pls talk about how theo clings to boris’ dad lighter as an adult more, i’ve been thinking about it all day (and i can’t deal with republican theo discourse anymore) like, does hobie sometimes wonder where does it come from? does kitsey ever ask? does mrs barbour tell him that it’s a beautiful slavic antiquitie and theo feels like hiding it in his pocket because it’s not an antiquitie... it’s all he has left of boris

god yeah.

hobie absolutely asks where it comes from, almost as soon as he sees it when theo’s a teen. he loves old beautiful things after all. and theo tells him the truth of how he got it, because he doesn’t have any good reason to lie.

as the years pass hobie notices how theo never stops using it, how he sometimes hears him clicking it open and closed as he studies for his russian class

when theo reconnects with the barbours they absolutely think it’s gorgeous, where on earth did you get it? this time he lies. just something hobie found at an estate sale. no big deal. he switches to a bic from then on when he sees them.

the thing is ancient, too, theo has to go to a special guy and pay a stupid amount to refill it, and when he’s forking over the money he makes all sorts of excuses to himself for why it makes sense for him to keep using this lighter- it keeps up appearances for customers, right?

once, pippa asks about it, and he puts it in his top dresser drawer and doesn’t touch it for three months.

boris comes back and theo switches to a bic again. he can never know.

(but when they get together, boris finds the lighter in a drawer somewhere. he doesn’t say anything, just turns it over in his hands. of fucking course he kept it.)

i cant be cute dark academia style shit ive literally snorted that weird citric acid powder they put on candy off my best friends family photo, i eat raw sugar in the middle of the night, i dress like a dad on holiday mixed with the skater aesthetic and my vocabulary consists of almost exclusively several interesting words and “fuck”

[arg-antithetical-dream-girl]

rip to everyone else, but if i directed movies,,, i would let the gays kiss

[morbid-longing-picturesque]

In case y'all didn't know, there's a Dutch song going around on Tik Tok called "Drank and Drugs" and a lot of people think that it sounds like Boris singing it, which would be accurate because the lyrics are something alright 👀

I appreciate everyone out there posting Boreo getting married headcanons but please for a moment consider how INSUFFERABLE Boris and Theo planning a wedding would be.

[clownwzrd]

honestly i think that boris and theo only get married for legal benefits? they don’t really intend to get married but it just there are a lot of benefits to getting married for them and even then they’re basically married already- they share everything without asking and they tend to bicker like and old couple with a playful air to it. its not huge or anything they just get married and it’s done and it’s all good.

oh and the rings? theo’s is a really simple elegant gold ring with the dates (both) he met boris on and boris’ is more extravagant with the same date carvings but its black and cooly shaped decorated with small richly coloured stones- it’s cute good for them.

i could keep going but i’ll do that later-

[clownwzrd]

i cant believe my top comfort characters are a homophobic traumatised twink and the most loving slavic rat bastard you’ve ever seen

[clownwzrd]
