Because the prophet, the revolutionary, the messiah, the human embodiment of a cause is … godtouched; he or she sees and feels and moves through the world with divinity of some kind or another running through his veins. It doesn’t have to be literally divine - though it usually is in some way - but it is something that lifts them beyond, that makes them holy to other humans, and when that happens, when disciples gather, they love him or her for it, they become utterly devoted.

And even if the prophet loves back, even with all the love in the world; his highest realm of love is reserved for something mere mortals cannot touch; his eyes lift over and beyond the horizon of reality, they look towards something greater. for the disciple, the love is the greatest and smallest part of that glory they can ever hope to hold.

it’s hard enough if you just love the prophet wholly, for who they are, for the ideal they embody, for their divinity

but to be loved back, to have that, but to know that no matter what that their love for you can never measure up to the engulfing love you feel for them, because so much of the prophet is sacred space, reserved, devoted to something beyond human, to the transcendence, the divinity, the cause - not even consciously, it’s just their nature -

that. that is cruel.

i can’t say it well, just read this poem, and this one

i don’t know how to be loved properly.

on growing pains & the wounded inner child

THE HORRIFIC INTIMACY OF SURGERY AND DISSECTION.

on falling for the one person you shouldn't

this staged affection, a mix of theatricality and intimacy, the couple holding still for a couple of moments and now immortalised in a very set sequence of embraces and kisses. there is a charm to it even when I can’t tell whether this was a genuine couple portait or just actors hired by the photographer.

let us start with the kiss on the cheek (eyes averted! oh the pose! these were taken between 1910-1940)

or the nearly opposite energy (how daring!) of the kiss or caress with direct eye contact (1910-1930)

and then the innocent – yet so flirty – classic of the park encounter! (1890-1920)

and oh, I am not done, look at this – the adoration of the woman! look at this expression, this pose, this decorum! (1910-1940)

and then some of my favourites from the more playful or direct category, enjoy (1910-1930):

My early Christmas gift to you: every single RARE audio track I could find that features Fall Out Boy in some way. I specifically dug for stuff that isn’t on FallOutBoyVevo or that isn’t obvious when searching “fall out boy” on iTunes. I excluded almost all (but one, i think) of the various remixes that are all available for purchase in iTunes. Other than that, this is as exhaustive as possible, with the best quality I could find. If I missed something or miscredited anything, hmu.

These are all safe links to downloadable mp3 tracks via Dropbox. Enjoy!
