in love as ever

Casual Viewer Canon: The movie's mainstream theatrical release without the deleted scenes. (The dark-haired girl playing Hermia...exists, kinda, maybe. These events took place in the autumn and winter of 1959.)

Deep Lore Canon: The movie, deleted scenes, and the book. (Chet has a sister named Ginny who goes to Henley Hall. Neil Perry self-injures. Todd told Neil about his dad nicknaming him $5.98 and got to read aloud his "And Still We Sleep" poem, etc.)

Questionmark Canon: Meeks died in 'Nam, AnderPerry readings argued coherently by sociologist and academic Alexander Avila, the cast knew that AnderPerry might've been dating but took it in stride and were not (or would not have been) homophobic, These events took place in 1989 instead of 1959, etcetera.

Fanlore: More than one person has the same headcanon and a handful of people have at least heard of it—French Todd Anderson, Neil Perry survives and lives in New York City, These events took place in an alternate universe pandemic-free 2020 thereabouts or whatever, etcetera.

Headcanon: Neat ideas about the characters and settings that aren't any sort of Canon or even Fanlore but can still be interesting.

Maybe it's just me and my musical theater fandoms with cast changes and various directorial decisions and adaptations from movies and books are always adding and changing what the thing is, but...I thought everybody decided for themselves what was and wasn't canon about a thing?

the DPS canon is so confusing to me. Like, what's considered canon? Logically, the movie, because it came first. But what about the deleted scenes? Are those canon? If not, then Ginny just...doesn't exist? And if they are, then the book could be considered canon too, because it has all the deleted scenes. But the book is also the script before all the rewrites and ad-libs. There's a part where Charlie "no thoughts empty brain" Dalton asks if math can be considered poetry. CHARLIE! There's a part where Neil stabs himself with a pin. Do we consider that canon? The book also doesn't have a flying desk set, because that's something Ethan and Robert came up with on set. No snow scene, either.

anyway my head hurts

Hoja de arce. A finales del mes de noviembre el otoño alcanzará sus niveles cromáticos mas bellos en el Valle del Tiétar. Los pequeños y relictos bosquetes de Arce en la garganta de Santa María verán caer sus hojas, ocres y marchitas aguas abajo hasta el Tiétar. . . Maple Leaf. At the end of November, autumn will reach its most beautiful chromatic levels in the Tiétar Valley. The small and relict Maple groves in the Santa María river will see their ocher and withered leaves fall downstream to the Tiétar river. . . #Tietar #rio #river #Candeleda #Gredos #Valle #Valledeltietar #Historia #history #Avila #Naturaleza #TietarValley #nikon #nikonistas #nikonphotography #nikonspain #otoño #autumn #arce #maple #hoja #leaf #arbol #tree (en Candeleda - Gredos) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVI1tWVNwOr/?utm_medium=tumblr

5 Songs - Capricious Wolf

I've been sitting on this one for a few days while I mulled it over so buckle the fuck up because I got shit to say about this girl. Courtesy cut so I don't wreck your dash with sad, angry Roe lady feels and banging folksy / bluegrass / Americana songs.

1) After Many Miles - The Ghost of Paul Revere

This song as a whole is just a great vibe for Wolf. Heavy. Loud. Sorta aggressive but also intensely sentimental. I imagine it as someone singing about her. I also love these lyrics in particular because y'know:

Oh lover I'll see you there waiting in the willows with your autumn hair. Oh lover I'll see you there after many miles.

2) Magpie - The Mountain Goats

Have you ever run across a song after creating a character and you're like, "Shit, sure hope I didn't hear this a month ago and then just turn it into a character?" That's this song. Y'know what? Maybe I WILL just copy and paste the whole song here:

Feed the kittens in the kitchen Set food out for the strays Try hard to do your best The magpie will have his way Fill your mouth with berries By the full light of the moon Work all night if you have to The magpie comes at noon Shore up the crucifixes Above the archways and the doors The magpie will come at midday And you will go down on all fours And when the cherries white with blossoms Be ready and be brave And remember what we had here When there was something left to save

3) Bitter Water - The Oh Hellos

This song is for Wolf's relationship to the Twelveswood and Gridania. It's a place she loves. It's her home. But that love and that feeling of belonging doesn't stop her from seeing the terrible things her nation does to people in the name of balance and in honor of the elementals. These lyrics in particular hit HARD:

I still taste you on my lips Lovely bitter water The terrible fire of old regret is honey on my tongue And I know I shouldn't love you I know I shouldn't love you but I do

Even now you mark my steps Lovely bitter water All the days of our delights are poison in my veins I know I shouldn't love you I know

4) Avila - The Wailing Jennys

If Bitter Water is about her relationship to Gridania then Avila is about her response to it. Particularly these lyrics here:

I will not rest Until this place is full of sunlight Or at least until the darkness Is quiet for a while And we will not wait For the murdered to come calling The night will simply fall And the morning will rise

5) We Can Only Listen - Ruth Moody

Look, up there's all this political shit and feels about one's role in society and obligations to your fellow man and so I gotta have one song about a past (& future !?) love in here, right? You're damn right I do, also to fill my Ruth Moody quota. Anyway, Wolf, stop being an idiot and go get it.

Would it be easier beneath the sun Where apples fall and rivers run And I'd be lying there next to you In the silence it all comes through And then we wouldn't have to speak All you'd hear is my heart-beat We cannot choose the ones we love When our hearts they speak so loudly We can only listen We can only listen

Identity asks 😄: 1, 2, 8, 11

1. if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?

Read: Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop, The Interior Castle by St. Theresa of Avila, Rise to Globalism: American Foreign Policy Since 1939, and The Washington Post

Watch: The West Wing, Parks & Rec, and late 90s/early 00s romantic drama comedies including but not limited to Someone Like You, 10 Things I Hate About You, and Moulin Rouge

Listen: Hozier, Florence & The Machine, The Killers, Future Islands, and the podcast The President’s Inbox which is put out by the Council on Foreign Relations

2. have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?

No, I don’t think so. But that’s why I read - to feel seen but also to push back a bit

8. what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?

So, I have to say that Shirley Manson and Garbage have been a fucking mainstay for me since I was like 12. I can still put on their first album and have all the feels and their song that came out this summer slaps.

11. describe your ideal day.

It’s autumn with a brisk breeze, brunch, hike to a waterfall, shared scotch at the summit, dinner that’s been grilled, bonfire, ‘anyway here’s wonderwall’

I'm so curious about your mystic revelations, if you were willing to talk more about them. I've been becoming more interested in mysticism since last autumn when I visited Bruges and spent hours and hours in spectacular pre-reformation churches. Do you know about the Basilica of the Holy Blood? It seems very much your jam, its a chapel in Bruges all about venerating this vial of Jesus' blood and it was very dark and smelled powerfully of incense and it had a real revelatory effect on me.

i want to preface this with something of a disclaimer. i think there will be a point, in the future, where i feel comfortable sharing my mystical experiences with people, but that time hasn’t come yet. i’ve only told one or two people about them: they are very precious, and they are not something many people understand. even i struggle to understand them because i am only human. so i won’t be getting into detail about them, at this time, although i may in the future. 

i call myself a mystic but its a bit of a joke- as much as i would like to, i don’t think i will ever be on the level of spiritual transcendence the mystics i admire are, and its because i am too human and too bound to my own corporeality, as much as its something i’m trying to shed through my relationship with mysticism and God. but i think the act of mysticism is something i’ve chased most of my life, even as a child. i have a very mystically inclined mother- she’s always had a very strong relationship with spirituality, deep insights and a connection to the world i’ve never been fully able to understand or emulate. she’s my guideline for everything, my icon. like me she pulls from a lot of different spiritual practices, which has hugely influenced my own experiences and faith. 

i am drawn to specific practices but wouldn’t call myself a proponent of them, at least not as an adult. i was raised practicing judaism at home and anglicanism in public until i was nine, when we started attending the catholic church like the rest of my family (this led to me having a stint in pure atheism, which ended when i had my first, what i would consider, mystical experience). but with that being said, as a child i wanted to be a priest: likely because of my relationship with gender despite being afab i was never drawn to being a nun, which is ironic because the vast majority of mystics i admire (teresa of avila, hildegard of bingen, and julian of norwich) were nuns or nun-adjacent (julian was an anchoress). basically i knew i wanted to connect with God and priesthood seemed the easiest way to go about it. and to be honest, even now i feel that pull- they say its call and it really is, and i don’t think it ever really goes away. so part of my mysticism has been realizing that i can live the life i felt called to without taking an oath or living under rule: the church is not a necessary part of mysticism or a relationship with God, it just helps and creates a framework under which God, who transcends human understanding, can be somehow incarcerated in human understanding. for me mysticism is where understanding God leaves the fallible, mortal human realm and pulls the human somewhere else. i have experienced things that are literally beyond my ability to explain. even with people i love i sometimes cry because i can’t explain them. but that is God: ineffable, sublime, the absolute manifestation of something gothic and ominous because he haunts me the way a ghost haunts a space but in the most pure, beautiful, comforting way imaginable. 

and lastly: yes, i have heard of the basilica of the holy blood and its somewhere i would love to go! i had a similar revelatory experience at st joseph’s oratory in montreal- it’s not as old, but its one of the older pilgrimage sites in canada and similarly its a basilica, and the feeling i had there is something that rises in me like a craving.

what they’re made of . . .

annabeth chase is made of . . . windswept knotty hair, music with bass that resonates in the pit of your stomach, salty air, the sting of lemons on your tongue, tired eyes, metallic clangs, piping hot coffee, and hugs that squeeze the air out of your lungs

piper mclean is made of . . . fire warming your fingertips, clashing lips, long road trips, full-bellied laughter, wide and bright smiles, citrus in the morning, green tea with honey, bruises dotting your knees and elbows, and mischievous eyes

hazel levesque is made of . . . soft longing glances, metallic glints at dawn, the numbness in your fingers that comes with long winter days, grasping for someone’s hand, quiet forests, the sweetness of chocolate on your tongue, and long naps

rachel elizabeth dare is made of . . . paint splattered hands, yelling at a concert until your voice is hoarse, sly winks from across the room, crumbling ancient ruins, the coolness of autumn after a hot summer, and jittery caffeine fueled thoughts

reyna avila ramírez-arellano is made of . . . straining muscles, warm hot chocolate on cold mornings, star-filled nights, the breathlessness you feel after a long run, fingers gently braiding your hair, tapping fingers, regal buildings, and warm spring breezes
