hello…
omg rn I am 26 years old…
i just really like titular character piranesi and passages like this make my heart ache
the “eliot pining for parker and hardison” storyline is very popular but let’s twist it around shall we. hardison pining for parker and eliot and being nearly positive that it’s unrequited
just! he loves so hard and so much!! and he KNOWS eliot and parker are his people even as he’s a little heartbroken that they don’t seem to feel the same about him,, and so he resigns himself to being there for them and pining from a distance (until he truly decodes their love languages and realizes/is shown how much he means to them too!!!)
[image id: comment by user @littlebigmouse that says “so for the sake of miscommunication for funsies, Hardison starts decoding their love languages but only with respect to other people. While Eliot and Parker are increasingly trying to flirt with him/have special ways of interacting with Hardison bc they love him too so Hardison doesn’t clock their horrible subconscious flirting” /end id]
sorry this is hilarious
[Comic ID: A 4 page comic about Gerry from the Magnus Archives. Page 1: Gerry (a thin white goth person with eye tattoos on each joint) sits in front of a poetrait they are painting. His younger self (a pale child with choppy orange hair) stands at his side and says “Why are you doing that with the colours?” Gerry’s hand traces over the painting as they explain “It’s a part of light falloff. Where light fades, its colour changes before it disappears.” They smile softly down at Young Gerry. Young Gerry glares back and demands “Why are you being nice to me? Mum says not to trust nice people.” Gerry looks surprised by this before hesitantly saying “Nice can be good sometimes.” Young Gerry frowns in silence before pointing at the painting and asking, “Are they nice to you?” Gerry chuckles saying, “Yeah. In his way.”
Page 2: Gerry’s hand dips a paint brush into a mug. Underneath the mug is an envelope that has the NHS logo on it. Under the table, the shadows on the floor are pointed. Young Gerry says with some hesitation, “All the shadows… they look sharp.” Gerry paints on, not looking at his younger self. A brush with orange paint dips into water. Gerry says, “brightness fades fast”. Gerry continues painting as Young Gerry points at the colors. Young Gerry says, “Then it needs more lights” Gerry counters with, “It’ll still fade.” Young Gerry says, “What if there’s more places for light to sneak in?” The shadows are stark and long points across the floor. Gerry continues looking at the painting and says, “Better to use just one source so darkness comes fast and goes just as quickly. Cleaner that way.”
Page 3: A soft close up on the painting in which two hands rest together. Young Gerry says with some trepidation, “You said they’re nice, right? Wouldn’t they want it soft?” Gerry’s hand lies empty on the table. The NHS envelope reads “Private and Confidential: Important healthcare information enclosed”. Red paint has splattered on the envelope. Gerry hesitates, “I don’t know.” Young Gerry’s hand, now slightly translucent holds his. Young Gerry says without hesitation, “Well, I do.” Their other hand, also increasingly translucent, reaches to cup the other side of Gerry’s hand. Young Gerry continues confidently, “Let it be soft.” Gerry looks down and asks, “How are you so sure?” The ghost of Young Gerry (who has almost disappeared) looks distraught and says “Mum would want it sharp.” The shadows are pointed and gnashing behind them. Gerry’s eyes are wide as he softly says, “Fuck.”
Page 4: A full view of the painting Gerry has been working on. In it, Jon lays on Gerry’s lap and looks up at them with soft affection. Jon is a South Asian man with long, thick black and grey hair, a short beard, scars on his face, and bright eyes. The light falls softly across him and Gerry, who is in profile. Out of frame, Gerry says, “Jon… do you have a second to talk? I… I’m not doing well.” There are no sharp shadows. End ID]
