karmotrine dream

i actually dont think anyone told ruben about the wedding i think he woke up one day and could tell niall was pledging his life to someone that wasn’t him like a whistle that only dogs can hear

what if after job interview you catch a glimpse of the person’s notepad & see they wrote “things have learnt to walk that ought to crawl”

We're smoking all we have left One hit and youll realize it was always going to end like this

when people use their laptops on the train i'm like is anything really THAT serious

taking issue with people sexualizing half man even though eroticism is literally a core tool the show uses to put us into the headspace of a protagonist who feels simultaneously terrified of and attracted to his abuser, who has been both aroused by and irreparably damaged by the things that have been done to him... if the use of eroticism in stories about abuse makes you uncomfortable i get it, its for sure not a tool to be wielded lightly, but sometimes it does serve a purpose and especially in the case of half man i think that to feel all the same feelings niall is feeling (arousal included) is to experience the show exactly as it was intended, like i really dont think richard gadd did All That just to have us sit quietly in our pews and not feel the terrifying heat behind ruben and nialls every interaction, in fact i think that to feel it is at the very heart of the human experience gadd is trying to convey with this story
