Song Review: Blank & Jones - "Deep in the Night"

In June 2023, Blank & Jones released the track, “Deep in the Night.” Back when we were running the AeschTunes internet radio station, Blank & Jones was an artist we gave some spin to, due to hearing their material on KNHC 89.5 FM in Seattle. It’s been quite a while since I’ve personally heard new material from Blank & Jones, so when I saw that they had a recent release, I decided to check it…

I can’t stop hypothesizing about why Darcy’s out at school when her mother is so homophobic and abusive that she doesn’t care when she goes missing for a full day. I know a lot of people think she’s just that brave, but there are other possibilities too. 

(Tara says Darcy has been out for years, but they’ve also been friends for a long time, so it’s possible that just means that Tara has known for that long. I wouldn’t be surprised if Darcy had a crush on her and found a way to casually slip it into conversation with her specifically as quickly as possible, and I think it would explain why the people at Higgs are suddenly so hateful when they go public with their relationship. Some of these theories are based on that possibility.)

Firstly, it could be that Darcy just agreed to go public when Tara wanted to. Tara views her as this confident, gold standard (not gold star) lesbian, so Tara would probably have follow-up questions if she just said she wasn’t ready. She doesn’t want to talk about her mum, so she can’t find a good excuse to say no. She’d rather risk being outed than lose Tara, whether that’s because she assumes Darcy’s ashamed of her when she says no or because she tells Tara about her mum.

A lot of people compare her to Ben, so it could be because she has a better support system. If her mum were to find out she was queer, she would be able to lay low with Tara and/or their other friends, probably for as long as she needed. Ben’s friends, on the other hand, are more likely to ostracize him along with his parents. Even now that they’re coming around, he’s had a falling out with them, so he still doesn’t have that support system.

Finally, there’s the more angsty possibility that Darcy chose to come out knowing how risky it is. Maybe she wants her mum to find out indirectly and see how she reacts. Maybe she wants to get kicked out so she doesn’t have to deal with her anymore, or deep down she feels like she deserves the abuse it would cause. Maybe she came out years ago when she was in a worse place, before she met Tara, and she doesn’t feel that way anymore, but it just can’t be reversed.

Owen Jones is as much an evolution-denier and creationist as Ken Ham.

Sex-based differences in toy selection are demonstrable in other primates, who don't have a plausible mechanism for social constructivism.

So, for feminist Blank Slateism to say that we alone are immune to the same forces as our ape relatives is overtly a denial of evolution, or at minimum to suggest that these sex-based differences mysteriously disappeared in our evolutionary line alone for no apparent reason, but then re-emerged, identically, as social constructions.

That's creationism.

Thinking English majors who don't understand anything about biology could explain human nature and behavior better than actual scientists is one of the most braindead notions of the last couple of decades.

People who subscribe to "the patriarchy" to explain differences between male and female, woman and man, are evolution-denying creationist cranks and should be treated with the same scorn and derision as people who believe in Noah's magic zoo boat.

I know you sent me a davybaby ask so long ago and i’ve been so so busy this summer with work and getting ready for school, i just haven’t felt like using my brain im so sorry 😭

but now I have davybaby thoughts and I need to get them out!!

mike and davy go out to the store together one day (micky’s staying at his mom’s because his sister’s are down and peter had wanted to go out and play his banjo in front of the local movie theater, so mike was home with davy and decided then was a good time to get the grocery shopping done) and davy had been feeling little on-and-off, mostly at home because it’d suddenly become part of their routine but at this point he’s still pretty embarrassed that he feels little, but at home mike makes him feel safe and loved so he lets himself have it.

anyway, they walk past a shelf of toys and davy spots this little red and green stable with ten toy horses and suddenly he gets so excited about it but he’s pretty embarrassed that he’s getting so excited by a kids toy so he lets it pass and they keep on walking.

but davy can’t stop thinking about it and as they keep going through the store he worries someone is going to see it and buy it, but he feels a bit guilty because he doesn’t want to take a toy away from an actual kid, but he tries his best to ignore his feelings.

they circle back around a couple of times and davy can’t help but peer down the aisle where the toys were to check if the stable is still there. at one point mike sees him glancing over to that aisle and makes note of it in his head but they keep walking on since davy doesn’t say anything.

eventually davy starts biting on the nail of his thumb and mike asks if he’s okay and davy nods that he is. mike gives his shoulder a small squeeze and keeps a hand on davy’s back and they keep going through the store.

eventually they’ve picked up most of what’s on their list. they walk past the toy aisle and almost pass it and davy finally can’t help it anymore and tugs on mike’s sleeve and quickly points behind him toward the toy aisle. he’s rubbing his bottom lip with the nail of his thumb and his eyes are big and nervous. he doesn’t know how mike will react because they already have so much to get and davy doesn’t really know if he should act little outside of the pad. mike glances behind him and suddenly it clicks that there’s toys down there and so he swings the cart around and they go look.

davy runs over to the horse stable (that’s thankfully still there!) and grabs it and dashes back over to mike all excited but still with a bit of nervousness cause mike could say no. but mike knows davy doesn’t have a lot for when he regresses, mainly just his blanket and the few stuffed animals that belong to peter that pete will let davy cuddle with so he smiles and goes “you want this?” and davy nods and mike goes “okay babe!” (he quickly flips the stable over to see the price as he pulls davy in for a little hug just in case but he’s relieved to find it’s not too much)

and so davy gets his horses! i didn’t mean to start writing a novel. i wasn’t gonna describe everything in detail but it just kept happening lol!

so many thoughts !! <3

This is so adorable!!!

They put it on the check out to pay for it and Davy immediately starts looking around all conspicuously like he’s trying to be nonchalant and be like “whaaaa for me? You must be joking!” Because the cashier is pretty but it just makes everyone more suspicious.

Mike doesn’t let him play with it in the car because it wouldn’t be practical and Mike really doesn’t want to find a toy horse randomly so when they get to the Pad Davy sprints inside to play with it and Mike is left to his own devices to bring in the shopping. When Micky and Peter get home they’re curious as to what Davy’s playing with but every time they get too close Davy wraps himself around it and glares at them. Mike knows he should be having a sharing talk with him but he resigns to let Davy at it for at least a day because it’s his first toy, he’s allowed to be protective. Mike also knows that by tomorrow Davy will be asking someone to play with him so it’ll all work itself out.

Davy eventually comes to having a favourite horse which he takes with him everywhere. It eats with him, takes baths with him, and sleeps with him. Davy says goodnight to each of his horses every night and Mike is still trying to figure out if it’s a cute thing Davy does or if he’s trying to stall bedtime.

Eventually, in a typical monkee romp, the stable ends up getting broken and Davy’s devastated. He cries for hours because now his horses have no where to live (hes crying because this was his first toy all for him and now it’s gone). The guys all pitch in their extra cash to get him a new one because they know how much it means to him, its not just a toy it’s Davy’s in a house where everything is shared and its a symbol that the guys are okay with him regressing because deep down Davy will always need reassurance that they don’t mind, but of course the toy is sold out. They search everywhere in town but its been so long since they bought it that it’s no longer being sold anywhere. Mike doesn’t know what to do, Peter gets an ice cream in the face for asking a kid if he can have his, but Micky decides to take this as a personal challenge.

Micky disappears onto the porch for days and he puts a big makeshift curtain around him (the covers are mysteriously gone off his bed) so no one can see what hes doing. He sends everyone away when they come outside to him until after a few days he comes back in with a handmade stable. It’s not as good as the toy, it’s all wonky and a mismatch of colours, but Davy absolutely adores it. He cries and hugs Micky super tight for a solid two seconds before its playtime with his new stable. His horses love it of course and after getting to play with it, Davy disappears on his own little project (with mikes supervision) and makes Micky a drawing of him and Davy at the stable with all his horse friends. Micky frames it.

[letmetellyouaboutmyfeels]

It is deeply essential to me that there are alternating POVs in my fic because I absolutely REFUSE to let this show or anyone else LIE TO ME that this grumpy little koala would be confident and suave about getting feelings for this other character.

This man

was taken aside by his boss and told he was "too desperate" and that's why he failed at flirting,

has managed to completely not notice at least ten (10) women trying to date him,

spent an entire case bluescreening because he couldn't fake a relationship for SHIT,

once got offered a threesome and panicked so hard that his co-conspirator thought he'd had an aneurysm,

was asked to stay the night at someone's place "to help them feel safe" and he panicked, said he'd order them a security detail, and literally fled out the front door,

friendzoned a coworker so hard (by accident) that she transferred to another city.

This man, and I cannot stress this enough, gets everyone to fall in love with him by being genuinely kind and caring and a sarcastic little shit and then proceeds to either miss catching the ball completely or drop the ball so hard there's a crater where it made impact.

Anyway to quote @captainofthefallen who is bravely sacrificing herself for you all by getting the brunt of my madness, this is a case of "oh god I'm a disaster he thinks I'm a younger version of him this is unbearable" and then MOMENTS LATER in the koala's POV we get "oh my god he thinks I'm old and boring I'm gonna die."

NOBODY IS CHILL HERE. NOBODY. NEITHER OF YOU IS FREE FROM THE SIN OF ROMANTIC FAILURE.
