realised yesterday just how often hozier actually used to sing about being not quite alive, not feeling like a person, about loving someone in a way that defies death and made him more alive, about suffering death for love. it's like he was constantly being buried underground and unearthed by love, over and over, which, while romantic in a way, is also incredibly sad. but i think it's interesting how his latest album (literally called 'unreal unearth') takes this idea and makes it its central theme. that's what this album is, one man's descent into the underworld. except, crucially, he makes it to the other side, and ends the album saying the darkness will come again, but this time he is "never going back [to hell] again." it feels like such a full-circle moment considering the rest of his discography and i'm so very excited to see what comes after this

no home is so refreshing in it’s themes and the character writing, the kids go through all kinds of situations but they’re not by any means portrayed as tortured martyrs,, that’s something I appreciate a lot and it’s because the story takes it’s time to show many sides of conflict and how the mcs can be mean and unfair and don’t magically get their shit together at the end of an arc and not everyone understands why they’re like that and it’s so human !!!!!!!!!!! read no home by wanan 🫂

Even before all the concussions, Steve’s brain is something else. Not quite slow, but not fast either. His wires get crossed a lot. His memory can be shitty but also at the same time he can remember anything.
The thing he hates most is that words get stuck in his head, he can be talking about something and he knows the word. It’s right there in front of him, can describe it but his brain can’t give the word up. Even if he opens his mouth to pronounce it, the word refuses to make itself known. The word just dances in his head, never wanting to come out. Usually the longer words, like procrastinate. He knows the word, can describe it and work around it. But he can not for the life of him, say or even spell the word. It’s the worst.
Being surrounded by people that treat him like he’s dumb, it sucks. Especially when words get stuck. He tries to explain whatever word gets stuck and then whoever he’s with will say the word but will always make a note about him being dumb and not remembering a word like consistency or something simple like ceilings. He’ll never admit out loud how much it hurts him that his own friends treat him like he’s dumb.
