You thought this was a TLT/Mountain Goats crossover account but behold the Unholy Trinity of TLT/Mountain Goats/Taylor Swift.

People don't think towns like ours can turn into battlegrounds but we had a war here. There. I don't live there anymore either. I left when Jenny left. It's just a spot on the map now.

"nobody's ever gonna pour plaster in my tracks" is an INSANE first line for a song ABOUT her tracks. i have it stuck in my head right now. the plaster's there. i basically own a signed mold of her motorcycle tracks in the mud outside Omaha. Words of a woman who never really understood how anyone could miss her.

JENNY USED TO LET ABSOLUTELY ANYBODY CRASH AT HER PLACE. IT WAS LIKE A YEAR-ROUND CHRISTMAS MIRACLE. IF YOU HAD ANY SECRETS, SHE DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW, AND THE ONES SHE HAD SHE KEPT TO HERSELF. THERE WAS A WALL HEATER DOWN AT ONE END OF THE HALLWAY AND A BIG, DARK LIVING ROOM AT THE OTHER. ONE ELECTRIC LAMP BY THE COUCH IF YOU NEEDED IT, ALL EXITS VISIBLE TO THE EYE FROM THERE. SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD NEED OF JENNY'S PLACE WERE ALL RIGHT AND SOME WEREN'T EVER GOING TO GET RIGHT, AND SHE'D ALREADY GOTTEN SEVERAL LETTERS FROM THE CITY ADVISING HER TO KEEP A LOWER PROFILE UNLESS SHE WANTED TROUBLE BUT THEN I ENTERED THE PICTURE. BAD LUCK. LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE WHO CAME THROUGH I WAS TRYING TO FIND A BETTER DIRECTION BUT IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THAT WAY. PRYING EYES SHOULD HAVE TENDED TO THEIR OWN BUSINESS. PEOPLE DON'T THINK TOWNS LIKE OURS CAN TURN INTO BATTLEGROUNDS BUT WE HAD A WAR HERE. THERE. I DON'T LIVE THERE ANY MORE EITHER. I LEFT WHEN JENNY LEFT. IT'S JUST A SPOT ON THE MAP NOW. WE RODE TOGETHER FOR A WHILE BUT THEN WE LOST EACH OTHER. SOMETIMES I THINK I HEAR FROM HER BUT OTHER TIMES I THINK I'M JUST DREAMING. NOBODY KNOWS WHERE ANYBODY LANDED. YOU DON'T KEEP IN TOUCH WHEN THE WAR DOESN'T GO YOUR WAY.
I am so normal about the new upcoming Mountain Goats album.

On all levels except physical I am in the car with my head in my hands at the far end of a Walmart parking lot trying not to buckle under the strain

Jenny has always felt to me like a song of sapphic love and freedom, so Wake and Pyrrha are the obvious choice (And Wake is the character most likely to have owned a motorcycle at some point). Hi Diddle Dee Dee: Goddamn! A pirate's life for me! Artist credit: @kiaraalazulu

the fact that jenny lies about what her tattoo says, when in reality it’s a line from a greek tragedy about truly belonging to a place, but she says it means “all of this will disappear in the twinkling of an eye.” Just. the foreshadowing. the way the tattoo is an aspiration of family and belonging but what jenny says it means becomes a warning about how easily jenny loses her found family
