gay subtext? in MY priest???

on one hand i understand the fujo fatigue when interacting with media and i've felt it myself on the other hand if you put a gay man played by daniel craig in a church and give him a full-body reaction to being there the question of gay sex begins haunting the entire movie and the less you address it the bigger the elephant in the room becomes. and if josh o'connor is there? as both his watson and his ideological opposite? playing a priest that's deeply afraid of his own urges? come on. not everything in wake up dead man is about gay sex but a lot more of it is than anyone seems willing to admit

#god the way they’re looking at each other in the first gif #like fucking post-nut clarity #jud realizing he did something he ‘shouldn’t have’ #blanc realizing jud regrets what he’s done #i’ve been up for like 38 hours at this point so i’m a bit delirious but i’m also Right #like jud looks at the broken figurine of jesus and then at blanc and then we see blanc looking at jud and ugh #i bet blanc has seen the expression jud is wearing before #in his younger days #i mean he was raised religious in the south and is very very queer #no way he wasn’t someone’s shameful secret as a youth #this scene is so tasty i’m swirling it around in my mouth like a vintage wine #getting some hints of internalized homophobia and overtones of religious trauma @scryforstars

i can "it's not that deep" myself out of most things but with judblanc it's impossible like oh sorry was it casual when they kept equating trusting each other to believing in god. was it casual when blanc was the answer to jud's prayers. was it casual when jud's grace made lifelong scales fall from blanc's eyes. was it casual when they (re)defined the concept of a miracle for each other. was it casual when blanc believed in jud's innocence even when jud didn't. was it casual when jud said "god loves me when i'm guilty" and then blanc taught himself how to do that too. was it casual when jud zeroed in on blanc's mommy issues 30 seconds into knowing him. was it casual when jud lashed out in fear because the thrill of blanc's game distracted him from his duties. was it casual when blanc let a man die just to stop jud from turning himself in. was it casual when one conversation with blanc made jud cry because he suddenly felt closer to his purpose again. was it casual when blanc tore into jud's stories by the fireplace demanding honesty and jud was for once speechless. was it casual when they sat on jud's tiny bed together. was it casual when jud said "what do i do" and blanc said "what you were born to do. be her priest" and jud, terrified, got on his knees and tried to save a guilty woman's soul under blanc's guidance. was it casual when they hid an eighty million dollar jewel together for a year, lying to the law's face and then snickering about it. was it casual at the end when "neither knew what to say" so instead they embraced. i could go on.

imagine you have a movie with oscar isaac and john boyega and people fixate on adam driver instead. this actually happened

Unoriginal sin. Derivative sin
