Drawn to You by Audrey Assad + Catholic Anthony Lockwood

I have been wanting to make this edit for weeks, but originally I wanted to do a video edit. Very quickly ran out of stamina trying to do that, for obvious reasons. You'd think Catholic scene packs should be easier to come by, but no. ANYWAY, I really like this song for Anthony because I think it embodies his faith (at least how I imagine it) very well— an irresistible draw, a "twitch upon the thread", that keeps pulling him back to the faith of his family, no matter how many times he drops it. No matter how many times he walks away or wants to walk away, there is a longing in his heart he can not satisfy elsewhere. He has tasted the bread of angels. And it's sweet aroma draws him Home.

*spam incoming, tag #wordartnotebook*

This is probably my most long term project ever. I started this notebook of word art in the spring of 2018, and I filled the last couple of pages tonight (July 30, 2023), so it's been five years in the making.

It's not the most original of works (tracings, borrowed ideas, literally all someone else's quotes and lyrics), but it feels really personal as these are all from things that are or were important to me. Some of them are decoratively arranged, and some of them I just got down onto the page.

I'm really happy to have intentionally completed this project and for all the ways it has helped me process and to enjoy art for art's sake in the last half decade.

(yes,I'm going to attempt to rapid fire post every page so I have it digitally all in one spot)

When I’m closer to you

[justjudethoughts]

"Jesus Christ, I don't know what I am/ Am I a lost little lamb or a wolf in sheep's clothing?/ Oh, my God, I don't know what this was/ Am I the child of Your love or just chaos unfolding? "

—Unfolding, Audrey Assad

Okay, so this whole album is extremely Catholic Lockwood coded (I'm actually really tempted to write an entire album fic with each of these songs but THAT'S ambitious), but I specifically wanted to focus on this song because L O O K AT IT.

The chorus is what particularly strikes me "I don't know what I am/am I a lost little lamb or a wolf in sheep's clothing?" Think of the way that the public (Kipps and Barnes) tend to talk about Lockwood: an innocuous looking boy who is dangerous and manipulative. Think of how Kipps tries to warn Lucy away from Lockwood "you won't stick around when you realize what he's really like. Everyone leaves him in the end." Much as Lockwood tries to hide it, there is no way he hasn't internalized that. He sees the result of his actioms on his friends, but internally he is still a little boy, cradling his sister's body.

"Am I a child of Your love or just chaos unfolding?" I think the concept of Catholic Lockwood adds such an interesting dimension to his self-esteem. Having a loving and healthy upbringing, albeit cut short, pyschologically primes Anthony for having a very positive view of God — often, our relationship with our earthly father forms how we are likely to view God the Father. Lockwood, having been well loved, is aware that he is supposedly a child of God's love. But he's also reckless, and lacks the general will to live, and an absolute emotional mess who has lost all of the people who were supposed to help him regulate. Because he lost his family so young, I don't think he actually learned how to self-regulate. So, there ends up being this tension between his identity of someone who is loved and someone who no longer has the benefactor of that love. What's more, if his relationship with his earthly father reflects on his relationship with God, it's likely that the absence of his father has created a massive emotional chasm between himself and God. Despite his father's death being an accident, emotionally it still registers as a form of abandonment. It's very likely that for Lockwood, God "died" with his parents and Jessica.
