The Field at sunset

Trawa.

I was thinking about names again today and remembered how when I was a kid my mums showed me the piece of paper on which they wrote baby name ideas before I was born, and I discovered that if I had been a boy they would have named me Corentin. A pretty average name in France, but they added “we would have nicknamed you Tintin!” which made me feel like I’d dodged a bullet. Their top girl name was Éléonore but they changed it at the last minute. They said “we hesitated, because we liked the nickname Léo for a girl” and I was so mad at them for changing their minds. I felt like I would have been so cool and popular as a Léo, like it would have changed my entire personality. For weeks afterwards, when I felt shy or awkward I wondered What would Léo do? and tried to act more confidently. Or I’d think, no way a girl named Léo would have acted so dumb. I grew to hate Léo. It was hard living in her perfect shadow and the solution child-me came up with to feel better about myself was to add my Discarded Boy Name-persona on my other shoulder. It worked. For a while I went through life caring a lot less if I messed up because what would Tintin do? something much stupider, no doubt

I recently started using my second name in my mind, out of nothing… or maybe not so out of nothing?

Trying to kill each other is a reason to START shipping characters

thoughts on doctor who?

Is that another Tumblr imaginary movie?

jv

No, that's Dr. Gorv. Dr. Who is a movie about the russian Bolshevik revolution starring Julie Christie and Omar Sharif

lucyaudley

No, you’re thinking of Doctor Zhivago. Dr Who is a satirical comedy movie about the Cold War and nuclear destruction.

fuckyeahkatnep

That's actually Doctor Strangelove. Doctor Who wrote a bunch of children's books to help kids learn to read.

neil-gaiman

No, that's almost definitely Doctor Seuss. Doctor Who was a song by the Thompson Twins.

dragoninhumanskin

No, that’s “Doctor! Doctor!”, Doctor Who is a movie about a vet that can speak to animals.

objectlessondujour

Probably Doctor Dolittle. Doctor Who is about a woman who fought misogyny to graduate medical school and moved to a western American frontier town to help whoever she could and also find love.

hobbitguy1420

That's Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman. Dr. Who was a writer back in the 80s and 90s that talked a lot about raising children, right?

lizimajig

I'm pretty sure that's Doctor Spock. You're thinking of Benedict Cumberbatch's character in the MCU.

thiddleston

No no, that's Doctor Strange. Dr. Who is the best friend and sidekick of Sherlock Holmes (also played by Benedict Cumbersome in the bbc adaption)

That’s my tumblr!

I think what I love most about current day tumblr and it’s obsession with things like Dracula daily and Goncharov is that it’s a reminder that the internet and social media can be fun. It’s not all algorithms and selling things to you based on data the company got from tracking all your movements. Sometimes it’s about coming together to have fun over something completely superfluous and stupid but ultimately meaningful because we gave it meaning.

Ok but do you think we could successfully gaslight Scorsese into thinking he directed this film and just forgot about it. Like present him with a lifetime achievement award and just throw it in there when they’re listing all the films he’s made and see if he notices

Katya & Sofia - Goncharov (1973) Dir. Martin Scorsese

neosatsuma

sorry I can't hang out today, I'm partaking in a vivid mass hallucination of a 1973 mafia thriller by martin scorsese. Yeah it's gonna be all day

Goncharov Lore Thus Far, based on the top tumblr post results

Main cast are Goncharov himself, his wife Katya (née Michailov), and Andrey

One side character is named Mario Ambrosini. He is described as a “sad boi” and is involved in gambling.

Set in Naples and involving a drug ring/mafia. The plot seems to involve Russian organized crime attempting to get a foothold in Italy.

There is a Boat Scene. Katya survives via resourcefulness.

Andrey and Goncharov have a substantial amount of homoeroticism. Andrey also has an internet in Katya. This forms a true love triangle.

At some point, Katya threatens to shoot Goncharov. This is framed as a Girlboss Moment.

There is also a Beer Bottle Scene.

Katya fakes her death.

heavy clock symbolism. A pivotal scene occurs at a clock tower, there is a grandfather clock in the background of some sets, etc

A supporting female character named Sofia makes an appearance, wearing a cocktail dress. Katya protects her at some point. They’re both in the Boat Scene. At one point they buy fruit together in a marketplace. This is lesbian shipping fuel.

The villain, likely Mario, has a sidekick named Icepick Joe. Joe commits a final act of heroism before being left for dead— after being killed by an Icepick. Perhaps he turned against Mario and was killed in retaliation?

Goncharov, played by DeNiro, has a very distinctive manner of walking.

Katya’s brother, Valery, makes an appearance.

moreofahorse-deactivated2024121

from posts I’ve witnessed (only mentioning things I’ve seen >5 blogs post about) - there is an Anchovies scene, and fish symbolism also plays a heavy role. at some point Katya is seen near a fish bowl full of goldfish, and this is important to the Boat Scene as well. - Goncharov and Andrey have homoerotic tension, and this is used to further statements about the cycle of repression and violence

gingerhastoomanyobsessions

The story involves Goncharov losing himself in a downward spiral. It is a tragedy of unbecoming.

There’s a Bridge Scene. This is the one with the clocktower chiming in the background.

There’s a scene involving a tank of anchovies.

Icepick Joe has a traumatic backstory

Katya betrays Goncharov AND Sofia. She’s well-intentioned, but it all comes crashing down, ending in her losing them both— losing Sofia emotionally and inadvertently causing Goncharov’s death

There’s a shootout in Pompeii in which Mario destroys historically significant architecture. This is representative of the destructive nature of nationalism.
