The Incorporeal Mind
Despite death or end is painful and shattering heart, it is a bitter truth and is much better than a meaningless false.
I changed my hair.
I cut my bangs and the strands clogged the drain in the sink as I cut you out of me.
How afraid you would have been. Of change. Of me.
How afraid you were of my slightest hitching of breath and how you smothered me. You cast me in wax and iced me so I would never melt, the perfect image, never changing, always static.
But I am a hurricane, and I don't need your approval, and I realized that as my hair fell from my brow. I lit the building on fire and the wax melted right off.
And now.
Oh, if you could see me now.
You would weep, for your fear kept at bay something so great, something so beautiful, you would fall to your knees.
How your fear cost you so much.
What a tragedy, but it's not mine.

Come with me and you'll be In a world of pure imagination Take a look and you'll see Into your imagination We'll begin with a spin Traveling in a world of my creation What we'll see will defy explanation...
Some day, I am going to write a treatise on how Oliver Quick based the logic for every single one of his choices in Saltburn on things he was actively, verbally told by other characters, and how this is a core character trait for Oliver that culminates in his choice to tell himself who he is by the end of the movie in his monologue to Elspeth's comatose body.
This treatise will also conclusively demonstrate that Oliver Quick is an impatient bitch who only gets more impulsive in his choices as the story goes on, up until he kills Felix and finally can wait as long as it takes to getback to Saltburn, because he finally knows for sure that the one friend he ever had will still be there in the same place and same state Oliver left him in no matter how long he takes to return.
For now, though, I have too many other things to finish and will not let myself be distracted by a project that will definitely take longer than the brainworms try to tell me.
But yes. It is one of my favorite details of Saltburn. If you listen like Oliver does, his logic may be a little mad, but it's not nonexistent. Every single choice he makes can be traced back to something someone says to him, because ultimately that poor lil' gremlin boy just desperately wanted to fit in and had no idea how to do that.
I wanted draw Midoriya going super sayian...
