Mari. She/her. Quiet riot. 29 for the fourth time. A stranger in new territory. I read, I write, I obsess.

i love how in fic writing you don't have to pretend to be high brow like a real author, you can just write your horny little tropes no questions asked

Insane things that Will did that make him much worse than Hannibal:

  • He had a gun with him when Hannibal stabbed him and he didn't even try to fight back, he let himself be held as his bowls were falling out
  • He foreplayed with his therapist during therapy
  • He had to be stopped from shooting a guy crawling out of a horse all because he had psychosexual rage towards his therapist and wanted to take it out on the guy he was supposed to catch
  • Flew to Europe to sneak around Hannibal's old property, called the scar on his stomach a 'smile' and forced Chiyoh to kill the guy she's been keeping a prisoner because he wanted to see what she would do, then turned his corpse into a grotesque art piece with no witnesses to that
  • He sailed to Europe and told the detective there that 'he doesn't know what he'll do when he sees Hannibal so he should be careful' ?? (brother you're there to catch Hannibal....)
  • He sat with Hannibal in the gallery saying the most romantic shit ever, failed to stab him and then he just let Hannibal dig the bullet out and drug him??? (you can't convince me he didn't have an ounce of energy to fight back or see that coming mr I tell the future with senses)
  • He started combing his hair back after Hannibal tried to saw open his brain... ok whore
  • He got jealous when Hannibal started admiring a serial killer
  • He never once complained about eating Hannibal's cooking & he KNEW it was people...

I like to interpret Saltburn from the lens that, while everything Oliver says should be taken with a grain of salt, everything the camera shows can be taken as true (misleading maybe, and not always the whole truth, but not fabricated either).

Oliver is telling the story and may give certain events out of order so as to craft the narrative he wants to believe in, but the images we see do correspond to genuine events.

Imo, it makes for the most interesting analysis options between what we see, what Oliver is narrating, and what we can imagine Oliver saw/understood in any given scene.

Lol, just saw that a Youtube video has the title: "How to Fix Saltburn"

Me to this random person I don't know: Pretty sure you're not qualified to say it doesn't make sense and that it needs "fixing." Sad you have a skill issue but sshhhh, leave me and my people alone.
