Can We Pause And Admire (Alexs??) Fucking Shoe Closet For A Moment

can we pause and admire (Alex’s??) fucking shoe closet for a moment

We've all heard about the "can I buy you a drink?" bar flirting trope.

But this is Tumblr.

And I'd bet good donut money that we're more likely to spend time in a bookstore than a bar/club.

So without further ado:

Hey remember when US and Russia was all like “We’re the best!!! We’ve won the space race!!!!” But India sent a kick-ass space probe to Mars and the whole mission was fuel efficient, costed less and a roaring success in the first try and then they were like “…..wait no that can’t be true” and still have the audacity to call us “underdeveloped” or only view us as a ‘third world country’? :)

For anyone who needs more info, the probe was called Mangalyaan (which literally means space probe vehicle) or Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and you can also get more information here and here

Chewing on glass atm ✨

Bonus: explain who your cats are and how you got them in the tags

I have so much appreciation for this whole movie, but this scene in particular. The way it was executed is absolutely impeccable. There is so much emotion woven into every individual pixel.

The way they look at each other; Henry’s expressions especially hold so much power. You can feel how in awe he is of what’s happening. And Alex’s expressions are so tender; the way he’s being so gentle and pressing their foreheads together. And how Alex takes his cues from Henry because Henry has more experience and he’s nervous. There’s a beautiful give and take to it in the way that Henry is so clearly overwhelmed with emotion and relying on Alex to hold him together while Alex follows his lead and lets Henry guide them both through it.

This is such a powerful and passionate scene; it’s not vulgar or crude in any way, just beautiful. Every possible thing that could have been conveyed through this one scene translated perfectly; that’s love, they’re in love, there’s no room for denial.
