THEO JAMES as CAMERON SULLIVAN THE WHITE LOTUS: Season Two, Episode One: Ciao

White Lotus has an interesting set of threads going on examining different strains of masculinity, and it’s neat how they’re using a bunch of characters to do it

Albie is a young kid who’s been raised in a household by an absent sex addict and comes from a line of different flavors of misogynists, but he also grew up in a world that is trying to educate him on how not to do that. He clearly makes an effort to Not Be An Asshole, but he only seems to manage to look good in comparison to his father/grandfather. His interactions with women can come across as dweebishly awkward but he gives off a MASSIVE vibe of only needing one visit to r/incel or whatever it’s called these days and he’s a full on shithead. He’s trying, he’s listening, he’s stumbling awkwardly while walking a dangerous tightrope.

Meanwhile, Dominic is a classic mid-life crisis distant rich dad sex addict. He has no earthly idea why he’s even at this resort other than some vague sense of trying to fix a relationship, yet he clearly has no idea what he did wrong. He *wants* to be different, so badly, but he can’t control his impulses and unfortunately by hiring Mia and Lucia set himself up for failure. He’s trying, he’s not listening, he’s already lost before leaving the start line.

Bert is just too old to give a fuck. He knows he’s a relic, he knows everyone hates his womanizing ways, and he just. Does. Not. Care. He’s not trying, he’s not listening, he’s thriving and having a fuckin BLAST.

Cameron is the modern bro. He’s internalized all of the stupid bullshit that Albie’s in danger of falling into (and so has his wife, honestly) and yet he’s also massively insecure. He’s just got a shitload of money and a wife who indulges him, so he doesn’t generally have to confront the emptiness inside of him. He’s not trying, he’s not listening, he *wants* you to think he’s thriving but secretly isn’t.

Ethan is the hardest one to parse. Out of everyone there, he’s the least shitty, but that’s not saying a whole lot. He at least comes by his love for his wife honestly, but his wife seems like a difficult person to love. Cameron has tempted him with the idea of being able to indulge his baser instincts, and he’s clearly conflicted between living up to the decent standards he seems to have held so far, or to succumb to the devil on his shoulder. That said, he is also somehow completely oblivious to his wife being upset with him, over and over again. I’m not sure he’s doing it on purpose, he’s just very bad at picking up what she’s dropping and that’s leading him down a dark road. He’s trying, he’s extremely bad at listening, and it’s eating him up inside and I’m worried he’s gonna just snap.

This shot tells you everything you need to know about these characters.

THEO JAMES as CAMERON SULLIVAN THE WHITE LOTUS: Season Two, Episode Two: Italian Dream

Ok there isn’t any the white lotus x reader here and on Ao3. Where is it? I need it, is not a want is a need. Like did you saw Dillon, Armond, Paula, Ethan Portia, etc. Like I’m freaking in love with all of them.

if the season 2 white lotus crowd (specifically daphne and ethan) watched the talented mr ripley i think their heads would explode like think about it, we place a tv in front of them, pop in the film and then we wait 2 hours and 15 minutes. they will come out changed. i assure you all this.

daphne would love marge, she would look at gwyneth paltrow and think ugh i love this girl! she literally watches cameron cheat over and over again and it makes her still as stone. if she watches dickie cheat over and over again something will shift. she really just needs a third perspective is what i'm getting at.

imagine ethan watching tom ripley befriend dickie who he'd see as cameron. imagine ethan imagining tom and dickie's months together in italy as their glorified time with cam when they went to college together and then imagine the boat scene as the fight in the ocean... DO WE SEE WHAT I'M GETTING AT!!!!!!?!

White Lotus season 2 just ended and damn - these rich people truly and honestly have the most ridiculous first world problems 😂😂

I might be the minority but honestly I hated Tanya and I'm glad she's dead. I don't want Greg to get away with it though so I'm hoping we get a resolution to that

Anyways - this season was basically a lot of infidelity and most of the men (except for my son Albie), being various forms of misogynistic dickheads and toxic masculinity personified. So we have a new video up today talking about that!

Please watch and let us know what you think in the comments/tags - btw, why do you guys think Ethan didn't want to fuck Harper anymore?

Cameron Sullivan x reader. Please? I need it
