A More Extensive Taste @halfahundredcats - Tumblr Blog

“Euphemisms for bisexuality included a ‘secret bias’ and a ‘more extensive taste.’”

my mom just had a 7cm brain tumor removed and since she's woken up she's been talking nonstop about this dream she had about going to an art gallery full of colourful paintings by a 'homosexual artist' named klimsdorf who was ethereal and wise, both young and old... at first she was convinced he was a real person but after failing to find him online she's accepted he was a figment of her subconscious mind and is now determined to bring him to life via painting his portrait herself. she's 67 and has never drawn in her life. and now this. blorbo from her tumor

#this is beautiful actually #but also ‘blorbo from her tumor’ is taking me out

well that’s the thing though isn’t it? even when you do know how it ends you still think it might turn out this time. I for one know I spent my first time watching the show thinking about how it could be written so that he doesn’t turn around, hoping and wishing and justifying and making excuses. and when he turned around I gasped. I knew it was going to happen but I gasped anyways. because that’s the nature of the story and that’s what makes it so powerful

#to know how it ends and still begin to sing it again #as if it might turn out this time
