The excitement on both their parts for "Him" returning to this plane of existence, Phil handing Dan the knife to make the blood sacrifice, Dan then saying He will require blood straight from the source (Phil) and Phil saying he will willingly give it, this isn't even the homoeroticism of an unwilling sacrifice, it's two equally fucked up dedicated devotees who are codependent and enablers to each other, it's the way they only fit together with each other because of the rough edges, it's the way Satan always looms behind the Lovers, the way He is present in the backdrop (here and in the Devil tarot card) but the lovers linked together are in the foreground, the Devil is only the symbol of a bond, what the image is about at the end of the day is the bond itself, anyway anyone else wanna go crazy about this with me?
did you know that in this scene Phil Dunster actually in real life made the goal from the halfway line!!! and all the guys jumping on him celebrating was their genuine reaction 🥺 (x)
[ID: Digital art of Daniel Howell and Phil Lester from "DanandPhilCRAFTS - Slime" as the tarot card "The Devil". Dan stands on the left, holding a heart in one hand and Phil's hand and a coiled rope in the other. Phil stands on the right, holding Dan's hand and the rope with one hand, and a knife in the other. Dan looks forward blankly, spattered in blood, while Phil stands with his eyes closed, a gaping wound in his chest. They stand on an altar mat, while a large red goat-like satan stands behind them, a hand on each of their shoulders. The card sits on top of a printed out government document from GCHO, which has been heavily blacked out and is splattered with blood. End ID]
