the pig being spitroasted with the blue plastic eye that looks just like olivers. the person turning the spit wearing a pig mask. oliver confronting farleigh as theyre both framed by the catton players stage, with the camera positioned from the pov of the statue of theseus killing the minotaur, which was lit up red. oliver getting roasted by farleigh. oliver monologuing to elspeth about felixs death. youre just turning the handle to the end of the world. happiness seems like loneliness and loneliness killed my world as oliver sips from the bottle he eventually poisons and gives to felix. felix being olivers world. all the worlds a stage. shakespeares folio, midsummer nights dream themes party. this isnt a dream to me, its my house. its my house i can go where i want. oliver inheriting felixs world but not felix. lining the catton family stones ontop the catton player box that contains everyone but farleigh. the nauseating creaking sound of the catton player puppets thrashing around in the box they can never get out of. the creaking of the gurney outside the window as everyones bathed in red light. the second statue in the maze of just a minotaurs head. the statue of a mans head in the fireplace of olivers bedroom. the statue of a truck sitting on the left of the entrance to saltburn. felix driving oliver to prescott in a truck with a fishing lure hanging from the rearview mirror. the gone fishing sign on olivers family home when nobody had actually left except oliver. oliver hooking his fingers in venetias mouth and her later doing the same when she catches onto what hes done. the story about shelley drowning and then venetia dying in a bathtub with signs of a struggle. the overflowing wineglass. elspeths fear of anything wet. venetia and farleigh looking for felix in the lake. its so hot. icarus tattoo. felix lying in the maze with his wings still on during the hottest summer theyve known. sir, the police keep getting lost in the maze. the minotaur statue holding a pig ripped in half.

not to be a nerd but it’s so crazy how he (Bernini) really did that from cold hard stone……. truly a spectacle, truly breathtaking, an honor to behold
#the tenderness of humanity in which we can carve such subtle and desperate intimacy into the coldest slab of marble#the way that a 23 year-old sculptor from centuries ago has managed to immortalise such fierce adoration in a statue's touch#ladies and gents is it normal to cry over how we have always been seeking/finding/CREATING humanity and love in inanimate things for foreve

Andrea Erestain, excerpt from an unfinished novel; We'll All Be Here Forever
#SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#imagining gion looking through estella's journals and realising at this very moment that it had been vienna all along#not just the utter agony of that realising that he had made that painful revelation at one point#but also the fact that even at this time (seemingly moving on from her old home/making real bonds/seeing a future in her new home)—#—estella still goes back to vienna#“there was only one place to go really”#and the way she never managed to go home to vienna and evangelina in the end :((((( only reunited properly in her dreams

the roman empire trend……………..
#roman empire#wondering about how many people misunderstood the true meaning of roman empire#because i’m pretty sure the trend stems from the fact that about 99% of men on tiktok say they think about the roman empire every day#so it’s become synonymous with occupying your mind constantly#but that really isn’t just it#ROMAN EMPIRE….#it’s friendship breakups/relationships with parents crumbling/your older sibling moving away for college#it’s having something built up for what seems like an eternity; so meticulously and with such love and care#and having it all fall in a single day#of course you think about it every day#how can you not?
