#ain't no rest for the wicked

[navybrat817]

I stepped on a tiny shard of glass this morning and the kiddos were so sad for me.

Now I'm imagining Bucky or Steve insisting on carrying me around everywhere after inspecting my foot.

"How the hell did that end up on the floor? How did I not see it? This is my fault. I'm so sorry. No, you can't walk by yourself. Can't have you hurting yourself again. And don't say you're too heavy. I'm a fucking super soldier." 😂

Okay but in the song “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” by Cage the Elephant I can honestly say that the only character in the entire song who is genuinely evil is the pastor who is stuffing his back account with righteous dollar bills. It reads to me like everybody else is committing their crimes for survival purposes. And sure the lyrics themselves compare the pastor to everyone else, including the narrator. But like it’s been my general understanding that the kind of pastors who take money from their congregation like that tend to be already independently wealthy and do not actually need the money. I’ve probably actually talked about this before because I’m getting some de ja vu writing this. IT’s just such a banger song.

JASHTOBER DAY 29!!! PROMPT: WICKED

THERE AIN'T NO REST FOR THE WICKED

Cover of the song of the same name, but it's Chonny Jash so... A bit more than just a cover.

Original song but now from the robbers pov and an assortment of added instruments making it worth listening to if you like the original or like Chonny Jash's style.

sometimes when I’m feeling nostalgic for some naruto time travel fix-it shenanigans, I occasionally go back to read ain’t no rest for the wicked and mori-san to feel that warm cuddly feeling of ahhhh, that’s was a good read ☺️

so thank you author-san for writing and sharing that story even if you are no longer writing for it 🫶🏼

AHHH THANK YOU!! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy it!!

I have so much nostalgia and love for all the ain't no rest OCs. my beloved OCs... Aya, Yuko, Izo... and of course the man himself, Mori. AND TEAM FOUR. The Team Four Dynamic is still so good to me. One mediocre man, his inexplicable fangirl, his edgy smartass, and his nerd. They're all so good.

Woke up annoyed that I hadn't slept well for the 3rd day in a row and with Ain't No Rest for the Wicked stuck in my head. Seems like a good way to close out the 4th for my fellow Americans, whether you had the day off or not.

Oh there ain't no rest for the wicked Money don't grow on trees I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed There ain't nothing in this world for free Oh no, I can't slow down, I can't hold back Though you know, I wish I could Oh no there ain't no rest for the wicked Until we close our eyes for good

Finishing up a 16 hour shift like . . . . *protestant work ethic

How can we argue about what identity labels are allowed to be used by who when there are bills to pay and mouths to feed and there is nothing in this world for free?

I actually love the Wicked Cashier because of his message or whatever the fuck his chorus is meant to say

So what if you're struggling to survive and make ends meat, so do I, so does all of us. If you think playing by this will get me to pity you, Fuck you.

I may be wrong. I may have just repeated what the song said but in a more stupid way. but I will still obsess over it
