Dogday takes the phone in his free hand, and brings it up to his face, careful not the grip too hard in his desperation. Drew has never seen him so silent, so still, and in the bright light of the screen, he swears he can see tears starting to fall. No one speaks. Drew barely breathes, waiting with twitching hands for an answer. A sob, a shake of the head, a twitch. Nothing.
Finally, the shfff of fabric against stone cracks the tension in the air as Dogday pulls his feet closer to his body. There’s a tremble in his hands as he stares. Tentatively, Drew reaches out and places a hand on Dogday’s knee; an offering, and breathes. Dogday breathes with him.
“He’s alive.”

[Image Description: In a similar format to a screenshot of a song, the song title of 'These Drugs' sits above the artist name 'Sugar Pine 7'. Both are listed above a central image of the album cover for the 'These Drugs' single'. The time-bar at the bottom reads 0:22. All of this is on a dark pink background. /End ID]
I CANNOT SPEAK FOR MY FELLOW NOMNOMS BUT IF YOU ASK ME PERSONALLY AS A PERSON? IM VERY MUCH NOT (especially since i decided to be an actual responsible adult and not take a day off from work which im regretting more and more the closer we get to tuesday because i already feel like throwing up blood so i cannot imagine in what kind of state im gonna be in three days. at the office. with other people around. trying to act normal and be productive. BUT ANYWAY)
i have to admit that knowing this is only part 1 does take some of the edge off the anxiety, tho, at least for me, because even IF we don't get a new jimmysea series announced on tuesday, im just gonna be like 'oh that actually makes sense: we're getting a sea individual project in the first half of the year while jimmy furthers his studies, and then they're gonna give us a jimmysea series for the second half of the year which they're gonna announce in part 2'
and i feel like a clown but im just SO SURE we're getting one, either with p'jojo or someone else, and maybe im gonna be thoroughly disappointed BUT I WANT TO BELIEVE SO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS
cant wait to reach an unhealthy amount of unhealthy when I watch Ellie grab Joel’s hand while he’s practically dead during winter and he squeezes her hand back. cant wait to lose my ever loving mind watching it happen. to see her upset and nearly grieving because she’s afraid he’s going to die and she’s gonna lose him just like everyone else. to see her shock and relief when they finally reunite and embrace. cant wait to have my covers pulled up to my face as I have the biggest ear to ear grin known to man plastered on my face while simultaneously sobbing uncontrollably watching them in winter. when I hear him call her baby girl I will start wailing.
cant wait to be so unnaturally normal.
cant wait to watch him pull her in to him and hug her as tight as humanly possible while also being so incredibly gentle and loving. to hold her face and check her for injuries to make sure she’s okay bc he doesn’t know what happened but he knows she’s scared and hurt and tired and she just needs love right now. and he’s more than willing to give every ounce of it to her. i might just lose any sanity I have left.
"This work was conceived to memorialise the victims of twentieth century totalitarian violence in all of its ideological forms, including the shadow cast by the genocidal violence of nineteenth century British colonialism in Australia.
"The public will be able to witness the artist’s ‘disappearance’ under the road, but following the entombment, the road will be returned to familiar use.
"When the artist exits the container at the conclusion of the performance, concrete will be poured to fuse the chamber and its contents as a time capsule instated for future generations."

"Mr. Parr’s said his vanishing act was designed to tap into our deepest anxieties. Inspired by Kazimir Malevich’s painting 'Black Square,' the performance, Mr. Parr said, was about 'the null of the image.'"
