played in one sitting right before bed. really breathtaking and indelible. ingeniously efficient in text and art. impeccable pacing of tension and tone, tenderness and viscera. sinking deep into a cloistered world where divine duty and earthly desire are at doomed, agonizing odds. horror in the hopeless, eroticism in shedding the value placed upon the body, despairing pleasure and intimacy found in places where beauty felt inconceivable. narrative that shows unwavering vision like this story was both impossible to exist and always meant to be told.
sorry if i sound like a load of barnacles! but on a personal note: i feel so honored to know you both and to have seen you flourish in your craft. it makes me so happy to experience the creations made between you two, that queer love can imagine and beget something so full of love in ways unexplored, difficult to describe, and beautifully transgressive. thank you so much for making and sharing this! i love you!!!
