"...the interaction between an anonymous individual and his car, the transits of his body across the polished cellulose panels and vinyl seating, his face silhouetted against the instrument dials.
"Caring for him, I wanted to stroke his scarred thighs and abdomen, offering him the automobile injuries carried by my own body in place of those imaginary wounds he wished upon the actress." -J.G. Ballard, Crash
JAMES SPADER as James Ballard

“For Vaughan, events have no meaning and do not even seem to be phenomenologically present until they are captured and mediated by some means of mechanical reproduction. The image is at the hands of the text's characters thus the subject of both fetishisation and exorbitation: nothing is more real than the image, and without the image there is no longer any real.”
Andrzej Gasiorek on J.G. Ballard and Crash.

“For several minutes I gazed at this wrecked car, reassembling its identity. Terrifying events rolled through my mind on its flattened wheels. What most surprised me was the extent of the damage. During the accident the hood had climbed over the engine compartment, hiding from me the real extent of the collision. Both front wheels and the engine had been driven back into the driver’s section, bowing the floor. Blood still marked the bonnet, streamers of black lace running towards the windshield wiper gutters. Minute flecks were spattered across the seat and steering wheel. I thought of the dead man lying on the hood of the car. The blood rolling across the bruised cellulose was a more potent fluid than the semen cooling in his testicles.”
- Crash, J.G. Ballard

Crash, J.G. Ballard
#crash#jg ballard#have been searching all over this stupid website for this quote and couldn’t find it#this paragraph has done a lot of heavy lifting for me getting over my emetophobia tbh#something about it is so….romantic? endearing?#ballard is very good and describing the most heinous things so beautifully#if you are a sicko like me that is

you know what? fuck you. *untwinkifies your James Ballard*
I posted a drawing a while back of the way I imagine these two in the book, but I have since sold my soul to the devil in exchange for better art skills so I present to you a better version
left is Vaughan, right is James
I made these two in tomodachi life as well for the sake of making them get together but James ended up looking like the fucking mayor (?) from miraculous lady bug and I can’t look him in the eyes anymore
