#its 2am i should be sleeping

Sergio Leone really loves to write his characters in subtle ways. I think really well shown with how the trio is named. Tuco is the only one who actually uses his real name, even the complete version at times. He doesn't hide his identity like Blondie nor does he let his work persona overtake him like Angel Eyes. It certainly makes him feel more authentic, and most importantly, more human, which is a theme surrounding his character. He isn't ashamed of his origins and who he is, which sure it can be a bad thing due to what he's done, but I think it adds to his character, and makes key scenes like the confrontation with his brother all the more emotional and poignant (especially specific lines in that scene, like when he said he had no option to 'opt out' like his brother did, and enforces the suggestion that his brother makes that their parents actually quite liked Tuco; itd thereby follow-up that Tuco has pride in his origins and thereby the names given by his parents. Perhaps they only had a strained relationship due to poverty? Or do I just want to find more socialist ideals in media I like??). And all that messaging is conveyed just through his name!

I think smth similar can be said with Blondie and Angel Eyes, just as a contrast. Which makes sense because they're meant to be more mysterious and supernatural. But the naming of these characters is also quite smart. Blondie is a name given by Tuco, which makes their partnership all the more intimate, especially since Blondie is only 'Blondie' when he's with Tuco. But ofc that indicates he didn't start out as Blondie, so despite the intimacy there's also a sense of mystery. Angel Eyes most likely got his name from his job since that's what outsiders, and people that hire him, call him by. It really goes to suggest how as mentioned above, Angel Eyes most likely stopped blurring the lines between his real persona and work persona. Which adds imo adds to the eerie vibe he has going on. Idk, there's a certain type of horror to a guy who doesn't let himself have no limits to what he's willing to do, to the point that it fundamentally changes him as a person. Which is shown by his actions, and supported by his choice of name.

Hopefully I made sense, idk how else to describe it. Unique names that tell a story aren't uncommon in fiction, but I think the naming choices in GBU are particularly interesting, and indicate what the character and their arcs will end up like.

There's definitely more that can be said (ie, Angel Eyes being called 'Angel' Eyes despite unambiguously representing a darker side of morality, how his alternative name Senteza also adds onto the "force of nature" theme Angel Eyes has going on, how it makes him seem less "bad" and more "neutral" in the sense that he's only acting how people deserve to be treated, and how that alt name can even be stretched to have divine meaning as God is often known as a "judge" that will bring judgment to mankind in the future, etc etc etc) but this is already far too long and it was meant to be a quick post

What's the tldr?....... its that I keep finding more and more reasons to have Leone as one of my fav directors. Will anyone ever cook as hard as he did?

Touch. — jkk

Touching him was like touching clean dry silk sheets, everything about him looked as such, glowing in the summer sun, like gold glimmering just for the taller to see. Skin soft under his firgertips, treating him like a rarity, like he was some sculpture not yet ready to be polished, in his golden eyes a sparkle, like this was also surprising to him, not the touch per see, but the way he was being treated.

Jimin smiled, his face taking place in the others palm, all the gold in his eyes desapearing when they closed, Jungkook felt lost in the myriad of fellings and ways he could go about this, like a wave taking form he moved swiftly, barely blinking — all uneven puffs of air and wavering beats of his heart, his hand slid until his pointer finger was directly under the other's chin.

— Please tell me I'm not seeing things.

The smaller only looked at him now, face all flushed, eyes glimmering, hair a bit disheveled, hands trembling.

— I doubt you are.

His voice sounded like honey, sweet, slow, alluring, maybe Jungkook would go crazy even before he could end what he started.

— Tell me later then.

Jimin himself inched closer, their lips meeting in the middle, starting a dance of lips, tong and sometimes teeth. Jungkook kissed like a madman, all pushing and pulling, breath uneven, urgent as if Park could vanish anytime from his touch, his presence, the smaller one only let himself be kissed, much more delicate, loving the feeling of being owned by a kiss, head dizzy, and thoughts gone.

When they touched, it felt like two worlds coliding in their own way, forming a new planet of feelings. Whan they touched everything around reformed, evolved and transformed into new colors as if it was watercolor. Then they kissed the earthquake was as big as one could get yet as gentle as life can be.

And then, Jungkook gave Jimin a last peck.

— Was I? Seeing things, i mean.

— I think we should kiss again, so I can decide.

I like 16 Dazai using every little oportunity he has to be clingy with Chuuya. Pulling the boy's head onto his shoulder whenever they're on the subway heading back to Yokohama after an exhausting mission, holding his hand every time they're walking next to each other even though Chuuya might not notice and just let it happen, hugging him tightly to "annoy him", but he just knows this is what he needs.

Ask follow up questions 🗣

You know, actually try and find information about the person you're talking to thats deeper than just, for example, finding out the name of their favourite movie. Ask them why its their favourite, would they recommend it, how does watching it make them feel, there's so many details to get!

Its not that hard to show a little interested because otherwise you just look like you don't actually like the person you're talking to 🥴

(This isn't about my asks on here lol I mean in actual one to one conversation)

Did you know keeping Fenris & Anders in your party throughout all acts makes for some entertaining...division? Especially when you romance one of them and the other shortly after blows up the Chantry (at least for unrelated reasons)?
