His pupils flashed like the hot spokes of a chariot, or the silver wires of his secondhand machine.

The time of himbo appreciation is done. We’re coming up on Grunt fall. Feeling hot and bothered by peons, cannon fodder, etc.

This song is the correct length

Everyone in their 20s is named Connor.

Wanting to see what it feels like up on the roof is the single most relatable thing he’s ever done.
