one of my favorite parts about that scene in season 3 episode 7 of the umbrella academy is right after the umbrellas and sparrows “contained” the keugelblitz and celebrate by opening several bottles of alcohol and partying, because in every single shot ben is in, he’s either trying to get himself or five as wasted as possible
Okay. Yeah, all right, uh... Yeah. Okay. Chefs, listen up. Let's look alive, yeah? I'm gonna plug everybody in, all right? Let's hustle. Let's listen to the sound of my voice and the sound of Richie's. We're gonna do this, yeah?
Redeath by the Mechanisms is one of those songs that I think is always going to haunt me. The first time I heard it and actually paid attention to the lyrics it instilled a kind of strange cosmic awe and a jealousy that I hadn’t come up with something so hauntingly disturbing first.
It’s like. A planet falls into its sun, and unfurls giant fiery wings, revealing itself to be an unfathomably enormous eldritch creature. It steals the sun as its own, before flying off into the void to presumably go back into a kind of hibernation as a planet for millennia before it ‘dies’ once more. Millions of creatures will likely learn to call it home without ever guessing at its true form. What is it? Where does it come from? Are there more? We don’t know! These immortal space pirates saw it once, because it operates on a timeframe that is impossibly long even for them, and the universe is so vast that they may never see it again. So instead, they write a haunting song about it. To keep some record of this impossible being and its strange beauty. You cannot understand it, so you may as well admire it.
‘the black bastard of the wall’ moniker is the exact opposite of the ‘white wolf’ moniker and this perfectly highlights the irreconcilable differences between book Jon and show Jon
I truly believe Will Wood is an incredible musician and songwriter and is one of the top lyricists in the last decade both in and outside of the genres that he chooses to play in with absolutely zero irony. I also believe that you can only fully understand that if you’ve either had a pet die before listening to his music or you have a history of drug abuse and mental health crises. Or you’re trans.
cats merch idea that nobody will make: ballerina music boxes, but with victoria (white cat solo) and mistoffelees (turns obvi, the part where he flips his hands out during the brass blare). the victoria one would play the slow theme from the white cat solo. in my heart i want the misto music to be from the turns in the dance break but i don't think that would translate very well to a music box; realistically it would be a phrase of the "magical mister mistoffelees" chorus
you could probably make ones with other cats who have characteristic poses/music but i don't think it would translate as perfectly, you know?
Literally just found out that Hozier has a first name??? Don’t hit me with this “Andrew” dude- your name is Hozier H Hozier and you sit down and write gut-wrenching songs I apply to the old man Yaoi of my choice. Stay in your lane.
