Don’t Stand So Close To Me: People Ignoring Personal Boundaries In Western Art History

haha ok

great, great touching and kissing

so just on the count of three we’ll both push away a little bit and stand separately for a minute, okay?

haha okay one more kiss okay but now we’re really going to do it

okay?

here we go

one

two

ahhh you are both

so close to just shaking hands

which i am super happy to do

instead of face-petting and pointing at me

but this is good too

the petting and the pointing

it’s all part of saying hello

okay

I – okay

just let me know how much longer you need my whole wrist for?

I can just keep resting my shins against this hillock until you’re done with whatever you need to immobilize me for, it’s no problem

it’s kind of hard for me to braid your hair when you keep leaning away from me like that

oh no

is it

yeah

you’re still doing it

ahhh

this is awful

i guess you’re going to have to stop putting your hands on my head without asking first, then

…bestie

okay but remember how we talked about how cuddling isn’t actually a part of singing though

like i love your enthusiasm but it is not necessary, for singing

you made one big mistake when you came up for a stealth embrace, pal

you left my scything hand free
