Both Luke, Harold, and Dr Traylor would make Jude drink milk with his dinner

Milk as a symbolism of childhood, protection, nurturing care. Milk used to regain physical strength when it was lost, because the three of them each needed jude for something (a tool, a son, a toy) and he needed that strength to take on what they wanted from him.

Just saw someone on Instagram say closing a little life by hanya yanaghihara feels like losing a close friend because of how real all the characters feel and it’s exactly how it felt to finish it for the first time

jude wanted to be ordinary more than anything but was not

jb wanted to be special like jude more than anything, this made him ordinary

willem did not care about being either, and ended up very famous

malcolm didn’t care about being either, and settled for a quiet life

joobie st frankie

a little life fashion takeover ohh i’m not ok

jude:

auuuuuGHHHH the old man in Rome. Harold being so happy that Jude is recognized as his son by others even when they don't look anything alike, but the love is so clear and so vivid that people can just tell. Like when Harold was telling Liesl about adopting Jude and she can just tell how much he loves him that she says "You love him a lot" bc Harold loves so freely and so intensely and so unconditionally and his love shines out of him like warm rays of sun

And also the old man teasing Harold for being so plain but having such a beautiful wife and handsome son,,,,,,,,,,justice for Harold Stein

literally and the way harold and jude just fit, so well so that people think they’re biologically related. :(

Their (the boys in the hood) last canonical hangout all together was in April

I DIDNT NEED TO SEE THIS !

JUDE😭
