a blog run by an idiot full of sound and fury @shrevetin - Tumblr Blog

Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.

— William Faulkner.

"It was not and then it was. It was Jewel’s mother and then it was not Jewel’s mother. Then it was not. Then it was not the fish. Then it was not the fish. I can hear the bed and her face and them and I can feel the floor..."

As i lay dying by William Faulkner

i survived btw just needed some time to recover. oh my god

#CURSED!!#the jason and miss quentin subplot is so much more uncomfortable that i expected. very very in your face #they kept misattributing quotes and entire scenes it was such a mess #i mentioned they kinda pretend og quentin never existed but he keeps haunting the narrative i kept catching his scenes or quotes #man #tsatf

#i feel like im tripping on like 5 different drugs #this sure is A Movie #i can't even be too mad at the caddy mischaracterization because Everything Else is even stranger #i swear i was going “what's happening” to my imaginary audience every 5 minutes #it's like 60% original scenes and the scenes from the book aren't even really faithful because the context is different #i truly cannot express how different it is btw #the wikipedia page is the tip of the iceberg in explaining this movie's deal #I'll make a full post tomorrow when i finish it omg #jason and caroline are french For Some Reason #caroline is also mr compson's 2nd wife and apparently she already had jason when they married #BUT caddy mentions them growing up together and still says jason has father's name as if it's got anything to do with him 😭#like i get it's lifted from the book but do you see what i mean #also they tone down jason's cruelty or just basically get rid of it again For Some Reason #will go into more detail later again #also i'm not sure how i went this long without mentioning that apparently in this world they had a secret 4th brother named howard #who seems to serve no purpose other than drinking and kiiinda standing up for caddy? i guess? it's complicated #also this howard guy replaces quentin. uncle quentin just doesn't exist straight up #it's mentioned in passing by miss quentin that this universes og quentin apparently shot himself over love (???) in his mother's bedroom #but she seemingly never explains their relation so maybe here he's one of caddy's lovers?? miss quentin's father?? the story is made up? id #it's so bizarre that the ONLY thing that's left of him is the suicide 😭😭😭#again I'll write more tomorrow but Lord Have Mercy #tsatf #me talking

The catcher in the rye is crazy because it’s a book about how horrible the world is the more you learn about it, and how you have to find the people you love and love you and cherish the moments you have, and always try to see the beauty in the world, hoping and striving for a day when all that you see is wonder and beauty. Also the main character is Holden goddam caulfield

INTERVIEWER: Some people say they can’t understand your writing, even after they read it two or three times. What approach would you suggest for them? WILLIAM FAULKNER: Read it four times.

being a ‘sound & the fury’ fan is like *checks tags that haven’t updated in 3 years* *plays the single 8tracks fanmix for caddy i’ve been listening to for 8 years* *reads corny shmoop analysis of the book just to feel anything*

#prev i also have a tsatf playlist i listen to when i need a hit 😭😭#i can also look at my robin hsr acrylic stand that reminds me of caddy #or my 3 copies of the book #it's rough #tsatf
