Padraic And James From Lieutenant Of Inishmore Be Like

POSITIVITY FOR: girls who threaten to kill you in arguments, girls who get angry with such intensity they start crying, girls who scream in pillows, girls who randomly leave social events when agitated

growing up being told you’re mature for your age because you are kind and curious by nature and then being left behind constantly and having your needs neglected because of this assumption of maturity and issues within the family and growing up just with this idea that you are beyond the need for nurturing and attention from adults and you don’t need care because in your mind it’s useless and then having this soul crushing guilt and sense of inadequacy when you inevitably crave this seemingly meaningless care that you really truly need

Do you really need a boyfriend if you can have a cool-ADHD-bi-chaotic brother with golden retriever vibes?

Me neither

McGregor says that every time he crossed paths with Boyle during their decade apart, it was like “meeting an old lover or something. Ultimately, it was nice to see him, always.”

It was McGregor who first offered an olive branch in 2009, when Danny Boyle was having the best year of his career thanks to the juggernaut that was Slumdog Millionaire. “Someone asked him to present an award to me,” Boyle tells Norton, “and he did it, and made this amazing speech. And I was in tears backstage.” As part of that speech, McGregor gave a nod to their long separation: “He pushes you to find more depth and truth. I felt safe in his hands. I’m in awe of your bravery. Making a movie about junkies in Edinburgh was not an easy choice… I love you and miss you.”

“I am almost never serious, and I'm always too serious. Too deep, too shalow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I'm like a collection of paradoxes.”

I know everyone loves the Corinthian because he’s creepy/sucks/fucks etc but I’m into this character because he’s a poster boy for conditional acceptance.

He’s created to fulfill one purpose. If he doesn’t contort himself into the correct behaviour, he’s scrapped to be remade and remade until he acts as intended.

Morpheus doesn’t seem to have a personal relationship with him like he does with other Dreaming characters. When he kills the Corinthian, Morpheus’ “I made you poorly” speech dismisses that the nightmare is an individual in control of his actions.

Lucienne visibly dislikes him but is quick to forgive Fiddler who also defected. It’s like the Corinthian is treated more like a project or a weapon than an entity of the Dreaming.

I don’t think his ability to attract people affords him any lasting power either. People crave him, his body or his success but it’s a self-interested infatuation. People don’t love him for his personality because he doesn’t have one; it’s polite and forgettable and adapted to attract whoever he’s targeting. He fills the spaces in between people’s real relationships and while maybe it’s fun, ultimately he’s forgotten.

And can we talk about the second Corinthian being obsessed with learning about his previous iterations? That’s fucked up and dystopian.

He’s a really tragic character. Also a horrible violent maniac.

if two men have sex with each other, is that feminist because no women are being sexualized, or anti-feminist because it doesn't pass the bechdel test
