“Fundamental”

Components of reality living in an abstract space.

robby, dennis and Jack only sleep decently well when they can feel another heartbeat by them. like sure, they can sleep without one, but it will be fitfull and light and theyll wake up throughout the night.

robby needs one to remind himself that he hasnt failed, that the people who love him are alive and well. dennis needs one to remember he's not alone, and that there are people who care for him. Jack needs one to remember he's not in that tent in a desert anymore, left for dead in a place he never should've volunteered to go.

the only nights they all sleep truly restfully are when all three of them are there, the brain and the heart and the soul, all cuddled together like octopi, three sets of breaths, three sets of fluttering eyelids, three soft hearts at peace.

when they're together in the big bed, its the first time in years none of them can be hurt. they're safe. it takes some getting used to, but protecting and cherishing each other is the only decision theyve never had regrets about.

EDIT : I tagged this art incorrectly when I first published this image. I had been misinformed and was corrected. This is apparently Yatohji Satsuki from the anime X. The creator is Clamp, an all female manga artist group beginning in 1987. Thank you for the correction. I wouldn't have learned about something as badass as Clamp otherwise.

"To anyone structured by political consciousness, being in life without wanting the world is a common and recognizable affect: I’d say, a fundamental political affect. It occasionally gets pointed to as a symptom: of trauma, depression, or anomie, a kind of thing that’s gone wrong and produced the senses of brokenness I have just described. But it need not be defined only or mainly in negative relation to normative paradigms of integration and fluidity. It need not be romanticized either. It could be better understood as a state in which the drive to stay attached to life is met by a world of inadequate objects. As a political sense, it need not only be defined as a response to dramatic damage, passivity, or defeat. It also involves subcutaneous or fleeting experiences of aversion and the desire for something else." – Lauren Berlant, On the Inconvenience of Other People, p. 124.
