[late-to-theparty]

what if all your love and grief and rage and self-loathing about the loss of your wife were centered on one (1) man. who sees you, in turn, as the central point of all his love and grief and rage and self-loathing about the loss of his wife.

and you hate him, pity him, remember your wife's face every time you look at him. you remember that you caused his loneliness as much (or more) as he caused yours, and you remember the danger always close on his heels and the anger always under his tongue even while he begs for aid in the inhospitable world you threw him into.

and then you die--worse, you are sifted through death's fingertips for six months. your wife and daughter claw you back from the edge over and over.

and then he dies. he didn't have to. he was always going to. he trades his life for his son's.

you go to Death, and you ask for his life, and she asks for yours, here on the dotted line. you give it.

and from then on, the two of you share a heartbeat.

i don't necessarily hate the portrayal of bellini in the movie as this frayed nerves desperate man

it's understandable that aldo is freaking out because tedesco and/or adeyemi is about to become pope and undo the work the late pope (which lbr is also his work and as secretary of state he undoubtedly contributed to so in a sense it is his too)

the catholic church is older than him and will outlive him. it was hard to make it budge and even harder still is predicting what will become of it after he dies. all he wanted is to make sure that his life's work wouldn't be undone in his own lifetime.

Se fate particolare attenzione al volto tremendamente espressivo di Castellito, potrete percepire anche voi, dopo la conferma di Lawrence a "Ho capito bene, Afghanistan?", un potentissimo "Mecojoni" con l'accento più boro immaginabile

CONCLAVE (2024) dir. Edward Berger

[late-to-theparty]

oh nothing, just book lawrence and bellini being work husbands who have each other's backs...

....and praying together...

...and supportively sassing each other...

...and being soft ...

...and passing notes during conclave like schoolchildren...

AND WHATEVER IMPROMPTU 'GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE' REPRESSED TENDER ROMANCE MOVIE YEARNING BULLSHIT THIS IS

i'm crying, they're married, they're dating, they're confirmed bachelors, they're courting, they're besties, they're flirting, they're in love, they're everything to me, amen

Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)

Juniper

the ADIs

the "Be right back" feel

the whole early BM episodes feel, in fact

the fine print anti AI disclaimer in the Rivermind Lux ad

the pain, heartbreak, love, never faltering loyalty, humiliation, despair, acceptance

To summarise, I am indeed filled with dread.

I was going through my all links and found back some old Joey's interview. And I just wanted to share 3 seconds of Joey speaking italian with the interviewer 🥰

Having a bad day. Passing the evening painting with my gouache to settle down. And playing with TAD. Here is the fox for Madeleine, the "hidden" deer for Joey. And the spirit of the forest for both of them.

I am currently inspired by their gig in the forest.

I had Spotify on shuffle, got possessed by the spirit of shower day and ended up with this. (I haven’t drawn a human in a minute, that’s what getting a degree does to you)
