//SPOILERS FOR THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY//
the near end of the movie when tom writes the letter as if he was dickie is so very telling and one of the main things that just urg pains me in the movie
idk about the original book or other characterizations, but in this movie, tom does truly seem to have at least a level of emotions even if not much empathy. his writing the letter feels like a way he’s coping. like what i mean is that he’s writing the ending he wished was real. the words and moments he always imagined he had between him and dickie. dickie was never the one to call tom a brother. but he always imagined that was their relationship. every scene where tom plays as dickie post freddie’s death is just projections. tom projecting his feelings through dickie in a way i’ve never seen truly be done so very well. he says that he (as in dickie) confided and loved and trusted tom more than even marge when that’s just what tom wished in his head. in that scene with the police, he gets enraged at kept talking about how irritating it was for marge to be asking about marriage marriage marriage when that’s what tom was annoyed about- not dickie. he kept emphasizing that he would never keep a photo of a male friend- which was just projecting outward views of gay relationships. the entire scene he was basically defending himself to an accusation that was never made that he as in dickie loved tom almost as a way to pretend dickie did love tom and just felt a need to hide it.
ok time to press play and continue to rant and scream as the ending of the movie comes up
I am now reading Ripley's Game, the third book. In this one, Ripley again gets a crush on a nice young man, which this time he expresses by tricking him into becoming an assassin for hire. It's definitely a step up from murder, but Ripley should still start smaller, maybe with asking a fellow out for a drink sometime.
You are in love with your best friend. You've known him your whole life. He's the new kid, you just met him this year. You were 28 and he bailed you out of jail. You're way too busy to date. You've been married three times. You met a pretty girl and you want to take her dancing. Your girlfriend died and you couldn't save her. You're a doctor. You're a student. You're a dreamer. Your dad is ruining your life. Your dad is dead. You don't talk about your parents much. You're an only child. You have a younger brother and he thinks the world of you. You have two brothers and one of them is gone and it's all your fault. Your best friend is slipping away and there's nothing you can do about it. He's right here and you promised you'd take care of him. He promised they'd never split you apart but he lied. He gave up everything for you. He gave up everything you believed in. He never gave up, even after you did. You're dying and it's not fair. You're trapped. There's nothing else you can do about it. They're going to kill you. It's going to kill you. You're going to kill you. You danced until you died. You took your final bow. You ran away together. The last thing you heard was your brother. The last thing you did was relent. The last thing you saw was your best friend. You were good. You were really good.
Thinking about how weird newsies fans must sound to everyone else. You ask someone about their favorite character and they reply “oh yeah it’s gotta be doorknob” and you’re just standing there like “who tf is doorknob” and they go “you remember doorknob, he was partially visible in one song” and you look it up later and he has a whole backstory, a subreddit dedicated to him and 500 fics on ao3 most of which are shipping him with someone named tomato
The concept of painting scenery is so sweet. Ouuuh my love for the world is overflowing, ouh I must do all I can to capture an iota of the beauty I see in it, because love is woven intricately into the fabric of my soul and because I see light and color and brightness in places where it may or may not even exist. Because love. I love. I love living. I love loving. I love life. I will capture it and savor it. Love and life are my muses and they are beautiful, beautiful, things. Oooouuuhhhh
In finals season its kinda hard to find any joy really but ill try
-My mooties (you tagging me, fast checking in on me, denum messaging me this morning)
- Like Real People Do by hozier
- My friend and I bought 2 lemonade and she liked mine better and hated hers and I didnt really care for either so we switched and everyone is happy now (see how hard it is to come up with things that bring me joy in finals season)
"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is
Sex is not essential. You can live without it. Full stop.
Not having sex isn't shameful or a sign of failure. It also doesn't make anyone boring.
You are not entitled to having sex with anybody and nobody is entitled to having sex with you.
Sex is not what makes someone an adult.
Nobody's worth is defined by how much sex they have or don't have.
Sex is not equally important to everyone.
You can have fulfilling and happy relationships without sex.
You should only have sex on your own terms, not because you feel like you owe it to someone, or because you feel like you'd be incomplete without it.
Know your boundaries around sex and be firm about them. Know how to respect other people's boundaries.
The previous point also applies when it comes to discussing sex. If someone doesn't wanna talk about it or hear about it you have to back down.
Anything can be sexual but not everything has to be sexual.
