Look at this baby feminist Saint-Just quote 🥺

Une femme ne peut s'unir à ce qu'elle aime sans se donner un maître c'est là le moindre de ses maux mais si l'on unit à ce qu'elle n'aime point ou si elle n'aime plus ce qu'elle ne doit plus aimer et si dans cet esclavage un main tendre essuie ses larmes cette femme est coupable elle est adultère, mais la loi l'est plus qu'elle de quel droit a-t-elle disposé de sa propriété?

A woman cannot be with her love without giving herself a master. This is the least of her misfortunes, but if she is with someone she does not love, or she no longer loves someone she does not have to love--if in this slavery, a tender hand wipes away her tears, this women becomes guilty. She becomes an adulteress. Yet it is the law that is more guilty than her; what right does the law have to dictate her property?

Sourced from 每日圣鞠斯特, corroborated in Un manuscrit inédit de Saint-Just: "De la Nature, de l'État civil, de la Cité, ou les Règles de l'indépendance du Gouvernement"

Connor's favourite movie might be Indecent Proposal but his secret 2nd favourite is definitely 7 Brides for 7 Brothers and I think those two facts tell you literally everything you need to know about him

#my one and only contribution to the current connor discourse #also this post is written with the deep chagrin of someone whose family loved '7 brides' waaaaaaay too much as a kid #and so now consequently has a really unfortunate nostalgic attachment to the song 'sobbin women'#why does that song have to be so fucking catchy. WHY

The Copper Queen 110k @jrojoyce

Is it possible to find love in such an inhospitable place? If you do find it, can it survive against both man and nature? Fresh from their discharge from the army, Jon Snow and his friend, Samwell Tarly, arrive in the small mining town of Copper Canyon, Arizona in hopes of building their future. Unbeknownst to Sam, Jon has picked this location for a specific personal reason. Will his choice lead them to a bright future or will their future evaporate like water in the desert? Sansa Stark had lived in Copper Canyon for over half her life. She and her sister, Arya, are all that remain of their once large family. In the old west rumor and gossip can quickly become legend. And if you believe the legends of Copper Canyon, than you know the Starks carry a curse. A curse placed on them by a man who still styles himself as their friend and protector. Will a chance meeting with the town's newest arrival be enough to break that curse?

Four Brides for One Jon 1k by @thefairfleming

It’s the flowers that do it. For the past hour, Sansa had been sitting in the stagecoach, trying to maintain some semblance of calm in the face of what appears to be an utter disaster. All four of them in this coach, four women taking a chance on a new life with a complete stranger, and it turns out they’ve all been summoned by the same stranger.

There's a feeling in your eyes (the shadows can't erase) 7k, incomplete

Following the sensational and mysterious deaths of her family, Sansa Stark marries her cousin, Jon Snow, a newly appointed Sheriff in the wild country of the Arizona Territory.

Ivory & Lace 68k by @vivilove-jonsa

Jon Snow was a loner and the townsfolk all agreed he was a dangerous man. Sansa Stark has been sent out West to marry Ramsay Bolton, a man she's never met. When Sansa and Jon meet in town, the attraction is immediate despite the obstacle of a fiancé in the way.

Leather & Lace 134k by @vivilove-jonsa

After her husband had died of consumption last year, many in town had doubted that a young woman of twenty could keep things afloat but Sansa Stark Tyrell is no ordinary young woman and she's determined to keep her ranch and to keep her newfound family together. But a ranch the size of the Golden Rose needed more than one old man, two green boys, three young women and a baby to keep it thriving. They needed at least one man in his prime. “A man in his prime for the ranch and a man in his prime in your bed,” Mya had teased when she’d spoke of hiring someone. She’d smothered a giggle and told Mya to hush up when she’d said it but something low in her belly tightened at the memory.

Deep in the Heart of a Lone Star Lady 11k

Sansa Stark finds herself running a cattle ranch in Texas in the 1800's but profits dip lower and lower each year. Just when she thinks she is on the verge of losing everything, the new ranch hand Jon Snow walks into her life and gives her so much more to live for.

An Outlaw and His Prize 1k by @framboise-fics

“Do you know what you’ve done?” she says, scathingly, her voice poised as ever even though he remembers the fear in her eyes when he burst in through the window of the room where Baelish was keeping her, even though her fingers clutch tightly to his coat where she sits sidesaddle on the horse before him.

Go West, Jon Snow 107k by @kittykatknits

The year is 1852. Jon Snow is ready to begin a new life in the Oregon Territory. To do so, he will travel via wagon train through one of the famous trails in the Old West. But, first, Jon needs to find himself a wife.

Seven Snow Brothers and Their Wives 6k WIP by @kittykatknits

Seven brothers, all backwoods mountain men, decide they need a woman's help with the cooking and other chores. Only, it turns out finding a wife isn't as easy as it seems. Soon enough, with some help from Sansa, it's time for them to go courting. And if that doesn't work, then they can always ride into town and steal their brides, like those Sobbin' Women they heard about. Maybe this way they'll be able to find the girl for them? And maybe even have a wedding or seven?

Desert Snow 10k by @tinywriter2018

Jon snow owns a ranch while Sansa helps run the family clothing store. Many rumors are going around about the mysterious rancher who mostly comes to town when he has to.

mountain man drabble by @charmtion

Season by season, the way he’d lived up till meeting her. But now he lives to drown, draws breath just so he can lose it in the depths of her eyes, the honey of her smile, the salt of her on his tongue, the sound of her some church-song in his ears.

Cathouse ficlets 1, 2, 3 by @justadram

Sansa’s only been working in Baelish’s cathouse for a week to pay off the debt she incurred from being brought out here to escape her bastard of a fiancé, when Mya comes to her and announces in that brash voice of hers that there’s a shy gentleman downstairs looking for a girl with red hair.

heyyyy!! might seem random and I don’t know if you listen to Lana Del Rey at all so feel free to ignore me, but if you do, what are some of her songs that you associate with Oscar’s characters (like Poe, Llewyn, Miguel, Rydal, the Moon boys... whatever, I’m not picky). Love your work btw!

dear anon, you are in luck, you have no idea how much.

I don't listen to lana that much, I do listen to a few songs and appreciate her work but my dear best friend @eatingyouryoung happens to have the oscar + lana brainrot cocktail

when I asked her for help to answer this ask, she happened to have already thought about this and sent me a 5 pages long document she had written about the subject, so there you go:

Llewyn:

In My Feelings

Brooklyn Baby

« Could it be that I fell for another loser

I'm crying while I'm cummin'

Making love while I'm making good money

Sobbin' in my cup of coffee

'Cause I fell for another loser

Get that cigarette smoke out of my face

You've been wasting my time

While you're taking what's mine, with the things that you're doing

Talk that talk, well now they all know your name

And there's no coming back from the place that you came

Baby don't do it

'Cause you got me in my feelings (catch you, it's so much right now)

Talking in my sleep again (you can whistle if you want) »

Rydal:

« Well, my boyfriend's in a band

He plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rare

I can play most anything

I'm a Brooklyn baby »

« They say I'm too young to love you

They say I'm too dumb to see

They judge me like a picture book

By the colors, like they forgot to read

I think we're like fire and water

I think we're like the wind and sea

You're burnin' up, I'm coolin' down

You're up, I'm down

You're blind, I see »

California

Lucky Ones

« I shouldn't have done it, but I read it in your letter

You said to a friend that you wish you were doing better

I wanted to call you, but I didn't say a thing

Oh, I'll pick you up

If you come back to America, just hit me up »

« You don't ever have to be stronger than you really are

When you're lying in my arms, and, honey

You don't ever have to act cooler than you think you should

You're brighter than the brightest stars

You're scared to win, scared to lose

I've heard the war was over if you really choose

The one in and around you

You hate the heat, you got the blues

Changing like the weather, oh, that's so like you »

Santiago:

« Boy, get into my car, got a bad desire

You know that we'll never leave if we don't get out now, now, now

You're a careless con and you're a crazy liar, but, baby

Nobody can compare to the way you get down, down, down

I tried so hard to act nice like a lady

You taught me that it was good to be crazy

Every now and then, the stars align

Boy and girl meet by the great design

Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?

Everybody told me love was blind

Then I saw your face and you blew my mind

Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time »

On Our Way

Poe:

« Why do I think too much?

You tell me not to worry

Because you're the boss

And you, you got a real good plan

My trouble's all over now

Because you're my man

You don't know what you've done to me

You're heavier than heavenly

Life on the run has set me free, me free now

We're on our way »

Love Song

Miguel:

« Dream a dream, here's a scene

Touch me anywhere 'cause I'm your baby

Grab my waist, don't waste any part

I believe that you see me for who I am

So spill my clothes on the floor of your new car

Is it safe, is it safe to just be who we are? »

Black Beauty

Marc:

« I paint my nails black

I dye my hair a darker shade of brown

'Cause you like your women Spanish, dark, strong and proud

I paint the sky black

You said if you could have your way

You'd make it nighttime all today

So it'd suit the mood with your soul

Oh, what can I do?

Nothing, my sparrow blue

Oh, what can I do?

Life is beautiful, but you don't have a clue

Sun and ocean blue

Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you »

Say Yes to Heaven

Jake:

« If you dance, I'll dance

And if you don't, I'll dance anyway

Give peace a chance

Let the fear you have fall away

I've got my eye on you »

Honeymoon

Steven:

« There are violets in your eyes

There are guns that blaze around you

There are roses in between my thighs

And a fire that surrounds you

It's no wonder every man in town

Had neither fought nor found you

Everything you do is elusive

To even your honey dew »

Prom Song (Gone Wrong)

Nathan:

« Boy, it's late, walk me home, put your hand in mine

At the gate, stop and say, "be my valentine"

You are, by far, the brightest star

I've ever seen, and I never dreamed

I'd be so happy that I could die

You used to say that I was beautiful like Cleopatra

But you the king too, so I would say, "back at ya"

I flip my hair and make you stare and put my makeup on

And make up stories 'bout my life and put on very cherry bomb

And even then, I knew that we were something serious

That you would dominate my thoughts like radio to Sirius »

Pretty When You Cry

Blue:

« All those special times I spent with you, my love

They don't mean shit compared to all your drugs

But I don't really mind, I've got much more than that

Like my memories, I don't need that

I'll wait for you, babe, you don't come through, babe

You never do, babe, that's just what you do

Because I'm pretty when I cry »

Dealer

Jonathan:

« I check it, I wreck it, I turn it around

I gave you all my money, gave you all my money

Gave you all my money, gave you all my money

I don't wanna live

I don't wanna give you nothing

'Cause you never give me nothing back

Why can't you be good for something?

Not one shirt off your back

Why can't you be good for something?

Not one shirt off your back »

Young and Beautiful

Leto:

« Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul?

I know you will, I know you will, I know that you will

Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful?

Dear Lord, when I get to Heaven

Please let me bring my man

When he comes, tell me that you'll let him in

Father, tell me if you can

All that grace, all that body

All that face makes me wanna party

He's my sun, he makes me shine like diamonds »

National Anthem

here you go :))

« I'm your national anthem

God, you're so handsome

Take me to the Hamptons, Bugatti Veyron

He loves to romance 'em, reckless abandon

Holding me for ransom, upper echelon

He says to be cool but, I don't know how yet

Wind in my hair, hand on the back of my neck

I said, "Can we party later on?"

He said, "Yes, yes, yes" »

thinking about soccer player!astumu miya...

college!soccer player! atsumu miya

this is just a random splur of thoughts; this is so random and i apologize

actually lovesick

constantly constantly spending nights at the library, catching him up on econ

every time he takes a penalty/ free kick, he points to you

wearing his jersey religiously

sadly, always feeling like the 2nd choice, at the start of y'alls relationship

"did you know the atsumu miya has a girlfriend?"

"seriously? i thought him and claire were hooking up?"

ALL THE TIME

he doesn't try to deny it either, he knows he gets women..

"babe, it's not my fault that isabel keeps on talking to me."

what can he do? he's the most popular boy in the college

carried his high school team to nationals and people still remember him for that

friends with almost all the cheerleaders (not for good reasons tbh)

but once he heard you say that you really really like

don't get me started

changed man

all eyes were on you

EVEN UNADDED THE HOES, sobbin'

"only for you baby."

keeps his trophies in your apartment so each time he wins one more he has an excuse to visit you

pet names: baby, love, babe, beautiful

literally snuck into your professor's room to find your notebook

only talks about you to most of his friends + they are so bored of it

when he goes pro; and all the women are throwing themselves at him, he still posts pics of you

helping him go cleat shopping

going to fancy parties because he's friends with "famous" people

traveling to see soccer games all the over the world, cus he's 'bored'

sweetest boy alive

always confused on why he picked you

but he loves to tell you he wouldn't have picked anyone else

basically an empty ikea restaurant - so much to do

#atsumu miya #atsumu #atsumu x reader #hq #soccer player #haikyuu x reader #haikyuu drabbles #haikyuu imagine #haikyuu fluff #haikyuu headcanons #miya x reader #pls save me #im so bad at fluff #college au

I feel König is very mischaracterized and I want to have a say on that. Shoutout to my boy Herrera, he got my back 💪 💯 (Thxs for being my reader) if this does well I'll wrote more also heads-up I have NSFW ones so read to where you're comfortable with. Enjoy!!!

König Headcannons SFW

Has constant back pain due to his height and trying to make himself as invisible as possible, which for a man his height isn't easy. He sometimes catches himself slouching due to years of doing so in his childhood due to him being bullied.

Will completely and unashamedly stare at people. He's not sure how to start conversations and honestly just doesn't care much about them. So he just stares. He learns a lot about people because of this.

Just because he has social anxiety doesn't mean he stutters or he's some child. He just rather not interact with people. However, he's a Colonel for a reason. He's never afraid to give orders, and when he has something to say, he will say it. But small talk? Forget about it. He'd rather shoot himself in the head

Hates when people undermine him due to his anxiety. He's a human battering ram and a Colonel and rightfully so demands respect.

Want him to notice you? You gotta make the first move. He'll never make it. He'll just end up staring at you like a stalker. Talk to him. It'll be awkward at first, but once you get him to open up? He'll never shut the hell up.

Loud talker. Like really loud. He doesn't notice, though. If someone points it out, he'll get embarrassed and revert back to his shell you worked so hard to get him out of.

Loves to talk about anything snipers. Need advice which sniper is best for the mission? He'll gladly give you an hour-long lecture that you'll be forced to listen to. Need gear? He'll teach you how to make some for the meanwhile. Help in hand to hand combat? Say no more. Next thing you know, you'll be pinned under him as he tries to teach you, not realizing how he's basically taking your breath.

He loves the adrenaline he gets from exerting fear into the enemy. It's like a drug for him that he loves to chase. Seeing their small bodies, compared to him anyways, the way their eyes dilate with fear, the way their hands shake oh so slightly around their weapon. However, this is a double-edged sword. He never wants women nor children to fear. He was once a kid scared, and he never wants to be the reason someone wakes with nightmares.

Speaking of nightmares, he still has them. More than he likes to admit, but that's his cross to bear. He knows he's a killer, a murderer, even if a deep, uncorrupt part of him kills to admit it.

Tree climber (no I don't really have an explanation for this. Just look at him)

Great hider. When wanting to proof yourself sniper worthy, you need to know how to make yourself small or invisible. However a 6 foot something man cannot make himself small but he can hide. He knows how to contort his body to hide best. Uses the darkest part of his uniform to hide in the shadows. When you see a pair of eyes staring down at you, pray he has mercy on your soul.

NSFW Headcannons

Doesn't do one night stands due to the whole "having to talk to people" aspect. No, he much rather masturbate though he doesn't do it often eithier. (Life as Colonel is tiring.) He doesn't have one specific thing he jerks off to. He just chases the feeling of his hand.

Speaking of his hands, they're rough. Years of fighting left them calloused. And they feel good on him. He thrust himself into his hand wildly, only seeking release. He's wild like an animal in heat, not caring for how much his bed may squeak.

He's loud. Really loud. He shoves his fist into his mouth to quiet himself down. Has on multiple occasions used his mask as a gag to quiet himself down. Groans and moans. When he's close, his groans turn into pants and whimpers.

Definitely has cried when climaxing before. This man is stressed and needs the release. So one day he decided to edge himself and by the time he climaxed, he was sobbing into his pillow, mouth full of his mask, rutting into the bed like a bitch in heat. If anyone heard anything, no they didn't.

Sometimes the adrenaline from war gets him hard. It's a common occurrence between soldiers so people never say anything but it's hard to ignore due to his size translating down there.

He's def thought about bottoming...more than he probably should. He wants to not be in charge sometimes. The pressure of being Colonel and leading men can be too much and to keep up that facade in bed? While exciting, he wants to let his guard down and have someone take care of HIM for once. Will never admit it outloud, though. So yeah he's a switch but bottoming excites him more than he likes to admit.

He's a sniper to the core. His hands are stable and he has trained his eyes to stay open for a long time. However, that all goes out the window when he's having some private time. When he's about to come, his hands shake slightly and he fidgets all over the bed. He almost always tears up and may shed a tear or two when climaxing due to how tightly he closes his eyes.

Oral fixation. Anxiety is a bitch and can cause bad habits like lip biting. Loves to chew or suck on things. It helps him focus as well. This also goes in the bedroom. He'll suck on the inside part of his mouth to keep quiet or when he's feeling overstimulated. If he's using his mask as a gag, he'll suckle on it, not on purpose mind you, but it's what his body does naturally. Sometimes sucks on his fingers when jerking off (he always feels ashamed after but it brings him a sort of hazy feeling of comfort)

Every song on Taylor Swift “Midnights” is about IWTV

...either as the point of view from a character (POV) or about a character. Don't believe me? I brought receipts!

Star ratings (1-5) are how closely/confidently it matches the show rather than the quality of the song.

‘Lavender Haze’

POV: Louis (ep1) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say No deal, the 1950s shit they want from me I just wanna stay in that lavender haze

Loustat gif source - Lavender Haze video gif source

'Maroon' POV: Lestat to Louis (ep2) ⭐️⭐️⭐️

When the silence came, we were shaking blind and hazy How the hell did we lose sight of us again? Sobbin' with your head in your hands

And I lost you The one I was dancin' with

'Anti-Hero' POV: Lestat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

I should not be left to my own devices They come with prices and vices I end up in crisis (I've realized all this time) I wake up screaming from dreaming One day I'll watch as you're leaving 'Cause you got tired of my scheming For the last time

Lestat gif source

‘Snow On The Beach’ POV: Louis to Lestat (ep6) ⭐️

And time can't stop me quite like you did And my flight was awful, thanks for asking I'm unglued, thanks to you

My smile is like I won a contest And to hide that would be so dishonest And it's fine to fake it 'til you make it 'Til you do, 'til it's true

Louis gif source

‘You’re On Your Own, Kid’ POV: Claudia (ep5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn't choose this town, I dream of getting out There's just one who could make me stay All my days

You're on your own, kid You always have been

I looked around in a blood-soaked gown And I saw something they can't take away 'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned

Claudia gif source

'Midnight Rain' POV: Louis (ep1/2) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

He was sunshine, I was midnight rain He wanted it comfortable I wanted that pain He wanted a bride I was making my own name Chasing that fame He stayed the same All of me changed like midnight

Loustat gif source

'Question…?' POV: Loustat ⭐️

Good girl, sad boy Big city, wrong choices We had one thing going on I swear that it was something 'Cause I don't remember who I was before you

'Vigilante Shit' POV: Claudia (ep7) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

You did some bad things, but I'm the worst of them Sometimes I wonder which one will be your last lie They say looks can kill and I might try I don't dress for women I don't dress for men Lately I've been dressing for revenge

Claudia gif source

'Bejeweled' POV: Lestat to Louis (ep5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Puttin' someone first only works when you're in their top five And by the way, I'm going out tonight

Best believe I'm still bejeweled When I walk in the room I can still make the whole place shimmer And when I meet the band They ask, "Do you have a man?" I can still say, "I don't remember" Familiarity breeds contempt Don't put me in the basement When I want the penthouse of your heart Diamonds in my eyes I polish up real, I polish up real nice

Lestat gif source

‘Labyrinth’ POV: Louis (ep6/7) ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh no, I'm falling in love again Oh, I'm falling in love I thought the plane was going down How'd you turn it right around

Loustat gif source

‘Karma’ POV: Claudia to Lestat (ep6/7) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You're talking shit for the hell of it Addicted to betrayal, but you're relevant You're terrified to look down 'Cause if you dare, you'll see the glare Of everyone you burned just to get there It's coming back around

‘Sweet Nothing’ POV: Louis to Lestat (ep7) ⭐️⭐️⭐️

They said the end is coming Everyone's up to something I find myself running home to your Sweet nothings

Louis gif source

'Mastermind' POV: Claudia (ep6/7) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

And the touch of a hand lit the fuse Of a chain reaction of countermoves To assess the equation of you Checkmate, I couldn't lose

No one wanted to play with me as a little kid So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since To make them love me and make it seem effortless This this the first time I've felt the need to confess And I swear I'm only cryptic and Machiavellian 'cause I care

Claudia img source

Bonus tracks! (The "3am" album version)

‘The Great War’ Loustat (ep6) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My knuckles were bruised like violets Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked Spineless in my tomb of silence Tore your banners down, took the battle underground And maybe it was ego swinging Maybe it was her Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur

All that bloodshed, crimson clover Uh-huh, sweet dream was over My hand was the one you reached for All throughout the Great War

‘Bigger Than The Whole Sky’ POV: Louis to Lestat (ep7) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

No words appear before me in the aftermath Salt streams out my eyes and into my ears Every single thing I touch becomes sick with sadness 'Cause it's all over now, all out to sea

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye You were bigger than the whole sky You were more than just a short time And I've got a lot to pine about I've got a lot to live without

Louis gif source

‘Paris’ About: Lestat & Nicki ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wanna brainwash you Into loving me forever I wanna transport you To somewhere the culture's clever Confess my truth In swooping, sloping, cursive letters Let the only flashing lights be the tower at midnight In my mind … I'm so in love that I might stop breathing Drew a map on your bedroom ceiling

‘High Infidelity’ POV: Lestat to Louis (ep5-6) ⭐️⭐️⭐️

High infidelity Put on your headphones and burn my city Your picket fence is sharp as knives I was dancing around, dancing around it Do you really want to know where I was April 29th? Do I really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?

You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love The slowest way is never loving them enough

‘Glitch’ POV: Claudia to Charlie (ep4) ⭐️⭐️

We were supposed to be just friends You don't live in my part of town, but maybe I'll see you out some weekend Depending on what kind of mood and situation-ship I'm in And what's in my system

I think there's been a glitch, oh, yeah Five seconds later, I'm fastening myself to you with a stitch, oh, yeah And I'm not even sorry Nights are so starry, blood moonlit

‘Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve’ POV: Louis ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

All I used to do was pray Would've, could've, should've If you'd never looked my way

I would've stayed on my knees And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil At nineteen And the God's honest truth is that the pain was heaven And now that I'm grown, I'm scared of ghosts Memories feel like weapons And now that I know, I wish you'd left me wondering

Loustat gif source

‘Dear Reader’ POV: Daniel (Dubai-era) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Never take advice from someone who's falling apart

So I wander through these nights I prefer hiding in plain sight My fourth drink in my hand These desperate prayers of a cursed man Spilling out to you for free But darling, darling, please You wouldn't take my word for it If you knew who was talking

Daniel gif source

Whew! I did not expect this post to be this long!

If you think any of these songs works better for a different POV, I’m all ears! Hit me up in the comments and let’s discuss.

Six brothers go to town to find wives after their eldest brother gets married.

Warning- so much misogyny!

I watched this movie July '22 and my head was spinning. I can't describe what I was feeling - I was laughing so hard at what I was seeing though certainly not for the intended reasons. I can't say I was totally surprised, because of where the story started and seemed to be leading. Still, I hoped by the time the kidnapping happened things would turn around but I was still baffled. I was yelling at my screen, "Oh please, don't - you aren't seriously going to-! Oh my god, you are! no, NO, NOOOoooO!" I remember feeling like, "damn, I really wish someone was watching this with me", and they could feel as ridiculous as I was feeling. I was gonna put this movie out of my memory because even sharing about it to friends the vibe I generally got back was, "...and you watch this shit?"

Saw the reaction above (love his 'Watching [_] being uncomfortable but not knowing why' series) and I was crying laughing. So yes, memories came flooding back. And here we are.

Yep, a bunch of brothers kidnap several women. Milly condemns it, and the movie itself sort of says it was a bad thing but only so far as, "boys will be boys" you know what I mean? And all the girls forgive and marry them by the end. This wasn't a few awkward comments; they kidnapped several women and even clobbered one of their suitors. Even though the lead male character, Adam (played by Howard Keel), finally learns what he did was wrong, it was in that typical "if it were my daughter-~" reasoning. Not so much as you shouldn't be taking away the agency of another human being. ... progress, I guess? ...

This movie was a surprise success at the time - as MGM was putting their money on Brigadoon. Critic reviews were positive, it was the 5th most popular film at British box office in 1955, AFI in 2001 ranked it #21 on a list for best musicals, and so on. Yes, quick wiki summary for you and the point is: a movie about a bunch of brothers kidnapping women wasn't controversial. My point is audiences were walking out on Sylvia Scarlett (1935) for a bit of "crossdressing" and more recently Rope (1948) was banned in some cities for being too gay (without ever directly referencing to homosexuality). I think that pretty much sums up US' priorities right now too.

This movie was based on a short story by Stephen Vincent Benet, "The Sobbin' Women", which itself was based on "The Rape of the Sabine Women" myth.

Anyhow, I'm not saying you can't enjoy it or you should feel bad if you do (let's just not try to pretend it isn't what it is). The music about the sobbing women is pretty damn catchy, if I'm being begrudgingly honest. The dancing is fun - even one rare negative contemporary review would admit. And another in '85 describes it as "profoundly sexist and eminently hummable".

I was definitely entertained - eyes wide open the whole way through. Whether it's for the right reasons or not, whether the 'right' reasons matter... up to you if you wanna see for yourself.

You are probably a 3 out of ten for intimidating-ness. You are so nice and sweet. You could never hurt anyone or tell your brothers to kidnap their girlfriends. You’re just too wholesome.

I probably am, yeah. And no, I wouldn't tell anyone to kidnap their girlfriend, although thanks to you I'm now going to be singing 'Sobbin' women' under my breath for the rest of the day. Thank you for that!

Gideon’s initial plan to get Alice is to meow. Upon nearly getting caught, his revised plan is to simply meow more aggressively.

Instead of getting back to writing I am once again thinking about how the internet folk would react if, for whatever reason I cannot fathom, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was remade for the first time in like 70 years. The offense that would be taken, the arguments about stockholm syndrome, the people who just want to enjoy the music, the very likely lackluster dance breaks being compared with the original...

#look sobbin' women is just a very jaunty fun tune
