maybe the poison drips through and enters your heart, inextricable from your blood. however hard you try to run from the rot, its smell still lingers on your clothes.

Is it too niche to ask for a Kpop Demon Hunters edit of Rumi and Jinu to Caleb Trask by The Crane Wives (and when it asks “how long you gonna wait for those azaleas to bud” it’s replaced with “how long you gonna wait for those patterns to fade”)

James Dean

James Byron Dean (born in Marion, Indiana on February 8, 1931) was an American actor who dropped out of the University of California, Los Angeles, where he was studying drama, to pursue acting full-time. He made his television debut in a Pepsi commercial, but struggled to gain acting roles, so he studied in the Actors Studio to learn method acting under famed acting coach Lee Strasberg. He signed a contract with Warner Brothers soon after. He became a household name as the Cain-like brother, Caleb Trask in the period drama East of Eden (1955), based on John Steinbeck's novel of the same name. For this role, he became the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Sadly, his last two films: the coming-of-age melodrama film Rebel Without a Cause, where he played his most famous role, Jim Stark, a disillusioned teenager, and the epic drama Giant, where he played a poor ranch hand who became a rich oil tycoon, were released posthumously due to his untimely demise. For the latter, he earned a second Oscar nomination, making him the only actor to receive two posthumous acting nominations. He also earned two posthumous BAFTA nominations and two honorary Golden Globe Awards. Despite a career that lasted only five years, he has become one of the most influential figures in Hollywood in the 1950s, and the world was left to wonder what more he could have achieved.

He was killed in a car accident at the age of 24 near Cholame, California on September 30, 1955, leaving him a lasting symbol of rebellion, youthful defiance, and the restless spirit. In 1999, he was honored by the American Film Institute, being ranked as the 18th greatest male film star from Golden Age Hollywood on their "AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars" list, and Time magazine recognized Dean as one of the "All-Time Most Influential Fashion Icons" in 2012.

Alas… They were made for contrapuntal poetry… 😔

AO3 version here and alt text below!

Cal:

Come back!

I did not mean

to hurt you —

Well perhaps

I did,

but

only

for

that split

second.

Always

I put up a fight,

nurture

empty words;

which lie do you prefer?

You have no idea

how hard it was —

how much I love you.

I didn’t mean it!

I take it all back!

Come home,

brother!

Aron:

To the beginning,

to scrub you off my nails —

that’s where I’m headed.

My best —

it was never enough,

a joke,

a viper’s nest

as the punchline!

To the imperious call

I surrender,

nature

birthing sin.

How to live

when Heaven spat you out?

You read me all wrong,

every single one of you —

man, sinner, worshipper!

???
