Barty and Evan can’t say ‘I love you’

Barty, who can’t say ‘I love you’

but will give him little pokes for attention

Evan, who can’t say ‘I love you’

but will cuddle him even if they fight

Barty, who can’t say ‘I love you’

but will give him little gifts he made all the time

Evan, who can’t say ‘I love you’

But will do little annoying tasks for Barty that he knows he hates doing

Barty, who can’t say ‘I love you’

but will send him little things titled ‘Dis us’

Evan, who can’t say ‘I love you’

but will call him an Idiot all the time

Barty, who can’t say ‘I love you’

but will reply ‘your idiot’ every single time

Evan, who can’t say ‘I love you’

but will slightly smile at the statement

…

Barty, who can’t say ‘I love you’

But will do any psycho idea Evan has

Evan, who can’t say ‘I love you’

But will fight and get killed in order to protect his soulmate, Barty.

Barty, who can no longer say ‘I love you’ to Evan, in any way, shape or form.

But will put fresh flowers on his grave every single week

Barty, who can no longer say ‘I love you’ to Evan, in any way, shape or form.

But will spend his every living second, avenging Evan, torturing the man who took his love away.

Barty, who can’t say ‘I love you’

because those words are only reserved to one man.

…

Barty, who can finally say ‘I love you’

As he sees his other half waiting for him, in the gates to the afterlife

Evan, who can finally say ‘I love you’

One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Green Redux (+ Blue Redux)

Mission: Impossible (s2e18, "The Emerald") / Barbara Bain as Cinnamon Carter

Appropriately for an episode about an emerald, Cinnamon wears a brilliant green dress to lure a target into a high-stakes poker game. Although this episode aired during the 1967-68 season, the dress has some interesting features that look forward to the 1970s. It is long and narrow, gathered at the neck, with double shoulder straps and a slit up the side. A long, sheer, patterned panel of cloth hangs from the back like a cape.

" ‘Psychology is complicit in the creation of Western modernity. It is not a thing apart. Its disciplinarity, its history, and its legacies are tied up with the industrialization, commodification, the manufacturing, the replication and the reproduction of the human subject. How we think about what it means to be human, what it means to have agency, what it means to think, who has cognition, who doesn't have cognition — all of this is tied in with the historicity of psychology.’

Liam: Oh, no, what - what did you do, Jacky?

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ dream symbolism led me back to a podcast i once found deeply resonant and transcendent in a way that no other contemporary creation has, and i am grateful

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ so often the remedy is where we most tremble, where our eyes attempt to subvert their own vision and blur. and so, brought back to a fountain i know from which pours healing waters, i found a quiet courage and selected this from its recent episodes.

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ and i chose it, knowing i'd be faced with remaining receptive in uncharted territory. a leap of love, in a way.

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ i've not yet finished listening to it, as it's over two hours long and i'm listening while doing housework and having to take nose-blowing breaks because it is so moving in ways i can't yet articulate, but the chills i have felt and the weightlessness in the resonance of what my spirit recognizes as truth, the unburdening of my being, the softening of my guards- this episode is just as magnificent as the one i remember from the last time i needed to recenter and find strength.

· · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

˚˖𓍢ִ໋❀ it being this beautiful, i felt the need to share: for anyone who's feeling or has felt similarly isolated, alone, overwhelmed, overburdened, over stretched, glitching out, abandoned, doomed, cursed, and longing for anything approaching a safe landing spot, a stable foundation, a supporting hand, and/or just a safe place to BE, here's this from The Emerald 🖤
