The Goldfinch, Carel Fabritius 1654, The Mauritshuis, Den Haag ..
i posted this teaser to twitter already but i’m posting it here too because i love it
Yeah man sorry to tell you that your substance abuse in your teen years with your friend made your brain chemically reliant on him. My diagnosis? Homosexual. Prognosis, you have 5 years before you explode
Shout out to the grader who gets my frq 3 essay and has to hear about Theodore Decker, Boris Pavlikovsky, and art historians tendencies to focus on the minuscule rather than the whole when it comes to the transient nature of art
Andy Barbour - a planet without an atmosphere
It was unthinkable. I’d thought of calling Andy a million times and it was only embarrassment that had kept me from it; it was true that I didn’t keep up with anyone from the old days but I did bump into someone from our school every now and again and our old schoolmate Martina Lichtblau (with whom, the year before, I had had a brief and unsatisfying affair, a total of three stealthy fucks on a fold-out sofa)- Martina Lichtblau had spoken of him,
“Andy’s in Massachusetts now, are you still in touch with Andy, oh yeah, just as humongous a geek as ever except he plays it up so much now it’s almost, like, kind of retro and cool? Coke bottle glasses? Orange corduroys and a haircut like Darth Vader’s helmet?”
The one good thing from the Goldfinch movie is Aneurin Barnard as Boris but everytime I see him in a different movie I'm baffled. He has a british accent????!
WHAT IM SAYING
Boris Pavlikovsky and Theodore Decker are possibly the worst two people in fiction not including morality but just as people but they’re perfectly human in a way no other novels but Donna Tartt’s own have quite replicated. The reality of it, the little moments we see between them, legs tangled in bed and holding each other but still somehow managing a level of animosity that would seem impossible for friends to have, like they hate and love each other as all human beings manage to do. They’re not character profiles or plot points, they’re people in a story that react like people do. Gotta love The Goldfinch and the unreliability of Theodore’s perspective
can we get donna tartt on hot ones
If anyone has any script writing advice let me know! Trying to properly articulate how I think a mini series for tgf should go is a struggle (only the opening scene really, the rest I’ve got down a bit better)
Ramblings and other thoughts below the cut !
you know what’s really annoying? when theo meets boris and says he turned out to be “one of the great friends of my life”. one of??? bitch on GOD who else is talking to you
He had to switch out “great loves of my life” in seconds before anyone could see
actually i think the biggest obstacle for boreo will be that theo will never want to come out and boris will never want to be exclusive
theo less tactfully than he realizes repeatedly sidesteps mrs barbour's assurances that its okay if he brings a plus one to family functions. mid foreplay boris pulls up his patient portal to show theo his latest results because one time he gave theo chlamydia and they didnt talk for 6 months. boris tries to kiss him in public and theo nearly jumps into traffic. boris' dopamine receptors are totally fried and he requires novelty to operate at anything resembling a functional level. theo has convinced himself theyre "just fooling around" even though its been going on for years. boris' need for intense emotional connection will never be satisfied by someone who keeps him at arms length. theo is not-so-secretly deeply insecure about boris' hoes in different area codes and is mean about it to his face. theyre both waiting for the other to say i love you and its not happening. also they co-own a dog
You’re preaching the truth so hard you might have to pick up a pen and give the people a few chapters
