Thinking thoughts

i wrote about design for living & challengers in relation to each other last year for an unpublished essay on threesome movies. in celebration of the upcoming watchparty, here's a paragraph:

Challengers is surprisingly close to Design for Living in narrative. A threesome past haunts the principals, two talented men are inspired by the patron Mother who does not do the same work, the trio fail at monogamous relationships before finding three-way unity. Both Gilda and Tashi end up in convenient marriages that represent their dissatisfaction not only romantically, but in their identities and careers as well. This similarity in particular illuminates why both these films work where some others with similar premises don’t. Polyamory isn’t the point, it’s the setting. The domination of monogamy impacts all facets of life. A woman’s conventional role extends past fidelity. She is expected to sacrifice everything for her husband: her individuality, her labor, her spirit. Gilda and Tashi both succumb to then fight against this loss — the polyamory is almost incidental. It’s only evidence that they are no longer victims of patriarchal exchange.

last goodbye - your boyfriend that you had met through the challenge, panic. Wanted to travel the world but you wanted a different path, resulting you both in having to split. Before he leaves, you need to tell him your last goodbye.

dream brother — after being cheated and left by natalie, he decided enough was enough. It was hard enough trusting someone new, now when meeting you. His barriers were harder to crack. He didn’t want you to be like the one who made him feel old and used, pushing you away when he realized he was falling for you.

so real — when your ex needs a place to stay, he confesses his continuing love while you confess your fear of it, he’s willing to prove why you don’t have to be.

lover, you should’ve come over — after losing tashi, art and then you. He realized his wrong doings, his struggle of committing because he was ‘too young’ and too deaf dumb and blind to see the damage he’d done, he was always wondering where you were because, damn he needed you. he tried to be better especially for you when he meets your eyes at a bar, after meeting eyes, he gets a chance to follow you, when you offer help. He has to decline until he watches you walk away.

Art Donaldson

forget her — you, tashi’ bestfriend knew that she was cheating on art with his bestfriend, now you knew it was wrong and you never admitted it but you had feelings for art, here was your chance to slip in and convince him to finally forget her after he’d found out.

mojo pin — after your breakup with your ex, art. He turned to drugs and that had impacted him and his choices. He was constantly calling you, cursing you out through text, crying through voicemails for you. What other choice did you have but to visit him and help him?

Connor Murphy

grace — he had to admit, he wasn’t afraid to die and leave the pain he had, though..he met you. Someone with the same tendencies as him, a complete stoner, depressed. Everything that he had and what he did. maybe life wasn’t so bad when you both were ready to die together but stayed for each other. Now, someone had loved him for real.

finnick o’dair

lilac wine — you had lost your the love of your life, the one who you had married not too long ago and the one you were going to have children with, you turned to alcohol. You knew it wasn’t traditional and it wasn’t healthy but did you care? No but only for one reason, you saw your lover all over again. You weren’t exactly what it was. His ghost? A demon? Not sure but it made you happy. It made you excited to start the day but one thing you knew was that it had to stop, you had to put an end to this.

Love is only a feeling

ethel x arttashi… i’m shaking

You keep saying you came here because Art needed matches… I think you came for something else. You think I came here for you? You think I came here to throw it all away for you? Maybe you just wanted to see me. I have seen you, you look like shit.
