From the River to the Sea

“Raw milk is better for you as long as you boil it” so true bestie now imagine if we could like. Super boil it. To really get all the bacteria out. And if we could do that quickly and efficiently. Imagine that.

i used to strongly resist this reading but i've actually come around to the idea that shane is imagining ilya jerking off in the shower so he can get off with rose, rather than the shower scene being something that actually happens. and i've come around to this reading because i think it's soooooo gut-twistingly angsty to imagine that shane doesn't let himself imagine the two of them together. he doesn't get to think about ilya kissing him or touching him or moving inside him because that's over. he doesn't get to have that again. this is what he has now. and he can go somewhere else in his head if he has to, he can let himself fantasize about ilya because he's weak, but he has to think about ilya furious, cold, punishing. untouchable. because shane left, and he can't go back, and he knows now that ilya wouldn't want him even if he did.

This isn't just for cults either! Shitty partners, bosses, friends - they all do variants of this where if you kick back the first time they make an unreasonable request, it proves you weren't ever committed since you'd let such a small thing ruin everything. And of course, if it's the third or the tenth unreasonable thing they ask of you, it's SUCH A SMALL THING to be a deal-breaker at this late point in your relationship!

emotional intelligence is really nonnegotiable to me i can't tolerate anybody who needs to be walked through how to be a decent human being

It is extremely rare that I get unintentionally rickrolled. It is extremely common that I look at a link and think to myself, that's a rickroll, and I click on it. Then I get to enjoy the satisfaction of being correct, as well as the entirety of Never Gonna Give You Up. That shit is a banger. If someone offers me a link directly to that song you think I'm not gonna take it? No. You know the rules and so do I. It's Astley time.
