Almost every aspect of Deleuze's philosophy is caught up with the consequences of this initial correlation of being, creativity and thought. Roughly speaking, it implies: (a) that all existent things or processes exist in just one way, as so many distinct acts of creation or so many individual creatings; (b) that these creatings are themselves aspects of a limitless and consequently singular creative power, a power that is most adequately expressed in the medium of pure thought; (c) that every creating gives rise to a derivative creature or created thing, whose own power or creativity is limited by its material organisation, its situation, its actual capacities and relations with other creatures, and so on; (d) that the main task facing any such creature is to loosen and then dissolve these limitations in order to become a more adequate or immaterial vehicle for that virtual creating which alone individuates it. In other words, the main task facing a creature capable of thought is to learn how to think. In the process, our task is nothing less than to develop mechanisms 'that liberate man from the plane or level that is proper to him, in order to make him a creator, adequate to the whole movement of creation' (B, Ill). Deleuze's fundamental idea, in short, is that if being is creativity, it can only fully become so through the tendential evacuation of all actual or creaturely mediation

I can’t fucking believe that instead of either one of them being homophobic, Rob James-Collier and Charlie Cox apparently spent the pilot of Downton Abbey in an unspoken blood pact that said pilot was dog shite but they were going to force as much gay content past the untalented Tory showrunner as possible.

I was about to be like UM CAST ME and then I realized it would be Rob James-Collier circa Downton Series 1.

So between period aesthetics, hair like ink, skin like new sketch paper Vibes RJC is perfect and I stand by my initial assessment; however Thomas’ posture is too rigid and RJC as himself is too fluid, and in both cases the eyes are too sly. Your eyes are very wide, expressive, and careful. Your kinesthetic energy is also very careful, but unlike Thomas’ you’re not clamping anything down, you’re just making sure the floor boards don’t creak. I kept thinking of period actors (Ben Whishaw) because you’re very literary, like dudes who could be vampires, but their eyes tended to be Wrong. Alec Lightwood circa Shadowhunters is the same vibe Eye wise and movement wise, but the movement is a taaaaaad to consciously restrained. Then, out of FUCKING NOWHERE, I realized the perfect vibe match if I wanted to portray you on film is actually??? Adam Brody??? Go figure, and congrats on a vibe that’s very unique! Edit: FUCK! Danny Pudi would be perfect, too! I think the issue here is that period drama white gay men are often very Languid or Rigid because of white British entitlement/being rich as fuck their whole lives, so the energy is more resentful than yours is. Jim Stirguss circa Across the Universe’s eyes are perfect, although I don’t think he’s dandyish enough or careful enough. More gentle boys with eye pools that are warm, not cool, media. Lots of dandy’s have eyes like mint and refreshing streams.Your eyes, Alan, are a warm bath in winter.

Yeah can it literally just be Jude Law vs Jude Law

THIS IS A MOVIE I WOULD WATCH, although I would definitely say something like “can’t at least ONE Jude Law be a gay actor?” before I stood in line at midnight
