gravity's thrall

Scott Hunter is trying to live his best modern rom com life and is side-eyeing the fuck out of these two. No idea what's going on there and franly doesn't want to

“scott hunter is right next door” scott hunter, 47 years old, has an elaborate sleepy girl routine - gel pads, mouth tape, noise cancelling headphones, bonnet, eye mask - that he has to peel out of every morning. he is not hearing you guys suck and fuck

Have you ever really thought about how when you look at the moon, it’s the same moon Shakespeare and Marie Antoinette and Van Gogh and Cleopatra looked at.

Sure AFTG is painful and soul-crushing but for a brief moment it becomes comedy GOLD once you realize that Jean looking to Jeremy for translation once he was compared to “a rhino in a tea shop” in TGR is the Jerejean equivalent of Neil sitting in the Hemmicks’ dining room and looking to Andrew of all ppl for guidance once Luther bowed his head & started praying lmao

momentarily had the thought “shout out to my platonic harem” and then remembered that’s called friends

What most people forget is that when Andrew calls Neil a junkie, he does not mean he's addicted to Exy. By 'junkie', he literally means that Neil chases the adrenaline rush that comes with the close calls and impossible plays, which is also how he 'plays life'.

Aaron's the type of guy to diagnose people in his mind. Like he's learned about neurodivergence and he subconsciously puts diagnoses to people. He recognizes signs of autism in Andrew, and even though they aren't always on the best terms, he wordlessly accommodates him. He sees signs of autism in Kevin as well, so he's more blunt with him. More to the point, because he knows Kevin struggles with social nuance. With Nicky he's started carrying around a fidget to hand him when he's extra all over the place. And it took Nicky months to clock it. And he pretends not to care about Neil, but Neil is important to Andrew so he's important to Aaron. He sees the ADHD and the autism and starts accommodating in little ways. Less eye contact, less comments on how Neil is always moving, more mindful of his volume around Neil when he can see he's already overstimulated. Nothing big, wouldn't want Neil knowing he cares even a little.
