“Bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones, bones. The ultimate Jedi who wastes all the other Jedi has eaten up all their bones, all their bones, bones, bones, bones, bones.”

one thing that makes me sad is that whenever i start listening to a song or a new artist or w/e and go search tumblr for it, i don't get like. analyses of the songs or art drawn for the music or anything. it's just pics or gifs of people.

and like yeah obviously people interact with things they like in their own unique ways but. i honestly genuinely really do not care about stanning real people, so it's kind of awful for me personally lol

specifically just their bones all the soft parts you can keep its the bones that have the calcium, so he says

THIS line goes hard, THAT line goes hard, no line will ever go harder than “Specifically just their bones./All the soft parts you can keep./“It’s the bones that have the calcium”, so he says.” from the Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All The Other Jedi and Eats Their Bones by John “Motherfucking” Darnielle

Song of the Day: May 4

"The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All the Other Jedi and Eats Their Bones" by The Mountain Goats

[freckliedan]

using only song titles from one band/artist, cleverly answer the questions and tag people.

ty for the tag @kristines-galaxy-of-blackholes!! i absolutely have to do the mountain goats for this! and this is going off titles alone, not song vibes as a whole.

gender: wrong! heretic pride. (2 separate songs but. most accurate answer to the question of my gender).

how you feel: new world emerging blues.

if you could go anywhere, where: going to utrecht (listen to me. look into my eyes. someone very important to me who is the person i most want to visit in the world & have never had the chance to lives in utrecht. perfect song).

fav mode of transportation: tape travel is lonely.

if my life were a TV show: as many candles as possible.

relationship status: there will be no divorce.

your fear: whole wide world (according to my nervous system). the plague (self explanitory). [slip away from me] (<-in brackets because it's an untitled song only performed live once but we have a great tape of it. anyways choosing this because. well. fear of loss).

tagging (if you want to do this!): @slayter-kinney, @birthdaywolf, @willowfey, @milfygerard, @freckliephil, @dnphobe, @yonpote, @cactuslester, @deathclassic, literally anyone else who wants to give this a shot! i'm sleepy and cam't remember urls right now!

bonus fun fact. two of the most fun mountain goats song titles are a) thank you mario but our princess is in another castle and b) the ultimate jedi who wastes all the other jedi and eats their bones. but i'm putting the LONGEST mountain goats title under a readmore.

the song "The Proliferation of Marvel Universe Timelines Has Made It Impossible For Me to Use Search Engines to Determine Which Issue From the 70s Had Loki Predicting the Immanence of Ragnarok In Its Final Panel But It Certainly Wasn’t #272, or, New Mountain Goats Tape Song" was posted with the title "In Desperate Times Must Character Limits Re-Harsh Our Mellow? Or, New Mountain Goats Tape Song" to youtube in promotion of the album songs for pierre chuvin, which was recorded and released during early lockdown for covid.

the comic issue in question was #273.

part of the fun of being a goats fan is going through their huge-ass discography, or hearing them play some obscure track live, and fixating on that specific deep cut song to be your new favorite. here are some of mine, what's yours

[punk-chicken-radio]

the mountain goats - the ultimate jedi who wastes all the other jedi and eats their bones

-ax and TOS

A little more art from the Eidolon: Become Your Best Self campaign I’m running, featuring catboy maybe-clones, Station Master Tama, murderous bite orbs and The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All the Other Jedi and Eats Their Bones.

Cannot recommend the Eidolon system enough, also. It’s a ridiculous amount of fun and I love the hell out of it.

well now the question is if tmg and mcr each covered one of each other's songs. what would it be. personally i would kill to hear the matt douglas saxophone take on the wttbp intro

I absolutely agree with you on Matt Douglass wttbp, that's definitely high on my list. I would love to hear tmg do not that kind of girl, honestly, and vampires will never hurt you (vampires as addiction metaphors RISE UP!), and desert song would be really fucked up and I'd like to hear it. My top pick for the goats to cover is My Way Home. it feels like a going to [x] song, and I really wanna hear jon wuster fuck it up on that track.

my #1 need is for mcr to cover the Jordan lakes session version of See America Right with the loooong guitar solo outro (RAYYY) and the "when we never make it make to California I want you to know I love you" lyric change. I also really think that gerard would have a blast with foreign object. I need to hear what ray and frank would do with werewolf gimmick. I really would love basically anything off of heretic pride, but especially Lovecraft in brooklyn or Michael Myers resplendent.

The REAL answer is that mcr should cover The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All the Other Jedi and Eats Their Bones, obviously.

hello hi i would LOVE to hear about Character ! 2, 10, 25 for the adult fiction writers ask game thing? :]

yayy, thank u sting!! (this is why ur my favorite <3)

2. What does your character do for a living, and how did they end up in that line of work or profession?

Nicolosa Allegranza (aka Nico) is a fledgling professional monster hunter, currently specializing in vampires! Or, trying to anyway. Things keep getting in the way of actually killing monsters, but they have killed a non-zero amount (and gotten paid for it!), so, it counts. She does it for Religious Reasons, having been kind of a miracle baby so her mom wanted to dedicate her to their church, and of their church's specialties (prophecy, healing, hunting, cultivating) hunting was the one that appealed to her the most.

10. Does your character have any special abilities, skills, or talents? How did your character develop or fine-tune them?

Nico is very good at sensing other people's intentions, partially through magical/divine means and partially through regular intuition/experience. She's also highly trained with a greatsword, which is especially impressive considering she's 5' 2" lmao

25. If your character had a Spotify or similar playlist that perfectly described them, what might be on it?

funny you should ask this bc she does have exactly such a playlist... it would have old country songs, the mountain goats album Bleed Out, and, if such a song were on spotify, The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All The Other Jedi And Eats Their Bones, also by the mountain goats

remembering for @linearao3 that Gideon the Ninth was described as “This book is sort of like if Utena had been made by Evanescence, sort of like if The Last Jedi had actually followed the plot of the Mountain Goats’ ‘The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All the Other Jedi and Eats Their Bones’”

TMG song asks: up the wolves, steal smoked fish, ultimate jedi who wastes all the other jedi and eats their bones, and heretic pride <3

Up The Wolves – this was one of the songs i listened to a lot when i first got into TMG during (guess what) a time when i was Going Through It. Different parts of the song have all slammed me with the steel chair depending on the context, but the lines that hit these days are

There's gonna come a day when you feel better You'll rise up free and easy on that day And float from branch to branch Lighter than the air

it feels adjacent to "this too shall pass" in a holding out for ease kind of way

Steal Smoked Fish - i see you friendo with this specific song ask because we've talked about it with respect to grief and working in health professions. the lyric that's just seared into my brain is

I see your destinies above you Like angels who don't love you

The Ultimate Jedi Who Wastes All the Other Jedi and Eats Their Bones – i've only heard this one a handful of times because it's not on the platform i use to make playlists but the absurdism gets me every time. In particular, this line –

Specifically just their bones, all the soft parts you can keep It’s the bones that have the calcium, so he says

Heretic Pride – this one gives me great big trans feelings and while it'd be easy to pick "i feel so proud to be alive," this line packs so much into it

Transfiguration's gonna come for me at last And I will burn hotter than the sun

send me a Mountain Goats song title and I'll tell you my favorite line(s)
