I really fuck with these arabic logos of ikea stylised to look like little house interiors

no, but if you think about it, that line “a man who knows what he wants and he takes it” is insane.

#i don’t think ruben gave niall a chance to explain himself after the confession - he cut him off cold turkey#even if it hurt him too i imagine he just could not even look at niall after that without trying to break the glass divider#the thing is niall knows what he wants - ruben- and he never does take it#because taking ruben has never been a ‘possibility’ in his mind#he can break up his marriage and gift him a kid but niall can’t TAKE him he can’t tell ruben he loves him Like That#not until he’s cornered in a barn and niall has nothing left to lose or hide or anything so he gives it up tells ruben the terrible truth#i feel like those lines are almost goading???#ruben has known niall has wanted him since - who knows maybe from the very start could see it in his eyes#because they’re his eyes too they’re reflections and the same and what’s in niall’s eyes are in ruben’s too#and ruben sees that niall isolated him - he took his wife he took his fatherhood he took his freedom#(but those are all things ruben did himself but they’re the same you know they share everything#what niall does is what ruben does is what niall does is what ruben does)#and niall is married and niall has two sons and ruben is - like richard gadd said he’s a ‘dying bull’ at the wedding#niall took ruben’s life but niall doesn’t want it because it’s not with ruben#and it’s just like university where ruben is telling niall they’re meant to share everything#that niall’s meant to have what ruben can’t he’s not meant to have anything without ruben#and we see that in those two years where ruben gives niall everything without niall even knowing#and we see that post-hospital where ruben and niall are again entrenched in each others lives like they’re teens sharing a bedroom again#niall can only have what ruben gives him that’s the natural order for ruben#and niall cannot have ruben because ruben couldn’t give him himself in that way#so niall took everything else - being married having sons a life and a family#that’s niall’s meant to share with ruben#but they never had that talk and they never got to share like they wanted to#and ruben never got the chance to give niall himself#and niall never got the chance to take what he really wanted

no, but if you think about it, that line “a man who knows what he wants and he takes it” is insane.

Honestly I keep coming back to one of the alternate meanings of “take,” the more passive one

“The police spend very little of their time dealing with violent criminals—indeed, police sociologists report that only about 10% of the average police officer’s time is devoted to criminal matters of any kind. Most of the remaining 90% is spent dealing with infractions of various administrative codes and regulations: all those rules about how and where one can eat, drink, smoke, sell, sit, walk, and drive. If two people punch each other, or even draw a knife on each other, police are unlikely to get involved. Drive down the street in a car without license plates, on the other hand, and the authorities will show up instantly, threatening all sorts of dire consequences if you don’t do exactly what they tell you. The police, then, are essentially just bureaucrats with weapons. Their main role in society is to bring the threat of physical force—even, death—into situations where it would never have been otherwise invoked, such as the enforcement of civic ordinances about the sale of untaxed cigarettes.”

since i think many will have had the memory slip with just how many other atrocities have occured in the past 11 years, or are simply too young to remember, the last bit about the sale of untaxed cigarettes isn’t just some hypothetical, it’s a reference to the killing of eric garner
