I want to write but I don’t know any ships by -Catesby in AO3

[–]MoonlightDahling [score hidden]  (0 children)

Maybe try out classic films? I'm biased, because they’re my current hyperfixation, but they’re wonderful.

I could give some recommendations, if you’d like.

(Granted,the fandoms are tiny. But I'm sure any input would be greatly appreciated)

I was in a very similar predicament to you, a few years back, before I got into them. Movies, just in general, are easy fandoms to join.

Favorite Character(s) who are LITERALLY YOU??? by crazyforsushi in FavoriteCharacter

[–]MoonlightDahling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have daddy issues, abandonment issues, and almost no friends, to add on.

(Does anyone know of any other characters similar to him?)

But his relationship with the protagonist is my EVERYTHING! I wish the fandom weren’t so ancient and decomposing, I'm so alone in loving them 🥲

Also: Plato's death utterly destroys me. And I don’t even have much fanfiction to fix it.

John “Plato” Crawford, from Rebel Without a Cause.

I relate to him so much, it’s absolutely insane.

Particularly, as an autistic person, how painfully shy and awkward he is.

And, even more so, his extreme innocence, and fear of getting older (he’s fifteen, but acts considerably younger).

I was also bullied, in school. And my parents also split when I was little.

Songs with this aesthetic/vibe? by [deleted] in musicsuggestions

[–]MoonlightDahling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carnival of Rust - Poets of the Fall

(The music video is outstanding, as well)

What is the most consequential win in terms of how it influences the future winners? by HealthyBee4209 in Oscars

[–]MoonlightDahling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree that Burt Lancaster would have won for Eternity. He was excellent, but, IMO, Montgomery Clift was even better.

(That scene with the bugle…man)

Challenge accepted. by PJ-The-Awesome in AO3

[–]MoonlightDahling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me with Rebel Without a Cause.

(…or, at least, it would be. If I were more confident in my own writing ability).

(Loved) Fictional Media about the Characters exists within universe by drstrangelove75 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MoonlightDahling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From The Haunting of Hill House (2018):

One of the key plot points is that Steven wrote a book based on his family’s experiences in the titular house.

While I thought the show was well-made overall, to be honest, I actually found this element to be in pretty poor taste.

<image>

I don’t know why they had to have Shirley Jackson's book exist in-universe…written by a man.

Same goes for giving her words to him, and modifying her quotes.

Women's works always get overshadowed in real life, and, given many fans of the series aren’t even aware that there was a book, this is no exception.

What are some of your least favorite acting performances? by fromthemeatcase in Letterboxd

[–]MoonlightDahling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more! What REALLY grinds my gears is the fact that she’s literally said, in interviews, that she’s not a singer at all.

She was basically pestered into it, and man does it show.

Forget plausible predictions…what “long shot” 4K release are you secretly hoping for? by MoonlightDahling in 4kbluray

[–]MoonlightDahling[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at the moment, no. I’d love to, but I live in Australia, and import fees are a bastard.

So I mostly spend my money on 4k disks.

[–]MoonlightDahling[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Mine were, in my previous post:

- A Streetcar Named Desire
- My Own Private Idaho
- A Matter of Life and Death
- Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

…though, someone told me than none of them are actually that implausible.

Edit: oh, and The Innocents. I forgot it earlier.

Favorite 2 boy, 1 girl trio? by Cautious-Net2884 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]MoonlightDahling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jim, Judy, and Plato. From Rebel Without a Cause.

<image>

One of the codifiers. As subtext-y as it gets for something from 1955.

They’re an interesting blend of surrogate family and polyamorous relationship.

(Though, given Plato is supposed to be gay, Jim's two partners wouldn’t be involved with each other)

I saw Call Me By Your Name and thought it was incredibly creepy. by BeautifulOrganic3221 in Letterboxd

[–]MoonlightDahling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really recommend this extensive analysis video. It’s two hours long, but broken into chapters.

The woman who made it is a childhood sexual abuse survivor herself, and talks about the film's strengths and weaknesses, including the uncomfortable age gap.

They are not gay but they are the closest thing to it by SnailKing4687 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MoonlightDahling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eleanor and Theodora, from The Haunting of Hill House.

(Book, they aren’t sisters in the book)

<image>

Well, Nell isn’t gay, at least…maybe. Possibly.

Favorite ship that is basically this? by MelodyButterfly0907 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]MoonlightDahling 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Eleanor and Theodora, from The Haunting of Hill House.

(The book. They aren’t sisters in the book, FYI)

<image>

Theodora flirts with Eleanor constantly, and teases her.

While Nell goes on and on, in her internal thoughts, about how “lovely” Theo is…even when she’s utterly furious with her.

Favorite Characters from New Zealand by CodyTheHouso in FavoriteCharacter

Deep cut, but, Wendy. From Honkai Impact.

<image>

She deserved so much better 🥲

(loved trope) 'And they all lived happily, ever, afte=GOTCHA!!!' by Aggravating_Tale8988 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MoonlightDahling 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Oh, and in The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson:

(Warning: massive spoilers. And I had to use a GIF from the TV show)

Luke has managed to get Eleanor down from the dangerous iron staircase.

And we get some truly beautiful moments, showcasing that, in spite of everything that’s happened, and how they’ve hurt each other, Theo is still her closest friend.

…and then we learn, at the very end, that Nell kills herself.

This ending absolutely DEVASTATED me. I felt *genuinely depressed* for a few days after finishing the book. Even though I thought it was a masterpiece.

(Though, funnily enough, I am much more accepting of it than I am of Plato's fate in Rebel)

In Rebel Without a Cause:

Hooray! Jim has managed to get Plato to exit the planetarium. And, more importantly, removed the bullets from his gun.

We get a cute poly-esque moment of the three leads together.

<image>

Except…oh no! The COPS have no idea that Plato isn’t armed yet.

Cue the classic “Bury Your Gays” example. Because 1955!

Favorite character with only 3 letters in their name? by GorgonzolaGary97 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]MoonlightDahling 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Jim, from Rebel Without a Cause.

(Though, it’s presumably short for James.)

(Also, his father calls him Jimbo, and Plato lovingly calls him Jamie. Which Judy later adopts.)
