>>24959862sorry, this is full-tilt homo
>>24959873Is it? Charles pines after Sebastian for most of the book but Julia ends up being the love of his life
>evelyn waugh, male>george eliot, femaleWhat the fuck?
>>24959862The show with Anthony's scenes rocks. Highbrow delight.
>>24959884Am I crazy if I never quite got the sense that Charles had any attraction to Sebastian? It always felt one-sided on Sebastian's part.
>>24959873That's because there's no such thing as bisexuals. They're either men struggling with gay thoughts or women who want DEIA victim points but have never dated, kissed or had sex with another woman.

>>24959920It's because theres no such thing as "homosexual" (they're just mentally ill degenerates who spread disease and molest kids).
>>24959862Steppenwolf (or basically any book by Hesse)BOM
>>24959919Sebastian's attraction to Charles is shorter lived than the other way around. Charles falls out of love when he sees he's ugly now, but Sebastian falls out of love when he sees he can't care for Charles because Charles doesn't want to need him. Most of what Charles is in love with is his fantasy of the family, which is why Cordelia tells him off for judging her.
The tragedy of homosexuality is that it is the process of hopeless striving to embody the ideal in the real. The tantalizing eros which the lovers burn with cannot be realized in the world of flesh, only its promise, and this becomes both the goad and the whip, forever enticing, forever punishing. Age, the material realities of homosexuality, the secret, unfulfilled needs and urges of men in relation women (in many more senses than the merely sexual) - all of these, as leaden weights, drag the lovers down to the body of this death, leaving only the image of eros rising into the blue air, beckoning, next time, a little more, a little farther-- and this is the manner in which they will be punished in the life to come, for it is not a punishment from another but a punishment they give themselves, they the ever-tragic species of man, the secret fraternity, the mystery-cult of the erotic dream.

>>24959995>>24959919Charles was obsessed with Sebastian in their early days, but Sebastian hit twink death and he lost interest in him. But Sebastian was gay so he found some other dude and went to live in a monastery. That's how I remember it.
>>24960285IIRC they drifted apart because of Sebastian's rampant alcoholism more than him hitting twink death.
