#i'm losing my mind over jan's new photo can you tell

[me-sploh-rada-imas]

once again i am comparing the difference between how jan and nace hold their own faces compared to how jan holds nace...

they're distorting their own faces with the force of their hands. they're in distress, they're in pain. they're both affecting their vision with their hands - jan is holding his eye open, nace is holding his closed. jan even has a finger in his mouth to open it.

jan's hand is gentle! he's cupping the side of nace's face rather than gripping it, there's no distortion of the skin. he's carefully avoiding nace's eyes and the reason we can't see them properly is because nace is choosing to look at jan. and mirroring jan's solo photo, his finger is almost in nace's mouth, but without distorting it.

what i'm basically saying is that in these photos, they're gentle with each other in ways that they're not gentle to themselves.
