loved this idea so much i wanted to make it a proper image post. anon your mind

[id: an anonymous ask reading, “Ravenous concept: Boyd being haunted by Reich, like Orestes being pursued by the furies.” the image above is an illustration of this in shades of red and blue; reich hovers upside down in front of boyd, pale eyes wide and grinning with teeth. shadowy specters of reich with pale eyes and grinning mouths follow behind boyd. end id.]

my favorite moment

Now how am I supposed to explain the Wenis to my friends?

I just saw a super old post of yours talking about Ravenous and omg what a film! one of these days I’m going to write an extremely in-depth analytical paper about it — there’s just so much to talk about. you don’t happen to still have access to those deleted scenes do you? bc I would love to see them

it’s sooooooooo good! feel free to chat with me about it whenever - i love to talk about it and hear others’ thoughts!

the deleted scenes can be found here! the editing of the final film is very tight, atmospheric, and dreamy in a way that the inclusion of any of these scenes would have stepped on, so i am ultimately glad they were cut, but i’m also so glad to have access to them and believe that they are mandatory viewing for fans of the film who want to engage deeply with it.

Child versions of some people,, in winter!

Estonia is very fashion-forward,,, she always looked at westerners and took ideas from them I think

[hungry-hobbits]

everyone has their categories of little guys they gravitate towards but i kind of realized the one for me that has the most guys in it is probably "autistic-coded, well meaning, soft spoken christian guy" bonus points if they have a romantic (implied)/devoted relationship with another man who is more masculine than him

What are your top 5 favorite fictional characters?

The delay on this is because I’ve been weighing different characters from different things against each other since I saw this. I’ve probably spent far more time on this than strictly necessary. None of this knowledge has prevented me from spending all this time. As such, these are definitely in no particular order.

1. Harvey Dent.

2. Tom Hagen.

3. Armand.

4. Private Reich.

5. Bartleby.

There was far too much mental debate over who, precisely, would be in the top five. But thank you for asking!

Do you have any Ravenous (1999) headcanons? 👀

YES I HAVE A FEW!!! Honestly I’m more the type of person who clings to all the actual facts of the characters but let’s see…

1. I think Boyd is more drawn to the consumption of human blood than actual human flesh. He was created by blood and only really seems to slip in his resolve to not become a cannibal when he is confronted with fresh blood. Not to say he’s a vampire but I could definitely see him being more partial to raw flesh like his fantasy with murdering Cleaves. (I did get this idea from a fanfic tho so you can’t give me credit for it but ITS SO SMART!!!)

2. Toffler is smart and calculated. He may have a speech impediment and have a good moral code but that makes him the target of a lot of ableism. When people make demeaning comments about him you can tell in his face he knows he’s being ridiculed but doesn’t fight back probably because in the past it never helped. He’s come to terms with people underestimating and looking down on him so he puts his dedication and resolve into his faith.

3. This comes from an Au I’m making rather than actual fact but I like to headcanon Reich as having albinism. I can see him putting on special sunscreen to protect his sensitive skin and having to wear strong reading glasses he might be a little insecure about due to his sensitive/diminished eyesight. (Also having to wear sunglasses whenever outside especially in the sun) but despite the challenges he faces he is STRONG!! Pushes himself to the limits in a way to maybe prove himself that he can do anything and everything he puts his mind to!

4. Cleaves and George are obviously a couple 🤨…. I do like Reich and Toffler too I think it’s cute.

5. MARTHA IS A GIRLBOSS LESBIAN!!! Every time I see the scene where cleaves and her go off for supplies and she makes her sly little joke of “no women” I can’t help but think she’s giggling to herself knowing she’s gonna woo some lady anyways. Also Martha deserves the best so why shouldn’t she get a girlfriend that treats her right after all this nonsense.

6. I think if Boyd actually gave in to Ives and the mystical cannibal ways he would absolutely NOT be shoved around be Ives anymore. Ives Will stay a devious little shit but Boyd is an immovable object to an unstoppable force. I think Boyd would keep Ives in line and be his under emotive autistic boyfriend to his ADHD high energy lover. (Coughs coughs ives is a power bottom/ Boyd is a gentle ish… top… idk I think Boyd gets a little revenge in the form of consensual intimacy cuz of his boyfriends crazy shenanigans in the beginning of their ‘relationship’)

OKAY… sorry that was long thats all I can think of for now. God I love these scrunklies<3

I finally watched Ravenous. Absolutely nothing about the way you’ve been posting about it prepared me for that. The fuckin upbeat ‘yeehaw’ banjos while the little god boy was running terrified through the woods being chased by Robert Carlyle doing THAT with his hands and his blonde soldier boyfriend coming after them, the goddamn opening quote text which had me laughing my ass off, the sheer amount of homoeroticism (which I thought was just fun stuff being played around with on Tumblr omg) — im obsessed with this film. You’ve done this to me.

I went into that film expecting a psychological horror film about men stuck in a cave (a la The Lighthouse) and instead I got The Lost Boys but they’re all cannibals.

YES, WE GOT ANOTHER ONE, BOYS.

oh, ravenous is a movie that you just have to experience, i'm so happy you gave it a chance. those opening quotes had me going 'OH' the first time i watched it, like i just knew i was in for an unforgettable ride. this movie is a delight (which is a natural thing to say about a cannibal western horror-comedy amalgamation, of course).

and yeah, we love babygirlifying cannibals here in tumblr dot com, but the homoerotism is 100% there lmao.

(one last kiss) i love you like an alcoholic

[wern1c]

I really love your ravenous art especially how you draw reich!! also your colors are always so pleasant :D

thanks!! It's really relaxing thing to draw they all so expressive

[princessmo]

also i totally get the boyd/ives tunnel vision bc i have it too but i wish people mentioned boyd and hart's friendship more. like there's not a lot of it but there's the little bourbon scene at the beginning and how boyd kneels down to look at hart after colqhoun kills him and the bit where hart comes back and lifts boyd onto the bed and when boyd's like "oh god you're gonna be the one to kill me" hart is like "NO! i like you. you gotta eat" and he's supporting boyd while he walks...idk there's so many little things nobody talks about

edit: i fucking forgot the biggest one. hart letting boyd out of his handcuffs in exchange for the mercy kill. bffs

[starbuck]

i can’t remember if i ever actually made the Ravenous Ghost Bell analysis post, but i wish i had time to make it because i feel like it would be received well in this moment…
