I think there needs to be more stories about friends who are almost lovers. who are closer then anything in the world. who can read each others minds. who appreciate how beautiful and impressive the other is. and then have them absolutely destroyed by their own personal events and have that bond twist around like a broken electric cable until it snaps under the pressure of incompatible lives. and then that love turns to hate and then to a haunting.
At this rate, the meme is going to get us to actually make watch parties of Scorsese films and have analyze time afterward. Which I’m cool with, so please don’t pass me over on the invites.
Mark S and Helena Eagen give eachother “the look of love.” Half of their faces are obscured since they’re only halves in this moment. He tells her he doesn’t care who her Outie is.
In the season finale, Mark S gives Helly R the exact same look.
Knowing full well she’s Helena Eagen.
He doesn’t care.
He loves all of her.
“I want to live with you.”
Britt Lower: “In all these iterations, they have a different chemistry. For both Helena Eagen and Mark Scout, and Mark S and Helly R, the seed of their connection is their dark sense of humour.”
NYT article abt goncharov has comments like 'what is the purpose of this film's existence these kids are just lying' motherfucker how do you think our ancestors survived. how do you think folklore formed. culture. music. art. PURPOSE????? do you think everything must be commodified? sold? weighed to be valued? has the rot in your soul spread so far you cannot find value in anything not spoken in numbers??? it's FUN. THAT'S WHY. THE PURPOSE IS THE ACT, THE MESSAGE IS THE MEDIUM, THE SYMBOL IS THE STORY. it brings people joy for its mere existence and that IS the point. existence is its purpose alone
the severance finale really said humans find beauty and meaning everywhere despite of it all and that doesn't justify the existence of the system that opresses them but also doesn't negate the worth of the life that has been carved out of it despite of it all and fuck you for creating and maintaining and profitting off the very same system that abuses and exploits me and those I love while saying our lives are too miserable to have worth and meaning. they do. no matter how small. despite of it all. despite of it all. I am chewing through cardboard.

so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
a quick lil sketch of the dusty, dreary, and yet somehow loveable lawyer we all know and love since j&h weekly motivated me to actually bang out a (somewhat) acceptable reference image for ol johnny boy
