I think a lot of you understand oppression as "how many people are mean to you online" and not like. A systemic thing that affects all facets of one's life.

The thing is that sex scenes actually are incredible ways to explore character. People are at their most vulnerable during sex! The way they have sex says a lot of very interesting things about their desires, obviously, but also their psychology, their vulnerabilities, their hopes and fears, etc. It is completely insane to me to think that sex scenes have no value other than to sexually excite the audience. And even if their only value is to sexual excite the audience - SO WHAT?? A movie is supposed to excite and entertain you! Grow up!!!

Bunny’s parents at the funeral were fascinating; the way his father acted like everything was just the fine half the time while spontaneously breaking down at seemingly random intervals vs his mom busying herself with the aesthetics of the funeral (not for bunny’s benefit mind u, but to make thier family look trendy and put together) and showing almost no visible signs of grief at all.

+ The way Mr Corcoran was trying so hard to ingratiate himself with Henry and preform knowing him well, cus he knew enough to know that Henry was an integral part of bunny’s life, and yet he knew Jack shit about Henry because, by extension, he didn’t rlly know his son all that well either.

They’re the only instances of family of the Greek class that we rlly get to see featured in the novel and it would be a missed opportunity not to consider bunny’s own behavior and traits in conjuncture with that of his family: a boisterous fake it till u make it attitude (at the expense of genuine expression/connection) from dad, emphasis on wealth and status over relationships from mom, and I’m sure there’s lots to be gleaned from his brothers and their children as well, though I can’t recollect well enough to point to anything specifically just now.

it's genuinely so sickening fr. and it's crazy too bcs during the conversation about the bacchanal, henry says "the corcorans would rather see him dead" than pay for the schooling they sent him off to, and to see how carelessly they handle his funeral is genuinely such a gut punch because he really isn't being dramatic whatsoever

#ughhh the corcoran's genuinely make me sick #bunny corcoran #tsh donna tartt #the secret history

camilla macaulay oouuhghghdhs

looking in the mirror and seeing her brother, trying to grow her hair out so she looks less like him but it looks so wrong she chops it off again in a fit of rage

dialing his number then hanging up again, staring at the scar of the cigarette burn and reminding herself that it is not worth it, he is not worth it

going into the church one day where he found comfort and sitting at the back, watching the ghost of him at ten racing between the pews with her, all bright smiles and shy laughter before anything had gone wrong for him, for them

hearing someone in town confusedly call her by his name and flinching, turning around in shock as if he might be standing up the road, only to find the person looking right at her instead

UGHSDNVLSHDL camilla macaulay you are so serious to me

#complicated relationship with her abuser core #bcs already familial abuse is bad but fuck them looking just like you?? seeing them every day you wake up???#camilla macaulay #the secret history #tsh donna tartt

awesome that you can form a bond through gay sex which neither of you are engaging in, you're just both thinking about it really hard

"we cut the nobody scene from the odyssey" "we cut the religious trauma and parental abuse from carrie" i'm starting to think that studios barely funding original films is starting to have an effect where directors make up a story and then slap an IP on it in order to sell. or maybe some bitches just can't read anymore idk it's one or the other

Two things absolutely changed my life as a writer. You ready?

One- Your characters can be bad people, they can do bad things. There doesn't have to be a reason or a moral. You can make them bad if you want to. No other reason needed.

Two- it doesn't have to be good, it just needs to be written. On my last book i literally wrote the words "dumbest version" on the top of the page because I had seen some advice to do that. It changed everything. I stopped trying to make it perfect, I just tried to make it. Period. Full stop. You can edit bad writing. You can't edit a blank page.

And honestly? Defiance is the best writing I've ever done. All because I let my characters be bad and I gave myself the freedom to write it badly.
