HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GHOSTS I-IV !!!!!!! 🎊🥳

Happy 17th birthday to the first instrumental album by NIN!! I feel like a lot of people think anything by NIN that came after With Teeth is a failure. But I have never heard anyone talk shit about any of the other albums more than i have this one or just the Ghosts album's in general. The most I've heard of people talking shit about this album has been, " the track list is too long, nobody's gonna know the goddamn names of these songs, this album makes me uneasy, this isn't even anything peaceful " Mf, you're missing the point. The point of these albums isn't just yk--something peaceful that you can sleep too. The point is that it's music. It's art. Whether it makes you feel peaceful or not.

I get it. Instrumental albums aren't always everyone's thing. But the least you can do is appreciate it for what it is. Instrumental music is just the same as music with words in it. In fact, the best thing about instrumental music is that it doesn't have words. It tells its own story through instruments.

I've heard people say this is where Trent fell off as an artist. But no, honey. He's still up on that mountain, and he ain't coming down. In fact, I think this kind of music is just what he was born to do. Whether you enjoy it or not, he has a natural born talent for creating this kind of music. And what he gives us in the process is truly... beautiful.

I did miss the birthday for the other ghosts albums, so I want to briefly touch on that because I didn't get to talk about it.

Ghosts: together is possibly the most beautiful thing Trent has ever released. The first time I heard this album, I cried. I cried a lot. And that was because, to me, the album represents grief. I lost my mother about a year and a half ago, and listening to that album and knowing the song titles tore me apart. Locusts and I-IV didn't cut as deep as Together did for me, but nonetheless, they're still great albums. Off topic but I sleep to the Together album....most nights... because it's so peaceful.

Trent's instrumental work means a lot to me. All of his work means a lot to me. But if you're one of those people who have only seen the track list to Ghosts I-IV and tell yourself that you're not going to listen to it because you " don't like instrumental music " like mama once said, don't knock it till you try it. you might be missing out on something great.

An original UK pressing of a very influential album for myself. I got to see NIN live at Lollapolooza in 2008 when this record came out and to this day it’s still in my top 5 favorite live show experiences. I got this vinyl around 2015/16 and I cannot remember for the life of me where or how I got it. If I ever figure it out I’ll be sure to add an update!

Update: after some digital forensic work I was able to figure out that I got this record in 2016 from Amazon! And for only $38!

Check out my vinyl Instagram page!

Assorted photos from Nine Inch Nail’s Ghosts I-IV. Listened to the album in full a week or two ago and it might just be my favorite project to come from Trent’s hands, both in terms of visuals and music.

older bf simon the type to ask, “how do you want me, love?” when you two finally fuck :’(

he’s so careful and gentle, leashing his own desires because there is a certain satisfaction in having you tip into your orgasm first before he reaches his own. it’s so dizzying, having you order him around and him giving you what you asked but twice the intensity, twice the pleasure. he has you crying in his arms, your words warbled with your gasps, and he holds you throughout because—“like this, sweetheart? is this what you wanted?”

you sob your yesses and your i love yous and your i need mores, and simon gives and gives because god you’re just too precious

early access + nsfw on patreon

more backstory that i wrote up for patreon heh:

Simon and Tommy had a complicated relationship as brothers. 

At a young age, Simon basically wrote himself off as a lost cause, and did the best he could to make sure at least Tommy had a chance to be a functioning human being. After all, Tommy was the gentler brother, the dreamer, the one who looked like their mother (who'd walked out on them years ago to escape their father). But Tommy got bitter, got sick of the one always being protected, being babied. He lost respect for Simon, for the way he wouldn't fight back, and in a twisted way, grew closer to his father as a way to learn how to be powerful, strong. It backfired, and Tommy got wrapped up in some bad business.

Simon's kid brother died while he was deployed. He got the news in the letter, and it broke him in a big way. In the story timeline, it was years and years ago but it still hurts like hell whenever Simon thinks about him. 

#cw: child abuse #i decided to do my own take on simon's backstory for this au #it has the same broad strokes as his canon one but at this point #i feel like ive earned the right to tweak canon #at least in this au hehe #baby simon <3 <3 <3 #he tried his best #the hc is that simon is the son who looks like his dad #and tommy was the son who looks like his mum #so theres more angst when u consider the way he probably thinks of it as the wrong son persisting #simon ghost riley #tommy riley #cod mw2 #monster 141 au #giragi art

Clark is taking Kon and Jon out for a classic, super-style bonding flight. Just a quick jaunt around the US and back!

They don’t get far. Somewhere in Illinois airpace, they run across another family.

The three (a hulking man, a snarky teenage boy, and a cackling youngest girl, each a grayscale blur in the blue, blue sky) throw neon-lit beams of energy at one another, quips and insults flying almost as fast as they do. It looks like training. It looks like fun!

The boy of them looks like a younger version of the man. Exactly like, even. Clark is familiar with clones.

The youngest, a girl, looks like both of them, but not quite. Perhaps she will, age sharpening her childish features, but it’s hard to say. More likely, she’s the man’s daughter.

Interested, Clark introduces himself to Dan. He seems to be a hero in his own right, even if Superman’s yet to see him in action. And it’s not often Clark sees a family so like his own!

#post agit but with the hc that dans ghost form stays the same! big and scary! #clark: oh! you’re a clone? here meet kon he’s also a clone! #clark: [pushes kon toward danny] teen boy clones! you should exchange instasnaps or smth. or facebooks! kids still use that to chat right? #danielle: is this identity theft. and if so. can i steal dans ID i wanna be the evil version from an alternate timeline now #dp x dc #dpxdc #prompt #dpxdc prompt #kipwrite #less of a ficlet more of an interesting observation and funny potential misunderstanding. which actually still counts now that i think of it #whatever sorry ive been busy!! #danny fenton #dark danny #danielle fenton #clark kent #kon el #jon kent #realizing now i hardly ever spell his name connor. hm
