???

do u think with time henry got specially loud/handsy when he and Sidney slept together to make up for ellwood having only half of the visual input

When the boys I spent the whole book preemptively grieving are still alive at the end: 😮

ellwood says he'll write gaunt's in memoriam but when the time comes for it, he's so grief-stricken he only manages one stanza for him

do you think he ever remembered gaunt telling him ‘you are the poetry’ and thought ‘you were so wrong’. Henry was the poetry for Sidney, and with him gone so were any words ellwood ever wanted to come up with

actually what the fuck

shall we speak about how the couplet from sonnet 20 ellwood writes on gaunt's wall is both a dick joke (prick'd thee out instead of picked thee out) and him saying the ladies can have his body but he want to have his emotional devotion? ellwood being a sappy/filthy loverboy PEAK

even more insanely lover-boy behavior considering ellwood was, um, particularly fond of gaunt’s prick lmao 😭 and he still thought ‘FUCKING FINE, whatever. They can have you carnally, but i get you’
