the idea that hollander "tamed" rozanov is really funny to shane because like. ilya finds it hot and is always going along with it, yes of course my husband is so sexy why do you think i moved to this boring fucking city. for dick. meanwhile shane knows the truth which is that ilya tamed himself. he herded shane like a sheepdog until he was exactly in the right position for ilya to flop down at his feet and say i love you, i am a one man guy, sleep with other people if you want but you are it for me, so shane is always there like ??? ilya. what are you talking about. i was literally prepared to be a secret slot on your roster for the rest of time without even admitting that i was gay until you decided to have me over make me lunch and say my name while you come like a love confession and ilya goes lyubmiyy. shut up. i was untamable you tamed the untamable and so shane has to be like yes, baby, i worked so hard, i used all my tricks but he's rolling his eyes because ilya wants to be a wolf shane coaxed inside to sleep on the hearth but instead he's a cat who snuck through the window and fell in love with his prey. self domesticated. and this is just one of the many perfect games they play

Im obsessed with the way the image of the holy family just fucking haunts Tanrak. The thing he lost. The thing he is trying so hard to be good enough to get back

Then fucking Barth and Cherry. The image of the family he will never get to have, (that he will never get to have with Barth)

Ticket to Heaven | EP. 3 ✝️

[maybe-boys-do-love]

Twice now we’ve seen Barth visually replace words on signs—“God sees you always” and the “I” of “Trust me, I am with You.” I want to dig into the fleshy layers here! Director Aof Noppharnach forces two contrasting ideas into one visual representation.

Cuz we could read it as Barth covering up those panoptic surveillance theologies and instead offering a kinder secular presence for Tanrak, one that can invite Tanrak to taste the pleasures and the hardships of the world instead of cloistering himself away from his own desires and reality. Barth invites him to try food beyond the walls of the campus, to break the rules and explore a world where he has to work for scraps. Barth makes fun of the sacraments and doubts God and the Church’s teachings. When he steps in front of the signs, he offers an alternative to God, an alternative that is tangible, smelly, singing (sometimes off-key), licking his lips, and undoubtedly seeing Tanrak as he is, someone who can love him now instead of in the hereafter.

But we could also read it as a metaphor for Christ. If the communion wasn’t obvious in episode 2, episode 3 doubled down into near heresy. “Jesus took the bread and blessed it and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body.’” For Catholics, this is literal. Christ’s body is transubstantiated into every communion bread or wafer. Barth jokingly asserts his body is transubstantiated in the donut, rendering himself as Christ. If you take that symbolism to the signs, Barth is the “God” who is seeing Tanrak. He is the “I” Tanrak should trust is with him, and not an “I” as any person but in the sense of Christ’s identifier, the “I Am.” Transubstantiation is similar to the idea of incarnation, and one of the most important verses for that idea in relation to Christ is John 1:14, “The Word became flesh.” The Word of God, the divine stories and prophecies was made human through Christ’s birth and life. In Ticket to Heaven’s use of signage with Barth, he’s an incarnation of the literal words of divine promise on the wall. He’s God incarnate.

Now, to have Barth be an entire second-coming would be a dire sin, but there are certainly theological arguments to be made about how one can represent incarnation through stories and how one can view the divine presence in experiences and others on Earth. The secular world is God’s instrument, used to communicate with the faithful.

The visual symbolism here holds two contrasting interpretations at once. On one hand, Life and all of its miraculous simplicities wait when you can let go of dogma. On the other, written dogma guides you to the truth about the divinity that infuses everything, queerness and sex included. What is holy about the world of the flesh? Sacrilege or sacred—the dualities collapse as the signs become sensual reality.

Gemini and Fourth could have a whole series where NEITHER of them has dialogue and it would still be intense and breathtaking. Entire stories in their eyes. They both show inner conflict so well. Gemini does that haunted, cautious look I love, and Fourth is incredible at angst.

“Did you know? They’re building a 7-Eleven where your house was. They tore it down? How long ago? It’s about to open. So quick how they demolished the house and built the store. What about the rose apple tree next door? Is it still there? That tree died before they even dore the house down. Bud do you remember when we climbed that tree as kids? I fell, and it hurt like hell. My mom scolded me for a whole week. You seem a lot quieter now, Tanrak. Really? Yeah. More grown-up.” — GLUM by HAYLEY WILLIAMS

[wingstowardstars]

just realised that barth's last confessional was probably him admitting that he likes men and was done out of shame and guilt and was for his "sins" but this time it was done for love, for tanrak, and most improve for himself :(

[fandomfairyuniverse]

I love that Barth subscribes to the “being annoying is a love language” philosophy and I also love how tanrak responds to it. Because Barth has in so ways been punished for just who he is and so the fact that he can be an annoying menace to his crush and his crush actually likes it means everything to me

The thing that gets me the most about the kiss is that, once Tanrak says “I’m not God’s favourite son either” (I’m also like you. You’re not alone.), there’s no shyness or hesitation. They’re not in their heads. They both completely give in to their attraction. They get lost in each other. And they look relieved.
