Enfield said Hyde "carried on...like Satan" in the first chapter, and then the maid says he "carried on... like a madman" when he killed Carew. The way it changes connotation from "this guy isn't human" to "this guy is one of us gone wrong" at the exact time the boundaries between Jekyll and Hyde started to blur. The way that seemingly insignificant change of words completely changes the nature of what Hyde is-- from satanic spawn to regrettably human. I hate you robert louis stevenson you make being an author look easy.

something i love about the way saltburn is filmed is how fleeting so many of the most quietly sensual moments between oliver and felix are…many films would drag out those small touches, those throwaway glances, to emphasize how profoundly meaningful they are to one or all characters involved (like the pointed yearning we see in, oh i don't know, 2005 p&p's famous hand holding, for example). saltburn takes a much more realistic approach in that plenty of the subtle flirtation and boundary-testing going on between oliver/felix isn't really pointed out to you--you've got to look for it yourself. one example is when they're seated in the grass in the foreground of a shot, not even really the focus, and felix reaches over to brush something off of oliver's leg. it's nothing in its own right, but we know to oliver that must have been absolutely thrilling. and we're so attuned to oliver's lust (especially upon rewatch) that those tiny moments become immense to us. even the many moments of longing that are emphasized aren't given any more time than oliver realistically has to express them. all of his quick, desperate gazes in felix's direction, the way his eyes trace over felix's expressions, how and when he leans closer or pulls away. it's precisely how any of us would behave around a person we love but can't outrightly express our feelings for; as desperate to express as we are afraid of getting caught. it's such a particular and intelligent choice on every level of filmmaking (cinematography, editing, directing, and acting, at least) that just works breathtakingly well

there's a lot of talk about wei wuxian going back in time and saving everyone (except those who don't deserve it) and keeping his golden core
little is said about wei wuxian confronting nie mingjue saying something like: *eye roll* chifeng-zun i already saw your naked dead body, of course you don't intimidate me anymore

There's something about "I'm worried about you" and "I can't fix it" that is making me insane. Buck knows Eddie's hurting. He doesn't know how to fix it, or even if he can. Eddie doesn't know how to fix it either. Buck is the guy who likes to fix things, and maybe this isn't something he can fix. Maybe it is. Neither of them know. But Buck's going to try. He made sure Eddie was actually free to talk about it all and didn't judge him for it. Love is stored in the kitchen and he made sure he stepped right into it for this. He made sure Eddie knows he's there for him. He broached the subject without accusing Eddie of anything. He was simply there for him, asking Eddie to let him in.

Making myself cry on my reread of tda noticing how obvious it is in every other character's POV that ty is drawn to kit and kit's presence is obviously calming/reassuring to ty and then thinking about how kit just like does not see it and thinks he has to be serving some purpose for ty to want him around 😭
WTF IS WITH EVERYONE ON THIS APP COMING FOR ME
DO I NOT SUFFER ENOUGH????? I'M A KITTY STAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! I HAVE ENOUGH PAIN IN MY LIFE ALREADY WHY ARE YOU REMINDING ME?????????????????
but on a more serious note (lolsies), i just love love love that in tda you can see how ty needs kit so much and always (and i mean always) wants him around. but kit is just too blind to see it bc he's got it in his head that no one could ever truly love him and it makes them that much more heartbreaking, bc they both love each other so freaking much but don't see that their feelings are like insanely requited (those fools)
