JUDE😭

- a little life

dear god this book. this book is. i'm consuming it like i did with books back in third grade, back when life was just beginning to crumble and i was going down with it, back before i knew just how bad it could get. i'm devouring this book and it is so painful. it's speaking to me and it's making me cry.

the kinda shit the brothers would tell jude:

people i imagine as jude (multiple people bcs in everything AND everyone i see, i see him)

1.) loyle carner

I SAW HIM LIVE AND I WAS LIKE?? OMG JUDE HI

2.) ethan hawke

very random but he is serving sm jude at university here

3.) rami malek

the average rami malek jude fancast, but i really do understand it

4.) james norton

THIS CASTING CHOICE FOR THE PLAY WAS SAUR GOOD (except jude isnt white)

5.) joseph gordon levitt

he’s just so jude in mysterious skin ok

6.) milo ventimiglia

i refuse to elaborate

going to nyc in may for the first time ever do u guys understand how deeply annoying i’m gonna be. i’ll be posting like omg on the subway this is literally a little life :3 visiting lispenard too god ur all going to be sick of me

yeah there’s no way

A Little Life - Hanya Yanagihara

jude is so me i also have such an obviously catholic full name

this quote haunts me

In Een Klein Leven, the “You’re Jude St. Francis” monologue is done in a way that each character says lines from it, not just Willem. Which I think is such a beautiful way of expressing that specific monologue.

On the other hand, Ivo Van Hove did not have to go shattering my heart by having Andy say the “You’re the bravest person I know” part.

Because Andy knows the full extent of the damage done to Jude’s body, he would be the one to really know and understand how much physical pain Jude is in every day. He understands what his episodes actually entail, what is happening to his body when they occur.

And he watches him still live his life, still get up every morning to go to work and spend time with his family and friends. Of course in Andy’s eyes, who could be braver than Jude?
