I have never been this disappointed with Tumblr than with #Saltburn.
This film is made for Tumblr ironically I expected full of weirdest headcanon, queer fic, queenification of Venetia (she's the 2010 Tumblr). Over analysis about Oliver Farleigh Elspeth bi sexualty.
But it brings together fandoms that are definitely too different and the vibe is weird. It's all about Jacob Elordi, people shocked by bathtub/grave scene and fanfics x/reader. Few people are fancying Venetia Elspeth and Farleigh the way they should. No one to headcanon a part 2 or joking about the absolute horror movie Saltburn is if it was Farleigh's story.
I'm confused that's not my Tumblr.
write bad fanfic. write mediocre fanfic. write fanfic that a thousand people before you have already written. write niche fanfic. write fanfic that only a few people will read or understand. write fanfic just for you. write fanfic just for a friend. write ocs. write self-inserts. the fact that you’re taking the time and energy to put your ideas into the world is amazing and people who shame you for it need to find better ways to spend their time.
What people don’t understand is that the reason we hate RBR/Max’s dominance so much compared to other eras is that everything just feels so clinical and passionless and empty.
The current world champion doesn’t feel a single thing as he wins race after race and it’s so fucking frustrating because if he doesn’t care then why should we?
Schumacher lived and breathed this sport, Vettel would have married his car if it was legal, Hamilton felt every win like it was his first. And now the only emotion this fucking guy has is indifference, to the point where I honestly believe he’d rather be playing a video game than actually racing and it’s just depressing.
OK, so I understand better what takes me out of the film. Alex's actor (Taylor Pérez) is unsympathetic (is it the role?) and it seems like he doesn't play... His gaze expresses the same emotion throughout the movie.
I'm trying to understand the hate Farleigh receives and why we are in fact pushed to hate him in the movie ?
Farleigh Start :
Served cunt
Spoke frankly, Was right.
Fucked the devil.
Survived.
He's there to remind that what we see is manipulation. His interventions show that every conversation is hypocritical. Knowing all of it he eventually broke down too. There is not a single ounce of true love in this story.
I admit it's disturbing if we absolutely wanted to see Oliver and Felix "they'll fix each other" blah blah blah.
Im a little confused about saltburn tho cuz everyone keeps saying Oliver is gay and had feelings for Felix but i really dont think he did. Like he blatantly admits to hating him and he’s clearly down to do depraved shit with people he has no feelings for (venetia, farleigh) and they literally show how he planned all this shit out and he got his end goal and i truly dont think Felix was anything other than the key piece of his little plan. Am i supposed to believe this little mastermind twink genuinely loved this man??? All signs point to absolutely not
