So, I'll just comment over here instead of via email, okay :)?
I'm happy to get your comments anywhere I can have them, lovely. /snugs
like Nikolai is telling this story about himself while feeling like a stranger in his own skin
You're doing it again, that bit where you tell me things about my writing that I never knew. It's almost eerie how often you do that, seriously. Because I've never thought of it this way before and you just hit the nail on the head with regards with the kind of storytelling here - that it's so detached, yet so intimate, that it's essentially Nikolai telling the story of himself to himself. In the sense of 'I'll write the end of my story and after that I will stop having a story.' /snugs you tightly.
I like the cryptic nature of all of their conversations which - at the same time - are so very clear and eloquent.
What they're saying makes a lot of logical sense, but the meanings are almost completely lost and escapes in what seems like thin air, really. Clear, yet ungraspable. I'm so, so happy that I managed to get that across because man, it seemed impossible when I was trying to do it.
LOVE this. Cowboy stays not only mysterious but potentially dangerous, and it's what draws Nikolai to him, whether he wants to or not.
You know, it's odd, because I agree about Cowboy's potential dangerousness, that he is deliberately mysterious and therefore unsafe. It's pretty much the sense I got from him in the movie. And this is odd because I managed to agree with you about this bit while disagreeing completely that Cowboy is the least sexual for me. His physical presence, the fact that we know nothing about him... I don't know, it makes him unearthly, but at least same time I find him intensely attractive because of that unearthliness. Because he's not a porcelain doll like Arwen or a regal figure like Galadriel; instead he's someone who 'roughs it out' and is unearthly because he works on a different realm of logic. It doesn't mean that he can't work on human logic; that he can't be egoistical, if behaving like that fit his particular brand of logic.
I'm not very sure if I'm being very clear. But basically: Cowboy is hot because of his unearthliness to me. And also his voice and his mouth, man. /breathes into hands
I do see why you're torn, and now I'm wondering if my rambling has nudged you towards one direction or another? :3?
