Casting me as the love interest to a hot 40-something

Look can be milfs, dilfs, whatever, I’m not picky All I ask is that we play characters with the following dynamic: they help me learn my new magical powers that I’ll use to save our kingdom; they‘re the weary con artist that teaches me how to survive the seedy crime underworld I’m investigating as a young but scrappy PI (private investigator not perfectly imperfector); they‘re a writer, director, filmmaker, etc. who‘s blocked artistically and I am the muse that re-inspires them (eventually realizing I don’t need them and can make my own work); etc. I don’t believe this is asking too much! just aspiring to be the talia Ryder to someone’s Sean price Williams, the ivy wolk to Sean baker (why are they all named Sean), the Greta to noah baumbach (ok not all named Sean but mostly)

the Sons of lee marvin

So I’m learning about Jim Jarmusch bc I’m watching Stranger than Paradise and I saw that he started a “tongue-in-cheek” “secret society” of men who look like they could be the sons of 1950s actor Lee Marvin. Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, Josh Brolin, and the protagonist of Stranger than Paradise, among others, have been inducted into the Club. Details of their activities are hazy. Crucially: I finally have a crisp way to describe cartoony full-lipped bowling pin head white man physiognomy [e.g. Bret Easton Ellis, Ron Perlman, Anthony Bourdain]

Tom ripley

Alain Delon is the slick predator. Dennis Hopper is the wildcard. Matt Damon is the bleeding heart. Malkovich is Malkovich. Barry Pepper is the invisible kid. Andrew Scott is the black hole. I wrote about all of the on-screen Ripleys on my substack:

remember Palestine

The occupation persists, the oppression persists, the torture persists. The occupiers are psychotic and their work is never finished. People who’ve paid attention won’t be surprised by this photo from Gaza.

hello

I’m 50, I say because that makes me unusual in this context. I paid [redacted] for a ticket to the Eras Tour after listening to tswift for 3 weeks, and it was worth it. In second grade my teacher gave kids birthday spankings over her knee, and in sixth grade my teacher told my mom I hadn’t blossomed yet. I’m a good friend, mostly to people on the internet. I’m good at conversing with strangers. I’m usually the oldest person at the show but don’t feel like it. I’m good at being helpful. I’m sarcastic and funny and make myself laugh. I’m a good graphic designer and a conscientious driver. I’m a good photographer and I can successfully follow recipes. I don’t use my Peloton enough. I did a lot of caregiving for my mom for several years, and we enjoyed spending time together even if it was mostly in waiting rooms and my car. The fastest I ever ran a mile was eight minutes and six seconds. I drove the same car for 20 years and then replaced it with another one. I enjoy tipping, giving money to people on the street and Disneyland. I am a fan of baseball, Formula 1 racing and the Criterion Channel. I solve about 80% of New York Times crosswords. I take Prozac and Wellbutrin, and take Trazodone to sleep through the night. I wish I had a glassed in solarium so I could sleep in it on rainy nights. I would like to have a pet cat and a garage. I could happily live eating only cereal and fruit. I overshare on the internet and undershare elsewhere. ✌️💛
