Lonely earth-bound monarch figures whose existences and legacies extend past the bounds of time and space.

Now i’m not saying he made sacrifices to the Watchers… but they did both die because of the tower he built… and then he made it to second place which is the highest he’s ranked since third life……

thinkin about bobby, donna and james being at the roadhouse the night maddy is killed. they're not aware of each other's presence but they're there for the same reason; to get away from it all. the mood starts upbeat, donna lip sync's a part of "rockin' back inside my heart" to james as julee cruise is performing it live. bobby is drinking at the bar, most likely lost in thought.

then the mood shifts after she dies.

"the world spins" is being performed now. donna starts to break down as julee sings, "love, don't go away / come back this way / come back and stay / forever and ever". it perfectly parallels her feelings toward james, how she wants him to stay when he's all she has left after laura's death. or even, how she felt about laura herself. that was her best friend, sudden taken away without a second thought. she's gone, forever and ever. james goes around the booth to her side and holds her, cradles her head to comfort her as best as he possibly can. bobby stops in place, listening to the lyrics as their meaning hits him. there's a melancholy to the way he looks out across the bar, almost like he's about to cry. does he think of laura? how he lost her, how she didn't stay when he asked her to.

they're united in that moment, whether they know they're within distance of each other or not.

remember when delirium was worried about destruction being gone and it was rooted in her loneliness and genuine love for her siblings and the other endless wanted to ignore her sudden upset over this because she's delirium and she gets this way sometimes, don't worry about it, she'll forget soon enough so it really doesn't matter at all. I should get to bludgeon all of them with a bat for that.

came to the sudden realisation that for all intents and purposes, dead cav club au was just me (obliviously) writing tlt Meenahbound

        ❝  i see that you and shadowheart are still together... at least, so far. and i mean it in the most supportive way possible, as friends should. ❞        the light hearted chuckle that escapes from his lips is merely a performance to coat the absolute envy that grips him like a sudden chill gripping his chest. it's incredibly unpleasant and seeps through his silver eyes in a cold gaze that doesn't match the upward curve of his lips as he flashes fangs in a toothy smile.  

❝  do tell me your ( @wistrea ) secret. braiding each other's hair under the starry night ? or perhaps something a tad more rough ? whips and chains, considering her... background... ❞

Shout-out to Revolutionary Girl Utena for continuing to be something that can still completely derail me from everything I'm doing if I think about it for more than five seconds

(narrator: Of all those you killed in your Father's name, one lingers in your mind even now. Alfira, the Bard of the Emerald Grove. Her death weighs upon you still.)

this line singlehandedly inspired alfira's importance to nethandre's development, and when i finally got back it destroyed me

alfira was so important to her. she may have only known her for a tenday, but with how little nethandre remembered, she was her entire world. if she didnt rediscover music and find something she loves that has nothing to do with killing, she probably would've given in, slaughtered the grove, and spiraled back into the person she used to be

i'm sad :(

Because ya'll are stressing me out I have decided to be EXTRA AGGRESIVELY positive and embracing of all the good things both here and in life as a whole JUST to spite you.

Here's "Be" from the film Jonathon Livingston Seagull.

Get Seagulled, idiot.

new fic dropped...

yi sang/dongbaek (could also be read as platonic? it is definitely not overtly romance-based), 1.1k, mostly reflective and missing-scene type content based on canto iv part 1 and 2 (with some setting from 3, but i am not done with 3 so no "present-day" plot things from 3)!

ugh ohmygod so I saw this post and it made me so mad that I simultaneously wanted to reblog it just to rant in the tags and to not reblog it so that I could avoid sharing it with /more/ people

listen. music is universal. when a singer, songwriter, producer, lyricist, musician, team puts something out into the world, there may be emotions that they are trying to put into it. They will draw on these emotions as they perform and edit and refine this thing they are making. There may be a story they are trying to tell, an experience they are trying to communicate, and this may not be straightforward; there is a level of abstraction between conceptualization and realization that I am convinced exists to some level in all pieces of art like this. This is not a flaw; this is marvellous. When I the listener interact with a song, or an album, or an artist's entire body of work - the emotions that I feel and the story that is conveyed to me may be just. absolutely different from the artist's intentions and their own experience. It may resonate with me in an entirely different way than intended; it may resonate with someone else in a separate, distinct, discrete way. My and others' awareness of the artist and any context they have made clear may play a part in this or it may not; it depends on how I interact with music and how readily available this information is.

All this is to say: the only fucked up thing with this whole gaylor shit is the part where people are convinced that their interpretation of her music and the way it resonates with them indicates some fundamental truth about her identity. The only person who knows that is her and frankly it's none of anyone else's business and it's probably not that interesting anyway. But!!! this does not mean that her music cannot resonate with someone's experience of queerness!!!! It is story and song and a vehicle for emotion, and the details that make something sing true to someone's life and values are not pinned to the artist's "true identity" like a fuckin. butterfly to a corkboard. there is VALUE and DELIGHT in being aware of some additional dimension of queerness by virtue of the singers intentions or identity or whatever but that's a fucking BONUS you NIMRODS the only thing you need is a heart to feel things and a song to feel them about it's about YOU and how you interpret things. you change things just by existing!!! the only person to experience a song the way you do is YOU!!! "if I wanna listen to gay music I'll listen to gay ppl singing about gay sex" good for you!! but what a sad and limited life you must lead to need the significance and meaning of art spoonfed to you by author bios.

AND THEN. fucking condescending ass AAAAAAAH listen. christian rock can slap. i say this as someone who is markedly not christian. and even if you don't think it slaps that's fine. but the fact that someone's out here going "oh poor limited babies who've never listened to real proper good music before projecting sasanaru onto christian rock because they've never known anything else" grow uppppp!!! first of all!!! nobody. NOBODY. is out here saying 10,000 reasons by matt whatever is about sasuke and naruto kissing. you know this in your heart of hearts, just like you know deep down that there is VALUE in eking out meaning in places where you don't expect to find it, and in places that have some connection to the earliest parts of you. (and even if you aren't doing this, aren't interacting with the context of the music and its genre, see above re:universal fucking language). you've probably done it before. it's tumblr, land of transformative works and webweaving of course you have. how limited in scope must you be to think that people who listen to a genre you don't value but who are also queer or something must be just poor deprived children, limited in resource, waiting for that next evolution i'm gonna weep. anyway listen to relient k cowards
