![]() ![]() Peter’s face was over his as he was pinned down in place, the hands holding him sharper than what Peter was capable of. They quickly blinked stars out of their eyes, adrenaline already kicking in, but the second he got his bearings he was just frozen again. If not for the suddenness or the unpreparedness, he would never normally go down, however, Rumi’s head hit the dirt he was laid flat down, pinned. On instinct, he flinched away, the grab sharp and aggressive, but despite the pull it held on. Fingers tightened on his skin as he was grabbed. In that quick glance of looking over at his friend, he didn't even have time to react. Rumi looked over their shoulder and watched the robot flex his fingers as his wrists rotated 360, plates of armor shifting as if doing morning stretches from inside of his body. “Good morn’, Rumi.” Thanatos’ deep voice boomed out, the robot very incapable of understanding what volumes were acceptable at certain times. Beside him, he heard the humm of Thanatos powering on, and for a second he was worried he’d have to try harder to wake Peter up. When no movement came from him, Rumi shook him again, this time his eyes tracing the line of his closed eye, softly freckled cheeks without their glasses, beautiful eyelashes and- he was getting distracted. ![]() Peter was curled up on his side, his hands under his head as if as a pillow. “Darling, it is time to wake up.” Rumi purred, a slight smile on his lips. After giving a slight tap to Thanatos with the tip of her shoe, she crouched down and gently shook Peter’s shoulder. No sun was in the sky, yet the twilight seemed to wane a little, the shadows a little less long. “Good morning, good morning!” Rumi walked between bedrolls, Thanatos sleeping on top of his sleeping bag rather than in it. Nothing to him tasted sweeter than the adrenaline hit of being right, of doing right, of winning.Īnd Rumi very much so felt like she was winning right now. Everything had gone smoothly, extremely well, and Rumi couldn’t help feeling like they were the conductor, pulling the strings and moving their messy yet astounding friends in the right direction. He was living out perfection, living out how he saw it in his visions. Indeed, that may be the most profound paradox revealed by Little Richard: I Am Everything - the documentary is a masterpiece and worthy tribute, which explores how an artist who tapped queer culture to liberate fellow musicians and audiences always struggled to liberate himself.This was perfection. One expert notes, "When I hear his passionate singing, it's hard to tell how much is running towards God, and how much is running away from himself." This tension is shown in several moments: he appears on Late Night with David Letterman in a conservative-looking suit and natural haircut to declare God "made Adam to be with Eve, not Steve" and a few years before his death, in 2020, he does an interview in a wheelchair without makeup or a wig, with balding hair, to denounce rock 'n' roll. At those times, Little Richard seemed to believe his performances encouraged the devil but his Baby Boomer fans and fellow musicians saw them as liberation and inspiration. The film also delves into periods when he became devoutly religious, denouncing his life as a gay man and his success in rock 'n' roll. For the film, keyboardist and singer Cory Henry recreates the moment Little Richard sang "Tutti Fruitti" with its original lyrics: "Tutti Fruitti/good booty." The song, with sanitized lyrics, became Little Richard's first big hit. ![]()
