Ryan is THE white guy who really fucks with keeping the fire going. He's finding a big ass stick and he's poking those coals like it's his job.

Naim once threw a pillow at Ryan so hard it knocked him out of his chair and he busted his head on a table. He needed five stitches and sitting in the ED, after Naim's 80th apology, Ryan just shrugged and said "At least it was really you this time". Naim did not find this funny.

Naim's daily screen time clocks in at around 10 hours.

Ryan's phone screen is so shattered it sometimes leaves glass bits in your finger.

On the morning of his first real job interview, Ryan woke up with the biggest hickey either of them had ever seen. He found this much funnier than Naim did.

Chronic insomniac Ryan which sucks ASS because he can't leave the room for obvious reasons. So it's just a lot of him lying in bed staring at a shitty motel ceiling listening to Naim snore. He can't complain.

Naim gave himself a stick and poke of a bird. It looks like shit.

Their debit card once declined when all they were buying was lube and milk.

- after leaving Bandee, Ryan and Naim are super crazy about not having pictures taken of them publicly. So all of their city queer friends go “let’s take a group photo! Oh Naim and Ryan? They take the picture. They hate being in photos” And then one day someone discovered that both Ryan and Naim’s phones are fulllll of pictures of each other. Like lowkey obsessed with each other, and it doesn’t compute

- Ryan still likes to show off in front of Naim. Before Naim can even open the jar, Ryan’s already wrenched it open. Naim reaches for something on the top shelf, and suddenly Ryan’s pressed up against him, reaching higher.

- if you just heard a recording of them talking to each other, you’d never know they were together. Calling each other cunt, complaining, just being cocky. You’d assume they’re anti-PDA, if it weren’t that they couldn’t keep their hands off each other

Before moving to Bandi, Naim wasn’t as ‘bird crazy’ with his art, as hinted at with the short time we spend in his room. Instead focusing on human portraits and anatomy, a lot of it coming from people watching in the city.

Since moving to Bandi, he’s focuses shifts. I like to think that shift was to birds because they’re a physical reminder that there still is a world out there outside of Bandi. So he draws them everywhere, in his sketchbook, on the walls and doodles here and there. Anything to remind him that he can still fly away, that there is something still outside of Bandi, no matter how isolated he feels within the town.

Naim is a huge movie guy his ass is on Letterboxd and he writes lengthy reviews for every movie he sees. Which is hilarious considering Ryan has slept through half of every movie he's watched since he was nine. Naim has had to learn to make peace with this.

Ryan is terrible at rolling his own cigs, but he always tries, and he always fails, and Naim always laughs, and Ryan storms away in a huff saying "Well then you just fuckin do it then"

Contrary to popular belief they actually both suck at making friends. Naim hates meeting new people, Ryan grew up in a small town where he's had the same friends since primary school, they're both way out of their wheelhouse in a new city. Plus, they're both jealous cunts. My boyfriend can't think about other men if we don't meet other men.

Neither of them have read a full book since year eight.

Ryan would never tell him this but Naim is a nightmare to sleep next to. He snores, he thrashes around, he sleep talks. Sometimes it is endearing enough to make up for the amount of times he wakes Ryan up. Sometimes.

Ryan started got into so many fights in primary school it is a miracle he didn't realize he was gay sooner. Something something intricate rituals. He's gotten his nose broken twice.

Naim gets his first paycheck and both boys immediately walk to Maccas and order nine burgers. It's the best meal either of them have ever had.

Ryan's workmates all think he's lying when he brings up his boyfriend because his name is Naim. They're like "Mate you don't have to prove you're gay or anything, we get it" and he's like "No, no guys I swear I have a boyfriend he's real and he's super fuckin hot let me find a picture"

Naim never gets his license but both him and Ryan can't drive for shit.

Ryan gets this crazy chest pain and he starts hyperventilating and he's so sure he's having a heart attack and Naim's like I think this is just a panic attack and Ryan goes nah that shit doesn't happen to me I must be dying. Nope. Panic attack. This happens every single time he gets one by the way.

i staunchly believe that they tried smoking weed together exactly once in the first whole year post-baandee — ryan got his hands on a baggie from some guy at work who was selling for cheap & he thought, “why not??”, takes it home to naim in the evening. they’re young, and stressed, and something to smoke is something to smoke, so they go sit out on the grass together.

shotgun it back and forth (ends in a coughing fit), get a little way into the bag, and then ryan realises oh, fuck — he’s about to get paranoid as all hell and there are two violent semireal entities that lurk around him and naim, like, all the time. and hey, did that bush just rustle? did a twig just snap? is there someone hiding in the trees??

“shit, we— we should go inside,” ryan says, something really shifty and weird on his face, and then naim realises. and oh, shit, yeah.

they spend the next couple hours til the high wears off sitting on the couch clutching each other’s hands, lighters on laps, eyes wide open. there’s might not be any real risk of not-naim or not-ryan actually coming in right now, but that reality feels far away.

it’s funny, kind of. ryan keeps giggling out of the blue. naim says something absent about accidentally setting fire to his dick with the lighter in his lap.

- Ryan’s favourite thing in the world is when Naim initiates the kiss. It’s usually him, but when it isn’t, it’s a million times better

- Naim doesn’t miss Bandee, but he does miss the mill, especially back in the beginning of his and Ryan’s relationship. Ryan does too

- Naim and Ryan probably tell each other about their interactions with the Entities eventually, and start trying to recreate those moments between just the two of them instead. Like specifically going to a photo booth together
