Summary
We have to set ourselves against the natural impulses of our children if we want them to be like us. We must artificially deform them in our image and, as our most precious possessions, instill in them the horror of that which is only natural. We tear them away from nature by washing them, then by dressing them. But we will not rest until they share the impulse that made us clean them and clothe them, until they share our horror of the life of the flesh, of life naked, undisguised, a horror without which we would resemble the animals. -Georges Bataille, The Accursed Share, Vol. 2
When you're a child, very much of your time is spent playing games with your little brother.

Summary
You see, Liam knows that there are mystical forces at work within the universe. He’s always known it. He’s always felt he was on the cusp of that magic, that it was right at his fingertips, that maybe, just maybe it was coming for him. He’d thought it to be the good kind. Now he’s sure it’s the bad kind.
Because he’s gone. Gone into the past.

Summary
“Got ‘im inside me, ‘aven’t I,” Liam explained unhelpfully, when Noel finally actually dared to ask him about it.
“Maybe find a different way to say that, our kid,” Noel said, putting his hand on the back of Liam’s neck and shaking him a bit. “Because it sounds like you’ve been bummed by the spirit of John Lennon.”
___
On hammers, John Lennon, and big-brother crushes.
