something about filth

[id: It's a drawing of an original character standing against an ocean background. He has brown skin and dyed blond hair, though his face is mostly cropped out of the frame. His back is facing the viewer, twisted slightly, and it is covered in bruises as well as several long lacerations and bite marks, some of which are still bleeding. His right shoulder has a jagged scar enveloping it and his right arm is covered in lichtenberg figures. /end id]

OVER THE GARDEN WALL (2014) Chapter 7: The Ringing of the Bell

[diivinesmite]

one of my biggest overall complaints of The Goldfinch as a movie is that it was so polished. the movie with an addict main character hardly had any drugs.. there was one shot of blood in the entire film unattached to any one person… the entire Vegas portion was lacking the air of sickness and hunger and filth that it does in the book.. Theo was exceptionally normal… or at least as normal as someone like him could be. do we as a society hate grime and grit and characters who are unsettling to follow in the narrative or was it just John Crowley

I wish we’d seen an actual scene in the film where they’re fully malnourished and living off chips (rather than just the implication where they steal food and Boris mentions having bread and sugar, but they otherwise look healthy). Or perhaps showing them throwing up in the pool or collapsed in vomit or something. That’s the reality of what was happening in the Vegas section. I wish that aspect felt more gritty, lived-in and tactile. I wanted the movie to make us feel hung over and sick for them.

(A little extra gripe is that the movie really downplays Theo and Boris’ drug use and alcoholism. They were pretty much getting drunk every day and frequently using drugs, whilst not eating properly - like Theo mentions how they often only had whatever they shoplifted, chips, and the hors d’œuvres that Xandra brings back. The movie gives the impression that they drink a few beers sometimes, maybe do some drugs occasionally for the hell of it. You don’t really see it affect their appearance other than Boris having tangled hair or whatever. There isn’t that underlying sense of aimlessness and sickness, as you said).

Yess! I rewatched the move since like it came out. Both of them were a mess for the 1.5 years Theo was in Vegas. His hair was longer, less “manhattan-styled” clothing and malnourished. I think he described himself and Boris as castaway children or latchkey kids. Homeless looking. They wouldn’t shower or brush their teeth. Sharing clothes becuase no one was doing laundry and Boris was always over.

Vegas was consistently described as a blur and it should visually appear that way if there is no movie narration.

It's so strange being old enough now to see gen alpha repeating the same tumblr discourse from when I was 14, but on tiktok this time. And I know that people 5-10 years older than me covered it in their time too. History is a circle.

I am *this* close to pre-ordering the new Fruits Basket manga box set that is set to come out early next year. It’s my favourite anime, so I think it will be worth it, but I want them to release what the covers will look like
