something something louis saying that he likes "predicting what overlooked product will flourish in time" and then of course daniel the drug-addled kid he picks up becomes a pulitzer prize-winning journalist. and then they sell the bacon triptych and can't decide what to replace it with on the wall so louis says: "leave [the wall] bare then. wait for revelation to enter the room" and then daniel sits right in front of that wall and they both look at him instead. daniel as another one of louis' investments that he aims to profit from.

Interview with the Vampire “Don’t Be Afraid, Just Start the Tape”

Did I catch you in a fantasy, where the boy somehow fumbles his way to publication? Where Lestat strolls past a bookstore, your book displayed in the shop window, where he buys himself a copy, reads your nasty embellishments and comes chasing after you again?

this is non-urgent but as of next week i’m gonna be tapering back my hours with my main boss. by the end of july i’m hoping to make up those hours by taking on a shift with a third boss (lol..) but considering how low my income is already this will be kinda a strain on me. i am a disabled trans woman, if u would like to help me buy food, pay bills, and continue like doing fun things outside my flat, i would appreciate it. thank you

just got "my love"d by the gay barista why do i never lose even once

i think in general if you are at a restaurant it's bad form to address your waiter as 'darling' but if the one unbelievably attractive man in a shirt that was open to like halfway down his chest that i was serving last night wanted to keep doing it to me all night, which he did, then, well. i am fine with that.

you can now read this for free on medium! my next piece, hopefully finished by the end of this week, will be on god's own country and wuthering heights.

I am far less interested in the narrative of The Talented Mr. Ripley as one of psychological profiling—as its reception points to, a tale of ‘psychopathy’ or other such voyeuristic projections of lazy and essentialising psychology—as I am in picking at the discourse by which Highsmith and Minghella constitute queerness as a peripheral threat to the confines of heterosexuality; I find that zeroing in on these questions of sexual norms and deviations thereof makes for a useful exegetical practice. [...] Tom Ripley enters the narrative as the threat of homosexual embodiment—though it might be more precise to name him as homosexual contagion. He acts initially as a disciplining structure towards the governance of the family, tasked as he is with the mission to bring Dickie Greenleaf home to America and, presumably, set him on a path that involves gainful employment and reproductive futurity pleasantly ensconced in heterosexuality. Dickie’s having absconded to Italy ushers in the kinds of potentialities encoded in, for instance, a lingering shot of two men embracing on a street corner, or the classical homosexual tradition invoked by Peter, or Freddie Miles’ campily foppish (though heterosexual) demeanour. For all that Dickie Greenleaf is presented to us as rather assuredly straight, the possibility—threat—of deviation from hegemonic sexual paradigms constantly mediates his relationships with men and women alike, and such a deviation comes home to roost when queer contagion in the form of Tom Ripley takes on the form, language, and desires of the American family unit.

back on my patreon bullshit—this time i'm trying out writing some (relatively) short commentary on whatever piece of media piques my interest at the moment. so if you want to read me chucking some ideas together about homosociality, social contagion, & mirrors in 1999's the talented mr. ripley, you can do so for £1/$1 at the link.

this piece will become free for all a month from today.
