barry wasn’t fucking around. he was like “this is my man and i don’t play around! matter of fact *puts hand around his waist* he’s mine.” like girl we get it TRUST ME ain’t nobody taking away your jolly green giant lmao
Some of the saltburn interviews with Emerald (I died a few times reading these interviews)
"This is a meet-cute in our romcom"..."Barry and Jacob were already great friends. But when Jacob did that look, Barry said "Bloody hell! I need to sit down." That's what being struck by love feels like"
Oliver was sooo turned on when he said he hated Felix
"He wants to be special. And you can't be special on your own"
Ok listen I have seen the same take over and over that Felix would have gotten bored with Oliver if he didn’t lie because Oliver pointed out one of Felix’s flaws when he tried to clean his room.
But after watching it again I don’t think that’s it at all. I think Oliver rejected Felix in that scene. Felix laying there mostly naked I feel like if Oliver got down on the floor with him and offered something, Felix would have gladly done it. Look at the way Felix reacts afterwards. The way he looks so surprised at what Oliver is saying and still looks at him all silly/flirty and upside down. The way he says Oliver is driving him nuts I think it’s because he does way less and the girls always pick up on what he wants so why is he trying so hard with Oliver but all Oliver wants to do is clean his damn room. The nervous thumb biting and the watching him leave and then not calling him to go out. That’s hurt feelings. That’s rejection.
Then he’s only all in when Oliver lies because Oliver is so vulnerable with him and came to HIM for comfort so it’s proof Oliver does want him and care about him so he feels needed and wanted again and instantly reverses his hurt feelings and goes back to the way he was.
If these two lovely idiots would have just had a damn conversation with each other and overtly said I WANT TO FUCK YOU PLEASE then it probably could have been the love story our little Felix/juliet wanted it to be.
Ok I saw the mirror selfies and my little fic writing brain is in overdrive. Imagine Felix and Oliver are on separate vacations for spring break or something. Felix sends Oliver the mirror selfie and he’s got all his layers on because he went where it’s cold and keeps pushing Oliver to send him one back.
“I don’t want to, I just got up. I’m not even dressed yet.”
“Show me anyways 😋”
And Felix gets that sexy little shirtless mirror selfie back.
He just leaves Ollie on read and goes completely silent for like 30 mins. Oliver didn’t notice at first, he just woke up and is busy. But after a while he noticed Felix saw the pic and didn’t say anything. Oliver starts freaking out a little wondering if it was weird to send him something without his shirt on. But just as the panic hits its peak he gets a message from Felix with a link to the ticket he bought Ollie to come join him on his vacation.
