and you may say to yourself: "my god! what have i done?" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful wife!" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful house!" and you may ask yourself: "well, how did i get here?"
time isn't holding up, time isn't after us, time is a pony ride! (images described in alt text)
#gravity falls#fiddleford mcgucket#LETTING THE [FIDDLEFORD FRI]DAYS GO BY#“sir it's tuesday” i know. my computer has been busted for two weeks so i couldn't post them when i wanted to. just let me have this#again still new to alt text. i like being a little bit silly but let me know if it gets in the way of accessibility#artwork of the damned#uhhhh yeah this is actually something ive kind of wanted to draw for years now#favorite guy + favorite band = prime high-effort meme material#also. for the record. yes i have a mcgucket playlist. yes it has three talking heads songs on it. no none of them are “once in a lifetime”#also also i know that the lyrics in the description are in the wrong order. it's on purpose. i put them backwards for dramatic effect#also also also i'm pretty sure the “time is a pony ride” line is not actually sung on the album version of the track#but if you listen to/watch the live version from “stop making sense” you will hear it!#as well as hear a much more satisfying ending to the song imo. rather than it just fading out it has some really nice vocals#basically the moral of this story is you should watch “stop making sense”#if you made it to the end of the tags: congrats! you win a prize! the prize is permission to reblog this post

hi! your blog is one of my favourites and i absolutely adore reading your thoughts. my grandfather recently passed away and it feels like i lost myself with him. how do i continue living after this? there is this constant weight on my chest and it feels like an emptiness has made a home inside of me. how do i go on when it feels like the world crashed on my shoulders?
hello, love! this is so very sweet and kind of you, and i hope you're treating yourself gently and kindly right now - there aren't words for a loss like this. that heaviness is difficult, and hard, and painful. it's okay if things don't feel okay, right now, or even soon - i think that's something that a lot of the people i know that have gone through similar grief feel: like they should be able to get back to a relative 'normal' in a [insert far too short period of time].
but it's okay if it hurts. that's where i'd like to start. you're allowed to feel that emptiness, that world-crashed feeling that goes beyond words, beyond time. don't feel like you have to rush this to feel some sort of better. things get easier with time, i promise you this, but sometimes painful feelings are important to feel, too. cry, scream, feel your emotions. they're a part of you. grieve.
it's perhaps a little silly, but when i think about death i always think about a couple of space songs: mainly drops of jupiter by train and saturn by sleeping at last. there are perhaps others that speak to the emotions better, but these two have always hit something a little deeper for me, and are popular for a wide-reaching reason.
and while personally i don't know much about grief like this, i do know a lot about love; and i think they're a lot of the same thing.
the people we love are a part of us, and this is why it takes from us so deeply when we lose them, because it does feel like we've lost a part of ourselves in the wake of it. but it's because they were so central to our experiences of living - our lives, that the separation introduces a hollowness - a place where they used to be. a home that now goes unlived in.
an emptiness, like you said.
but just because they're not here physically, doesn't mean he's not still there, in your heart, in your life, your memory. you can hold him close in smaller ways, as well: steal a sweater, or cologne/scent for something a little more physical and long lasting for remembering. hold onto the memories you cherish, the things that made you laugh, the ease of slow mornings and gentle nights. write them all down, slide a few photographs in there, go through it and add more when you miss him. keep them all close, keep them in your heart.
you're not alone, in this. he's still there, with you, it's just - in the little things.
he's with you in the way you see and go about your daily life, in doing what he liked to do, in the ways he interacted with the world that you shared with him. the memories you recall fondly when the night is late or the moment is right and something calls it into you like a melody, an old bell, laughter you'd recognize anywhere.
but i think, perhaps most importantly above all others - talk about him. with your family, your friends, his friends, strangers; stories are how we keep the people we love alive. the connections they've made, the legacies and experiences they've left behind, and so, so many stories.
how lucky, we are - to love so much it takes a piece of us when they go. grief is the other side of the coin, but it does not mean our love goes away. it lives in you. it lives in everyone who knew him, in the smallest pieces of our lives.
the people we love never really leave us, like this: they're in how we cook and the way we fold our newspapers, our laundry, in the radio stations we tune in to and the way we decorate our walls, our photo albums. they're in the way we store our mail, organize our closets, the scribbled notes in the indexes of our books. the meals we love and the drinks we mix, the way we spend time with one another. they've been passed down for generations, for longer than history - and we are all the luckier for it.
think about what you shared with him, and do it intentionally. bring him into your life, like this, again. whether it's crosswords or poetry or sports or anything else. if one doesn't help, try another. something might click.
i hope things feel a little easier for you, as they tend to do only with time. i hope you find joy in your grief, even if it is small and hard to grasp at first. know that your hurt stems from so much love that there isn't a place to put it properly, and that it is something so meaningful and hurting poets and storytellers have been struggling to put it into words and sounds that feel like the fit right for eons, and that it is also just simply yours. sometimes things don't have to make sense. sometimes they just are - unable to be put into words or neat little sentiments, as unfair and tragic as they come.
but i promise it will not feel like this forever. your love is real. and perhaps, on where to begin on from here - i think it's less on finding where to begin and just beginning. and you've already started. you've taken the most important and crucial step: the first one. wherever you go, after that, from here? you'll figure it out. you always have, and you always do. it'll come, as things always do. love leads us, as does light - and you're never alone in your hurt. in your grief, your missing something dear to you. i think if you talk about it with others, you'll find they have ways of helping you cope as well - and they have so much love of their own to spare, too.
as an aside, here is the song (northern star by dom fera) i was listening to when i wrote this, for no other reason more than it makes me think of connections, and love, and how we hold onto the people we love and how they change us, wonderfully and intrinsically. it's a little more joyous than the others i've mentioned, and plays like a story, and it made me think of what is at the core of this, love and stories and i am here with you, and maybe it'll bring you some joy, if you'd like it. wishing you all my love and ease 💛
#q&a.#birdsong.#wishing u gentle ease; the death of a loved one is near inexplicable to put into words and i hope you take care of yourself gently <3#i hope this will make u laugh: when i was a tiny child in middle school there were times i would go outside in my tiny suburban cul de sac-#in the rain and sing along to my lil ipod nano and i only remember doing this to drops of jupiter. can you imagine going out to get the mai#after a long day of work and you just hear this kid singing train in the streets. in the RAIN.... it makes me laugh like i really.#i really thought i was so cool and deep and emotional ghjkd but i find it v funny that i only remember it w/ that one train track.#and saturn just. it's my fav s.a.l. song for a reason. that slow violin opening? the piano coming in gentle and easy?#it feels like light. like hope. like something new - a dawn after the long dark. that beautiful things can begin again even where#it hurts. and there is nothing more human than a sentiment like that.#how rare and beautiful it is to truly exist. what it is to be alive and get to be here and live with other people. with those we love.#i think your grandfather was so lucky to be able to know you. to have you in his life for the time you had together.#i'm no spiritual person; but i like to believe when you're thinking about him? he's thinking about you too.#the second law of thermodynamics (physics nerd mode) is that no energy has ever been created/destroyed since the beginning of the universe.#so it has to go somewhere - it's that carl sagan quote of 'we're all made of stardust'. because we are. we used to be stars; planets; etc.#i think it's why i think of these space songs - because they're a part of everything; once more; when they go. us and everything else.

xdinary heroes truly are the most criminally underrated group right now huh.
#guess who finally listened to the album they released in. sigh. april.#they keep surpassing themselves with each new release but the production quality on this album is really fucking next level.#some of the songs genuinely sound like classic timeless rock anthems to me#like i can't wrap my mind around the fact that#the guys who started out with happy death day reached the musical level that money on my mind is on#they're so painfully underrated it KILLS me how little chance i have of ever hearing them live#taemin woodz and xh are the only kpop acts i'd pay literally any amount of money to see live once in my life and that's. saying something#xh#i'm so torn on favs from this album. dreaming girl is such a unique sound i'm genuinely obsessed with this song. but so is paint it.#and money on my mind. AND WALKING ON THE MOON...#UNTIL THE END OF TIME................

hi, hello, i am very not normal, so here's which madilyn mei song(s) i think fit each rtc character the most
colour coded for your convenience :) and also i thought it looked pretty
constance - partner in crime. i think it very much gives pre-character-development ocean and constance vibes; "you do the talking, sew up my mouth if i can't keep it closed."
sheep in wolf's clothing could also fit, maybe? potentially?
noel - never the muse. "always the poet, never the poetry", etc etc, he longs to be tragic and stuff. i think it fits?
some lines from little long legs also work; "i wouldn't mind rain, or to only speak solely in poetry quotes or a dance, or a ticket to france"
jane - flesh and bone. i will never shut up about her with this song istg, it fits her so well!! "i wish to live outside this hollowed head of mine, did i exist if i was only ever thoughts?" it just!!
some lines from the chapel could also fit her potentially? "i'm missing a time that i've never known" and "i remember a song, i sung along, but how did it go?" kinda give me jane vibes, idk
ricky - dress like a pirate. instinct was to say the milk carton, because. cats. but i think this works too? the whole escapism/imagining sailing away from your life thing? as well as "don't wanna spread any hate or do much plundering to ya", because he's a lover not a fighter? idk
ocean - one man circus. it's currently unreleased, but i thought the snippet here fit her well enough? (that link doesn't really work but just click through the 'wips' highlights until you see the one that says 'one man circus' at the top)
i was honestly stumped for this one tbh. the hare verse of tho i'm a tortoise could also maybe work? idk. she was the hardest lol
edit: i think good ol' hollywood could also maybe fit her? it's also unreleased, but you can listen here. i feel like the "i had dreams of being something" and just. the whole vibe i think fits ocean? idk
misha - the milk carton. i was struggling to think of one for him, and also ik i said this one for ricky too, but i think this fits? "my brain is still at home, home's far away" and "i had it good, and yet i've left and can't retrace my steps" feel fitting enough? like, about how he left ukraine? idk
oh, oh, also let's be friends (reimagined) maybe? "we know we don't fit, but the screen seems like it could be home" kinda fits?? maybe?? idk please help me lol
#apologies i know this is incredibly niche#i just really like madilyn mei and also rtc#btw if anyone has a screen recording of that one instagram live a few months ago#where she sang happy endings and one man circus and a few others i think#i would love you forever if you could share it with me#also when new songs release i might revise this list idk#apologies if these are inaccurate :'D i tried my best#but also i'd love to hear your opinions#ride the cyclone#rtc#madilyn mei#constance blackwood#noel gruber#jane doe rtc#ricky potts#ocean o'connell rosenberg#misha bachynskyi#bagel thoughts

#sorry getting overly emotional about sonic game ending themes again. you know how it is#sonic frontiers#sonic frontiers spoilers#sonic frontiers the final horizon#UGHHHHH ITS SO . like for one its already a good song on its own. but also#the way the original version of the song was the theme of the final boss in the ending where sage sacrifices herself#but then it gets repurposed and given new meaning as the ending theme#of the version of the story where she gets to live and go home safe .... oughhh#well she ends up being brought back after the original ending anyway. but still.#also i just really like im with you. like the original version. so hearing the new version at the credits was like ohhh my god. oh my god

Girls and spirits are seeking for ‘something’.
Either the ownerless place to live, the cause of this brand new incident, or simply want to unleash their provoked will.

WHAT is it this reminds me so much of?? It's like...just pre-Britpop, mid-'90s, maybe even American indie of some kind? All the elements are familiar and I can't work out if they're familiar to one particular other song or band or what....
#i do like it and it's growing on me but there's something determinedly...not bland...idk...i'm a bit trepidatious about the new album actual#but then i was a bit that way before nature always wins and that one is genuinely good even if it's a bit too parental in the lyrics for me#unfortunately the end can be as good as the start seems more like this than like favourite songs too#i can practically hear it coming out of safe mid-afternoon local radio in my childhood?#favourite songs is a proper banger - nothing *new* but really classic maximo sound which is great to hear again#and the rest of the album could be more like that who knows. and they may well be songs that i feel differently about after hearing live#we'll find out in autumn i guess!#but i miss the sounds they were playing with in great art and north by northeast#look they're my beloveds i'm not going to hate it whatever it is#and they couldn't keep getting better and better haha that would be silly right haha#don't mind me just fretting over the obsolete middle aged indie band everyone thinks disbanded years ago because they're a part of me#not as a pleasure any more than i am always a pleasure to myself#mon the park#Spotify

listening to the hackney diamonds live “album” [those like 7 songs that they recorded live] and it’s honestly so jarring how much better the new material is without the horrific production, like truly just astounded the production of the album was so horrible that a group of 80 year old men just fucking around on stage sounds so much better ? you’d think it’d be the other way around but alas andrew watt seems to be in a competition with himself to see how horrendous he can make an album sound via production
#i like the album and all but i had to train my ears to not hear the production which is… not good#the first listen i tried not to let it effect my thoughts on the actual music but it was very hard to ignore#like my heart dropped when the first line of keith’s song came on and he sounded SO autotuned#i think it’s a fine album#good turn your brain off stones music#not like as good or as bad as other albums#but that production is so horrific#it sounds really good live which i guess is what matters since that’s what you really really pay to see#but like andrew watt really fucked it up in the studio#which sucks ! because this is proof that you really do not need to be doing all that#and i’ve said a few times but it should not have been *that* obvious keith wasn’t behind the boards at all#like him and mick produce in a way you barely notice and so having so much production made it so bad 😭#tired of andrew watt is a savior narrative because he really dropped the ball and im terrified for him to do new music with other artists#tbh#it’s really really…. mmmm#also if the stones release another album with the hackney outtakes they better not go with watt again#he deserves to be locked in a closet#stones

dh day 1 first watch thoughtsdump:
SASARO!!!
KIRYU-CHAN!!!!!!
CREEPY NUTS!!!!!!!!!
enishi still slaps as severely as always
what the hell was kuroda wearing
not to old meme on main but like
literally whenever we caught a glimpse of his shoes i could not help but think
WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOOSE
this is a really delayed reaction and i’m an idiot for not realizing sooner (it’s just asnm eliminates my ability to think) but
clearly the cross a line lines where the division leaders are singing solo
sound super unique from the studio version
BECAUSE THEIR VOICES ARE ISOLATED
WHEN THEY AREN’T ON THE STUDIO VERSION
obviously
iwasaki sounded really good today too!! i think i’ll love them all and lose my mind every time lmao
makes me wonder what isolated solo audio of other all-stars parts would sound like
ANYWAY SO OSAKA
their energy is so unique to them and so phenomenal
like that goes for all six divisions and it’s why it’s so hard to play favorites imo
they all have an energy of their own and i love it all
really excited to see wtf kuroda is going to wear on day 2
futsuuuuuu no fashion as he would call it (lyingly)
imagine having a dad who dresses like stoner cruella de vil smh (affectionate)
kawanishi kengo still cutest man alive
hrugnrhg also i love creepy nuts so today’s guest was such a win for me
#crab watches#8th live#THANK YOU DEAREST FOR WATCHING WITH ME <3#i've seriously fully come around to the solo lives#like yes it's a hit to the wallet but#really love the connect the line concept it's so cool#also!! i should be granted monkhood for this bc#i've held off on listening to the dh/bat new solo songs#in their entirety (i did listen to the demos a lot ofc)#so that i could hear the full versions for the first time while watching the lives#and the wait! was!! worth it!!!#really looking forward to the bat ones too

Say dontcha know me, I’m your native son
Good Night, America How Are Ya
#not a train#but this is a good song#i wasn’t alive during the era the IC was#but my dad was#and he lived along the tracks most of his life#walking them with his friends and sometimes his dog#taking insulators down from poles and what not#having spike souviners and watching the trains go by while fishing in the nearby reservoir#and he always talk about how he watched the old IC E units go by#dressed in that gorgeous brown and orange scheme#he saw the City Of New Orleans many times during his childhood and into his teen years#and he loves that song#obviously the IC is no more#but when he introduced me to that song#he said he liked the Arlo Guthrie version better than the Johnny Cash version#when asked why#he said it was because Arlo’s version captured the real feel of the IC#and I think about it often#and I often feel a little melcholy when I hear the song#it’s sad#but heartfelt and sweet#that a train run by a road that’s not nearly as well known as others#was remembered and loved enough for someone to write a song so emotional that you feel bad about a train#ic#Illinois central#i reccomend the song#is nice and sweet and slow paced#really gets you to appreciate the smaller things in life and the glory day of things gone by#i love some of the other tags on this post#very sweet and kind

DPxDC "Pick Me Up"
The stream goes live on the first day of the school year. It's the usual song and dance - mad laughing, threats, poor jokes, terror, and about thirty kids huddled together in a classroom behind Joker's back. Tim recognizes it as one of the Gotham Academy classrooms. Dick can't imagine the horror those kids' parents must be feeling right now. Jason jokes about middle school traumatic experiences. Damian is feeling very justified for skipping classes today.
Bruce, all suited up in his Batman garb, is making his way to the Academy as fast as he possibly can. Those are kids.
Gotham is once again anxiously kept on the edge of their seats, watching as Joker decides to interview the kids on their learning experience so far. Something about leaving a good first impression on the new generation or some other bullshit. Most kids stutter over their words - it's true that Gothamites are way more composed when facing life-threatening events, but those kids are only fourteen or fifteen for the most part. They are not old enough to keep their cool in the face of a murder clown.
That is, until Joker points his camera at one of the girls. Black hair in a high ponytail, blue eyes without a trace of fear, a slightly displeased, even bored expression on her face. She looks straight into the camera, not even waiting for the laughing madman to finish his question, and deadpans:
"I don't think I like school. Pick me up, please."
Joker sputters.
"Not so scared, I see," he sneers, and, in the next moment, a comically large gun painted in purples and greens is pointed to the girl's forehead, "How about now?"
The girl scrunches her nose and makes a so-so gesture.
"It's kinda meh," she admits, "Like, yeah, points for style, but you know, size doesn't matter. It's all in the technique."
Dick snorts over the comms. It's a bad time for laughing, sure, but the phrase caught him off-guard. This is not what you'd expect to hear from a teen, and definitely not something you'd expect anyone to say to the Joker. Jason's comms are muted, but Barbara knows he also laughed a little.
"Technique, you say?" Joker hisses, pressing the gun closer to the girl's head, and she winces, leaning away from it, almost as if she is disgusted by the touch.
"Yeah, I mean, guns are not that scary anyway. What are you gonna do with them, blast my brains all over the floor? Been there, done that," the girl shrugs, "Kinda nasty, but overall, it's just like slime, only sticky." She pauses and looks to the side, seemingly lost in thought, "Huh, maybe we should have added Borax to it. Or was it baking soda?.."
"Listen here, you little brat," Joker's fingers catch the girl's chin, and his voice becomes sickeningly menacing. Bruce is almost there, just two more minutes. Tim is already grappling onto the wall.
But none of them get to finish.
"Put your dirty fingers away from my sister," a low, cold, and even in a way that speaks of barely contained fury, voice comes from out of the screen.
The camera spins, like whoever is holding it turned really fast, and everyone watching the stream sees a fairly normal guy standing by the window - a turtleneck and ripped jeans, same black hair as the girl, same blue eyes... Wait, they are not blue.
And that's not a guy.
The camera falls down to the floor, and there are a lot of panicked screams coming from the broadcast now, but none of them sound like children's voices. It's the screams of adults, of grown-ass men, and later, someone even claimed they heard Joker's scream among them, too. The picture on camera glitches a few times, and the angle is awkward, but everyone still gets to see how shadows in the room morph into eyes, wide open and green, and how the darkness grows sharp teeth, countless grinning mouths that don't belong to any faces.
Screams turn into gargling and then to quiet whispers, filling the ears of all those listening with countless words in languages they don't know.
Red Robin turns off the recording and looks to that same guy from the levestream, sitting across him on the couch. The guy - Daniel, or Danny, as he introduced himself - looks him in the eyes and raises an eyebrow.
"Okay, and?"
"How did you do it?" Tim asks for the third time this evening. Danny blinks.
"Did what?" He asks, completely incomprehending. Tim groans. He's been trying to get his answers, any answers at this point, from the guy for thirty fucking minutes already. So far, he's got nothing. Danny, whoever the fuck he is, proves to be the most annoying human being on Earth.
"Seven people in a coma, including Joker himself, with no physical injuries and none of the children remember a thing! How?!" He demands, and a girl's face peeks from around the corner:
"I remember!"
Tim snaps his head at her, "What do you remember?"
The girl pauses, blinks, and looks to Danny. Then shrugs, "My brother picked me up from school."
Tim drops his head down and breathes out in frustration. He can't force the information out of civilians, he is a vigilante, not a mafia.
"Would it make you feel better if I promise not to do it again?" Danny asks, and his voice is way too innocent for Tim to believe him. He raises his head to look the guy in his shameless, amused eyes.
"I hate you."
"Thanks," Danny grins.
