i love how in Coming out of the dark, they had Frankie sing the ‘i see the monsters, they look like family’ line because frankenstein is about how he wants a family, it’s so obvious but also genius
I won’t dwell—and this is for me not he who’s lost to all my solemn musings—but I do, on this day too far too soon, acknowledge the enormity of the switch.

Please stay gorgeous and strong and unbelievable. I miss you I miss you I miss you I love you. I’m calling you as soon as I send this, but I know you like to have these things written down.

“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. ‘Time’ for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”
-Roman Payne, The Wanderess-
There are really only two songs that do it for me when I’ve had a week like the one just gone. And I have promised to stop being so angry because it isn’t who I am—and I know, I know it’s been bad and the menfolk have been all “we need to protect you” and I've been like a rose with just the thorns, or a hand grenade, depending on the degree of my resistance.
But I can’t do that forever, and yesterday I birthed something that I hope will be quite special—and that is what matters. As do the songs referenced here, here and here—and love as I settle back into myself. In terms of the posts to come, I think it’s a case of we shall see. Though to be sure, retreat is not my nature.
