Tonto died this morning at around 9am from either suspected asthma or lung cancer, we couldn’t afford the tests to find out. I hope you guys don’t mind me posting old photos.

Thank you all for loving him with me.

Was wondering why Blackbird (Beatles) has been stuck in my head all night and it’s because I watched the fucking Boss Baby earlier after taking some painkillers for my sunburn 😭

#looking at midnight cowboy posts w that song in my head wondering where it came from #💀💀😭😭 the boss of babies put it there

“I’ve got a sick boy at home”

#fucks me up that he nods in the book but not in the film #sobs insanely #you said earlier about uhhhh fuck what was it #metaphorical vows #could this extend that?

Wow, genuine credit to Herlihy for managing to include two different devastating gut punches of absolute despair in the last fucking paragraph of the book

I did not expect this ending to somehow be even more haunting than the movie’s, but sure

#closing lines that make you feel sick to your stomach compilation #number one: this paragraph 😭#always wanted to do from his very first night???? Joe you fool

the-mad-prince-of-denmark

That is

So fucking funny

God, they are such absolute codependent freaks immediately

RIP Joe and Rico, cock warming would’ve fixed you

#TRUEEEEEE #TRUE TRUE TRUE !!!#maybe Rico wouldn’t have frozen to death every night if they’d just frotted a couple times #like just spitballing here #I was gonna say for the film why didn’t they just use that fireplace in the other room #but a) I cannot even remember if that side room had a fireplace or if I’m hallucinating #or b) the Olympic gold medal coconut breaking team of Joe and Rico would’ve burned that fucking building down trying to use it #prolly a trillion dead pigeons blocking up that chimney system

Obviously we know now that Joe and Rico walking around nyc is an iconic film image—so it’s kind of hilarious to see Herlihy in the book being like ‘wouldn’t it be super weird to see These Two Guys walking around nyc’

Like, yeah dude!! Sure is

#so sillay #interesting how the different mediums like to flip between Joe struggling to keep up or Rico #it’s funnier to me if Rico is just off like a rocket and Joe has to jog to keep up #in the film before Rico gets really bad it usually is him leading the charge #ugh Joe slowing himself down on purpose in the later months so Rico can still feel like the leader #whatever *nose drip* 😪

Absolutely insane of Joe to be like “I fucking hate this guy, he’s the worst, and the best part is He Owes Me So He Can Never Leave”

Unhealthy codependence king right here

#no because this is why in the fic I’m writing I am forcing them to be apart for a LONG TIME to form new relationships and friendships #because if they are like this together forever they will be BADLY codependent #like I’m sorry but to all fic writers these two idiots need LIVES outside of each other #because THATS when they can turn back at each other and make whatever proclamations they want outside of the context of being trapped

GOD THEY ARE BOTH SO FUCKED UP I LOVE IT. WHAT IF YOUR SOULMATE WAS SOMEONE DAMAGED IN THE EXACT WAY THEY NEEDED TO BE TO LOVE YOU.

#this paragraph fucked me up so bad btw #it’s so ridiculously toxic also like Joe has found this thing he can hurl abuse at and get away with it #but also he is Rico’s one and only advocate and Joe would rather kill a man or compromise a traditional family future to protect him #like what the fuck are we doing here boys #also op your tags 😭😭

I think there’s effectively two ways you can interpret this.

The first—that this is a sort of narrative break in the fourth wall, where Joe and Rico are both experiencing a kind of foreshadowing through the collective unconscious, of how truly badly this is going to end. OR, the second—that this is Joe and Rico, on some (again, subconscious) level realizing simultaneously that they are in love with each other. That their relationship has moved from the realm of convenience and reciprocity and mutual survival to something more tender, more intimate.

Or… por que no las dos? Joe and Rico are suddenly beset with the knowledge both of What This Relationship Is, and how it will inevitably end.

#I perceived it as both too #deffo more the ‘we both know you’re going to die’#but also impossible to not get some queer subtext from that #hella sad #Welp #now to go to this party and get absolutely fucking zonked #hope there won’t be any sort of ominous fake funeral happening inside
