Like Theseus's ship, we'll fix the busted bits

'Til it's both nothing like and everything

It's always been

It's a wonder we expect a thing to

Stay the same at all

Maybe that's what it's all about

We keep fixing what we know is only bound to break

What's worth saving is never worth letting go to waste

I want to mend what I've got, instead of throwing away

- "Theseus", The Oh Hellos

[chiropteracupola]

Ain't nothing come easy / No, nothing comes quick / But I want for you this, that you are well / I want for us this, that we are well...

♫ Oh, that peace like a river Always going, but never getting

Seems like maybe it's not all that much a place As it is a way And ways don't ever seem to want to Stay too still for too long ♫

Thank you the oh hellos for giving us the line "it's gonna hurt like hell, but we're gonna be well."

Maybe if I listen to Theseus on repeat I’ll regain hope that everything will be ok

[bruggle]

Maybe it's because I don't watch a lot of stuff, but I can't think of a single time I've ever heard someone who is asked the Ship of Theseus question ask their own:

Is something worth getting rid of because of one bad/broken part?

Because yeah, ultimately, if you replace the rotten boards of a ship little by little over time, it honestly isn't the same ship anymore. But...

Why would you want it to be?

That's honestly why I love Theseus so much; because it does ask that question.

And it says no. It isn't worth getting rid of.

Mend it

And it acknowledges that it's not going to be easy.

But its worth it to be better.

I don't know how to explain how Theseus by The Oh Hellos is such a healing song as a trans neurodiverse person trying to grow as an adult and become the person I both want and need to be. Slowly fixing, working on and perfecting the parts of yourself that maybe don't need replacing, but could use some fine tuning, some repairs, some changes. To become something that is still you, undoubtedly and wholly YOU, but grown, changed, and made to be the best version of yourself, slowly, painfully, but surely.

Whatever kingdom come,

It probably won't come quick

No mighty clarion to announce it

No single use ark to discard in an instant

Like Theseus's ship,

We'll fix the busted bits

Romantic or not - I don’t think these two have a relationship til they’re both old gals and have been through the wringer.

Maybe thats what its all about, keep fixing what we know is only bound to break. Its worth saving, its never worth letting go to waste. I want to mend what I've got instead of throw it way.

Lu-tober day 22

Prompt: Healing List: Flufftober

As much as I love angsty stuff about Wilds hyrule being one of the emptiest or the emptiest, I've found I always enjoy the fics about it healing more. IDK, there's just something about this kingdom of people coming together after this great catastrophe to rebuild that gets to me. I prefer interpretations where Wild is proud of his hyrule. Sure, its full of ruins and a bit desolate, but it survived. Even after everything, its rebuilding. Wild really does love his hyrule for all its got.

Anyways, I need everyone to go listen to 'Theseus' by The Oh Hellos right now. Its always a song that gave me Wild energy, and I just think its fits perfectly. Most of this piece is based on the song, and its just fantastic, Give it a listen.

Thirteen/Amy/Rory Theme Songs

Just letting y'all know that Grace by Florence + the Machine, Theseus by the Oh Hellos, and Pink in the Night by Mitski are THE three songs for the 13/Amy/Rory dynamic. I don't make the rules. I'm not going to post the full playlist for awhile (spoilers and all that), but I want y'all to know that going into this series. Here are the spotify links if y'all are curious!

[deadchovsky]

Also. I have to say it. Some of you are fucking annoying about fandoms liking particular songs. Ascribing new meanings based on other media to music isnt a bad thing, my guy.
