Languages tend to peak at their word for butterfly. Never seen 2 that are the same, either. Papillon. Mariposa. Borboleta. Fluture. Vlinder. Schmetterling. Pillangó. Babochka. Farfalla. Sommerfugl. Perhonen. Farasha. Titali. Chōchō. Nabi. Húdié. Buom buom. Great job guys, i really mean it.

Thinking about how suicide haunts Matt's work in so many ways, one of the glaring ones being that it's called Nirvana The Band. Like the name being Nirvana is obviously funny but it's still a pointed choice. Matt dressing all Cobain for Battle of the Bands is actually quite crazy. His death was a huge cultural moment for the time in which these characters are stagnated. And like, them kind of being ignorant of that but also invoking it? That's what its all about.

You have the layers of like, suicidal characters. Webseries Matt's suicide baiting, Dirties Matt's apathy towards his own life (and potential suicide by cop you can speculate on), Owen in Operation Avalanche being murdered but framed as if he killed himself, NTBTSTM Matt actually killing himself, Anthony Bourdain.

Then there's like the "spiritual suicide". Mike and Jay choosing ambition over their friends, sacrificing aspects of their own identity. Dirties Matt's detachment from reality and his pursuit of status, symbology and revenge. Opav Matt's prioritisation of his film over the safety of his friend.

The meta layer where I hesitate to speculate too much beyond public information, but, Matt is reckless with his life lol. He has had to be monitored so he does not kill himself doing stunts. He makes suicide jokes and jokes about his apathy towards his own safety. At least, he has in the past.

And then there's just the haunting spectre of it all. A noose in a living room. A fear of electricity. Doing bits on the side of a cliff. Walking along train tracks you once wanted to jump in front of. Bourdain's ending being what looms over the story of his beginning. Nirvana.

There is a passive suicidality to the stories themselves that is difficult to ignore.

A TASTE OF TASTE WITH...

jay mccarrol for perfectly imperfect magazine

[okjaybird]

and it was his birthday yesterday and him and matt are only getting older and they’re making another movie together in a couple weeks and jay said once he thinks it would be funny if they did ntbts in their late 60s as a two grumpy old men bit and every time they make the show it’s an explosion fireball of two people creating something together where they are able to communicate without even speaking and then it ends just as quickly as it begins but each time they both come back to it. keep trying. and from the very beginning the only thing they cared about was impressing the other by making each other laugh. set your dreams high. your heart is everything now i will hear it beat like a roll of thunder. hug your best friend.
