"We must do it today. Should we say five o' clock?"
Hes so pretty as Arthur
sigh--so pretty
#he was so unspeakably unfathomably incomprehensibly beautiful in this #the sight hits my brain in the spot where something is so aesthetically pleasing that I don't know if I want to touch it #consume it #or just stare at it w/o blinking #in other words: I dunno if I just wanna stare at his gorgeous gorgeous face until time unravels #or if I wanna lick his cheek and devour him with a spoon #or squish those soft baby-fat-limned freckled cheeks between my palms and coo #or just hold him tightly in my arms and never let go! #I mean #depending on the time of day #I think I'm torn between staring w/o blinking #and being struck with the repeated craving/ urge to bite his neck
#like...y'know that makeout scene in Makeup? #where Ruth's just gotten her nails done by Jade #and she comes home to the caravan #and makes moves towards Tom #and then we get that wide exterior-looking-interior shot through the wide backwindow #of her whipping her shirt over her head? #and he pauses a moment. looks her up and down. then lunges forward to kiss/ nibble her side? #it's THAT...but n e c k
#hand to god, in at least one shot in DIckensian he looks like a literal *angel* I can't-- T_T
#between the cherubic curls #and the puffy romantic shirt-sleeves #and the round doe-eyes that seem to be perpetually 2 seconds away from filling with tears #and the f r e c k l e s
#somewhere out there #in the aether #renaissance-era sculpturers and painters are gnashing their teeth #and pounding at their breasts #and wailing #and pulling on their hair #because they missed the opportunity to capture his likeness in their art #(especially since he would have been the PERFECT model for a piece about Eros #c'mon--the curls. the eyes. the impish smile. the slim twink-like frame--he'd've been perfect for it) #of course once he (modern day) grows his hair out again he'd probably be a better model for someone/ something like Dionysus instead #because ya boi is GROWN #you can't deny it #even with the same curls #and the eyes #and yes the *freckles* #and the lean body-type. #sweaty--that's a Man (TM) #(but like. a "man" the way Muddy Waters sings it)
