#clam crab cockle cowrie

[whiteshipnightjar]

I’ve been thinking about how tactile Joanna’s lyrics are. There’s so much expression of love through touch. Holding and touching and pawing. Hands, hands, hands. I find the physicality of her words infinitely stirring and beautiful. There’s so much tenderness in the way you hold something or someone. There’s strength and vulnerability in your hands too. A more rough or possessive touch can cause pain instead of care. But Joanna’s touch is grounding and earthy and warm.

#war of the lions #final fantasy #my edits #fft blogging #tactics blogging #jnew blogging #long post #WHEW. i've been fiddling with this for like over a month and this is as good as it's gonna get #do u have any idea how hard it was to not include the entire 'my heart is a furnace' speech from m&b. #i'm sad i didn't get to include some of my other O/D favorites (like easy or waltz of the 101st lightborne) #but i couldn't find good staging for either of the scenes i would've included them in so. alas #also some of these songs are like 'just the lyric from this song fits' #but some of them are 'this entire song fits just let me talk about it' #also while delita is in more of the images more of the songs are from ovelia perspective #also like jesus christ do you have any idea how hard it was narrowing down which bit from only skin i picked??? #i was originally just gonna do an entire o/d edit to only skin but that seemed unfair to m&b and s&d LMAO #ff #fft #final fantasy tactics

📚 for the meme

A song or album you could write a term paper on

Already answered here, in a very heavy way. I think I probably have a paper in me about the Joanna Newsom song "Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie", about the bruised loneliness and the juxtaposition of the speaker's poetic imaginings and more mundane moments, how the elements all feed into each other. I don't think I'd get an A on it, but probably a passing grade.

Last show: the Sandman (it was really good!)

When I created this blog: like several several years ago with the username ‘theregoestheneighbourhood’ but eventually changed it to dyed-red to match my ao3 pseud. but i only started using this blog actively in like early 2020 and at the time refused to tag anything or interact with folks haha (sorry i’m a curmudgeon)

What I post: a lot of wincest, weirdcest, and some gencest, but especially content about sam and dean. stuff i think is interesting about characterization especially

Last thing I googled: John Cena’s filmography (i was trying to remember the name of the show Peacemaker)

Other blogs: @/phynali is my main, @/coldtomyflash is the side for my former massive hyperfixation, coldflash

Do I get asks: sometimes? i really love getting asks though so please send them. i do have one unanswered one in my inbox from a million years ago about the episode ‘ask jeeves’ that i haven’t rewatched and can’t reply to properly (yet) but i TRY to answer the ones i get

Following: i’m at 144 which is way too high. for the first 8 years i spent on this site i kept it under 100 except for little blips. since joining the SPN fandom it’s it’s 1.5x what it was before and i keep itching to cull it but also don’t want to

Dream trip: through southeast asia

Nationality: canadian but i don’t live in canadia-land any longer

Favorite songs: we’ve been over how bad i am at this favourites thing right? right. okay go listen to Clam Crab Cockle Cowrie by Joanna Newsom

Last book I read: A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik, because i decided i should probably read astolat’s original works and holy hell did i enjoy this book, can’t wait for the third in the series (holding off on reading the second so i can read all 3 when the last one is out)

3 fiction universes I’d live in: steven universe, dctv-verse (the flash, etc), uhhh... star wars?

tagging: okay 20 people is way too many and idk who all has done this and who’s currently active, but let’s see how many i can think of... @fandom-hoarder, @brotherwives, @trials-era-sam, @catboyjohnwinchester, @theangiediary, @redmyeyes, @hi-im-dazey, @peach-coke, @jaytwo, @ruinedsam, @themegalosaurus, @youchoseeachother, @brother-in-a-g-string @prince-of-elsinore

(no pressure if this isn’t your thing, and/or if you’re the type of person who likes being tagged in stuff like this don’t hesitate to drop a note here and i’ll try to remember you for next time)

[joansdidion]

can you recommend some Joanna Newsom songs for someone who'd like to get into her music (pretty please)? i hope you had a very merry & bright Christmas!

definitely! listen to clam, crab, cockle, cowrie, this side of the blue, and peach plum pear from milk eyed mender. then listen to jackrabbits and on a good day from have one on me. then listen to leaving the city and the things i say from divers. then once you’re invested go back and listen to all her albums in order. (i purposely left out ys from the initial listening because it’s the most hardcore of her albums IMO but if you want to include it listen to only skin)
