He fishes his jacket off the tile and deposits the earring into the pocket, leaves them both on the floor. Before he exits the bathroom, he studies his sterling reflection. He’s not who he once was. No Christ, no Jacob, no Jeremiah. And he shouldn’t be. Because he’s twenty-four karat, twinkling, not just otherworldly, unforgiving, untouchable, not just a god or a man—but a trophy at last.

actually, sometimes I really do feel bad for Harrison <3

#he's so baby here #very happy you think you're a trophy babe <3 #all of BB has been genuine losses for harrison and #I think this is actually a brief but very genuine win #the funny thing is he actually looks WILD here #cowprint cowboy hat? check #fur coat? check #just smothered his entire face in silver pigment? check #mascara on his eyelids? check #but he's actually TRULY confident here haha #I'm happy he sees himself in that mess <3 #from one chaotic 21-yr-old to another... get 'em!!!#also there are many greyson chance easter eggs here #(in the greyson chance special interest era again)#(which little known fact about me I was ENTRENCHED in as a 12-14 yr old lol)#and actually BB is a love letter to all of his music #putting little references here and there just because #end of feb and all of march were... astronomically difficult times for me #(which is the exact time I started BB HAHAHA)#and his music largely kept me going!#and YOU GUYS TOO!!!#anyway 'he's not who he once was' is a reference to the 'i don't want to be the man I was' lyric in “athena”#and the trophy bit i've already mentioned is a reference to the live version of “nobody”#where he goes 'i'm not the trophy you think i am'#which is actually not in the studio version #which to me is 80s pop vibes but in 2021 lol #ANYWAY the LIVE VERSION is a sad piano ballad of THAT #so anyway I love that the trophy line which is 'i'm not the trophy you think i am'#was cut from the studio version but is in the sad piano version lol #don't know how to more articulately describe harrison's psychology in BB except for... that
