Oh god. I had goosebumps the whole time. Perfect, perfect, all I could ever ask for. I mean, just- damn. I like how it's narrated like a shared memory, very fleeting and just the traces of it. And best. last. words. "Objects adrift." If I didn't already make a Never Let Me Go mix, I'd make another with that title.

But, you know, what's killing me. and the heart that was not hers beat a little harder, excited and aching for the place it recognized. How very dare you.

OH THANK GOD thank you <33 I was so worried, for some reason, because this book (and the movie, really) are just, they're important to me and I know they're important to other people and I hate that I could infringe on that somehow. And I'm so preoccupied with things, not really materialistically, just, this is a thing and it was important to someone, and for a while it was part of them and now what?

I'm secretly obsessed with your NLMG mix, it's kind of one of my favorite thing.

I feel like the organs would always know, a little bit, in a weird sort of way, that you are not mine. Maybe I'm just territorial over my body parts, when I still need them.

Yes, both! I honestly don't think it matters which you do first, because the book and movie really inform and compliment each other perfectly, but do read it and see it! It has haunted me since I first did, but I also love them.

Thank you <3 I was so worried that it was awful!
