CRUDE LITTLE WOODEN IDOLS

*throws up the horns*

AND AVIATOR SHADES

*bounces around the room hitting every wall*

THE TRINKETS AND THE TREASURES WE BROUGHT BACK FROM THE CRUSADES

*pitches self out of a third story window onto the concrete below*

I LOVE THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

made by me :3

There's this type of Goats song that you hear 10 times and find completely unremarkable but on the 11th listen suddenly it clicks and it's your favorite on the album: Andrew Eldritch, Harlem Roulette, Animal Mask, and this one, Beautiful Gas Mask from All Eternals Deck. It's clearly about Kiriona and Harrow, plummeting to some unknown fate, never sleeping and needing to reminders to breathe. JD says of the song "...and the two of you will look toward the wealthy morning sky and know that in its gorgeous portents lie the certainty of death every single morning. The fact that you both know this is why you like each other so much." Artist Credit Ulfvae

Sleep like dead men. Wake up like dead men. Game like dead men.

the thing about Never Quite Free is that. yeah sure you will never be completely free. that's kind of the nature of life! you can't change what's already happened and you'll always have the memories and the attached strings. but that does not mean they have to be a thing that holds you. they will fade, in time, though, yes, never fully disappear; but you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you. things will never be 100% good 100% of the time, and that's okay, you'll sleep better when you think you've stepped back from the brink, and found some peace inside yourself, laid down your heavy load. it's the nature of things that the bad parts stay with you, but that does not mean they have to hurt. never quite free, sure - but free enough that the good parts outnumber and outweigh the bad ones. free enough to dream at night.

See that young man who dwells inside his body like an uninvited guest

when john darnielle said "see that young man who dwells inside his body like an uninvited guest" but also said "no skin like the skin you woke up in"

From the California coastline

To the Iowa corn

To the rooms with the heat lamps where the snakes get born

Yeah I know Tallahassee is great and all and we all like all hail west Texas. I am not denying any of this

But have you ever like actually listened to all eternals deck? You should

You just should

[cryptic-symbols]

beautiful gas mask....what an underrated song. how fucking vulnerable does it feel to trust that you will be saved? because at this point you are so afraid of the fall you won't let anyone try. no one ever caught you as a kid. but I come to you with the reminder that you have to jump into the fear or it will never get better. remember to breathe, breathe deep.
