"Agony and ecstasy," is not only how Machine Gun Kelly described his relationship with Megan Fox in British GQ, but how I'd describe what I experience watching the two of them perform their romance for all of us since becoming official in Nov. 2020. MGK and Fox are fascinating people, and an even more fascinating couple, but I also just want them to stop. Then again... don't stop.

Writer Molly Lambert described being around the couple as "intoxicating," which certainly seems to be the euphoric vibe they're trying to give off. Whether it be from breaking onto the roof of The Roxy, waxing poetic on each other's Instagrams, or acting like that peculiarly hot punk couple in your high school that may or may not have taken a blood oath... these two make Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton's blood vial necklaces seem more mundane than leasing a new minivan.

Let's just run down a couple of their most bizarre quotes that incapsulate these two fucking weirdos:

• Megan on the first time they met: "I don’t remember [his] face ... I just remember this tall, blond, ghostly creature and I looked up and I was like, 'You smell like weed.' He looked down at me and he was like, 'I am weed.' Then, I swear to God, he disappeared like a ninja in a smoke bomb."
• MGK on their first "kiss": "Even our first kiss, she wouldn’t kiss me. We just put our lips right in front of each other and breathed each other’s breath and then she just left."

Why are these two always just disappearing on each other?

Don't get me wrong... they are so hot together (and even hotter when you throw their punk BFFs Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker into the mix) that you can ignore the fact they are into some really weird shit. For example, Fox shared the GQ cover photo of her holding a gun to her boyfriend's crotch with a weird little poem caption on Instagram:

The tale of two outcasts and star crossed lovers caught in the throes of a torrid, solar flare of a romance featuring: feverish obsession, guns, addiction, shamans, lots of blood, general mayhem, therapy, tantric night terrors, binding rituals, chakra sound baths, psychedelic hallucinations, organic smoothies, and the kind of sex that would make Lucifer clutch his rosary.

Lots of blood? Tantric night terrors? Organic smoothies?! Do these all balance each other out?

For his part, MGK shared a similar caption with the cover of the magazine, writing on Instagram, "a life without you is worse than death, put a bullet in my head if we have nothing left and if that ever comes, meet me in heaven and lets fuck like demons." I don't want to judge anyone's sex life but... how do demons fuck? Why is Lucifer watching them?

Most of the things I see about MGK and Fox make it hard to look away and maybe the truth is... I don't want to. There's something fun about watching an enigmatic couple do their thing. Or perform their thing. Or just be a thing. In a world of Bennifers performing the world's laziest PR stunt, it's nice to see someone put a little effort in to what they're giving the public.
