#dead flag blues

It's December and it hasn't snowed yet

Instead there's electricity in the air

Yesterday a mass murderer with clean hands was killed in the street

Next month a man promising cheap groceries and hate will be president

Only one of his promises will be fulfilled

I wonder if I'm watching a slow collapse

I worry this is the way things will always be

And I know that so many innocent people are going to die either way

(Dead Flag Blues voice) The air was heavy with oily smoke. The pickles have all fallen off of our hamburgers and slid into the corners of the boxes and the mustard is all watery. A rat has jumped into the fryer of this Whataburger but we are still eating.

This screen waiting for me is quite literally the only thing motivating me to get my geography discussion posts done without whining

TW: Distressing scenes in general, news footage so never graphic but depictions of things like war, gunfights, train crashes, racism, death, etc

My best friend (with some suggestions and ideas from me, but this is her work) made this music video of footage from all the shit that's come with the 2020s so far to the song "Dead Flag Blues" by Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and I have to say that it's an amazing, powerful piece of work that I had to share.

It can be hard to watch, but like life, it gets easier before it's over.

Day 5: flowers

[guppygiggles]

The skyline was beautiful on fire,

All twisted metal stretching upwards.

Everything washed in a thin orange haze.

I said: "Kiss me, you're beautiful -

These are truly the last days."

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it,

Like a daydream or a fever.

Shows I strongly recommend Good Omens fans

Our Flag Means Death (cause Stede and Ed give vibe of Aziraphale and Crowley and the show is generally gay)

Dead Boy Detectives (cause Edwin and Charles give vibe of Aziraphale and Crowley and the show is generally gay)

Sherlock (cause Sherlock and John give vibe of Aziraphale and Crowley and the show is kinda gay)

Heartstopper (cause the show generally gay lmao)

Young Royals (same reason as Heartstopper)

Red White and Royal Blue (same reason as Heartstopper and Young Royals lol)

Nimona (cause it has themes of standing up for a toxic intitution and the movie is gay, asf)

Hazbin Hotel (cause it has themes of Hell and Heaven and a quarrel between them and it shows some characters from Hell are actually good and some characters from Heaven are evil, also the show is gay, asf)

Helluva Boss (cause it's a spin off of Hazbin Hotel, so yk)

Doctor Who (cause ✨David Tennant✨)

Staged (I don't need to explain ig)

multi fandom culture is seeing posts about one of your fandoms and going,"holy shit, there's more of them"

[clonerightsagenda]

liking art of a character themed with the blue and yellow aro ace colors to indicate my support for the headcanon while shaking my head firmly to indicate my preference for the classic green and purple
