Boyo in the Old Country, Part 4: Boyo Goes Home

Baz spent the rest of his Sicily trip exploring Ortigia and its surroundings. Here’s a city park feat. random Greek temple ruins.

Also feat. this bus. Volkswagen, 1979, Groovy Tiger—lovely.

The absolute highlight of Baz’s trip was the Neapolis Archaeological Park on the outskirts of Siracusa. Here he is in the Ear of Dionysus, which was one of the coolest things he’s ever seen.

Baz would have liked to visually convey the magic of the space. However, he surprised himself (but no one else) by being such an unhinged frothing-at-the-mouth Indiana Jones fan that he got overexcited and forgot to take any more pictures. You’ll just have to imagine it.

Baz capped off his trip by watching the sun set over Siracusa harbor.

Then paying one last visit to his favorite Ortigian.

Ciao, bello.

_______

Stay tuned for bonus content: Boyo behind the scenes

neve came back and I IMMEDIATELY started crying

#is it my adoration of neve as a character or my country’s political climate? remains to be seen #neve gallus #had been talking to a friend pre-game about how she didn’t appeal to me and boy the fuck was I WRONG #I just walk into her room and stand there and feel guilty #(because I couldn’t save minrathous in ADDITION to treviso #not because I’d save it instead)#my heart will always be in treviso with its people who have no means of fighting back #and not with tevinter and all of the things it COULD’VE done!!!!!!!!!#bitter especially because of my current real life country tbh and all the….. everything #but y’know #datv spoilers #veilguard spoilers #datv #dragon age: the veilguard #thinking especially heinously mean thoughts of my sister #who has been in a wlw relationship for several years - I had her girlfriend at my wedding - but she feels so strongly #that she’s the EXCEPTION to lgbt people (and therefore votes conservatively every election)#it is so so so so SO frustrating because I even came out to her at one point #which I would NOT have done (since she’s a republican!!!!!!) in the hopes that it would help her feel not so alone #because I KNOW it tore her up for DECADES and I don’t think people deserve to struggle like that #and then she turned it back around in her maga hat and her pro-[redacted] posts #and ALSO told my parents just to get back at me for something #I don’t understand I don’t understand I don’t understand #I don’t understand how you can hate other people so much #and I don’t want to have that conversation with my parents #and I know that I will and I am……… fucking Christ I am struggling with that #jesus fucking Christ did I not know that a casual dragon post was gonna be the place where I reflected like this

"well maybe the democrats should have been more appealing to leftists if they wanted leftists to vote for them-" i don't know how to explain to you that you, as a leftist, should know that a candidate who is openly a wannabe fascist dictator is still the worse option

#i'm not saying it's like. to blame for whatever the election results are #i'm just saying that everyone who is ostensibly a leftist and yet DIDN'T vote to keep the guy who says openly both that #he wants to take over the country and that he actively wants gaza to be destroyed #out of power is at best an idiot #if they had the ability to vote in the first place #yes they are both fucked. no not to the same extent by a huge margin lmao #mypost #a lot of purported antifascists who don't seem to know much about like. any of the history of fascism.#they shouldn't have to be actively appealing for you to recognize intellectually that they are objectively the better option

Yooooo Cali is making moves to get Dur Orange Fuhrer off our ballot!

Granted nothing will be set til the New Year/we see what happens with Colorado's version but nonetheless I'm so proud of my state!

Aha, so I saw. Apparently there are also lawsuits underway in 16 other states, which.... I'm still 100% sure we will have to endure another election with him (GOD WHY NO GOD PLEASE), but it sure would be FUCKING NICE if even a few of them worked, especially in purple states. Obviously he wasn't going to win CA or CO anyway, but. Yeah.

#anonymous #ask #politics for ts #the giant orange monster #god i am so fucking sick of him #when will he die #christmas miracle anyone?#the irony being that the entire rest of the gop is as bad as trump #they could all run #literally the only criterion here is “don't be a fucking insurrectionist”#and yet they trip over that bar #because it's gotta be trump or no one i guess #blergh #i would also take these lawsuits being drawn out long enough to force him off the ballot because of ongoing appeals #he tries to delay every other legal proceeding against him #so like #why not a taste of his own medicine #i hate this country

i really do love california and being from the la area you know it's not like i moved to nyc because i hate it here. but i hope to appreciate what new york has to offer, which is a lot, and to one day have fond nostalgic memories of there too

#honestly la/ny/sf are the main cities that appeal to me to live in and r also the most expensive in the country 😬#I'd like visit a lot of other major cities in the us tho. maybe live there for a stint if i turn out to have a bohemian soul

#listen y’all. i hate the two party system as much as anyone else should hate it #and i think something folks fail to grasp is instead of trying to like. ‘advocate for third party voting’ is instead #we gotta figure out how to get rid of the fucking electoral college #multiple states have instituted rank choice voting and it WORKS #more moderate candidates that appeal to an actual Majority are finding footings #instead of fucking extreme candidates that only a few people actually fully put their weight behind #the electoral college is an archaic system that no longer serves a country as diverse as the us has become #and several times in history a president has ‘won’ the election but lost the popular vote. meaning the person that ‘represents our democracy #WASN’T SUPPOSED TO #if the electoral college has no haters i am dead #focus your fucking energy on lobbying for the breakdown of the electoral college and educate yourself on why third parties never succeed #instead of just bitching that ‘everyone is brainwashed’#anyways

rip Will Herondale you would have loved Candy Crush

#Matthew: “Mama it's just a fun little thing I-”#Charlotte: “I think your uncle owns a property in the country I'm sure you could enjoy I'll inquire about it. But do leave my cell alone.#Matthew would introduce it to him #he would love shitty app store games #he would make a sincere attempt to get all adults around him to play them #it would not work on his parents fyi #Henry is the type to keep a loaded shot gun next to a printer and Charlotte is not physically capable of comprehending the appeal #he'd be like “you should try out HayDay its fun look how much fun I'm having. you should download it.”#and she'd be like #“so. do you want to go to a farm??? i mean if you really want to you can you don't have to just live vicariously through this game?#Matthew:“ ...”#Matthew: “Father-#Henry: “No.”#Henry full understands modern technology. in fact he understands it well enough he doesn't want to fucking use it.#RIP to him he would have hated AI #unironically Matthew would probably enjoy the countryside farm lmao #anyways.

i just remembered how messed up the ovid telling of hades and persephone is . god

#theres no consent #persephones last words before being dragged into the earth are calling for her mother #iirc aphrodite was mad that persephone wanted to stay a virgin and she didnt want the ternal virgin list to expand #so she deliberately made hades smitten to which he fully kidnapped her #when i was younger i read about gaea not liking demeter? and working with hades to lure persephone down #and persephone was starving down in the underworld she was despairing until she heard of her mother again #theres the disney themed version of controlling parents and happy peaceful willful love #but theres also the horrifying picture of petty jealousy tearing a child from their parent and hurting that innocent child #i feel like since hades usually takes the backseat they arent talked of so often and its easier to draw an appealing interpretation #but oh man its screwed up #it really does run in the family #what if she really did just wanna hang out with her mom n her friends and pick flowers what then #and now shes running a country called dead people ville #auugu #soup talk

ok im listening to the doc and wow this dude really needs to move on from the 80s and get a life... BUT also the doc is trying to make it seem like all teens in the 80s 'identified' with these characters? is that true for you guys? i never did. but i also didnt identify with clue*less or even vero*nica mars which was pretty solidly my era. the doc is trying to claim that this hegemony of 'identification' is a good thing and that the multiple options of today is making it harder for teens to relate to each other as a group. but the doc is saying this from the pov of a rich white dude. i would argue that today's much broader representation - watching a korean american girl starring in her own teen girl rom com where she is shown to look past the racism of the 80s movies in order to enjoy sixteen c*andles.... I think that is a million times better than what came before. the definition of who could tell stories in the 80s was so much more narrow, it was absurd. and to all the boys was blatantly critiquing that. it was supposed to be sad that lara jean is forced to endure stereotypes just to get her movie romance fix. it's also notable in that movie that lara jean identified most with books, where you could kind of imagine a main character however you wanted even if technically you knew they didnt look like you.

tldr my question to my other 30 somethings would be if 'br*at pack' was ever a bad thing in your lifetime and if you actually identified with these kids in the movies who seemed to have no direction or care in life beyond their tiny little suburban world. cause that was certainly never me as a teen lol. fascinating to watch and fun to imagine living as but not relatable.

#jrnlsht #its like people who think miss swifts music is enjoyed by teen girls because they all identify with it #rather than it just being an appealing ideal and simple narrative to enjoy more than real life #also EVERYONE i knew growing up looked at the bra*t pack affectionately like breakfast*c*lub was idolized #it was a good story! it was fun to watch!#maybe 80s kids really did grow up that sheltered with a small world?#growing up in the 90s we were painfully aware of our place in the world and that even as children we had to have goals in life #and that there was no time for fucking around #but we also had 9*/11 and the poltical fallout which sparked debates at the middle school lunch table #i imagine teens nowadays are probably even more aware of global conflict around them than I was #or maybe my group of friends were just weird and everybody around us were clueless without our realizing #i dont think so though i give teenagers more credit than that #i mean i was younger than 10 when people started asking what college i was going to #not my parents btw im talking total strangers #my dad never put any pressure on me to do anything it was not his style #his style was disappointment if i ever put a toe out of line lol #like yes of course you arent going to college sure thats fine but still if you dont take the hardest classes and #get straight As you will shame me #which 100% worked i idolized my dad #and then i went to one of the top colleges in the country like it was easy 🤣

@pocket-size-cthulhu

I'm making a separate post bc I kind of sent myself down a rabbit hole. I wanna clarify that I am a Big Hozier Fan and that most country music is a different lyrical ballpark entirely bc of the nature of the genre. (If I had to describe it I'd say it's more literal and storytelling than the whole, like, in-the-woods poetry thing hozier's got going on.)

Anyway I tried to find some that have the same kind of poetry to them or at least aren't about dirt roads and, like, alcoholism. (this is very hard to do there are so many songs about drowning your sorrows in alcohol. I think maybe that's a bad thing but what do I know about songwriting)

Zach Bryan - Something in the Orange

Ryan Bingham - Wolves

Deana Carter - Strawberry Wine

Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey

Brooks and Dunn - Neon Moon

Uncle Lucius - Keep The Wolves Away

Juice Newton - Angel of the Morning

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down

The Band Perry - All Your Life

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance

Josh Turner - Would You Go With Me

I also have a few that I think just have generally clever lyrics that you probably won't enjoy very much if you don't like country music:

Rodney Atkins - If You're Going Through Hell

Sugarland - It Happens

Jessica Andrews - Who I Am

Billy Currington - People are crazy

Blake Shelton - Honeybee

Tim McGraw - Just to See You Smile

#text post #if you dont like any of these that is also fine #this is more about proving country music is about more than hot women and beer and trucks even if thats all ur gonna hear on the radio lol #also i appreciate that u asked for suggestions I love forcing music on others bc I steal other people's song tastes all the time #big reason why I'm on a punk music kick rn #and why I was super into dsbm the past few months #trying to get back into pop to spice up my regular playlist but the farthest I've gone is like. chance the rapper and kanye so getting there #i digress #I think especially the something in the orange will appeal to a hozier fan #most of these are straight picked for having pretty lyrics a la poetry so a lot of them are slow and sad #not on purpose tho thats just how country music is #also theres something to be said about how hozier is like catholic symbolism where country music is mostly protestant #so theres a lot of god gave me you the devil's out to get me instead of youre the light of my life and my sole source of divinity

Worm fandom of Tumblr can we convince you to vote for our Cauldron-adjacent moth woman in exchange for goods & services. It has been nearly two years since we have actually read the source media and we don't remember 99% of canon but we can draw bug furries and we can be persuaded to reread Worm with the fresh mind of "we only remember watching Taylor's brainstate getting steadily worse while muttering "oh no that's us" the whole time and we literally could not name anything that happens in canon anymore".

For 1 vote we can be persuaded to rack our brain (full of holes) to try and remember any information about a given character for 1 victory we will reread Worm in a way where hopefully it sticks in our brain this time instead of dissolving out the sieve (maybe liveblogging). This is a serious offer because we take voter fraud very seriously. Please help us rig this tournament horribly so we can do war crimes to a fungus.

Voting link here. We are counting on you to consign us to reading Worm again.

#we speak #worm #parahumans #worm wildbow #this is a very specific toolset for us to bring to the table but please understand that we are running out of normal venues #and also we feel like you are the single demographic most likely to appreciate our horrifically morally corrupt girlie #she is a very specific type of shitty that we think would appeal to a specific type of fucked up girlie likers #possibly in a way that makes you want to dissect her like some sort of frog #this is a very serious offer #we're going to spend several days moving across the country so we will have plenty of time to read which makes this plausible to do #we hope this humble appeal works to rig things. thank u.

#I guess I shouldn't shoot off about these things when I never studied political science in-depth #But I find it oddly impressive that nobody's (yet) come out and said #That they consider Trump the... not lesser but more preferable of two evils #*Because* he'll fuck up the USA on top of all the other countries #Which has its own appeal for those who think America is already too far gone (was *born* too far gone) and the only justice is its death #This was - for better or worse - the lesson most people take from World War II #(Not exclusively liberal or conservative *or* Western)#That a country with a long enough rap sheet can't be internally reformed - only burned to the ground and rebuilt externally #(There was a limited version of the sentiment floating around at the start of Covid I think)#(Where people called the body count and Trump's bungling response to it America/capitalism's just deserts)#(I guess they cut that out right quick)#... anyway I'm not too sure why I started writing this #Maybe because I find it headscratchy that every anti-Trump post on here talks about his malice and his incompetence in the same breath #When these two things have basically opposite pulls on the far-leftists that are (supposedly) so crucial to Biden winning #'What is good for the Democratic Party is good for America' is already a shaky sell to people who aren't lifelong Blue voters #'What is good for America is good for the world' - you try that one at your own peril

bro i hate my country's politicians so much it's unreal

#i truly and sincerely hope they all die in a fire i am not even slightly joking #they promote violence and encourage an even deeper split between the people. bc it helps them #and it's disgusting. they don't care who they hurt as long as they get more power #actually they DO care who they hurt. they WANT to hurt people!! that's how they get more right wing voters!!!!!#they openly and proudly announce they want palestinians dead and out of their homes and it's sickening #(the fact this is WHY people vote them is even more sickening. they fact they were allowed to get this far is awful)#in addition to that they ofc want the lgbt community dead and they actively hurt women's rights bc how can they not :^)#i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here i hate it here #sorry for talking politics. i try to avoid it but everyone on social media is talking about it. i'm so tired i hope we all explode fr #actually i'm not done i really need to vent lol #it really feels like there's no hope. the fact it keeps happening. and it gets worse every election cycle #and it's all bc fucking netanyahu is trying to avoid going to jail :^) i hope he dies today right now actually #for years everyone on the left jokes abt moving to another country but now it's becoming literally real #many people already HAVE left the country!!!!! like how fucked up is that!!!!!! that's how bad things are here!!!!!!#there's been rallies and protests for months now. i think nearly half a year at this point bc i remember it started in the winter #but obviously it doesn't do jack shit. bc why would it. if none of the right wing politicians literally get murdered -#- there is no real threat to them and so they have no actual reason to care. i sincerely think someone should take one for the team -#- and kill one of them lol i truly think this is the only solution at this point.#not to mention many of them are literally just. gross people. you hear them talk and can tell they have no experience in politics #they're all violent and constantly yell and this is how they appeal to the other violent people here #which is also why i think violence is the only way they'll understand. but alas if the left becomes violent we will be hated even more #ignoring the fact they have been violent this whole time yeah? they literally try to RUN OVER PROTESTERS #do you see why i have no hope here. do you see why i hate this so much. how can one be optimistic about this. everything sucks
