Today's prompt is supposed to be Steal Smoked Fish, but I've already done a piece for that song and didn't want to do another one, so instead I've opted for its b-side, In the Shadow of the Western Hills!

hey mountain goats tumblr!

i'll be going to 3 mountain goats shows this tour (8/2 in millersville pa, 8/3 in philadelphia pa, and 8/4 in vienna va) and i will be handing out patches!!! these ones (in many varying colors each) will be available, plus two new designs that i haven't gotten the chance to print yet.

look for me if you're interested in one! i'll have a black denim patch jacket and (hopefully by then) a buzzcut. super excited to hang out and hand out patches!

trying to send out the opposite of what i'm feeling inside right now.

i hope you guys are doing okay. i hope you're safe. i hope we can survive this. i hope i can survive this. i hope we can find things to prevent us from becoming statistics. i hope we can hold onto trans joy with everything we've got. i hope my life doesn't have to end before i get to inhabit my own body without this ever-present knot of dread and self-loathing and hopeless dysphoria in my gut. i hope i don't lose the little shreds of hope i still cling to. i hope there is still something to live for and to get me out of bed tomorrow morning and every morning after.

i spend every day thinking of the last lyrics of hebrews 11:40, my favorite song these days, which i have posted endless times on this account. it feels like a fantasy now, but it's all i've got.

" take to the hills, run away

i'm going to get my perfect body back someday

if not by faith, then by the sword

i'm going to be restored "

"get lonely" by the mountain goats

"and i will get lonely/ and gasp for air/ and send your name off from my lips/ like a signal flare"

(put a "∞" in my ask box and I'll shuffle my music player and give you my favorite lyric from the song that comes up)

Oh yeah it's been a year. This is fine.

Pleased to see Mr. Catalyst on the top artists - if bandcamp factored in he would have more time but probably not enough to unseat the goats, tbh.

And I immediately latched onto The Future is a Foreign Land and started learning to play it while listening to it on repeat, which accounts for probably 75% of those plays.

Kinda surprised to see Mary on a Cross there and so high because I wouldn't put it in my top 10 songs, but I do like the continuity between the two songs so I played them a lot side by side on my main Ghost playlist.

Cross-posted with permission; Ghosttart on instagram/reddit is running this year's tMG Inktober! Image description in alt text. The original caption (with links condensed at the end) is as follows:

Tmginktober is coming back for its seventh (!) year and kicks off on October 31st. With the recent rerelease of the EPs, Moon Colony Bloodbath, and the recent departure of Peter Hughes, we're taking it back to the beginning to focus on EPs, Singles, B-Sides, some unreleased songs, and a tribute to the man himself.

Inktober is a 31 day art challenge with a different prompt for each day. Sketch, draw, paint, stitch, letter, sculpt, craft, bake, write, or create something for each prompt and post it to social media with the tags #tmg inktober, #tmg inktober 2024, #the mountain goats

Commit to the whole 31 day challenge, or just a few days that inspire you. Post it to social media, or just share with your friends. Post it to your fridge! Draw it on the sidewalk! Miss a day? Hop right back in on the next one. Make this challenge work for you. It's all about having fun and being creative.

If today's prompt isn't your jam, take a bonus Artist's Choice day!

Not to be overdramatic or what have you, but I did indeed make it through this year if it kills me

[therevengeoffrankenstein]

'"the kind of boy" / performative, active, -ism'

wave of your hand.

white flags out of tissues,

stacking tackling issues:

band to disband,

hand in — wave hand.

love dies, doves cry.

leave in the mourning,

weave in the yearning....

from the hazel to the navel.

wave the white fags,

leave in the mourning....

punch out my nightlight,

color my face limelight,

beast with two backs, feed upon me—

i turn and you're back....

from the carpet to the drapes.

your name is [BLEEP].

micro-phone it in but i won't care.

'you think you know me.'

sunny, funny — basic.

you can but you choose not to. i don't care.

wish me sweet screams, ice cream, hot/cold....

make me wanna belt for the first time ever!

fuck my mouth like you

love me or whatever.

i really hate how you render me,

but at least you do it for me at all.
