Plan D to I

Finding a cool looking mdzs blog but trying to make sure they’re not a jiang cheng stan before I follow

When yet another person films themselves talking about/having a super dramatic shocked reaction to Saltburn for clout :

Help …

Funniest part of Saltburn is (arguably) how Farleigh did his whole trash talking speech about how that’s his house & Oliver doesn’t belong there bc he’s so socially beneath them, while Oliver just silently out-cunted him w his baby girl look, got him permanently cut off & kicked out the next morning, & lit owned the whole thing in the end 😭✌️🕺

I can’t stop thinking of this interview w Archie Madekwe re Farleigh from collider, bc whilst I think it’s important for an actor to never reduce the character they’re playing w a judgement call like : villain, bully etc. so as not to choke their interpretation, my guy is lit describing a bully 😭😆. He’s like ~ it’s a passing sarcastic comment about the jacket, he doesn’t even remember Oliver. He’s just making fun of him. ~ Yes hon, bullies rarely give af about the ppl they’re tearing down 😭. That’s a bully cutting others to raise themselves up 😆🫡. Anyway

The way stans talk about the characters they “relate to” should come w a trigger warning; trauma dumping half their life to “discuss the character”. “It’s me” “He’s so real” “He’s so relatable”. Plz embrace your basic self in silence & stop projecting and projectile vomiting your life over every discussion of every piece of media 😭. & ofc any criticism of said character or just someone not vibing w them is a direct & personal attack

Lmao it’s so funny to see all the “farleigh ate!” “Farleigh saw right through Oliver tHat’s why he was mean” “farleigh had to work so hard to keep the family interested in him 🥺” “He’s the most hUman” always keeping place for ~I see my lame petty little self in him the most~ 😗 - stan big brains at work. Like babes farleigh was bullying Oliver from the second he saw him dissing his clothes & tittering w his followers (and sniping Pamela at dinner ) bc it was his way of illustrating he was ~in~ & they were ~out~, & clutching to his privilege. He was related to the family tho so he wasn’t a passing summer guest. He was raised w their kids & welcomed back even after trying to sell their shit.

saltburn IS based on a book called brideshead revisited by evelyn waugh. they mention it near the beginning of the movie during a conversation between felix and oliver. theres a few other references to the book like felix pointing out his father’s old teddy bear and them lying naked in the field and on the roof

When people keep going on about how shocking or disturbing they found Saltburn but I’ve been a Hannibal fan for years & finally feel alive again:
