#ross/eion

[bitch-butter]

but also havve you Seen this is us, because that film felt like notes from ross' therapist turned into a script i was like 👀👀👀👀 sir we really gonna put our mommy issues out there? for everyone????? to see????? Alright. ok sir. alright.

anyway. i also would like. to know your insight. about the Back Packing Trip. because. well. i am. Curious.

i Have seen About Us and it was a sad bad film that made me feel sad and bad for ross as a person, and i thought it couldn't get any worse for him but then i remembered he made A Violent Man, and i was like that's the actual worse thing but Then i remembered it was originally called Ire so not only is he Bad but he's also Stupid.

let's talk about the backpacking trip

first of all, the whole thing is really giving the one scene of call me by your name i can recall where they're like romping in front of a waterfall, and i feel like this trip Also had like a soft malevolent energy from the beginning. 

(also not to be this way but like who backpacks, let alone as a pair? that's like, a front for something else lol. i knew like Peers who Had Money who backpacked together after high school and college but i Earnestly can't imagine what one Does backpacking across Europe together besides finger each other.)

like, it's very sad to imagine in hindsight because Young Ross probably thought this was the beginning of his new life and he was going to take his HBO money and his hot psycho and retire the both of them to Miami Beach or wherever gay people went in the late 90s to Settle Down. it Truly was probably like signed, sealed, delivered at the beginning of that trip, and the waves of young love carried them off on their journey like seraphims or whatever the fuck.

and on a level I'm sure eion Liked him, bc even though I think he should be thrown down a well i just can't Conceptualize him fucking ross, staying homies with him, agreeing to go on a homosexual backpacking trip together, and still seeming to be somehwhat cool with him if he Didn't. the dif is just that i think eion legit was fucking around and refusing to find out, like clearly he had a lot going on at that time and ross was probably just his friend who he fucked on occasion and that was it. it's not technically his fault that ross thought that eventually he'd stop fucking other people and only fuck him, it's trap we've all fallen into on the long road to self actualization. when people tell you who they are, believe them (i learned that watching Vanderpump Rules).

so in my onion this all comes to a head at the end of the trip, after they've been having this like fun sexy time for like a month and a half, when they hit up The Club in Prague and eion is Enjoying himself and ross demonstrably is Not. by now eion is like ok we've had fun c'est la vie and ross is Deeply betrayed by the fact that the love of his young life is making out with other people in The Club and is not being apologetic in the fucking slightest about it. but, again, you knew who this bitch was when you met him. 

and he subsequently has to place a drunken collect call to the area beneath an isolated demilitarized zone, which is where matt settle lives, sounding like - as @airsigns knows - the lyle menendez 911 call where he's screaming crying blowing his nose into the receiver begging for help getting flown out.

suffice it to say, eion stays on his european vaca prob getting fucked and sucked all day and ross has to flee (not unlike Taylor Swift on that boat in the blue dress). and deeply darkly he does think eion might come after him, and guess what? he didn't!

and like their whole relationship ever since has been fraught with the insane tension of eion thinking he did nothing wrong and they were just friends who had An Experience together, and ross who still looks at him like an incubus who ruined his life but who he can never be free of, not only because Band of Brothers became an iconic show and this fandom exists to praise them, but because as hard as he tries young love and first heartbreak doesn't ever Really go away.

hiiiii eion/ross anon again here to pick your brain about the question of either of them changing...... or remaining stagnant??? like. they're both dead. they died before either of them could figure it out. they don't even realize! does that mean they'll stay the same forever, two rotting corpses of these 20 something boys back packing across europe with big dreams? or is one of them finally going to wake up and realize that they need to get out? that they've been dead but now maybe they might live again?

only to realize that the only one who could ever give you life, proper life, not this facsimile of one in girls 20 years your junior or children you endanger with your new age thinking, is in the ground with you, with no intention of ever getting out? is that the tragedy of them? that they've exhausted all the stories they could tell? stagnated? at this point everyone at the bar's heard this anecdote already. it's time to move on? ugh. it's driving me mad with pity for them. how pathetic.

I will admit here and now this is one of the most frightening concepts Ever to me, that like at a certain point you just Cease to grow and then have to watch everything grow and move beyond you while you just stay dormant either knowingly or unknowingly. I'd like to imagine maybe there was some Real Moment of emotional murder that transpired between them where both of them stopped growing at the exact same time as a result of it. Which is sad, because when you're young and you have so many opportunities about to come your way you're supposed to be excited and to dream Big Dreams and it's bonechilling to conceptualize that they were dead already by the time the world opened up.

Once again it goes back to the different shades of knowingness they have between them, where eion either doesn't know or chooses not to know that he's a vampire and ross is staring down into this bottomless pit of a person for some flavor of love or remorse and just hears Seinfeld music echoing back up the chamber at himself.

You are Very kind to feel pity for them, because as sad as this is I admit fully to being a gleeful Théâtre des Vampires audience member lol
