WHO LET THE LIONESS SANG,COPIA DID ‼️‼️‼️

reblog to have good concert luck

Nothing makes me more at peace than getting used to an instrument, especially one that's perfect for you in every way.

When you finally catch on to something that feels perfect, that you were always meant to do one way or another, an extension of you. I wasn't able to experience that until a month ago.

So much has happened, and now with oncoming PMDD I will definitely feel worse, but now I actually feel at peace for once. That everything's going right.

Music is a wonderful thing.

I love this comment with all that I am

having a movie night with copia and telling him to sit on the floor in front of the couch in his cornette hat as you make popcorn in the other room. then bringing it in and sitting behind him, pouring the popcorn into the hat, much to his annoyance. he grumbles about how his hat is an unholy accessory that is meant to be respected. about a quarter of the way into the movie he just huffs dramatically and reaches up to pop some into his mouth.

@minusninelives @rrrrrats ask and you shall receive (also i just needed an excuse to edit this, which was so much fun, so thank you for giving me these prompts)

You had an idea at 3am?

Write it down.

Not sure if you'll like it in the morning when you get up?

Write it down anyway.

Even if you wake up being like 'what is this nonsense,' there is a possibility that rereading your idea may spark another awesome idea.

Don't lose amazing future WIPs because you thought the idea wasn't good enough to write down.

Hell, you may come back 6 months down the line and realize that the idea would be really cool if you tweaked this detail and took that one out.

Never underestimate the power of a 3am writing idea.

Sex in Saltburn

You know how this is a movie about men, filmed by a woman?

Well, this movie is somehow shamed for its sexual scenes and is seen as being provocative for the sake of it, but this is a very biased take.

1)Men are not judged for using bodies however they want in their movies. Fennell doesn't even do that. The majority of the scenes that have shocked so many are close ups to faces. The unhinged aspects of them -licking whatever Felix left in the bathtub, the vampire scene, the grave scene, the MotDF scene- are not hollow.

The bathtub scene shows the intensity of Oliver's desire and how it's consumated only through the house. The Vampire scene adds to Oliver's character: It demonstrates his ability to pick up information, to shift according to them and to be a perfect acolyte, giving people what he thinks they want.

The Grave scene and the Murder on the Dance Floor scene are the only two with ACTUAL nudity. In them, nudity is not about sex in itself. The Grave scene is about grief, raw and twisted and powerful. It evokes the scene of Heathcliff disturbing Cathy's grave to ensure that their souls will be reunited. But in Saltburn love is something very sexual/physical. Here too, just like in the bathtub scene, Oliver consumates with Saltburn itself what he'll never consumate with Felix. There is a fulfillment by touching and feeling the material as an extension of the person he desires, and it's to the estate that he displaces his obsession upon when Felix is gone.

Then, the dance is about triumph and confidence, about a post-coital joy through having exacted one's hatred upon its objects and through material possession as a substitute for the losses. But Oliver does not have EVERYTHING he wanted. He wanted people, he wanted Felix. He's a king but he has disposed of the subjects. It's all beautifully fulfilling and obviously hollow at the same time.

2) Oliver being good at sex is essential. The movie touches upon that when Farleigh says that Richard III would be good at sex because he's insecure and he'd put in all the work. Men like to think themselves as sex gods. This movie is different. Oliver is good at sex because he's an acolyte. He puts in the work and has learned to notice what people like and to give it to them, which is something he channels with his partners. On the other hand, acoording to Fennell, Felix was not good at sex or kissing because he never had to be. People fall at his feet and his privilege allows him to just have his fun and be sloppy. This idea that you have to be attentive, listen, notice and be interested in giving pleasure to be good at sex is not reserved for women, but it's certainly representative of their lense.

Fennell's female gaze is a good thing and more directors should be trying it. I hate how these scenes are used to reduce the movie when they only add to its appeal.

going out to an oddities ball in ghoul cosplay on saturday. i am so incredibly jazzed about it because i know my confidence is going to spike so high on that day

thinking about the grucifix designs on mountain's platform/the stairs. ghost's set and costuming are so important to me.
