She may not have been onscreen long but she left a massive impression.

C. S. Lewis is like the anti-E. L. James in that James's writing has a core of Virtuous™ trad gender norms hidden under a layer of kink, whereas Lewis's writing has a kinky core hidden under a layer of Virtuous™ trad gender norms

Had to share this Pinterest interaction with Mauriceblr because I'm losing it over this

[fruitybookworm]

the 1987 adaptation of ‘maurice’ was great in most aspects honestly. changing clive from suddenly just falling out of love with maurice (and men overall) to instead showing his spiral after risley was convicted and adding that scene at the end (as much as it hurt) were honestly good additions.

i will however NEVER forgive them for adding that ominous music over the scene where alec climbed up the ladder and came into maurice’s room. it deadass made it look like he forced himself on maurice. WHY ?? in the books maurice calls “come !” into the dark and alec genuinely thought he was calling for him. he didn’t just come up the ladder like a creep and jump on him..

was it perfect? no. but it still means so much to me. the book is very special to me and the fact it got an adaptation in the 80s is incredible. i’m very glad i watched the movie after reading the book as i could fill in some of the odd jumps in time with missing scenes from the book, i fear many won’t enjoy it as much as i did without it.

basically what i wanna say is i highly recommend reading the book and then rewatching the movie if you’ve already watched it and felt like something was missing !

Midnight Pals: Obelisk

Wyle E. Young: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the big black obelisk Lovecraft: [sweats] a big black obelisk??? Young: that's right Young: made of really weird stone that's so black Young: like blacker than black Lovecraft: is the stone greasy? Lovecraft: oh boy please say the stone is greasy

Young: so there's this little town in Texas Young: and one day this giant mysterious black obelisk appears Young: and it starts to mess with people's minds Robert E. Howard: now hold on there, pard Howard: ya don't mess with Texas!

Young: now this black obelisk is messing up everyone's brains Young: filling them with scenes of gore and violence that never were Young: naturally everyone is pissed that their tax dollars went to building this giant black obelisk that messes with their brains Young: prime example of government pork

Young: so they go to yell at the mayor for approving the construction of a giant black obelisk that messes with people's brains Young: because, look, this sort of thing wouldn't happen if people just paid attention to local politics before a giant black obelisk that messes with your brain just appears on the green

Poe: it sounds like you're speaking from experience Young: don't even get me started on how many times I've woken up to find that the municipal government is diverting funds earmarked for road maintenance and extra library hours to the acquisition and construction of giant black stone obelisks that mess with your mind

Young: so people i am begging you Young: get involved Young: go to your city council meetings Young: write to your congressman Young: educate yourself on the issues Young: before they just put a giant black obelisk in your town

Lovecraft: so how does this giant black obelisk mess with people's minds anyway? Young: well, for one thing, it makes them really racist Lovecraft: Lovecraft: Poe: don't say it howard Barker: he's gonna say it Lovecraft: how is that messing with their minds? Barker: ha ha ha he said it! the absolute madman, he said it!

Young: see, it makes people think they're fighting in the civil war Young: so they're just goring each other all over the place King: wow! sounds like a real UNCIVIL war! Young: King: get it? see, it's a pun on- Barker: jesus christ steve
