send asks, i'm bored!!!!!!
Shoutout to @boygeniusmemes, this is me everytime I rewatch the movie.
rant.
WHY-?
why is tragedy beautiful?
why is suicide glamorized?
why do we romanticize the Ophelias, Hedda Gablers, Cleopatras and Sylvia Plaths?!
why are Neil Perry and Daisy Randone fan favorites?!
WHY do so many queer stories end in sorrow?!
We are here to live! Dying is a consequence, not an aspiration!
YES!! momento mori, but so you can remember to enjoy life now, CARPE DIEM!!
Why when we can romanticize life, do we choose death?
Why do we choose to retreat from the warm caress of the sun and turn to the suffocating vice grip of the earth?
DEAR GOD WHY!!!!!
Do you have any pets? And what's your favourite painting(s)?
I have a cat named Finnick (after the hunger games character lol) and we have a family dog, Kirby.
My favorite painting is probably the last supper? I'm not super educated when it comes to art, I wish I was. However I am FASCINATED by the crucifixion and everything leading up to it, despite not being super religious anymore. For a less grim answer I've always liked Degas' ballerinas.
is having crushes on boys real?
cause I genuinely thought it was a bit. like....idk growing up a closet lesbian with parents who hate each other made me think that heterosexual love wasn't real but you deal with it anyway cause that's life. come to find out that some women are obsessed with their boyfriends like...for real...
Why should I watch dead poets society..?
It is a beautiful film both in terms of the visual storytelling and the actual writing and themes
It has romantic subplots but overall centers friendship
It speaks to the human experience as a whole but especially to artists, the sacrifices and pain that come with passion
Standout acting performance by Robert Sean Leonard both in the film itself and the play within it
It genuinely helped me want to live during a difficult time in my life and reminds me to KEEP living and to stick to my morals and passions despite convention and tradition
What are your favourite songs at the moment?
got back into blondie recently so the whole parallel lines album has been on my mind lately
other than that, townie by mitski and dream lover by dion
