obligatory pinned post time, i suppose!

my name is styx, pronouns they/them, im an adult, and i am Very opinionated. i will not apologize for this<3

i also have 10 copies of the book and counting, and have all available movies on dvd (i have plans to collect them on vhs if i can, too)

(i also write but i try to keep my fic talk over at @styxpenz ! my art is kept at @styxnbonez but i only post the Big Stuff, the best way to see my shitty doodles of nick and gatsby kissing is to befriend me. sorry)

((sometimes i get intoxicated and say stupid shit. block the tag 'styx partakes' if you dont care to see that. also, block the tag 'not safe for fitzgerald' if you dont want to see suggestive posts))

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

Alan Ladd and Betty Field for Elliott Nugent’s THE GREAT GATSBY (1949).

why cant characters be little freaks. why cant they be a lil weird. must all characters be nice and well adjusted? must they all have healthy emotional regulation and a firm handle on their mental health? can they not be a lil fucked up? a lil off putting? is it a crime for a character to be, dare i say it, annoying?

i love when characters lie to themselves in the complete privacy of their own minds

If you could create any movie you wanted, what would be the MAIN purpose you'd create it for?

Create a film adaptation of an existing piece of media

Make a sequel/prequel/spinoff of a series I like

Create positive awareness about a person, group, or way of life

Create NEGATIVE awareness about a person, group, or way of life

Just pure artistic expression/create an artistic experience

Tell an original story about my OCs

Highlight a social issue I care about (e.g. bullying, homophobia, etc)

Highlight an ethical/environmental/etc issue I care about (e.g. climate change)

Explore a 'core value' (e.g. tolerance, forgiveness, etc)

Something else specific

I'm not sure

It's likely that many movies would involve more than one of these things– but what would be the main thing motivating you to create it in the first place?
