"i wish he'd released July in July". No but you dont get it.

And July is still coming

Just knowing that's getting me through

It's literally about holding onto the promise of the passage of time. Life might suck right now but July will return. July was written during the pandemic as he was struggling with the uncertainty and isolation of it all and going through a breakup as well. It's literallly about him telling himself "there's still beauty and one day I will return to it".

Sometimes I'm sure that I don't ask for help. I cry, wail, beat my head against a wall for it.

Butchered Tongue being on the Unreal Unearth album is so quintessentially Hozier to me cause he was like yes I’m going through a terrible breakup yes it has changed me in irreversible ways and YES I’m still pissed off and disgusted by colonialism if you were wondering btw

Hot Take

Abandoning your fic IS NOT a crime and DOES NOT ruin what has already been written! For all you know, the prompt could still inspire someone else!

Taking long hiatuses from writing is OKAY and sometimes REQUIRED!

You SHOULD NOT feel bad about having multiple WIPS and not finishing them promptly!

Taking care of yourself is MORE IMPORTANT than finishing the fic!

And for the love of whatever, DO NOT be afraid to start posting a WIP because you are worried you won't be able to finish it! The fact that you haven't finished your fic WAS NOT a waste of time!

I know we're all very happy about how many songs Hozier has released within the last year but I'm more than happy to wait another 4 years for a single minute if it means that this man does not get burnt out. I've done it twice, put me back in it and I would do it again.

- cherry wine is about domestic abuse. it’s now called a cute proposal song.

- too sweet is about seizing the day and ignoring healthy habits in favor of having more fun with unhealthy ones. he’s actively critical of himself in the song. it’s now called a song about thinking you’re superior for drinking black coffee.

- take me to church is about worship as a metaphor for sex. it’s called a religious song.

- eat your young is a song about war and political greed. it’s called a song about sex.

- now, the strongly political message of nobody’s soldier is being ignored in favor of calling it a metaphor for hozier’s relationship with his fans.

when are we going to stop simplifying hozier’s music down to cute little cottagecore bogman forest music? maybe you dont want to hear this but i don’t care. quit listening to hozier for the aesthetic. there’s a reason why empire now, foreigner’s god, butchered tongue, etc. songs with unignorable political messages are among his least popular songs.

I still don't believe Wolfstar are soulmates, but if they found and loved each other so deeply in the midst of a war in the 70s, they'd find and love each other anywhere.

My favorite thing about Helaena telling Aemond about his fate is how she does it in multiple tenses.

“You’ll be dead. You were swallowed up in the God’s Eye and you are never seen again.”

Future, past, present. It’s all jumbled together for her. I really love this detail.
