I think people forget about Chloe too much when they talk about fight club. She is the only real character outside of Project mayhem that Narrator can half stand. She's the only real character that represents the outside world in any real way. Marla is too detached from real life to provide any kind of normalcy or to contrast the Narrator and Tyler, since she is heading towards bottom, as Tyler himself even says.
I think Chloe is more important to the story than she's given credit for. She represents some real life, in the same kind of way Bob does. She is a normal person, she probably went to work and had friends and maybe began to think about a family. Then she gets cancer, and suffers enormously, and then she dies.
I think part of it (like with Bob) is that the Narrator recognizes that they didn't deserve their deaths. They did nothing wrong, they hurt nobody. They did everything they were supposed to, yet they still suffered and died feeling completely isolated from the people around them and the people who used to be in their life had left them.
But he did nothing right. He runs an underground fight club, he commits crimes, he steals, he threatens, he beats and destroys, he cooks down parts of people into soap and sells it without batting an eye. He let's other young men get dragged into it all, he is the real source of the issues, not Tyler. He refuses to even consider that he was to blame for things.
And yet, he's fine. He survives, he enjoys his time, he connects to somebody, he is surrounded by people practically falling over themselves to help him and do whatever he says. Chloe and Bob died, alone, and he lives, void of any consequence.
Two different types of love
Ladies ladies one at a time!!!!
do you think they made the narrator’s boobs into soap after his top surgery?
i made this like 5 months ago and never posted it
I need to draw Narrator as the unhinged psychopath he is. He thinks he is this loser and that Tyler is the part of him he wants to be. On the outside he’s the guy who is putting his cigarettes out on his arm and making homemade pipe bombs in his underwear. You are not some lovable pathetic loser you are a domestic terrorist who openly talks to himself.
Space monkey pov. This is the guy you’re throwing your life away for?

Shout out to scenes in horror movies where a sadistic psycho tries to harm a guy but said guy is probably in love with the psycho and accepts said attempted harm as a form of intimacy, ends up weirding the psycho out and disappears from the movie entirely
who up thinking about movie angel face. what if you were a boy and your role in the narrative was to make the protagonist realize that what he's feeling towards the 'relationship' between you and the man you idolize is jealousy. what if he brutalized you specifically because of it
something about the fact that angel face is described as a pretty boy just adds to the homoeroticism of the relationship btwn the narrator and tyler. just so happens that the guy that incites the narrator's just so happens to be a younger prettier man, because isn't that the fear, that a partner's eyes might wonder to someone younger, prettier? and to have the narrator specifically beat his face in to try just feels like a redirect for his frustrations towards that towards this 'beauty'. (it's for a different reason in the book granted)
something something about a younger man trying to find community and finding them. how cruel it is for him to face take a beating that left him disfigured from one of the leaders he idolized (or i guess. the leader) and for him to be so twisted up that he seemed happy about it. even being referred to as angel face could be interpreted as either he's pretty or he's young, babyfaced in the way that angels are meant to convey a sense of innocence and in the movie the narrator takes that away from him. the feature that stood out enough to grant him his namesake was taken from him and maybe it was to strip him further of identity or maybe the narrator was just upset he wasn't the apple of tyler's eye anymore and that was a fine enough target
he's used like a spark in the movie, little things he does irritate the narrator and are used to emphasize the distance thats growing between him and tyler. i love his role in the narrative there
Choosing to lie to myself and tell myself that fighting was the only time Narrator felt something so naturally Tyler would only feel nothing when fighting

Hey, Tumblr. You like non-stereotypical depictions of autism? What about ✨ neurodivergent protagonists ✨ ? Yes? What about asexual neurodivergent protagonists that go on chapters-long rants about their special interests? You want gay characters that are important to the plot too? Then I've got the book for you! The author is gay!!! American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis, is

I will not accept the propaganda that tyler is incapable of being affectionate ok. him holding narrator in his arms after the car crash was not necessary. he didn't have to start crying after the chemical burn. he is so touchy with narrator in the book. he openly acknowledges that narrator loves him and doesn't seem to be emasculated by it. I don't think it comes very easy to him since his purpose is to be assertive and masculine but he's certainly capable of showing affection for reasons that go beyond just trying to manipulate narrator.... much to think about
