#I sent a dry

[heythered3lilahsblog]

I finally did it. Wrote 3 long pages for this friend who's practically family (or at least that's what I like to think) but now that it's their birthday, im freaking out. Took a lot of guts for a scaredy-cat like me to spill my heart out like this. And now, im too nervous to actually hand it over. What if they read it in front of everyone? (or even just in front of me? shoot, pls im not ready for that kind of stuff) ive poured out stuff ive never even said out loud. Holding those pages, my palms are sweaty, and my vision's blurry from the tears. I can't even breathe right. How am I supposed to face them after giving this? im tempted to just rip it all up, but part of me wants them to know, even if it terrifies me.

Henry thinks that maybe, just maybe, if he keeps his hands where they are, Alex might not bleed out - and the thought that he's the only thing standing between this man and the collapse of Henry's own universe is absolutely fucking *terrifying.*

Henry thinks that maybe, just maybe, if he keeps his hands where they are, Alex might not bleed out—and the thought that he's the only thing standing between this man and the collapse of Henry's own universe is absolutely fucking terrifying. Alex’s breaths are short and choppy under Henry’s palms, but that devastating grin, the one that knocked Henry’s knees out from underneath him the first time they met, is still firmly in place, albeit a little more tremulous than usual.

“Damn, H—don’t you think you should buy a guy dinner before you feel him up?”

And that’s—that’s almost too much for Henry to bear. How Alex can be teasing him at a time like this, let alone about the feelings Henry has worked so hard to keep hidden from the man whose blood is currently covering Henry’s hands to the wrist, Henry cannot possibly understand; except that, when he risks another glance at Alex’s face, there’s a flicker of vulnerability in his wide, brown eyes that Henry knows, instinctively, can only mean Alex is, for once in his life, achingly sincere.

“How about we save your life first and then dinner, shall we, darling?”

How fortunate am I to have so many Things to love and be excited about, to appreciate and look forward to?

Things I feel so strongly about that they stumble into my mind, univited, at random times of the day? Things that spill into my speech and vocabulary without me noticing? Things that impact my vision to the point where everywhere I look, everywhere I go, I see ghosts of them?

How lucky am I to have so many Things I love and cherish enough for them to reshape my very person, change my beliefs and make me grow? Things that make my own loved ones see the Things out in the wild, and go out of their way to make sure I see them too?

How wonderful is it that I have Things that I love so much that the very act is deemed and dubbed "not normal", making my love for them seem like it's more than they are supposed to recieve? An out-of-the-ordinary and above-the-norm appreciation for the Things that make the people around me shake their heads, call me "silly".

My dear, beloved Things, may I always stay silly for you ❤️

i fucking love prereading. getting documents about what's going to be discussed in a meeting and reading them and then going to the meeting and having context for all the things that are happening. if i could do this in all areas of life i would. send me a list of the words i'm going to need the definition of in order to understand what you will be talking about. give me a rundown of what topics might come up during this social encounter. provide detailed documentation of what to expect in a new setting. i will read the fuck out of that shit.

just try to calm down, Lee. Maybe call one of your brothers?

Finales for Michael + Claire

Yo - someone has already broken down that the last/second-last images in each season finale were basically the same, right?

At any rate, I'm going do it again, because my tiny brain only mashed these two things together today. Apologies for the lack of stills.

We have flashback Mikey looking at Carmen reverently in sunlight-sepia hues at the close of season 1, then a big smile, hot on the heels of Carmy genuinely connecting with everyone at family meal - it lets Mikey's belief in his brother linger over the finale, a sense of continuation and partial closure.

The quixotic part of Radiohead's Letdown blasts us off to the credits. IMO, it was one of the most hopeful and tenderhearted moments in TV history.

In the season 2 finale we have flashback Claire, sepia-hued with her coy smile immediately cutting to a dejected Carmy in the walk-in as the welder creates "fireworks" akin to what we see behind them in Pop. There's a sense of continuation, but no closure - it just tells the audience to settle in for more regression in S3, just as we thought we were out of the woods with that experiment.

Michael Stipe walks us out with "Go it alone and haul it along" before it cuts to Syd, proud and abandoned, the song progressing into the credits.

I always felt like that last, longing look from Claire was the biggest crotch-kick from the Storer universe - it felt like an erasure of all the progress and connecting-of-dots that Carmy was working out throughout the latter half of the season, and I guess that's the material point of it all.

Maybe we have to watch this man chase familial myths and phantoms for another season, to the detriment of The Bear, his happiness, his earnest relationship with Syd, and everyone else around him. I'm not sure if he'll actually try to repair things with Claire in a fit of desperation/self-doubt, but it seems like she'll haunt him through his inevitable breakdown at a minimum.

I'm curious about how the writers engineer this without the audience feeling perpetually flogged. I also wonder how they will manage to empower Syd until Carmy starts putting shit together again.

I wish I had more endearing sydcarmy parallels to offer here tonight, but this was eating at me and now someone in the fandom needs to talk me off a ledge.

desperately trying to adapt my mindset so that instead of worrying that someone is secretly mad at me/hates me/that i've inadvertently done something wrong i just let it go. cuz logically if they're not willing to clearly communicate that i've upset them then it's not my problem & i can't dwell on it... and i could actually just be stressing over nothing... that would be the healthy thing to do wouldn't it??? but unfortunately i'm failing LMAO send help
