The injury of finally knowing you.

What the fuck, Hozier. You can’t just do that. The injury of finally knowing you. What the fuck. I am ruined now.

[mochinomnoms]

rook and jade would find the lyrics of ‘in a week’ so romantic, like ‘let’s rot together and let our bodies return to the earth babe!’

YOURE SO RIGHT YOURE SO RIGHT YOURE SO RIGHT

To love someone so much that you'd rot into the ground with them, knowing that your last moments with them will be spent in their embrace as you pass and your body becomes one with the earth. It's fine, because as long as you're with them, their heart is happy and full They hope that when your bodies are found in the far future, nothing remaining but your bones preserved by the earth enclosing you two and fossilizing your embrace, that the world will know that they were home.

i love when i’m drawing thorin and then take a step back to look at it and realize oh fuck i’ve just drawn hozier

Been thinking a lot about Northern Attitude by Noah Kahan (the hozier version) specifically the line.

“If I get to close

And I’m not how you hoped

Forgive my Northern Attitude

Oh I was raised out in the cold”

And it’s a simple line but it’s sung with so much apology that it immediately stood out to me, combined with having heard Hozier explain the thought behind To Someone from a Warmer Climate, how it’s about the way that the phyical climate of the places we grow up affect the way we showcase and experience love, it proceeded to consume my every waking moment

Cause, interestingly, these two pieces are clashing. As To Someone from a Warmer Climate focuses more on how the cold allows you to hold each other close for warmth and how that builds a relationship but that makes it that when you finally experience the heat you’re uncomfortable in it, you don’t know what to do with it. What is our relationship if we don’t need to keep each other warm?

While Northern Attitude is about how growing up cold has by extension made him cold, personality wise. Like I don’t know how to properly showcase affection because that’s not something you learn when you are just trying to survive the cold. You don’t get to explore the depth of what you mean to each other when the cold is the most pressing enemy and you’ll take any body as long as it’s got heat, doesn’t matter who it’s attached too as long as it can make the house a little warmer.

But both songs are essentially saying the same thing;

I was raised on little light, all my life has taken place in the dark. I don’t know how to love you in the warmth of daylight.

And As someone who grow up on the equator it really got me thinking about how growing up in extreme heat affects the way I showcase my love and how that manifests differently from someone that grew up in the cold.

Cause I don’t like to sleep to close to people because I can feel the heat radiating of them and that’s uncomfortable. I don’t like to sleep in long pants or sweaters because I can feel the warmth seeping into my skin. I don’t like to walk out in the sun cause the heat frustrates me. And now that I have winters I still run the air conditioning all the time because I’m scared of all the memories attached to the heat.

All this to say that as always all roads lead back to Mishanks because whether Mihawk grew up on a cold winter island as his personality suggests or on a burning hot Spanish inspired sun. He has only ever known extreme ways to love.

As compared to someone like Shanks who grew up on the ever changing ocean. Whose never stayed anywhere long enough to be wary of the cold or untrusting of the heat. Who’s never known anything but loving freely untempered by weather. He’s always just been everything.

de selby (part 2) is so figueroth faeth coded

allow me to draw your attention to

aka athenriel's curse

aka "i want to socially disappear"

aka ANKARNA DO I EVEN HAVE TO EXPLAIN

I also think the whole thing with how this song functions in the album as the descent into hell, it totally makes sense with fig being the one to fully accept ankarna and safeguard her infernal domain. not only bc of the hellish connotations but the idea of a descent, of jumping in headfirst and trusting.

omg I was JUST thinking of your fic last night and was gonna dig through my bookmarks to find it😭😭 so glad you popped up. just when I thought your fic couldn’t get sweeter I see the sneak peek! tattoos that lineup 😭

tattoos! that! line! up! sorry i’m going to use this ask just to ramble about this tattoo because you’ll never get the backstory in the normal fic:

max gets the tattoo in 2022, just before he wins the 2nd championship. daniel obviously notices the bandages and max just tells him one of the cats scratched him so doesn’t grow suspicious.

daniel finds out after COTA, in the hotel room after the race. he’s feeling quite shit actually, max has just won his second championship and he doesn’t even get to watch it, stuck in a garage a hundred metres down where he knows some people have been counting down the days till he’s gone.

he’s being awful to himself—he knows this, max knows this—but they both know that he can’t help it. anyways, they both argue a bit and daniel doesn’t have the heart to have this conversation again. they’ve had it three times in the last four months, he’ll say he’s not good enough and max will find a way to make it sound like he’s not struggling to score points in every race.

“would you still love me even if i retired?” he asks. it’s a cruel thing to ask max, and he knows the answer, but he still needs to ask.

(max says the right things, but he always says the right things.)

daniel notices the tattoo when he slides his right hand under max’s back to hold his waist, something he’s done a thousand times over. when he was younger, he hated the night, the restlessness between falling asleep and waking up, wasting precious hours to do whatever idea he thought was cool at the time. now, he loves the night. loves the routine they do, loves how still the world goes when the moon shines down from the sky. loves how he gets to hold max like they’ve got all the time in the world.

the bandage is gone and max notices daniel picking up on, so he pulls the cover down to reveal the small 3 tattoo he’s got, tilted on its side, matching the 3 daniel has.

and it’s maybe one of few times daniel’s been rendered speechless, because what do you even say to that? i love you isn’t enough, because it’s more than that. for as long as he’s known max, tattoos has never been an option for him. he keeps staring at it until he realises that max looks nervous, like daniel will tell him he’s gone too far so snaps out of this max induced love haze to kiss him.

max has just won his second championship, daniel watched it a hundred metres down in a garage filled with people that don’t want him, but none of that matters now. he’s holding max and max loves him and whilst it doesn’t solve all his problems, it’s enough for right now. and that’s all that matters.

truly i need people to ask me the most obscure or random questions they have about glitter on the floor because my brain is a 2gb usb stick and they’ve taken up 1.95gb. thank you anon and i hope you like the fic x
