i’m reading a very manly 1950s account of a hunt for el dorado but i’m thirty pages in and the narrator has already described his traveling companion as “handsome” 4 times, “extremely handsome” twice, “exceedingly handsome” once, his voice as “quietly husky” and “a husky whisper,” his fingers as long and deft, his body as “tall and cat-like,” and his eyes as some variation of ice-blue at least three times.
just men being dudes. dudes being pals. it’s great. this is great.
“Ever since he had aimed that gun at my throat, I had liked him immensely. And now I liked him even better.”

“I awoke when a beam of light fell across my eyes. Jorge had come into my room carrying a lighted candle.
‘I’m going with you,’ he said quietly.
‘I can’t pay you.’
He smiled. ‘I thought I was a partner?’”
OH MY GOD
according to apparently every adaptation of a search of el dorado, i think we can conclude that maybe the real el dorado was the homosexuality we found along the way

I thought I was going to be fired because I just kept laughing. I also thought it would be funny to say lines that weren’t in the script just to make others laugh and ruin their take. – Lucy Davis
Straight people know that you’re supposed to like your partner right? Like enjoy them as another human being?
There are times I seriously wonder.
A lot of straight women don’t know that, tbh
They know the man is supposed to enjoy them, but they don’t often consider what they want–and when they do, they usually stick to preferences they can choose, like participating in a subculture together, rather than the man’s actual personal qualities. The bar for how he treats her is only as high as how the men around her have treated her for her whole life. And men don’t treat women very well at all
And a lot of women don’t know that
There’s a lot of pressure to “just give him a chance” and “appreciate the fact he likes you” as if a man’s interest is something valuable.
