bradley marchand you will always be a boston bruin because you are boston hockey: scrappy and fierce and endlessly loyal. fifty years ago in boston garden the rats were so tough they wore leather jackets. well, now they’re tough enough to play bruins hockey. this city sees itself in you and you’ll always be one of us, one of ours.

so I was watching heat again last night and something that always gets me is Don Breedan. cause his story is a footnote in the grand mccauley-hanna epic, something that plays out in a few stolen scenes, but it does matter. the shot of his girlfriend in the bar learning about his death from the five o'clock news is kinda blink-and-you-miss-it but it is there. Don Breedan who got out of prison and found a job, who was trying to start a new life, whose girlfriend was proud of him. whose new boss takes advantage of his status under the criminal justice system to steal his wages and treat him as less than human. Don Breedan who is trying so hard to make it work even as the disrespect crushes his dignity-- and then Neil McCauley walks back into his life, and offers him a job. Neil comes to him with respect, talks to him like a man, and the choice is obvious, but it's equally obvious to the audience that Don really doesn't have a choice. and then he dies, gunned down in an explosive shootout in the streets of LA, a crossfire casualty in a battle he never really had a stake in. but Mann doesn't forget him, and neither have I.

finally started reading the raven cycle after hearing abt it for years… im about halfway thru the second book now and it occurs to me that gansey has frankly ridiculous amounts of weird quasi-romantic tension with pretty much everybody (which to be clear is not a complaint I’m having a great time I love how much they all care about each other even if they have a hard time showing it)

okay okay you know what time it is.... not the fucking ides of march it's (two days before) St Patrick's Day baby!!!! so here's the Snailman St. Patrick's Day playlist:
Irish Pub Song | The High Kings basically sums up the holiday in one go. Wherever you go around the world around the world, you'll find an Irish pub.
The Rising of the Moon | The Clancy Brothers (and Tommy Makem) commemorates the 1798 Wexford Rebellion when the United Irishmen took up arms against the British. This is one of the ones that's just in my veins, yanno? It's not as upbeat as the High Kings' ver. but that's my childhood right there.
The Fields of Athenry | The High Kings is one of my all-time favorite songs, ever. It tells the story of a young couple separated by the cruelty of the Famine and the English law. Heartbreaking but beautiful. (Check out the Dropkicks' punk rock version for some of the more interesting tonal dissonance I've ever heard XD)
The Irish Rover | The Clancy Brothers (and Tommy Makem) I'll be shocked if I don't hear this one spilling out of some pub doors tomorrow. When I was a kid I thought it was a tragedy. Now it's a gamble if I can get through without cracking up.
The Wild Rover | The High Kings Look to be honest I suspect if you don't know this one you might just get thrown out on your ear. Couldn't be me though! And it's no nay never...
Rose Tattoo | The Dropkick Murphys C'mon. I'm from Boston. It was a given.
The Parting Glass | The High Kings Sooner or later we've all gotta pick ourselves up and head home. Goodnight and joy be to you all!
obviously these are just a handful of my favorites, and I could talk about this stuff ALL day (hit my inbox and try me) but I hope you like at least two of em. these are the songs I grew up on. they're in my blood. have a wonderful, relatively safe St. Paddy's.
(bonus: skip to 1:13)

hmmm I do like the idea of bartleby + loki eventually being able to regrow their wings, both because angels with amphibian regeneration abilities is funny and because redemption as opposed to damnation is an important concept to me faith-wise… but the thing is. the thing is they’re never gonna be like they used to be. maybe they’re not snowy white anymore, maybe they’re dappled and streaked like bird wings (because that would be so fun to draw lmao) because you can heal but you can never go back. and that’s okay. just because you’re scarred doesn’t mean you’re broken. maybe your wingspan is wider now because you’re not seeing the world in black and white. and it’s going to hurt. because it is what it is: bone tearing through skin and scar tissue. because this sort of thing always hurts like hell. it burns and it bleeds and it aches because that’s what healing feels like.
but uh at least they have each other to rub tiger balm into those hard to reach spots?
