They call each other by their surnames trope + They use each other's first names in vulnerable moments trope.

Me: crying in the corner

I find it interesting how both Ellwood and Gaunt's injuries reflect what's most important to them. Ellwood's face wound and loss of an eye costs him his beauty and good looks, while Gaunt's chest wound loses him his strength and physical fitness.

but also that these traits are not important to the other person. Gaunt's love for Ellwood doesn't come from his handsome face - he loves his poetry, his passionate spirit.

likewise the moments Ellwood feels closest to Gaunt are those of emotional intimacy, where Gaunt shares his feelings in a way he wouldn't with anyone else - not his feats of strength or impenetrable toughness. he loves his vulnerability.

I like to think that the other's wholehearted acceptance is what helps piece themselves back together after the war

when the mutual pining and obliviousness is so good you just want to bang their heads together like rocks and listen to the hollow sounds it would make

Please reblog this I had to draw historically accurate military uniforms and I’m still not sure if this is the correct Light Brigade one 🐎

Read „In Memoriam“ by Alice Winn recently….it made me very sad but I loved it

[vicioustoker]

the first part of in memoriam before gaunt enlists breaks me in ways i can't even begin to explain what do you mean gaunt was looking at ellwood on the bridge heart breaking for so many different reasons (the white feather who was just given to him, the war, being labeled a traitor, ellwood being so close yet so far) and his thoughts went straight to "the bridge should break in half under the weight of us. i'm cracking up" five minutes ago you were drinking yourself into oblivion and now you're crumbling to pieces and turning into a poet because your best friend who you're not in love with and who's not in love with you pressed his lips to your cheekbone
