Hello from Blighty thoughts about Saltburn

As a continuation from my reply to @armands-eyefuckery because BRAIN

Aight gang let's have a lil sit down because there is a big ol angle to the film that I think is getting missed by a lot of folks who aren't from the UK because it's a very uh...

British Thing.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT OLIVER IS FROM THE NORTH.

Cut because Length.

Now look. I am not going to go into Thatcher and Her Crimes, but it's worth a google. I do bring it up in You're Almost Home because...

Lots of people are saying Oliver is upper middle class, and honestly? That doesn't track for me. At all. Yes, his parents have a detached house in a nice suburb and they went on holidays, but there's a lot of Very British Context to them that I really want to point out. Also remember, it's 2006/2007. That is also important.

First of all- Oliver's parents probably never went to University.

Really listen to them. How gullible they are- they believe that Oliver can study at Oxford, and be on the rowing team, and be in plays, and be top scholar. He's always been so clever. If Oliver was anything near upper middle class, his parents would be educated professionals. Oliver probably has dockworkers not even three generations back- his dad has management vibes, but he probably worked his way up in the 70s when all you needed was a good attitude and not to be an obvious murderer.

Secondly- let's talk about the house.

As someone from Down South who has also lived Up North, Oliver's Parent's house would not have been as expensive as people think. Let's assume they bought it in the 1980s- we ALL know that house prices are through the roof NOW, but even today there is a huge gap between house prices in the south and the north. 200k down South might get you a one bedroom flat, if you're lucky. 200k in Prescot can get you a 4-bed, semi-detached HOUSE. Check rightmove.

It is also important that the house is relatively new-looking, because over here Upper Middle Class people aren't really into new build houses- if Oliver was upper middle class, he'd be living in something Victorian or Edwardian. Probably somewhere with a good link to London, especially in 2007. It also means that Oliver's parents may not have even bought it outright- my parents got on the housing ladder via a shared ownership scheme. Oliver's parents aren't rich.

Now, the holidays. Mykonos. Another fun Brit thing is the package holiday. Here's a pretty interesting article about them;

Two adults and three kids could absolutely have gone to Mykonos every year in the late 80s/90s for far less than you'd expect, especially if they paid in installments each month.

I also mentioned about Ollie being from Merseyside specifically, but again. CONTEXT. Although Oliver isn't Liverpudlian (it's important, he's from NEAR Liverpool but not Liverpool itself) the North of England as a whole has routinely been fucked over by those in power. The government AND the royals and the very wealthy. It's still ongoing today- again, another fun source.

Remember when Mr Eats-Crunchies-Sideways called him a Bootlicker? That's fucking IMPORTANT. To many folks he IS a bootlicker. He is highly unlikely to have been raised to grovel at the feet of those with hereditary titles and wealth, and honestly he doesn't. I've written before about how Oliver Denies Felix Things and how that dynamic is important. Oliver likely hasn't been raised with any real deference to The Rich (except Princess Diana).

It also effects Oliver's response to Felix, because goddamn it THATCHER again- it is HIGHLY likely that Oliver has lived through a lot of homophobia. Internalised a lot of it. Felix's parents do not give a shit, but that was not the norm. Again, tried to hit on it in YAH, because times have changed since the 90s/2000s and people change with them, but no fuckin wonder Oliver never responded to Felix chirpsing him like a maniac. He's fucking REPRESSED when he's in Oxford, pals. It also makes sense with that weird Tumblr Dom shit he pulls; he's still fuckin weird about it, he's just being In Charge so he doesn't need to be vulnerable in any way. He is only vulnerable for Felix, and even then he can't SHOW felix that, that would be gay.

Leiflitter over'n'out

How do you make interesting male character designs, male fashion is so fucking boring and bad, and you seem to have a good sense of fashion, please help im suffering

two important tools you must remember:

1) there is no such thing as 'mens clothing' and 'women's clothing' theres just clothing and if you see something a lady is wearing and it looks good you dont have to say 'aww but a guy can't where that' yuuuup buddy you can. draw whatever and wear whatever you want forever. my wardrobe is completely mixed in terms of 'men's' and 'women's' clothing bc it's just MY clothing not anyone else's

2) pinterest

almost went on this entire rant about 'women's fashion is more expansive in part due to misogynistic double standards of appearance and men's fashion is only bad/boring because of years of being funneled through capitalism patriachal expectations of power homo/transphobia and racism' but if i do that people will start throwing rocks at me with the intention to kill and if i write multiple paragraphs of reflection on the false gender divide within fashion and the patriarchy and someone only reads 2 sentences to get mad at ill start blowing things up gotham city style

anyway these are the secrets to good mens fashion there is no brand that will save you there is no purchase that will save you utilmately you must study what you like blind to gender and then mix and match what you believe looks good. because i cannot just tell anyone 'this is fashionable' it is about going and finding what you specifically feel reflects yourself (or a character in this instance)

#long post #o yah also like look at what men in other countries wear #diff cultural expectations of masculinity have lent themselves to diff developments of style #mailbox

The rest of the Crows: can't even imagine the complex machinations of Kaz's diabolical mind. He must have the ultimate control over his thought process and emotions. What can the inside of a mind like that even look like? We will never quite understand his motivations or his worldview.

The complex machinations of Kaz's diabolical mind:

#and inej ofc but ngl his crooked kingdom POVs had a girl worried. too many dog metaphors for a stable mind #everyone else: kaz are you thinking about the plan #kaz being dragged kicking and screaming into Brain Hell by his mind zombies through his mental labyrinth of horrors: yah #six of crows #kaz brekker #crooked kingdom #grishaverse #my post

Have some more Saltburn Thoughts from someone who was y'know

Sentient in the UK in 2006/2007

Because it's honestly pretty important in a lot of the Stuff About It.

So I was 13/14, so obvs a little younger but!

Section 28 had been repealed 3 years before, which effectively meant schools couldn't teach about anything other than heterosexual relationships- and was still found to be impacting sex ed in 2016. Farleigh being an absolute pansexual menace is honestly fucking iconic.

This also goes into why Felix and Ollie didn't just fuck- when I was in secondary school and college, there were maybe one or two "out" lgbtqi+ folks, and even then... if you weren't popular, you would absolutely be a target for horrendous bullying. Felix's family may have been cool, but Oliver would have just come from a world where Gay was a go-to insult.

Yes, everyone dressed Like That. Y2k fashion nowadays has taken the good parts, but the peak of girl fashion was wearing jeans under miniskirts and about 3 layered t-shirts. LOW RISE JEANS. Absolutely awful.

You couldn't go anywhere without hearing The Black Parade, which tbh probably explains a lot given that I was at a very malleable stage in development.

Posh people are absolutely from another planet. I did a course thingy with my school's science club at the University of Strathclyde and the one posh kid there was absolutely astounded by, say, us not knowing how to ski. He was a cool dude, though.

EVERYBODY cool at my school smoked. I'm talking 13 year olds. It was A Thing and it Was Cool. I was not cool, so I escaped.

No Lilith is not "Evil" or a "Bad Mom"

I said what I said. We don't know what happened to Lilith, we don't know why she and Lucifer split, and if you saw the pilot, you would know Charlie choose to confide in HER about her worries and fustrations. That is a clear sign that as the queen of hell, the woman whose songs brought hope to the demons in hell, had more confidence in her daughter than Lucifer was afraid to have. I saw a post that said "also how bad of a fucking mother does lilith have to be to ignore her daughter for 7 years jfc". As if that is the only reason Charlie hadn't heard from her? Not even a possibility something bad might have happened or had really very important business to deal with as the queen of hell?? And it's even more bizzare how people just assumed that flashback was her "keeping Charlie away from Lucifer". Like hello, it's called putting your child to sleep? And also

Does this really look like a vile woman to you. Did you really see this portraits and went "Oh yeah she hates her husband," NO THAT IS FUCKING IN LOVE WITH HER HUSBAND! SHE IS HAPPY WITH HER CHILD, SHE IS PROUD OF HER FAMILY AND KINGDOM, SHE WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO BE WITH THE MAN WHO SHOWED HER MORE LOVE AND COMPASSION THAN BITCH ASS ADAM, AND STUCK WITH HER FOR MILLENIUM AFTER BEING CASTED OUT OF HEAVEN. EVEN WRAPPING HER ARMS AROUND HIM AND CHARLIE

Fautisse, the person whose been at the birth of Hazbin Hotel, even believes Lilith adored her husband just the same as he to her. But shit happens, and something caused her to leave. For reasons WE DON'T KNOW WHY! But unfortunately for her as a female character, the fans and even anti fans have reduced her to another "Stella". Despite the fact Charlie confides in her, and despite Lucifer having pictures with her in his office and still has his wedding ring on. There is a definite reason Lucifer acts this depressed, otherwise he would be acting like Stolas, someone who actually hates his wife.

#Also Lilith is like.. super gorgeous #Yah I'm gay simp so what #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers #Hazbin hotel rant #long post sorry #Helluva Boss #lucifer morningstar #lilith morningstar #charlie morningstar

listen, I do not condone historical misinformation, but there is nothing I get delight out of more than this absolutely batshit article from a religious website that unironically lists Flint as a mythological god of pirates

#they dont get it but they do get it. get it?#this article is written with the same completely nonsensical cadence as that 'some sort of mansquito' post #we're talking like. Philomena Cunk levels of misunderstanding and misinterpretation #it appears to be a website about judaism? but the url name comes from a branch of hinduism. so...? not sure what angle this is coming from #EDIT: yah this whole site is definitely AI generated #and why is FLINT the only name that's bolded?? i didnt do that. he's never even mentioned again

it really is so cute that george harrison eventually got to be in a band with bob dylan. he was really like "some day we're going to be boy best friends <3 <3 <3". and then they were

#what ever happened to that flood of dylarrison posting from a few months ago #is it because we gave up trying to turn bob nonbinary #george harrison #bob dylan #the traveling wilburys #the multiple times george mentions bob in get back is very funny to me. any opportunity #especially when he says he tried to get him to join the beatles. yah i don't think that was going to happen george :/
