UGH SABRINA ILY

[hawthornewhore]

I KNOW. YOU’RE NOT. THE SHARPEST TOOL IN THE SHED.

Some parts of Sabrina Carpenter’s Sharpest Tool reminded me of how Shane and Ilya can’t communicate well with each other about anything they’re feeling.

We know that they clearly aren’t just fucking eachother anymore but they both veer in different directions and say things that can be misleading/misunderstood easily especially within the framework of - we aren’t supposed to catch feelings - we’re “nothing”. They’re both second guessing the context of their “relationship” and it’s years of lying to themselves and each other about what they have between them. It’s years of knowing it’s not casual, but feeling like an idiot for wanting/expecting more.

It’s of Shane’s perspective of when Ilya pulls back and leaves him hanging without a word, because Ilya IS confused and it clearly upsets Shane. Ilya keeps giving mixed signals whether they’re moving forward or taking steps backwards. He invites Shane to stay, cuddles, cooks, and gives him his favourite ginger ale. Ilya then talks about the girls he likes/has available to him and how he doesn’t really like Shane’s “boring” personality; but he does love to fuck him.

Shane clearly wants to comfort him after the phone call with his Dad and he does it through sex because “they don’t talk about it” and when Ilya calls him Shane, he realizes it’s not casual. It’s explicitly no longer casual for either of them after he says Ilya’s name and with all the mixed signals he’s stuck panicking (as an already anxious guy, it’s kinda understandable). But, they never talk about it and it goes back to silence that suffocates them and traps the other at the forefront of their mind, no matter how hard they try to think of other things or people.

I don't hear a word 'til your guilt creeps in

On a Tuesday, send a soft "Hey"

As if you really don't recall the time

We were going right, then you took a left

Left me with a lot of shit to second guess

Guess I'll waste another year on wondering if

If that was casual, then I'm an idiot

I'm looking for an answer in between the lines

Lying to yourself if you think we're fine

You're confused and I'm upset

But we never talk about it

We never talk about it

We never talk about it

All the silence just makes it worse, really

'Cause it leaves you so top of mind for me

All the silence is just your strategy

'Cause it leaves you so top of mind for me
