someone pointed out that if you switch the genders, jack dawson just becomes a manic pixie dream girl. and you know what? they're not wrong

it's actually very easy to watch titanic and interpret jack as a butch lesbian tbh

highly recommend it

lmaoooo too real. and honestly? i do think titanic is pretty rad for being focused on rose's character arc

silver bullet oh i like that

silver bullet : oh man now i need to do that

loool omg that checks out

i had a student write me a paper about how titanic and great gatsby were in the same cinematic universe and jack dawson not only survived, but stole the heart of the ocean, sold it, and started his life as jay gatsby that way

he made a compelling argument

omggggggggg

that sounds magical

I wanna read that ngl

it wasn't even assigned! he just got the idea and was like "would you read it if i wrote it"

and sent it to me with the subject line "extra credit points? lol"

but like honestly it was very well thought out HE DID RESEARCH ON HOW LONG THE AVERAGE HUMAN CAN SWIM AND HOW LONG IT TAKES HYPOTHERMIA TO SET IT

so i gave him five points on his lowest score

ooooh

there's a solid argument to be made about Jack as a trans guy
