in prosperity it's easy to let reverence fall to the wayside. It might wait patiently, for years are so little to something so ancient, but ultimately it will always return to test and renew your faith. it's not punishment, what It wants for you. it's just that the extreme inspires true faithfulness. sometimes I miss the scarcity of that place, the miracles stood out like jewels. like feasting after a long fast. It touched me, held me close, and spit me out.

I've said before that sprite and beedrills dynamic was once based on me and a friends and it grew to be something much more sinister and fictional and that is true.

However the one part that holds true to life is one person in the dynamic having the most broken fucked up phone known to man and the other person who is a tech expert being absolutely fucking mortified

Blue-Eyed Devil thoughts about halfway through:

—the lady who told Todd Hardy made her feel like a cheap whore and it was the best night of her life, braver than a US marine

—genuinely heartbreaking, but the way Lisa starts with a near-miss between Hardy and Haven, THEN goes into the trauma, THEN has them reconnect? that is a WRITER! the headiness! the melancholy of what could've been! the rebirth!

—listening to a man erotically describe fossil fuels as he kills the planet, it is what it is

—insane that he compared her eyes to dr. pepper and it worked

—one thing I think this book underscores that I do feel is missing from a lot of more recent contemporaries I've read is... eroticism? like, Hardy wiping the rain from Haven's face and the way they discuss wine and the way she so clearly WANTS him but doesn't know what to do about it...

deeeeply erotic, and I do feel like we've more recently been in kind of... a sea of slot A into tab B in contemporaries, which DOES NOT mean I don't love a fucking crazy explicit sex scene... I do.... Sierra Simone is one of my favorite authors

BUT Sierra Simone also makes sure to get into the psyche of her characters so deeply that there is an eroticism that is separate from the physicality of the sex she writes

and while the sex in these books is not as explicit, it's present, and the eroticism both SERVES the sex scenes and exists SEPARATELY from them

anyway

Hardy Cates I'm a huge fan

communion was made for the group. how do I adapt to a world where the entirety of our flock has been confined to a single body? in becoming closer to It, we consume together and eachother. but we are already as one, the boundaries between us have dissolved and we share the same flesh and blood. there's a new intimacy to our way, and I will figure out how to adapt. no way of life has gone entirely unchanged, and It would not allow such a scenario to endure in which we must wait and wither with nothing actionable in sight. there's always been a choice, even if it's the hardest one a person can make. it won't come to that point, now that the giving of One of us means the demise of us all. is this the second chance we've been given? a reprieve for all our faithfulness? like God's mercy after the flood, or the Angel interrupting Abraham's sacrifice. our turmoil has rewarded with the promise of a peaceful but rigorous future.

Look at Yourself

[tuituipupu]

everything comes to a head next week and i somehow forgot may started tomorrow in the process.

it's good to let things out like as much as i feel empowered knowing i can take action for better - i can still be sad about shitty, shitty decisions.

rage is powerful and there is also a strength in sadness! and a strength knowing you aren't alone in this feeling, but knowing you're doing the right thing. and being together. there is a comfort in that.
