I couldn't get on the Internet when you posted this, but it turns out all for the best, because this morning I was able to read and really enjoy it.
Thank you! He can consider it a belated birthday present, because I completely forgot to post anything for him yesterday.
Lovecraft in concept has never appealed to me particularly, but Lovecraft in his particulars--as described by you, here? Very much so! But maybe it's just that I enjoy seeing movies through your eyes.
I don't think there would be anything to appreciate through my eyes if there wasn't something in Lovecraft to begin with. He was never one of my formative authors, but he became interesting to me: I have my doubts that my responses to his work are the ones he was aiming for, but you find whatever resonates.
I loved what you said about the contrast between the first picking the actors for their faces and the second picking them for their voices.
I have noticed voices for some years, possibly because I've never felt I can do much of anything with mine. (Speaking—I am not Wittgensteinian about my abilities as a singer.) I suspect it's been heightened recently from hanging out with derspatchel. I was listening to auditions tonight.
There's a whole short story in that, I think. Something about humanizing and bestowing humanity.
For several years in college, I tried to write a short story about a person who has lost his essential identity and exists now only as a kind of self-made stock character, outside of which he is so nondescript, he is literally invisible, but I think it disappeared up its own metaphor. I gave the title to strange_selkie and she wrote a story that was actually good.
And this for kindness.
Hah. Thank you. I write about people that interest me.
