of all things that are worrying me, one is topping them atm (and it’s probably the stupidest one 😔)
ok, so i used to article at another firm about 5-6 years ago and at that firm worked one of the most gorgeous human beings i’ve ever laid eyes on. a 6’2 swimmer’s bod beauty with the most majestic face, hooded blue eyes and sexy smile. he should have been a model. maybe he was at some point, he even had a pilot’s licence *sigh* he was perfect. sadly i couldn’t muster up enough courage to talk to him. he was so incredibly intimidating to lil articling student me, you know? the closest thing to an interaction was my smile-grimace when we made eye contact as i walked into a meeting, promptly tripped on a chair and nearly fell flat on my face (yeah i’m cool). anyways he went to a different firm and so did i and i haven’t seen him in like 5-6 years.
fast forward to last week when my boss tells me the firm hired someone new and i should show him around next week. i said fine, no problem, what’s his name? ‘it’s [redacted]. i think he worked at your old firm, maybe you know him?’ i dont think i even responded bc i started FREAKING TF OUT.
no actually laios is exactly like me you don't get it. the resentment building up over an entire lifetime. the inherent knowledge that he wasn't like anyone else he knew, so he latched onto something distinctly other than human. the desire to become a monster, to become powerful enough to take revenge and transcend the envy of being born lesser. you dont get it hes JUST. like me
once a year, i come out of the woodwork to reblog this silly little video i made when i was 16, one year after my favorite actor made his humble departure from this world.
this year i'm posting it anew so it finds more people in the niche little mash and disney animation communities that love him as much as i do. and his name is so elegant it deserves to be pronounced as intended 😂
(love you man happy 6 years i'm baking cookies later today)
"Are you sure you still want this? Moving back into my childhood bedroom with my dream girl is probably the most rizzless move I could have made."
"It's cute. Trust me, babe. I'm not with you for the glamour."
"Mal, we fell in love in a gorgeous tropical mansion. We partied with rock stars and ate food made by a five-star chef."
"Those were literally your older brothers, babe. Shit, am I with you for the glamour?"
"Not a lot of that in Owl Creek."
"Lilo. Babe. It's not why I'm with with you? At all. I'm with you for your laugh and your gorgeous brown eyes. But we're literally moving into the spare room of Aisha Fucking Lee."
