Not that it’s alignment or anything

But I moved out to this area because the closest city is Couer Dalene (“coor delaine”) which is where my grandpa William lived for like 20 years a long time ago. William Couer-gan. Just kidding, his last name was Winsky. But…Billy Corgan. lol OR Couer - Donna Elaine, my mom’s name, but replacing the c with a p makes it sound like poor Donna Elaine, born in the 60s to blind parents. But anyway Billy Corgan and Kurt Cobain were both born of Spring ‘67. Kurt Cobain’s parents were married in Couer D’alene. Kurt’s dad Donald was a car mechanic just like my mom’s brother. What else am I trying to say. I think I’m related to Kurt. Because Donna is the feminine form of Donald. And also that I found out my real dad is not who I thought all my life but someone named Greg Younger and when you put those two names together they sound like Grunger. So that’s pretty cool. The smashing pumpkins were my favorite though, when Billy had hair. But I never got to know my blind Willie grandfather because he died after he’d moved to Boise…but about the same time or just before Kurt cobain’s parents got married in CDA. I’ve figured out a lot of coincidental alignments between Kurt’s family and I and that we’ve had family who’ve lived in the same places. I used to cry about his death like a little baby and feel his ghost console me.

There’s also the whole

thing where my mom, with the same maiden initials as Darcy Wretzky, (Donna Winsky), in a band with 1 William, like her dad, and two James’, like the James my mom would marry a year after this interview.

Donna means woman in Italian and I love that because I guess she inspired these things to be going on. Mom was 6 years older than Darcy and apparently Darcy”s middle name is Elizabeth, the English form of my name. I feel like perhaps I was named after her and not Isabella Rossellini like they tried to tell me because Blue Velvet is a sick film and I much prefer only the original Twin Peaks…to go back to this part of the country, and Washington, and Donna and James in twin peaks, and can I please shut up? No because Leland, the psychologically in denial, abusive dad from Twin Peaks was also the name of Kurt Cobain’s grandpa, was also abusive apparently. And was from the same area that they shot Twin Peaks. But back to women in grunge. Or Darcy’s black devil horn costume. Forget it. I guess I could go on forever, but I really want grunge, or at least grunge culture, open heart sensitivity, normalization of intellect, humility and passion in challenging ourselves to sacrifice our time to the dedication of raw, soulfree independent rock to come back. YOU KNOW? I hope grunge comes back both soft and hard, like the dynamics that we can appreciate well with this band that weren’t orchestrated as well with anyone else I really know about and that people tend to skip over in them to seek in shit like My Bloody Valentine, that earporn. Which is fine,

But Not really, because a balance of rough honesty with sweet sensitivity should be praised and repeated in more independent fastens.

Y’all want Taylor Swift to be gay so bad but you won’t even write femslash about her

[itsnotafashionstatementitsablog]

when a song has a callback to earlier songs on the same album or even songs from a previous album. that’s the good shit right there

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)

I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.

Hello hello dear friends! Time has come!

It's been little more than a year since I started this project and today I can happily announce: I MADE IT. IT'S DONE. YAY. \o/

My computer died a few times on the way but he's okay mostly. And school/work almost drew me insane but I survived! I want to say "thank you" to my mutuals and all people who wanted to see this as much as me.

The comedic potential of Aziraphale loving Christmas in theory but hating it in reality, which gives him catholic guilt/bad angel feelings, so he triples down on Christmas spirit to compensate. He's decking the halls like no tomorrow, he's partidging that pear tree, ohhh he's jingling those bells alright and cooing over the love in the air and isn't it wonderful Crowley, the spirit of christmas my dear, i may have done a little miracle and made it snow in Tadfield, Crowley. Meanwhile he's holed himself up in the bookshop like its under seige from guerilla christmas shoppers, he can't seem to get a single cup of cocoa that doesn't have peppermint in it, 4 children this week have poked him in the belly and asked him if he's santa clause, and to top it all off Mr. Brown has asked him to play the role of Gabriel in the Whickber street Nativity Play.

Crowley's in the corner watching the angel's eye get progressively twitchier and using up his entire demonic miracle quota to make sure Aziraphale's cup never empties of blindingly acoholic eggnog.

never not thinking about “I really hope you get it and you don’t live to regret it” because it is so tragic. Glinda did get what she chose and she regretted it deeply. Elphaba never got anything out of the path she chose but she still chose it again because her morals were more important to her, so she couldn’t regret it. That moment puts them on paths that are destined to never converge and they try so hard to bring themselves back to each other but they can’t do it for longer than the few minutes For Good takes. They say “I hope you’re happy in the end” and to everyone’s surprise Elphaba is and Glinda is not. But they never get what they really want which is to be together again.

I hope wicked 2 ends with an 8 1/2 minute long gratuitous lesbian sex scene with crying and handholding while fiyero politely waits outside. For the girls
