freak shit is my new decoration

the fridge-freezer is in the kitchen. Not only are there dishes every day, not only are there food preparation surfaces of various kinds every day, not only are there crumbs and odds and ends that fall on the floor every day ... but the fridge-freezer is in the kitchen. The oven is in the kitchen, the food cupboards are in the kitchen, and above all THE KITCHEN BIN IS IN THE KITCHEN.

I mean, it's not like the bathroom is all sweetness and light, but seriously! Who in their right mind is choosing the bathroom?!?!?!?

#You can piss in the kitchen sink but you can't make lasagna in the shower

not about each of them individually, but about them as a duo acting together

there’s something utterly mad going on with these guys

AJ and Sam, when brought together, are like two highly dangerous chemicals being mixed without any safety precautions. You have absolutely no idea which way it’s going to go, but there’s a very, very high probability that things will at least escalate. 

AJ’s brilliant arbitrariness and his actions, guided nearly entirely by gut instinct, merge with Sam’s uninhibited willingness to go to extremes. 

As a result of that we get bizarre letters

hair-raisingly odd relationships 

and some really freaky shit

I feel like sometimes their energies clash so rapidly and so intensely that their first, instinctive reaction to each other is VIOLENCE

an absolutely ludicrous level on which these two synchronise with one another

both great singers

both very powerful men

who, in a menacingly intense way, increase each other’s madness

Your phone screams at you and displays an urgent message. There is a button to dismiss it.

What this means:

"Here is a message the UK government has decided it is of vital importance the majority of the public are aware of immediately. You can only read it on the screen of a device which is actively making as distressing a noise as we can force out of it. The only way to stop the screaming to make it easier to parse what is on the screen is to dismiss the message."

A+ design.

You may need to learn how to set up your paints and such… but this is what people did, live, while the show aired. That’s what the show was for. I had family members create lovely works of art they enjoyed, which I still have on my walls, because William Alexander and Bob Ross both said:

SCREW METICULOUS CLASSICAL ART PRACTICES — JUST GRAB A PALETTE KNIFE AND BIG OLD BRUSH AND PAINT!

They freed a whole generation of people who were taught to paint detail and realism and exact representation of reality — people who largely gave up this kind of thing because it got tedious.

I watched the joy of family members as they rediscovered art as a messy fun spontaneous half hour activity.

That aside, it is an interesting choice that Yoshiki in that scene calls 'Hikaru' "gross" (「キモいぞお前」 / "You're being gross, dude") for wanting to be with him, because that is the same thing that Hikaru called him in the past because of the same. It's a detail I actually didn't pick up on until I heard it out loud with the anime*.

「何？もしかして俺と離れたくないん？wwキモ〜」 "What? Could it be that you don't wanna be apart from me? Haha, gross~"

Yoshiki is haunted enough by this particular exchange that, when he's recounting the self-hatred and shame he associated to his sexuality in the manga, it's one of the things he thinks of. And 'Hikaru' of course doesn't fixate on the word in the way that Yoshiki does, presumably because he lacks the context behind, but he can still understand a rejection. He might not be human, and he might be clueless sometimes, but he's not stupid.
