#dem bones song

[bajablastflavoredsaxreed]

Your soul is connected to the foot bone

You’re dragging it down with the weight of your bones

Surrounded by temptations and you just give in

Now shake dem skeleton bones!

Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones!

Your bones becomes dry as you perspire

Think you’re thirsty now wait till it gets drier

And you feel the heat of the bones

Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones!

Your sick and sinful lives will build a leg bone

Your perversions scar the station, son, they’re gonna fry her

Now shake dem skeleton bones!

Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones

Your skin starts to sizzle as you expire

Your hip bone’s connected to your back bone

Now shake dem skeleton bones!

Hellfire!

Hellfire!

Hellfire!

Hellfire!

That fire! That fire! That hellfire!

At the heart of the inferno that will never tire

I have seen the knee bone, and it connects thigher

And we all fall into the flames!

Pick-A-Poet: How Can You Heal Your Ancestral Trauma?

Paid Readings

Hello people, thank you for your patience. In honor of Black History Month, I am dedicating a series to Black American icons. This post is dedicated to Black American poets. Below, there will be a quote that was chosen from one of their poems to go along with the reading. The deck that will be used in this series is the Hoodoo Tarot deck. Without further ado, please pick the poet that stands out to you.

***Disclaimer: Some topics may be triggering to whomever is viewing.

Left-to-Right (1-3): Maya Angelou, Countee Cullen, Reneé Watson.

“Love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls” - Maya Angelou, Touched by an Angel.

Cards Used: Three of Coins, Dr. Buzzard, Dem Bones (RX), Mother of Baskets, Ten of Coins, Strength.

Pile One: For those of you that resonated with the quote from Maya Angelou, I have a question for you. You do know that you don’t have to be anyone’s ride or die, right? You are loyal to a fault. But it’s literally within your bloodline to be that way. There could be someone in your family who was scapegoated, falsely accused of a crime or could have went to jail for something that was easily avoidable. I heard, “Make it right. Do what’s best for you.” You could be in the process of making a life changing decision right now but the air is foggy. It’s okay to be selfish, if it means you’ll be led down the right path. You don’t need to follow what everyone else is doing. Your ancestors want you to know that you don’t need to be so hard on yourself either. Compassionate TLC is what you need to give yourself. I keep seeing images of quick weave hairstyles in my head & my head got itchy while I was doing this reading. I think you need to take a break from these & let your scalp breathe. Let yourself breathe in general. For those of you that are darker skinned, there is a female ancestor (grandmother or aunt) that wants you to know it’s okay to experiment with your personal style. I’m channeling Doechii’s energy. You don’t seem to be conventional, they respect it. So don’t be scared to look different. People will always have something to say but your beauty is admired by all.

“Death cut the strings that gave me life, and handed me to sorrow” - Countee Cullen, Saturday’s Child.

Cards Used: Black Herman, Ace of Knives, Nine of Knives, Eight of Coins, Aunt Caroline, Daughter of Knives, Three of Knives, Six of Baskets.

Pile Two: You do know that you don’t have much to worry about, right? Throughout American history, we have seen the documented struggles of Black Americans. With each generation, the next would have one less thing to worry about. Your ancestors want to tell you that you are more privileged than you think you are. You tend to worry about things that are out of your control. I feel that a lot of you could have dealt with unexpected death a lot in the past couple of years, specifically dealing with the lungs/heart. Your ancestors could have a history of heart disease/lung disease. This could have been a family member that you drifted apart from & you feel guilty for it. But there’s nothing that you can do to change the past, my love! What you can do is take care of your physical body. Join the gym. Drink lemon water. Eat when you feel like it & don’t label any foods are ‘good’ or ‘bad’. I heard someone coughing; you should avoid smoking cigarettes & weed as well or really any substance intake. Eat bananas too! You can only control what goes on with I also feel that some of your ancestors could have been hypochondriacs, had OCD or suffered from religious delusions. I would considering talking to a therapist if you feel that you’re headed down that path. Make decisions that are beneficial to your freedom but remember to count your blessings.

“Our bodies, a mosaic of languages forgotten, of freedom songs and moaned prayers” - Black Girls Rising, Reneé Watson.

Cards Used: Big Mama, Miss Ida, Ace of Sticks, Mother of Sticks, Six of Knives and Three of Sticks.

Pile Three: You’ve been saying you’re going to move out of the city you’re in for too long. Get out and stop talking about your plans to relocate. Your ancestors don’t think that there is anything there for you anymore. Your family could have lived in this city for decades but it’s changed so much that you don’t even recognize it anymore. Some of you could be from the East Coast, specifically Philly or Baltimore. You need to get out before you talk yourself into circles again. Some of y’all could be in school about to finish up a degree; keep going. A grandmother spirit is so so so proud of you. Before you relocate, take some days off to visit so that you can see what this new city is like. Many of your ancestors were not able to make plans and go through with them because of unfortunate life situations. Teen/unexpected pregnancy, severe mental illness and/or murder could have been factors that prevented them from following their dreams. If teen pregnancy runs in the family, you should acknowledge this as a fear of yours so that you can make smart decisions in regard to sex rather than making costly choices. Also, practice safe sex with a partner that is equally as conscious as you. Your ancestors want you to know that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. You have bright ideas and you should share them with the world. Be confident in your spotlight. You deserve to take up space.

BTAA Scarecrow Voice Mannerisms & Habits list

(totally not to encourage more BTAA fanfiction because I’m desperate nooo)

- Practically punctuates every sentence with an inhale. He takes a lot of very short and sharp breaths when talking

- Pitch wavers a lot. Changes it very often especially in the middle of sentences.

- Uses idioms and sayings when speaking sometimes. “Cool as a cucumber,” “Wakey wakey eggs and bakey,” and “Shuffle off to buffalo”

- he has a very clicky and almost hyena like laugh. It’s not how he always laughs but I personally enjoy it. Ive noticed it’s usually when he’s more malicious but not always

- He is. So weird when talking about fear he LOVES using food metaphors and talking about eating fear

- Sings. A lot. Sometimes just a small tune (like when he went “it’s such a short trip from the breath to the blood, from the blood to the brain”), other times it’s full on songs. Not counting the short tune, he sings about three times: when Skid is waking up, when he’s playing the knife game with Skid’s hand, and when he finds the organ and sits down to play Dem Bones

Since It's October...

Say hello to my favourite Halloween band, Creature Feature. I'll share some of my favourite songs from them, in no particular order.

Nearly Departed (zombies!)

The Greatest Show Unearthed (undead circus! Chosen because it's a good example of early Creature Feature)

Dem Bones (mad scientist! chosen because, while I don't much like their comedy stuff, this is, in my opinion, the best of it)

Primitive State (werewolves! On this list because I love werewolves)

American Gothic (creepy countryside! The title track of my favourite album of theirs)

And my favourite

Wake the Dead (sorcerers!)

[adhdzagreus]

Not enough appreciation for the fact that the Mechanisms have a song sung by a raving preacher man/Arthurian knight about how they’re all falling into hellfire to the tune of Dem Bones

[opheliajupiter99]

This is very random, but since Go-Go-Autism started talking about Ice Nine Kills, I wanted to share a random tidbit about the other horror band I listen to that's a lot more obscure, Creature Feature.

I personally consider 'Dem Bones' by Creature Feature to be Bavlorna Blightstraws theme song. If you get it, you get it XD.

ೃ⁀➷ fandoms & characters I write for. ੈ✩‧₊˚

the fandoms I'm currently taking requests for are marked red. my favorite characters to write for will also be marked red.

[teslacoils-and-hubris]

Ooh, yeah! Creature Feature is good!! I’d recommend their song Dr. Sawbones if you haven’t heard it already! It’s the song that got me into them, so I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for it-

I also personally like How To Serve Man, Dem Bones, and The Art of Poisoning, though all their songs are pretty catchy!! :]

I'll admit i'm not their biggest fan, hypothetically I would really like their music but in practice I find the singers voice a bit annoying lol They're fun songs though! Really like the vibe they've got going on even if I don't listen to their stuff too often

ATEEZ(에이티즈) - 'Answer' Official MV

picking up where we left off yesterday with our story with dimension traveling and doppelgangers in much cooler outfits...

10/10 - not as strong on the story part of the story telling but that’s because its for characters and foreshadowing/foreboding.  Also its time to introduce the real bad guy with a very non-subtle face mask.  How DO you react when you run into yourself (in cooler clothes)?  Symbolism abounds.

also the song itself is charged and Ateez really brings it when it comes to dynamic dance sequences.

bonus dark twins getting their dance even MORE dramatically on with a song of their own (seriously, the chorus Hala Hala (15/10) has ONE setting and its Roll Dem Bones)

[just-ornstein]

The band Creature Feature, specifically the song 'Dem Bones' really reminds me of Gilligan and Dexter. The whole vibe of that band and their songs fits so perfectly with those two lol

Oh man I love the creepy vibe a lot! Definitely fits them! Especially how the song kinda delves into the idea of immortality and such.

For Gilligan in general I took some inspiration from three other characters. Two are Palladium and Azrael, who are my Necromancer Elven OCs I've had for quite a while. I haven't really posted them here as I'm not too comfortable posting a lot of art on Tumblr but yeah haha. The other is Ryker, who has been a big inspiration for many of my OCs and stories for years. Ryker is an NPC from the game Divinity Original Sin 2 and he's basically a Necromancer who's long died, but keeps himself from decomposing by absorbing the Source (some kind of magical life force) from others. He's basically a Serial Killer, living of a graveyard where he tends to the death haha! There's two songs that very much remind me of the two those are: Ghosts by Muse. And Euthenasia by Will Wood!

I actually have a playlist for Dexter and Gilligan on my Spotify! The entire playlist is sorted to tell their story from beginning to end so the songs start somewhat happy and slowly delve into angst. :)

I know its literally just cause he likes creature feature films and the song Dem Bones, but do y’all think BTAA!Jon would like the band Creature Feature? I think he would.
