i know i talk a lot about moses sumney but i really admire his work. the way he performs inhabiting a body (photoshoots, social media, music videos, etc) IS a performance art and puts his lyrical work thru the body idk im not making much sense rn bc im so sleepy what im trying to say is that poetically his work flows so well on its own but is magnified by how he uses his body in those music videos and stuff. there are two instruments (words/brain & body) and he used them in tandem in ways i deeply respect and want to emulate in ways unique to me

#the body as an art piece makes me hate mine less idk #this post is insane bye #sumney #fairy chatter

What are some of your favorite aro-/ace-coded fob lyrics?

oh fuck yes a little bowl of seeds just for me

boycott love from disloyal order of water buffaloes is a personal favorite of mine. its a lyric i really really want tattooed at some point. that's not the only lyric i latch onto from an aro perspective but it's probably the biggest one

basically the entirety of it's hard to say "i do" when i don't but a special mention goes to you are appealing to emotions that i simply do not have as well as the only ring i want buried with me are the ones around my eyes

it's true romance is dead / i shot it in the chest and in the head from the music or the misery is also a favorite of mine, also just that whole song in general

i thought i loved you but it was just how you looked in the light in hum hallelujah resonates with a lot of queer folks i've found, and it's no different for me

same goes for it's a strange way of saying that i know i'm supposed to love you from g.i.n.a.s.f.s.

i'm outside the door, invite me in / so we can go back and play pretend from alone together brings me back to when i was trying to perform heteronormativity/amatonormativity even if it was making me miserable

i also hold to a very similar vibe with she said "i love you 'till i don't" / i am just playing house, no idea what i'm doing now from sunshine riptide and also most of burna boy's verse, frankly. i fell in love but i didn't fall down and feel like i'm bulletproof, baby in particular

american beauty/american psycho, particularly the first verse. i think i fell in love again / maybe i just took too much cough medicine

golden is a big one for queer folks in general i've found. the chorus especially hits hard from an aro and/or ace reading. and i saw god cry in the reflection of my enemies / and all the lovers with no time for me

i've got a dark alley and a bad idea that says you should shut your mouth is a heavy song no matter how you slice it. but that chorus gets to me in particular: we can fake it for the airwaves / force our smiles, baby, half-dead / from comparing myself to everyone else around me

the kids aren't alright reads to me as one big anthem for platonic love above anything romantic, which resonates super hard with me. the second verse has a lot of good lines that i latch onto from an aroace lens too. your love is anemic and i can't believe / that you couldn't see it coming from me

pretty much the whole chorus of HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON'T does it for me, and those verses have got some good aroallo vibes too! i never really feel a thing... confidants but never friends...

the whole of fake out is a gimme. that chorus rings real true. starts with love is in the air, i just gotta find a window to break out and finishing with but it was all a fake-out

i've got all this ringing in my ears and none on my fingers is one that has another highly applicable title but the whole refrain of the truth hurts worse / than anything i could bring myself to do to you paired with the one-two punch of that second verse REALLY gets under my skin

and of course, the culminating one: you are what you love, not who loves you from save rock and roll. obviously there are a LOT of ways to read that line

there are a couple other songs i latch onto - wilson (expensive mistakes); a little less "sixteen candles", a little more "touch me"; the (after) life of the party to name a few - but the ones listed above are the big lyrics that resonate with me on a personal level

just in general i have a shitton of fob over on my aro playlist (which doubles as a general aroace/queer playlist but has a lot of emphasis on aromanticism) in case i forgot to mention anything but like i said those are the big ones

#askin hours #anon #happy aro awareness week lol ive had this in my drafts for mONTHS and forgot about it #sorry it took so long to answer i have a million asks in my inbox and just do not have time most days #go listen to aromanticism by moses sumney for black history month and aro awareness week btw #now THAT there is an album that rewrote my neural chemistry

childlike curiosity about my fate is the only thing that makes me stay

so i've just watched first episode of the idol and where is that torture porn everyone was talking about??? like y'all have worked so hard to promote it as exploitation but it's so fucking tame compared to how people are talking about it it's ridiculous. like the disparity.... it's just a fun sexy show. and it seems sex positive on top of that (such a sin!). you need to be the the most exalted virgin or sex-under-the-covers-with-lights-off kind of person to be so freaked by it.

like what is this about. no one is that obsessed with george rr martin and wondering why is he writing 13 year old getting raped in graphic detail and then falling in love with her rapist etc. no one does that with others artists and authors to that degree (they can somehow separate fiction from reality and art from the artist), it's just sam levinson. like is it because he's been very open about his mental health issues (i mean euphoria is about that) and being institutionalized since childhood because the way people jumped on the "he's really weird" "something's off about him" "he's a freak" bandwagon when euphoria s2 blew up was very quick. like it seems to me an obvious conclusion that ableism and people just being weirded out by the mentally ill (particularly when it's mentally ill men because they're seen as dangerous) plays a part in this.

who up thinking about moses sumney doomed. "am i vital if my heart is idle? am i doomed?" "if lovelessness is godlessness, will you cast me to the wayside?" moses sumney 2017 album aromanticism save me... moses sumney 2017 album aromanticism... save me moses sumney 2017 album aromanticism...

#talking #moses sumney #i am forever and always shaking people by the shoulders telling them about this album. So important actually #like i could talk about the actual music for a long time it's super interesting and a gorgeous departure from usual musical conventions #and the singer. gorgeous voice. moses sumney sounds absolutely beautiful #but the very fact of an album made about aromantic experience... #many things to think about! many things! #the lyrics of doomed are the most immediately striking and easy to identify and connect with #but i think about like. plastic. 'all my old lovers have found others i was caught in the rapture' #'i don't bother nobody/nobody bothers my body after' #and. fuck. god. whatever the song title is with the lyrics about just wanting to have sex in a car. #make out in my car. is what it's called. great job on that one bracken 😭 #anyway that one is wonderful. aroallos i love you so fucking much #aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #aroace #aspec
