[Text ID: you've been telling me you're leaving for so long, i don't believe it anymore. just push you into bed & throw down the anchors. light your cigarette like a ritual torch: where there is warmth, you won't wander. i put my mouth over you: i love you like skinning an animal: (in italics) flesh to bone. flesh to bone. /End ID]

““You’re not a monster,” I said. But I lied. What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be. From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr. To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.”
— Ocean Vuong, from “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous”

u know what no one talks about enough? that fucking dragon????
like, kavinsky dreamt a dragon and it either fell asleep when he died and now there’s a GIANT WHITE SLEEPING DRAGON where everyone can see it
or, for the people who prefer an ending where he survived, it flew away and now THERE’S A GIANT WHITE DRAGON FLAPPING AROUND THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY???
not to mention that kavinsky’s explicitly stated desire to watch the world burn probably would have been (unintentionally?) dreamt into it considering the circumstances under which it was made. it’s gotta be the cause of some unusual forest fires and other unanticipated destruction that year
