#Rich Mumford

[sassylich]

thoughts for faulkner/carpenter songs:

“knees deep” by the beths

“younger” by the mountain goats

“psalms 40:2” by the mountain goats

“little lion man” by mumford and sons (this one might be a stretch but i like it haha)

“sunken city” by david wirsig

thank u for listening

first off, you have fab music taste!!!! thank you for sending these songs, i love music recs! “knees deep” by the beths: this was so much more upbeat than i expected! it feels like a very good song from like, faulkner's perspective on carpenter, especially later in the show when he starts to respect (and love) her.

“younger” by the mountain goats: this is rad, this feels like a VERY carpenter song! she's seen so much shit, and her history is so rich, this song feels like it's fully from her perspective

“psalms 40:2” by the mountain goats: oh this is ABSOLUTELY a song for the initial carpenter/faulkner road trip. like, it would be playing as they drove down the road away from the motel, gravel crunching under the tires

“little lion man” by mumford and sons: i see the vision, i also really like this song, and i think it deffo fits faulkner and his many, many mistakes

“sunken city” by david wirsig: ohhh this made me emotional thinking about it as a carpenter/faulkner song 😭 like it fits the desolate vibe of the world, but it's also very hopeful, a glimpse of a happy ending despite everything speaking of music, this also seems like a good time to link a playlist i made for faulkner 👀

Hey random Slarpg question, but what type of race is Hugh Mann before he became undead? I know that the undead at Mumford are elves, but I'm curious about him because nobody in game seems to question his deal so I'm wondering if he too is a result of somebody being kept alive from a mana heavy environment (that being the Uncanny Valley)

We've left the true nature of Hugh Mann intentionally vague, and I'll probably be keeping it that way for the foreseeable future. I have some of the logic of his whole deal worked out on my end, and there is definitely some overlap with the undead in Mumford, but at the end of the day Anthony created him because he thought it would be funny to have a skeleton named Hugh Mann who insists he's a human in a fantasy world where humans never existed. It's funnier if there's no elaboration on this, at least for now

As for the mechanics of undeath, I will say that staying in a mana-rich environment isn't necessary for them. It certainly makes things easier, but they can live just about anywhere with a steady supply of Ethers in place of food. Crud mentions that some of the Wasteland's undead have already relocated to the surface, for example, and Hugh Mann is from Brightport

I've decided to reread fics i read before i started posting. "Why reread fics? There are so many good things you have yet to read?" You may ask and to that I say. Nothing 🤷🏽‍♀️ it just sounded fun!

All Our Secrets Laid Bare by firethesound

Main Pairing: Harry Potter/Draco Malfoy

Type: Post-hogwarts. Epilogue? What Epilogue?

Explicitness: Once it gets started, there are a lot of descriptive smut scenes.

POV: Alternating

Word Count: 149,549

Song:

My Summary:

Harry hates all his Auror partners and all of Dracos Auror partners are dying. That's why Kingsly decides to have Harry Potter pose as Draco Malfoys partner in hopes of finding out why all of his partners are dying. Will Harry find out if Draco has some evil plan? Or will he find out that there is nothing evil to find?

My Thoughts:

It's giving rich kid and poor scholarship student. Maybe CEO and poor hard working employee. Haha, I can't tell you which, but there is a trope in there, and I love it. Harry has the world at his feet breaking rules, never meant much to him. Draco, on the other hand, has read the rulebook front to back and knows all the ways in which he can be fired. I think this dynamic is what leads to such an fun and interesting read.

When i first read this, I remember being STRESSED out at a ton of points. I'm sure I still have a voice memo I sent to my friend freaking out about it. On the second read while the up and downs are still exciting they definitely resolve faster than I remember which is to say that i think the pacing is very good the author ties your stomach up in knots and they don't leave you like that too long.

It's full of super sweet lines the amount of pink highlights I put is crazy. I really like this fic and I had a ton of fun rereading it 😊

A Discovery of Witches Real Time Read Ch40

"‘No,’ Em said, her voice steely. ‘Don’t think about Jefferson. Think about Matthew.’ ‘Matthew.’ I brought my mind back to the touch of his cool fingers against my skin, the rich sound of his voice, the sense of intense vitality when we were together. I picked up my foot.

It landed in the corner of the stillroom, where I was squashed behind an old barrel. ‘What if she gets lost?’ Matthew sounded tense. ‘How will we get her back?’ ‘We don’t have to worry about that,’ Sophie said, pointing in my direction. ‘She’s already here.’ Matthew whipped around and let out a ragged breath."

Trialling time walking is playing havoc with the vampires' nerves. He is pacing like a caged wolf (💥swagger💥). But all is well, Diana has got it sussed out. The trick is not to think about Jefferson apparently.

And for @dbrast, Myriam's "I can't believe this" look when Matthew tells Diana he knew she could do time travel, having fretted like mad a mere seconds before 🤣

Unopened and Unended | Price x F!OC

So tell me now, where was my fault In loving you with my whole heart? - "Blank White Page" by Mumford & Sons

Eight years ago John made a mistake and now with this envelope from the lab in his hands he wonders if he's about to make another one

He poured himself another glass of scotch. She said she was on her way twenty minutes ago. She only lived ten minutes away. He downed his drink again.

The large manila envelope sat unopened on the counter. Guilt pulled on his shoulders. He'd built up a bomb and left it there, ticking away.

It felt like the right thing to do at the time. Steal a toothbrush during a dinner party, send it to a friend of a friend, get the results. He had the courage to do all that but failed to accept the consequences.

Eight years of not knowing. Eight years of missing out. Eight years of seeing his daughter being raised by another man. No, he didn't raise her. He left her shoved to the side.

He should have done something eight years ago when her mother sat next to him in his car and broke his heart.

"John, we have to stop." Poppy said. He could tell she'd been crying since she got in the car. He reached out to comfort her and she knocked his hands away.

"Does he know?" John asked.

"No. He doesn't know anything."

The guilt was getting to her. Cheating on her husband for months now. Meeting him in pub bathrooms and secluded parking lots. They were young. Him, twenty three. Her, twenty six. She was married young, fresh from uni to an SAS captain ten years her senior that promised her the world. He was rich, offered comforts John couldn't dream of.

William was an emotionally neglectful cunt who ignored her unless it was to fuck which she said was becoming more often. He wanted a baby but they were struggling. He'd been a bastard to her about it.

He was also John's superior officer.

"Pip, you don't have to stay with him." His mantra to her. He could take care of her. He wasn't rich but he had a modest savings. They could make it work. He wanted to make it work. It started with a soft kiss as he walked her home from the pub one night. He fell hard for her.

Her laugh, her paintings, the way her hair smelled. He hated William more and more each day.

"I do."

"Pip, you don't." He wanted to convince her. Leave with him right now. Let him take care of her. "I know you're not happy. I want to make you happy. Pip, please-"

"John, I'm pregnant." The air in the car felt heavier, it weighed down his lungs.

"Is it min-"

"It's his. It has to be his."

"Pip."

"I just need it to be. I need to have this baby. I need them to go to a good school and to not have to worry about their parents keeping the heat on. I need William to be the father because that's what best for him."

"Him?"

"He wants a son."

"What a cunt."

"John!"

"What am I supposed to say Poppy? Congratulations? You're telling me you're taking my child away!"

"They're not yours!"

"Seven years fucking him and you couldn't pop one out but six months with me and you're expecting."

"Fuck you."

"You already have." He snapped.

She started crying again. John's heart sank.

"Poppy, I'm sorry." He reached out for her and she flinched away. He let his hand fall to the center console. "I love you. I love that baby. I know I'm not rich like him. I don't have the family name or an estate. I'll work however much I need to send them in a good school. Private and everything. You won't have to work. You can paint all you want. I'll do it, Pip. I'll do it for you. Don't shake your head. You know I will. I love you."

"I'm sorry, John." She got out of the car and slammed the door behind her. He watched as she got into her car and drove away.

They'd barely had a full conversation since then. It didn't stop him from texting her in the following months.

He didn't meet Nina till she was almost a year old. The Irons' Christmas party. She could walk. They had her in a little frilly pink dress and she kept taking off her shoes. She walked right up to him and clung to his leg. Poppy gave him a worried look as he picked her up.

"You're lucky, Captain. Two beautiful girls." He forced a smile.

"Suppose I am." William was not as good of an actor as John was.

There was a banging on the front door. Poppy glared at him as he opened it.

"You're a fucking asshole, John." She snapped, forcing her way inside. "Doing a DNA test behind my back?"

"I have a right to know." He was trying to remain calm.

"What's your plan then? Destroy my marriage? I am happy now, John. William and I are happy. "

"It's not about you, Poppy. It's about Nina. She's not happy."

"You don't know anything about my family."

"I know she thinks her dad doesn't love her! I can see how she follows him around like a lost dog and he kicks her away just like one."

"He just doesn't get on with young children. It'll be different when she's older."

"So it's okay now is it?"

"Of course it's not okay!" She yelled. "But I am trying! I am trying to fix things before the baby. We're in counseling. He's spending more time with her. He-"

"You're pregnant again?" He looked her over more carefully. She had a small bump, nearly unnoticeable now.

"I am."

He thought about being cruel. Asking who she fucked to get pregnant this time. The words died in his mouth as he shook his head.

"Oh fuck off John."

"You see how he treats Nina and you have another kid with him? What if he still doesn't get the son he wanted? You're going to bring some other little girl into a house where she isn't loved?"

"Nina is loved!"

"By who?"

"Me! She's my baby! She's mine! She's mine, John! I grew her! I talked to her everyday, I painted her nursery. I had her, alone!"

He tried to hide his shock. He didn't know she was alone when she gave birth.

"I fed her. I changed her. I got up every night with her when she had colic. How fucking dare you say I don't love her. How fucking dare you!"

She was crying, running her hands through her hair.

"She came from me. I don't know if you're her father or not but I'm her mum. No one else. You can't take her from me."

"You think I'm going to take her away? Poppy..." He always pictured some sort of joint custody.

"All I have are my babies. If you come for her, he'll take this one away," she laid her hands protectively over her stomach. "I don't have money to fight in court. He will take my baby away."

"I wouldn't let that happen." He'd pay for lawyers for her. He was a captain now.

"You'd lose your job. You slept with your superior's wife. They will strip you of everything."

"I don't care about that. I care about her and I care about you." John would burn it all down for them. Part of him still loved her. Wished that he'd stopped her from driving away, got on his knees and begged.

Poppy shook her head.

"We were young and we were incredibly stupid. And it's not fair to you or her what we did. I am sorry that I have hurt you. I don't deserve any mercy from you but I am begging that whatever you find in that letter that it stays with you."

"If she's mine, I can't not do something."

"And what if it's wrong? Whatever sample you managed to get, wasn't enough. You sue for custody and then she's not actually yours. You will have destroyed my marriage, your own career, and you will hurt a little girl that already loves you. You will never see her again."

John leaned against the wall. The idea of a false positive never crossed his mind. He loved Nina. He was always confident that she was his, that part of him made her. But there were times when she furrowed her brow just like William. He'd still love her if she wasn't his. She was a good kid, sweetest little thing. He didn't know how he'd tell her.

"I'm not actually your dad's friend, I'm your real dad. Why haven't I raised you? Your mother and I had an affair. What's an affair? It's when someone who's in a relationship has a relationship with someone else."

He sighed in defeat. He grabbed the envelope off the counter and threw it into the trashcan.

"Thank you, John." She wiped her face. "I am sorry. Truly sorry."

He didn't respond, just stared into the bin.

"I loved you too and if I didn't get pregnant I would left him for you."

"That doesn't make me feel better, Pip."

"I'm sorry." She repeated. She left quietly some time after that.

John reached into the bin and pulled out the envelope. He went up to his office and unlocked the safe in the closet. He laid the envelope inside. It felt like throwing her away in a sense. He could tell himself he didn't need to open it, he knew she was his. If he opened it, she might not be.

He shut the safe.

He got a package a week later. A photo album filled with pictures of Nina ranging from when she was a newborn to now.

John cried as he flipped through it. Some pictures she looked like him. Others like William. More often than not though she looked like her mum.

He laid the album in the safe with the envelope. His little girl locked away from him.

When i said the Restaurant AU would be messy I fucking meant it. No one can keep it in their pants.

Price will tell himself he doesn't love Poppy anymore but was absolutely devastated when she died. Told her grave "I'll take care of our little girl. I promise. I'll take care of her." and then bought Nina a whole flat to live in, gave her a job, makes sure she's okay. Might even pay for her to go to that fancy pastry school in France.

[aestophobia]

@corbin-is-sleepy I did it.....

So a lot of my ideas aren't very specific, they're just random edits set to songs from the blitzstone playlist I made four years ago (I Hear a Symphony by Cody Fry, Paper Rings by Taylor Swift, She by Dodie, Stolen Dance by Milky Chance, and a lot more)

BUT I do have some more specific ones

I'm not very good at explaining why, so bare with me

so hold me

wrap me in love, fill up my cup

cause I'm hollow

LITERAL EMPTY CUP ANTHEM

like i can't even express how empty cup family this song is

but sometimes I feel

like I'm only a ghost, like I'm only a wall

and if you come around, honey, I'll probably just follow you home

this just feels really Hearth to me

oh I wish I was more than my skin and my bones

I've been arranging each of my movements

and all of my gestures trying to fool myself

Hearthstone being shamed for being deaf by his father perchance

I know that it ain't much, I know that it ain't cool

oh but you don't have to tell the other kids at school

my dad'll strike it rich, we'll be the big house on the block

someday I'm gonna be somebody people want

switching it up!!! this song is very very blitzen to me

if there's no one beside you

when your soul embarks

then I'll follow you into the dark

they would literally do anything for eachother uugghghs i love them sm

the moon will sing a song for me

I loved you like the sun

the blitzstone sun/moon dynamic is something that can be so personal actually

the fact that personality wise Hearthstone is the moon one and Blitzen is the sun one, but Hearth needs the sun to survive and Blitz needs the dark

I don't even have a specific lyric from this one it's all just so blitzstone

I can't break the cycle, am I just a fool?

falling down like dominoes, hit by family jewels

this part is Hearth

pass it down from kid to kid, the chain will never end

'less I decide to go to it will I see the end?

and this part is Blitz

I don't have any specific lyrics for this one either, they just care so much about each other

Hearth core, reminds me of "Daisies in the Shape of an Elf"

rate yourself and rake yourself, take all the courage you have left

and waste it on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head

BLITZEN BLITZEN BLITZENNN

all of this song reminds me of Blitz, but this part stands out to me

I also have already made two Blitzstone edits before and I kind of want to talk about them lol

the first one was to "Fire and the Flood" by Vance Joy (this was also the very first edit I made ever)

the big reason that this song reminds me of blitzstone is because the first time I read THoT, I was in a mall and that song was playing (right as I got to the Blitz being stabbed part)

but also the more I listen to it the more it feels actually blitzstone coded

the second one was to "Chemtrails Over the Country Club" by Lana Del Ray

this was actually a fairly recent edit and I really like how it turned out (even thought I don't like doing edits with fanart and still pictures)

I did it to the "you're in the wind, I'm in the water" part if you know what I'm talking about and I had Hearth as the wind because elfs are creatures of air and Blitz as the water part because of the shower scene

Long post omg but any excuse to talk about blitzstone

[hskinhome]

could i have a shufflemancy for my relationship with jake strider (i was his auto responder/his hal)? im *pretty sure* he was awful to me but i don’t know what ‘flavor’ of awful

Thistles & Weeds / Mumford & Sons

———————————–

Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams

'Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams

I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind

Alone in the wind and the rain you left me

It's getting dark, darling, too dark to see

And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems

Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown

I know you have felt much more love than you've shown

And I'm on my knees, and the water creeps to my chest

———————————–

Unfortunately, your intuition was correct in thinking that he didn’t treat you well. Jake was initially kind-hearted but was later “corrupted” by outside forces and began treating you with animosity. He created you and thus had higher hopes for you, but when his goals for you weren’t met, he cast judgement on you and left you to wallow in your disappointment and failure. He tore you down and isolated you, almost like an abusive parental figure.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Trey Anastasio, Basia, BBC Radio 1 (1967), Monica Bellucci, singer-songwriter Derek Buckwalter, Jill Corey, Marion Cotillard, Angie Dickinson, The Flintstones (1960 A.D.), Éamonn Ó Gallchobhair, Miki Howard, Cissy Houston, Deborah Kerr, music aficionado Robert Lapolt, Héctor Lavoe, John Lombardo (10,000 Maniacs—good to have met you), Ben Lovett (Mumford & Sons), Félix Luna, Frankie Lyman, Dewey Martin (Buffalo Springfield), Johnny Mathis, Marilyn McCoo, David Oistrakh, vocalist Tim Oliver, Sylvia Peterson (Chiffons), the 1935 premiere of Gershwin’s PORGY & BESS, Buddy Rich, Bill Rieflin (King Crimson), Rumi, Shaan, Marty Stuart (good to have met you), The Supremes’s 1968 “Love Child” single, Robby Takac (Goo Goo Dolls), Biggie Tembo, Elie Wiesel, Jack Wild, Barry Williams, Frank Zincavage (Romeo Void), and the iconic singer-songwriter, poet, and auteur of glam rock, Marc Bolan. He was the face of T. Rex (a force of nature in British Rock), and his songwriting was an artful, impulsive mash of campy kitsch and cosmic medievalism, glitter, and psychedelia. Marc’s best-known hit, “Bang a Gong,” fused Chuck Berry-fied guitar with almost prog-rock vision, backed by Flo & Eddie, Ian McDonald, and Rick Wakeman. Davy Jones (Monkees) was a big Bolan fan, and he and I went through a phase of studying Bolan’s music, from B-side to outtake. Here’s Davy doing a cover of Bolan’s “Jeepster.” Marc left us too soon, but we thank you for the hours of rockin’ joy you gave to us.

YouTube Music (yes, still, shut up), does curated "themed" playlists, for holidays and seasons and, sigh, "vibes," and such. And I made the mistake of trying to listen to one.

I should have taken it as a clear warning that it's called "A Pumpkin Spice State of Mind". Because regardless of your personal lingering embarrassing 2010s-era feelings on that clove-rich flavor complex, I know exactly how YouTube's drones are using those words. This is music what their computers have tol' them that 33 year old white women from Maryland who can pull off leggings like. Like, like a whole buttload.

Which isn't a bad thing. It's just a plainly pandering thing, to a specific audience. That offers a "vibe" that has as much to do with any supposed autumnal aesthetic as rainbow packaging on Mac 'n' Cheese has to do with Pride Month.

Obviously, they expect anyone who is intrigued by a "Pumpkin Spice" music playlist in the first place to be of a certain type. And as I am a gay with expansive musical tastes, there was a good 40% chance this would work for me. But it does not.

...I don't even know who most of these artists are. This is mostly all distinctly "hiker pop," a brilliant term I devised to describe a certain type of vague, airy folk pop that is only not acoustic singer-songwriter music because it isn't that good. This is literally the music white people who upload videos about hiking put in those videos, because trees = guitar, I guess? It is what you get when rich kids who went to art college record music that is very intentionally them pretending they are untrained world-weary bards with stories to tell. I.e., lots of head-singing and mumbling. Like if Mumford & Sons did a bunch of tramadol.

...Like if Mumford & Sons did a bunch MORE tramadol.

I realize "fall-feeling" is subjective, and, apparently, highly gendered. At least amongst members of the white race. But that said...I don't know what we're doing, here. This is like youth pastor ukulele music, minus the Blonde Jesus invisibly massaging his back. It starts off with an Aly & AJ track that is good, that I like. But then it's Happie? Meg Smith? Hollow Coves? Overcoats? Is this a playlist or is this MAD LIBS, amirite?

I literally do not know what any of this is. And I know why. Because this fizzy whatever is as mid as mid can get.

At some point Taylor Swift shows up, because this is a playlist for middle class white women so that was inevitable. Fortunately it is "invisible string," one of the good Taylor Swift songs. But then "Never Be Alone" by Shawn Mendes immediately shows up to remind me why I don't need to be here.

Look. I don't hate any of these people, or any of this music. They are all doing their thing, and everyone is entitled to do that, and people can like it. But this is the most dentists' office, Walmart recruitment video, megachurch foyer, Disney Adults playlist I have ever seen. And I simply can't get over how desperate it all is to pretend it is anything more than that. And, again, WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH CHANGING LEAF COLORS, OR A NOTABLE CHILL IN THE AIR?

This is all intensely personal. But when I think of Fall, I think this:

Anxious German bagpipe music, played in dank mossy groves, by people wearing horrifying costumes of burlap and hay, thanking the Wheat Goddess for a bountiful harvest by burning a bushel of apples, and maybe the militant virgin Evangelical the Government sent to infiltrate their cult.

You know. Autumn shit.

...That's probably just me. I look awful in leggings.

For the "send a song" meme, how about either Mumford & Sons' "Broken Crown" or CHVRCHES' "My Enemy"? I feel like both are rich with emotional shenanigans XD

Alright - Mumford is going on my Playlists right now, okay? 😂

"I can take the road and I can fuck it all the way."

Pulling major Faith vibes from this. There's anger. Others' choices destroyed her life, and now it's going to be her own choices to take her down. She knows her weaknesses, she's no chosen savor. Shits fucked, and she's not looking for forgiveness. There's choices, and she's choosing this road.

'My Enemy' I'm going to attach to Max. I'm not really big on jealousy for turmoil myself, but Max finds herself in the shit sometimes. A lot of times. Most times. Not healthy coping mechanisms, that one (not that others are much better, as the prior OC can attest). But Max has the added fun of getting to deal with Harold, who also, is not great at dealing with shit. Or talking things out.

But not even just relationships wise.

"In the end, we did all the damage that you could want."

This line has added weight, because she has been used as a weapon. The institute was a home, until it wasn't. Until she saw that damage, and knew what she was to them. So, I guess multi-layers for her.

We stand Victorious! 27August 2023.

It was a #longday. But we weren’t the only ones having one of those. On paper I’m guessing Martha’s Vineyard USA to Portsmouth UK was just another booking but I take my hat off to all those involved in the logistics team for pulling it off. DDD to Portsmouth was bad enough!

A great line up at the festival, it was only a shame Ben Howard and The Vaccines were on “another stage”. 😝

The weather was a great British summers day, forecast was overcast all day and 17 degrees, I dressed for all seasons and woken up today with sunburn 🥵.

7 performances to enjoy before The Sons joined us. I won’t go through all the details as it will take the 9 hrs we watched for.

Summary of events:

Courting. Punk indie band great lead singer had the crowd going from the start.

Hard fi. Old skool indie rock band haven’t done a festival in 11 years. Hard Core fans came out.

The Go! Team. Sang songs across their 7 albums. 7 very talent musicians and great energy.

Dylan. hardcore set of young fans, think UK’s answer to Taylor Swift. All the moves and great performance. Dylan came down to do an impromptu meet and greet along the barrier post performance.

Sea Girls. Not what I was expecting but a very pleasant surprise. Oozed stage presence and that rock punk persona. Great skill at balancing on the barrier for 2 songs.

Sigrid. Norways Taylor Swift. Again great energy and her last festival this season. I surprised myself with knowing more of her back catalogue than I thought.

Ellie Goulding. Pop veteran. Such strong vocals and again I knew so many of her songs. Two blasts of the canon guns and everyone was happy.

Showtime:

2120hrs. We did it! OMG how can it be 4 years 2 months since my last Mumford gig. Would I still be able to bounce in all of the right places? Strong opening, Babel, LLM, Roll away. Paparazzi pleasers. The family of Rich, Nick and Dave reunited. Chris on drums, Matt on banjo.

All the feels came straight back, guiding light, below my feet. It felt like they had never been away. Not much banter, “pleased to be home doing a UK show”. “Our makers and friends all over the lineup”

A short Ditmas run down the sides of the alley and barriers. So much energy.

The new stage backdrop showing live action screen footage of the lads is excellent, really grabs you in and the laser light show during snake eyes is something else. Believe had pyros but no ticker tape as Ellie Goulding used the budget allocation. 😉.

It looked and felt like the lads were having a great time, the crowd sure were. Overjoyed to see and hear Delta again. There was much love in the audience for them. The UK have missed them. Just leaves you wanting more! The bounce was joyous.

The journey home. Take the shuttle bus they said, ease all your travel woes they said! On the way into the festival easy peasy, on the way out…. Who could have predicted a RTA in Pompey (Portsmouth) blocking all bus routes… plagiarising a fellow queuers song “we will wait, we will wait in queue”. A most pleasant 2hr wait along the seafront enjoying a stunning moonlit sea, various Isle of Wight ferry crossings, The Beach Club music providing all the vibes, the local chippy had never been so busy at 1.30am!!

Loved it. X

Thinking about Crowley post-season 2 through Thistle and Weeds by Mumford and Sons because oH MY GOD

Spare me your judgments and spare me your dreams

'Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams

I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind

????

Alone in the wind and the rain you left me

It's getting dark darling, too dark to see

And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems

JESUS

Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown

I know you have felt much more love than you've shown

And I'm on my knees and the water creeps to my chest

GSFDBXVGSHXGGDHDHDG?????????

But plant your hope with good seeds

Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds

Rain down, rain down on me

GOD

Look over your hills and be still

The sky above us shoots to kill

Rain down, rain down on me

Eiuuuugggggghhhhwhhhh
