There's Always EP

new blog, same old Elvis-loving Ash ⚠️ 18+ and anti-AI 🚫

[theresalwaysep]

Hello there, I’m Ash! Unfortunately my original blog was tied to an account I no longer wanted, so I decided to start fresh! I’ve been an Elvis fan since 2022 and this is where I post gifs, share my original artwork and just generally fangirl over the finest man to ever walk the Earth.

July 10th, 2022

I have never been so grateful for a movie to come out in my life. It’s funny how little moments in life make such a huge impact. And in 2022, my whole life changed and snowballed into this wonderful adventure. Today marks my four year anniversary of watching this amazing masterpiece in theaters for the first time and I’ve never been so happy in life for making such decision.

I’ll be honest, I was skeptical of this movie when I first saw the trailer. I already had this weird need to protect Elvis and his image. I didn’t want this to be a horrible portrayal, there’s been plenty of those. But I tried to go in with an open mind and hoped this Austin guy would do a good job. (Silly me😝)

I just remember sitting in the theater going through all the emotions from giddy to empathetic to full of tears and love. I already loved this man but something ignited once I left the theater. It was one of the few moments in my life that left me speechless. I couldn’t believe what my eyes saw and knew I needed to watch it again immediately. It made me appreciate the human being that Elvis was so much more. He was such a beautiful, complex human that went through unprecedented fame and tribulations. When you look at him, it makes sense why people hold him up to this god-like standard. His life was beyond incredible and accomplished things no other artist could.

If I ever meet Baz or Austin in real life, I’d need to say how thankful I am they made this movie and quite literally changed my life. They made me fall in love with Elvis again, make me go to Memphis five times and explore the rich history there, and gain a best friend for life🥹 Not many people can say that about a movie they watched on a random Sunday afternoon.

There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think about Elvis and how much he means to me. There are few people in this world that truly understand what it means to love that man, and I’m just so grateful I can say he changed my life. How bleak and boring my life would be without out you, EP. Thank you for everything you do✨🤍⚡️

I could fill a book with all the ways a simple decision to see a movie four years ago changed my life, but I think the biggest takeaway is simply ✨ gratitude ✨ on a scale I’ve never experienced before.

I read a scientific article recently that attempted to calculate the odds of any one person actually existing, and the number was so close to zero it’s utterly mind-blowing. When I think about the odds of Elvis Presley, Baz Luhrmann, Austin Butler, myself and you, my Sammykinz- not only existing, but making every little decision in our lives that ultimately led up to each of us walking into a movie theater in 2022, jumping on Tumblr and then eventually meeting up at Graceland… I can’t help but get teary-eyed.

It’s not fate. It’s just… sheer luck. And boy, “I got lucky when I found you” 🍀🥹🫂

It might sound silly, but I like to calculate exactly how old Elvis was on certain iconic dates in his life, and then acknowledge when I reach those milestones in my own life. I know it’s completely arbitrary, and one life experience isn’t comparable to another, but in a weird way, it makes me feel closer to him- even if just for a moment- to pause and reflect on the passage of time and wonder what he might’ve been thinking and feeling at my age…

This week, I officially enter my ‘69 Press Conference era. I look at these photos of him all the time- they’re some of my very favorite! But today they’re making me emotional 🥹♥️ I just love this man so much it’s crazy! What have you done to me, EP? ⚡️

Exactly! 🤍

PSA: it’s not cool to save people’s gifs and repost them as your own 😡😑

I know they’re just silly little moving images that I clip out, but a good rule of thumb is if you didn’t make it and don’t intend to ask permission or credit whoever did, don’t post it!
