cw: discussions of sexism + racism, in a doylist context, also s3e5 spoilers]

specifically, i feel really disappointed and hurt that they went that direction with shandy's arc. i understand that we're only half way through the season, and obviously anything could happen between now and then but... really? like, is there some kind of budgeting issue here? we can't afford for there to be more than three (complex, not sexy lamps) women in any given episode? is that why the second jack appears, barbara loses any depth (what happened to that lovely moment of connection with the snow globes????????), and THEN the second SHANDY goes off her head it's. jack time? apparently???? like. this would feel a lot better as a viewer if at this point the show hadn't PRIMED me for jack doing something insanely stupid + cruel for no reason except 'haha Keeley Bad At Her Job'.

like. the first thing we see of shandy fine is her pride in keeley, and genuine appreciation of her hard work and skill. she's CLEARLY not stupid, otherwise why would the rest of her introductory scene be her helping keeley out with filmmaking advice (the extras thing) AND random, life experience shit (knowing how to deal with goat shit)?? she knows her way around a set, and she doesn't make any of the footballers feel judged, even when she's clearly thrown by the clips they're providing her.

so why in the space of like, barely a few weeks, does ALL of that get thrown out the window? 'condoms for balls'??? why are we supposed to just take for granted that she's stupid + overly ambitious (other than the Fucking Obvious!) when the show put NO effort into actually setting that up???? like, if her first scene was her monstrously fucking UP the shoot for keeley, and keeley hired her on pure sympathy then like. sure. whatever. no room for bleeding hearts in business. but that ALSO sucks as a story line for ted lasso, a show that (according to its OWN press releases!) is supposed to be about kindness and human connection and breaking cycles!

it just. it hurts? in a way where its like, i don't believe even a little bit that this was what the writers were aiming for with those scenes, and it frightens me that there could be such a wide gulf between intent and result. especially when bonding about The Shandy Incident is what got keeley and jack together (which i am trying... So hard to feel positive about, because explicitly confirming keeley's bisexuality is amazing, least of all bc it makes her jokes with rebecca feel a lot less mean-spirited on the writers' parts, retroactively)... like how am i supposed to be enjoying their moments together when i feel like the show's whole premise has been betrayed???

and really? the one moment nate gets to feel good in this WHOLE season, it's bc the server at the restaurant who previously could not care if he dropped dead right in front of him showed him some affection + validation?????

like, sure, i GUESS im happy that this random excuse for an arc has lead to a slightly more sympathetic female character existing at least in the PERIPHERY of the show's main storyline, except no im fucking not? i don't care about this fucking restaurant, and even though ive been DESPERATELY trying not to hate jade (even though the writers themselves can't seem to decide if she's Literally Racist or just a depressed service worker) NATE shouldn't care about jade! the ONLY way i can see this being an actually interesting arc for nathan is if its another exploration of his inability to leave behind the things + people that have hurt him, combined with years of conditioning where he's never allowed to express being annoyed/upset at anyone (which richmond!!! contributed to!!!!!! 'if you're mad, count to ten. if that doesn't work, count again'??? cool speedrun tips for resentment ted!). like, an arc where we see that distance away from richmond hasn't helped nate as much as it's removed some of the worst triggers, so a taste of athens ends up in the same awful pit of resentment + loathing as ted did. which nate clearly hates! he doesn't LIKE being that person! he apologised to a PAINTED DOLL of ted!!!! but when he doesn't have the framework or tools or SUPPORT to do anything else...

like. where is his team? obviously im not expecting the show to start being about a bunch of football players that AREN'T from richmond but? even just a small moment of appreciation? or hell! maybe they hate him! if we could see LITERALLY ANYTHING abt the sport which nathan has dedicated his life to, and how his Actual Coaching style is positively or negatively impacted by the lessons he learned at richmond? this is a show ABOUT football!!!!!

i just. a taste of athens? again? a-fucking-gain?????

and honestly, the worst part is that i REALLY liked the little monologue that nate got to give about how important the restaurant was to him! as much as it showed that nate is still just as passionate + earnestly defensive of the things he loves, it ALSO shows that he 1. spends that energy explaining his passion to people who don't deserve it/won't care, and 2. gets attached to things that really fucking hurt him! and like. i am on my hands and KNEES for that to be the 'point' of this arc but at this point i feel like that's me being naive! but if fucking JADE from fucking ATHENS is the civilising white gf who FINALLY talks nate down from him ~ ignorant, vengeful crusade ~ against the absolute ~ matyrs ~ of goodness at afc richmond, i just. like. what are we even DOING here gang?

i don't know. it hurts that sam's gone from being an almost principal character in s2 to only getting passing lines in s3. it hurts that rebecca's off in her own world, talking to strangers, having life-changing revelations on her own, surrounded by sets we're never going to see again, where every scene she DOES get to spend w one of the richmond members feels hasty and rushed, like the episode wants to get a few characters obligatory appearances out of the way asap. it hurts that all the chekov's guns around zava's arc (jamie's resentment, ted's lack of guidance, dani being 'demoted' + colin being benched) were apparently all just blanks, to be hastily plastered over with one big long speech about... ted wanting everyone to have higher self esteem, or something?

and listen, more the fool me if another episode comes out next week that i completely adore, and i spend like five days singing its praises. im mostly writing this so i can go INTO the next ep without feeling resentful + upset! i'll be STOKED if i was wrong and all of those little details ARE actually important, and these arcs have more to them than this! but for now im just sad and annoyed :(

#ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso critical #<- this tag has like five posts in it total so i sincerely doubt anyone here needs it but i also Definitely don't want it showing up in the #main tag so??? fr pls lmk if anyone needs a specific tag for this #also. i swear im gonna stop malding and go to bed any minute now but #would rlly love if we got more than one episode dedicated to keeley doing her job. would love if we got more than one episode of ANY of #these characters doing their jobs?? hey what the fuck it just hit me there's been no training scenes since ep 1 #(not counting jamie + roy since that's JUST jamie and roy - not all the coaches and not all the team) #like . remember how that's how ted won over the players to begin with? his coaching style? and how energetic + involved + earnest he was? #the way he ran laps WITH the team and then made a joke out of how they all beat him? #its just. lots of telling and not showing this season which im really hoping changes soon
