The things we lost in the fire

[o-wild-west-wind]

thinking about this post on how Ed’s impossible bird alludes to the albatross and now all I can think about is how these past 3 episodes feel like a play on the Rime of the Ancient Mariner…he’s crashing weddings to make sure everyone knows that he’s the mariner who shot the albatross, who cursed his luck and life; but what’s interesting is he also seems to be his own albatross. it’s his own weight hanging around his neck. and the act curses his crew—he kills the part of himself that guides sailors safely—and they are now forced to turn on him, their souls sucked away by his curse. and he’s ready to reconcile the guilt of it all via his own death, he wants to do so, but he just cannot seem to die:

“Alone, alone, all, all alone, / Alone on a wide wide sea! / And never a saint took pity on / My soul in agony.

The many men, so beautiful! / And they all dead did lie: / And a thousand thousand slimy things / Lived on; and so did I.”

but then finally, in the darkest night of the greatest carnage, he’s suddenly reminded that he’s not alone like he thought—there’s life in the sea, and it’s beautiful and fiery-warm. and it’s the moment he feels love again that the albatross finally frees itself from his neck and falls into the water. it’s the feeling of love that breaks the curse.

…is this something? can’t tell if this is a thing or if i’m charlie day meme-ing myself this show has broken me

the icarus who chose her own sun

the icarus who wrapped themself in the void

the icarus who killed the false sun

the icarus who the stars gave up their life for

the icarus who crash landed onto the earth's surface

the icarus who finally saw her sun; only to see a moon

My Spotify Wrapped 2024

(My top genre was, of course, 'fanfic writer'.)

[creepyscritches]

There was something kinda freeing abt being in the hipster-type bucket in 2011 bc no one asked what genres your favorite artists were (also...you didn't have any good answers lol.... 'bog water?' 'tired grass??' 'country as well'). Spotify flooded the ecosystem w sub-genres and it was better when I couldn't put my finger on a sound. Anyway. If spotify is going to tell me a band is stomp and holler mountain music, it better be.

[thestarmaker]

It's a shame owl city hasn't put out anything new in like ten years. But ending on the ultraviolet ep means he at least went out on a good note. Too bad nothing came of that ep

[reallifepotato]

the difference between fob "we're out here and we're ready to livestream the apocalypse" vs bastile "livestreaming the final days of rome" is that bastille said it BEFORE the world fell apart completely, because they have some form of prophecy.

[thatone-highlighter]

I love being pretentious about media actually. Not in a „oh you like nirvana? Name 5 of their songs“ type way but as in the curtains are blue to signify the character‘s sadness way
