#crane wives appreciation post

[paris-writes]

I am of the firm belief that there is a Crane Wives song for every single emotion.

Are you in the mood for a song about being trapped in an abusive relationship where your partner keeps making you feel as if no one else loves you like they (Tell you) do?

Try Nobody, by the Crane Wives.

You need a song about how you've not taken the opportunities offered to you because you're so scared of what could happen, and you know you need to get up and try and go but there's always the "what if" holding you back?

How about Safe Ship, Harbored by the Crane Wives, or Keep You Safe, by the Crane Wives?

You need a song about how religion has helped create a narrative of men being superior to women and that you had to grow up protecting your own self from men, and now you're finally able to relax and watch the little girls grow up shielded and stronger for it but you still chose to leave the abusive men, the horrible men in your life and live "in the darkness" because it finally makes you feel safe?

Ribs, by the Crane Wives.

How about literally having NO HANDLE on your life and feeling utterly useless because it seems like everyone has it together but you literally have no idea what to do? And you feel as if you were cheated in your adult/elder life because you were told "It would just work it?"

Hard Sell, by the Crane Wives

A SONG ABOUT HOW ABUSIVE PEOPLE LEAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE AND YOU CAN'T GET RID OF THE SCARS THEY LEAVE????

Pretty Little Things, by the Crane Wives

A SONG ABOUT BEING LEFT BEHIND CONSTANTLY AND TRYING TO BE MORE LIKEABLE BUT STILL BEING SO FUCKING LONELY ALL THE FUCKING TIME?????

Here I Am, by the Crane Wives

A SONG ABOUT HOW CAPITALISM IS LITERALLY DESTROYING OUR LIVES????

The Hand That Feeds, by the Crane Wives

So anyways I just think the Crane Wives are neat. There are SO MANY songs from them there's a reason they're my number one on Spotify.

Keep you Safe - The Crane Wives

Haikyuu!! AMV - Yachi, Asahi, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi

I can’t believe I never posted this here!! This is the AMV I worked hardest on and am proudest of, and I would really, really appreciate it if you would give it a watch!! I tried to do my favourite characters justice.

It’s on YouTube, too - but doesn’t have subtitles there

[ferret-queen]

hi there fellow Tumblr travelers! back in October as my first post I did a Tumblr intro, but I didn't like it much so I'm doing another one! also, thank you for stopping to check this out I appreciate it🫶 this is gonna be kinda long..

Tumblr intro time baby!

1: important stuff

my name is kenlie, pronounced ken-lee since a lot of people get it wrong. I'm American and I go by she/her. I'm a beginner artist, so a lot of the stuff I post will have to do with art, and probably some paper puppets because their cool. but please be nice🙏 or else I will steal your toes when you go to sleep. I'm really passionate about character design and writing, and I will post art of my OC's, nature, fanart, and animals. I'm a ❗MINOR❗ so no creeps allowed! as well as homophobes, transphobes, xenophobes, racists, furry and therian haters! and this will be the only social media platform I post on. also, here's a portrait I drew of me★

2: other stuff about me

I like music, much like you. I listen to indie/alternative artists like the crane wives, Paris Paloma, Sofia Isella, Kiki Rockwell, the oh hellos, rabbitlogy, the amazing devil, Madelyn Mei, aurora and yaelokre.

my fav color is purple, and my favorite animal is ferrets (hence my account name ferret-queen) my hobbies are camping, drawing, and reading! I'm also into stuff like yaelokre, ever after high (I know it's a kids show but shut up I have have some years of innocence left and it's a good show) over the garden wall, Alice in wonderland, pretty much a lot of fantasy and older stuff.

3: outro!

welp I guess this is the end Tumblr traveler. again, thank you for looking at this, I appreciate it. I've had Tumblr since September this year and didn't get the courage to post till recently soo yea. also! sorry for this being long I yap a lot. anyways, I hope you have a good night or day whenever you see this. bye bye! mwah~

Beyond to the Void: a Dan Rickabus appreciation post

The Crane Wives' Beyond Beyond Beyond has eaten my brain entirely but it has also motivated me to jump down the deep rabbit hole of exploring the band members' solo work. Dan's lead vocals on Red Clay made me seek out more of his work in particular.

In 2017 Dan released Void / Journal, a collaborative record with other Michigan artists (including Emilee Petersmark, Kate Pillsbury, and Ben Zito). On my first few listens it gave me vibes ranging from The Fleet Foxes and Radiohead to The Oh Hellos. Sonically it feels vast and infinite, dreamy and rooted, introspective and intimate. Thematically it explores the cosmos, the unknown, and the natural world.

“A big theme throughout the record is seeing one's small place in an endless universe and learning to embrace it, knowing change as the way of life, and trying to be brave enough to choose wonder instead of fear in the face of the unknown.” – From Dan Rickabus’ Earthwork Music artist profile

Void / Journal makes a nice companion record to Beyond Beyond Beyond with the thematic overlap of space, introspection, and change in the face of the unknown. Plus there's a ukulele and several juicy drum beats. I'm sold.

If you're not hooked yet, I'm linking a few songs below that I vibe with. (That said, the entire album is worth a listen in order.)

Stormcloud / Bioluminescence – Funky, funky drum beats. Spacey, layered instrumental outro.

Wendigo – First half feels very Fleet Foxes. Back half feels Radiohead-esque. One interview I read said Dan is a Radiohead nerd and it shows on this album.

Wolfpack / Phantasm – A companion to Stormcloud / Bioluminescence. Wolf howls. Full folk band and chorus vibes of The Oh Hellos especially towards the end.

The bandcamp page for the album has very juicy liner notes and credits for all the artists and instruments involved. Emilee and Kate do some lovely improv vocals on A Roaring Fire.

[alive-pancake]

I know this is a kind of a niche post but if People can recommend some songs similar to bands such as The Oh Hellos or The Crane Wives it would be much appreciated. I'm trying to expand my music taste

[wren-writes-things]

Hii wren <3

1, 8, 10, 28 for soft asks :3

Hey Pixel! How have you been?

1. What song makes you feel better?

Well music just calms me down in general, I’ve always just really enjoyed the piano and singing. So you can probably get me to listen to just about anything and I’ll probably be happy.

But let’s see… New Discovery by the Crane Wives and Meteor Shower by Cavetown both have a really nice imagery to them and I appreciate that. Also my roommate writes music and I always love hearing what she’s working on because I know she puts a lot of work into them.

Oh the BotW soundtrack. My absolute adoration for that game might provide a bias but I love it so much.

8. Tag someone (or multiple people) who make you feel good.

I had things to say and it got out of hand, this is not my fault. Also I realized partway through this that a surprisingly large percentage of my mutuals are trying to kill me with their fanfics. “Guys, you have to stop, I can only take so many emotions,” they say, as if they don’t choose which fanfics they read.

@liminal-lesbian | You’ve always left really supportive comments when I posted stuff about my AUs and you’re just a really nice person. It also makes up for the fact that your last fanfic inflicted permanent trauma on me. (Joking on that last part but seriously if you haven’t read her fanfics drop everything you’re doing and go read them now. You could be literally trying to save the world but this takes priority.)

@the-god-of-chaos-himself | You might have an evil alter ego trying to murder me as I type this, but you’re an awesome person to talk to and I enjoy our conversations. (Yes this does imply Dalex is trying to stab me and I’m just typing on my phone, I have ADHD what do you expect?)

@kiwibirb1 | I was so excited when we became mutuals the other day the other day, you’re just a very cool person and I’m always excited to see what new ideas you have.

@detentiontrack | So we do not talk much and I legitimately did not know you were aware of my existence, but you said I was nice the other day and it just made me really happy. Plus I just find your blog really interesting.

@sars-wulf | While you’re definitely trying to murder my emotional stability with your writing you are very cool. I really just enjoy talking to you.

@aspynnwoofs | You’re really exciting to have boop wars against, also you’re just a really nice person! We do not talk a ton (because I’m pretty sure we’re both bad at conversation initiation), but I really enjoy seeing you.

@meowlphibia | You’ve successfully become the most reasonable one in the adoptive family of Marcy Wu, but only because everyone else is completely unhinged. Congratulations on this award. Honestly though you’re just a really cool person to talk to.

@heart-wit-strength | The joy that I experience every time I notice you in my notifications is astounding. You’re just a really cool person with really interesting Amphibia takes and AUs. Also you gave me claws one time via polls and I wish to assure you that I have made the best use of them.

10. What's something you’re excited for?

Ooh! I have an example that isn't Amphibia related for once. Epic The Underworld Saga is coming out soon, which yes I am aware you know (because you're the one who cursed me with this interest, and I mean that positively) The music is just so well done and I’m really looking forward to it. The Art of Amphibia is coming out and I need it! Oh also Stardew Valley updated and I’m really looking forward to when the update is available on the switch.

28. hugs or hand-holding?

Hugs, they’re just really nice.

[greencloakedfae]

Thanks for the tag @ferociouslycreativemystery :D

3 non romantic duos:

1. Charles Devereux & Nell Jackson

I mean ofc. They're both such little shits on their own and when they're together they just amplify that in eachother. The way they just mess with eachother, trying to set eachother up for embarrassment when pretending to be Lord and Lady Shankley having tea with the rich people, insulting eachothers wanted posters, and their entire exchange with Nell pretending to be a doctor. They fall into such a great duo almost instantly, and I think that they could have been great emotional support for eachother if we had seen more of their relationship in a second season. All the fanfic for their platonic relationship written holds a special place in my heart.

2. Merlin & Gwen

Merlin will forever be one of my hyperfixations I come back to over and over again, and these two are always so sweet together. I wish we got more of their friendship in later seasons, but early show Merlin and Gwen is so special.

3. Ellie and Joel

The Last of Us will probably always be one of my favourite video game series. Both because the story of both games is absolutely amazing, but also because I played both games and then watched the show with my dad, and being able to enjoy it together was just really fun and sweet.

A ship that might surprise others: I mean I'll happily entertain almost any ship of any type of dynamic so there's probably heaps that fall into this category. But staying on blog theme I've been turning over the chaotic mess that would be a Polly/Nell/Sofia ship in my mind a bit lately, especially Polly/Sofia honestly.

I feel like all dynamics at all stages would be really interesting to play with. Especially cause Polly and Sofia probably represent what they each hate about upperclass society to eachother, with Polly being hyperfocused on romance and more 'frivolous' things, and Sofia on the more business side of social heriachy and such. But they're both women who just want control over their own lives to do what they want rather than what others want them to do, and they're both intelligent and strong women in their own rights, and I feel like they would respect that in eachother once they get past the initial surface level distaste. Then throw in Nell, forced into the middle of this strange situation thanks to the other two's crushes/obsessions/whatever you wanna call it, just trying to get on with her life and not quite sure what to do about the attention (but also not really hating it) (at least from Polly, she probably would not appreciate Sofia's attention, especially at the start lets be real). I'm gonna stop before this post accidentally becomes a headcanon dump, but many thoughts are brewing if anyone is interested lmao.

Last song: Wishing Well by The Oh Hellos. Been on a big The Oh Hellos and The Crane Wives kick the last few months. Just really fun, story telling songs (that are great for applying to fictional characters lmao)

Last film: JOY - The Birth of IVF. Ofc I watched this cause Louisa Harland is in it, but I fully recommend it to anyone. It was such a good movie and a really interesting story, and I definitely think I cried a little. It's streaming on Netflix if you're interested.

Currently reading: I'm so slack at the moment with reading, but I've got a few in my TBR. Mainly the rest of the Lockwood and Co series, but also Celestial Monsters (which is the second book to The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas, and I absolutely loved that book)

Currently watching: Nothing at the moment :/ I've just been rewatching shows lately. But I am planning on finally watching Arcane with a friend whenever I finish my honours application and my current work contract !

Currently consuming: If this is about media, then I'm currently watching minecraft videos from ItsMarloe lmao. I don't have time rn for a minecraft phase and his videos are sweet soooo. If this is about food, then mango :D

Currently craving: uhhh for ADHD to stop kicking my ass and let me write my lit review and finish any of my 4-5 wips

Tagging a few ppl who might be interested, and no pressure ofc. Also feel free to count me as tagging you if you want to do it: @greencheekconure27 @not-a-hawk @arya-skywalker @butts-bouncing-on-the-beltway @broodytinygaycarmilla
