“You lie too, and you believe yourself.”

Felt like drawing some rendered art of PV and SM, so why not go with something silly!? Heheh, enjoy.

I think I should be allowed to cook more. Unless I burn down the kitchen, then probably not.

#cookie run kingdom #they are so silly #shadow milk cookie #art #fully rendered #I love shadow milk a lot #PV is here too I guess #can you tell who I like more? [it’s quite obvious] #angst art #lore art #those always pair well #pure vanilla cookie

Obikin body swap idea: getting to see how the other half lives. Anakin just being super flustered by the idea that when he touches himself he's touching his master even for innocent things like running his fingers through his hair or getting to touch his beard.

Meanwhile Obi-Wan is trying to cope with how overstimulating Anakin's connection to the force is and even the best shields only dampen it slightly. Inner peace? He doesn't know her.

ooo i feel like when we talk about obikin body swap, this is always what we go with (overwhelmed by his master's body! anakin and overwhelmed by how anakin experiences the force! obi-wan), and it's good it's great i think these are great interpretations of the characters and i can see why it's such a popular take on obikin body swap

so what if that but also:

anakin overwhelmed by how little time obi-wan actually has to himself and how busy he is and him realizing that it's not that obi-wan purposefully doesn't spend as much time with him as he wants it's that obi-wan's body walks down a corridor and two younglings want him to give them a sparring demonstration, four Council meetings are scheduled, and one archives padawan is coming incessantly wanting to ask if he's ready for book club this week because she has thoughts on the last chapter

+

obi-wan unused to how strong he feels, how easy the Force suddenly is to manipulate; sure it's loud and i have a soft spot for that sort of headcanon about how anakin experiences the force, but i think we can't forget it wouldn't just just be overstimulating for anakin: it makes him powerful as fuck. obi-wan feels tired and the mechno arm hurts and it's straining his shoulder so he decides to use the force to call his datapaad over from its charging spot, but it zooms over so fast it shatters on impact with the wall

+

anakin overwhelmed by the new and unfamiliar aches and pains of obi-wan's body, the way he hurts when he wakes up, the way long space travel makes him feel sick and stiff

+

obi-wan realizing how persistent the chancellor is when it comes to comming and meeting anakin for lunch--oh lunch won't work what about tea oh tea won't work what about opera----

+

anakin trying spicy food for the first time in obi-wan's body and he's.... actually fine???? cue realizing that obi-wan was just pretending when he was younger to not like spicy food the bastard. (upon confrontation, obi-wan says, 'well it just seemed to mean so much to you on a personal level that i wouldn't be able to handle the heat of tatooinian food, i didn't want to disappoint you but you should really try stewjoni cuisine')

+

obi-wan realizing quite quickly that uh. anakin was not ever faking his very low alcohol tolerance

#asks #obikin #do not get me wrong i like a) the switched body trope #and b) the 'anakin is confronted with having everything he has always coveted and yet must resist' trope #paired with c) the 'anakin's connection with the force is deafening and loud and no one else could handle it' #trope well enough #especially when im in the particular mood for b or c (c is rarer for me but i have a soft spot for it) #but i feel like there are so many tropes to pull in for body swap #so many things that would overwhelm each other just about their daily lives #and before someone says something about obi-wan not being able to handle spice or scottish food isnt spicy #those are headcanons that i switch around whenever i want based on my mood i am a river i am a stream etc stewjon can be whatever i want #idk maybe ive just seen asks answered by other blogs with these specific tropes or im combining them in my head or smthng #cant really trust my brain most of the time

I got these shoes from someone recently but thought they were way too plain looking, so I set out on a quest to customize them with some sharpies and charms and miscellaneous ribbon I had in my craft drawers. Mostly sky themed (clouds, rainbows, rain, stars, etc.) because that's my favorite aesthetic, but I had to include some cat imagery as well, of course lol.

#also honestly had NO IDEA that real converse have that star logo on the INSIDE not the outer part??? why the hell would you want it on the #inner portion where nobody can see it?? my entire life I always would have sworn it was on the outer facing portion.. #I think these would be perfect IF they were just slightly taller (top part higher above ankles instead of just weird hard material digging #right into your ankle whenever you walk) and if they were actual good platforms. they're so short. It's good that 'chunky' shoes are gettin #more popular as they've always been my favorite Look ever since I had these shoes with roller skates that pop out of thebottom (not heelys. #but like. before those. it was two whole entire roller skate wheels like a normal pair of roller skates) and the bottoms were so tall and #clunky and it made my feet look giant (because it had.. entire wheels in the bottom pockets lol). so #I've alwatys been into the aesthetic but . still I find a lot of the 'brands jumping on trend' are too short of platforms #OR they're plafrorms with a raised back/heel/wedge which to me is not aesthetically good and also makes them exceptionally uncomfortable to #wear compared to just plain completely flat chunky platform bottoms. ANYWAY.. if these shoes had a 3 or 4 inch platform I think they'd be #cooler. however for what they are it's still fine! and I like them more now that they actually have some sort of anything to them and #aren't just plain white. The weird thing is that the material it's made out of (maybe some sort of leather or something) absorbs sharpie? #the color changes over time. You draw a mark and then leave it for a few days and it either fades into being barely there or has changed #colors. so I had to go back in and redo parts. ALSO the shoe chains are so funny because I did NOT have the right tools for them #I don't have the stuff to make bracelets or open and close the little rings. they're held onto the shoe with just safety pins and the actua #little rung things that hold the charms on half of them are like broken or the metal is just jam smushed together bent and warped hhbjhjhb #I actually like the back a lot where there's the irridecent star thing hot glued on there. it's cool and shiny. and the clouds #are sparkly on the main parts of the shoe though I'm not sure how well it shows up in pictures #ANYWAY... shoegs..... If I were rich this is one of the things I would definitely custom order from craftsman #why would I spend like thousands of dollars on plain ass shoes that are just expensive because they're a Luxury Brand when I could literall #like pay people to create me custom shoes to my exact specifications?? I could have like 5 inch flat platform boots with fur andclouds #and cat shaped holes in the bottom with LEDs in them with pom pom and charms and etc. etc. etc. Like as gaudy and excessively over #decorated as I want lol.. AND they could have skates in the bottom somehow!! ghjgbhjb #this on top of all the custom wizard costumes and period clothing I would order.. Like i LOVE customizing things. I love everything in my l #life being as particualr as possible and cultivating every experience I have to meticulously meet my own specific criteria as much #as is possible. If I had the money to I would never buy something from a store again. EVERYTHING I owned from furniture to clothing #would be either made by me - or mostly - comissioned from craftsmen. custom tiles for my floors. custom bed. custom table. #even like. custom toilet. custom sinks. etc. etc. ouGGH... but yeah.. anyway... shoes..

didn't know laughingstock was a thing for the longest time but I have never been more quickly on board with a ship in my LIFE

...

(get it? on board? ship? im so funny)

yeeHAW welcome aboard the SS.Laughingstock, it's in a constant state of nearly sinking but not quite! there are no lifeboats!

#isnt it good? isnt it peak??? isnt it simply The Absolute Fucking Most??? #its one of those pairings where it doesnt occur to ya #until someone points it out and then its like oh. OH!!!! #godddddd theyre so good for each other #i think i once saw it referred to as a 'green flag ship' which... yeah!! #listen i love my unhealthy / disastrous fictional pairings but man. it feels good to enjoy something just so.... Good yk yk #like damn. what a healthy relationship. what a couple'a goofballs in love. waow #rambles from the bog #oh also i have to say the obligatory 'WE GOT ANOTHER ONE!!!' #my power grows.... #if you want more laughingstock #then uh krasytoonz posts a lot of em!! their stuff is like... my main outside source for the fluffy fruits #and theres uhhhhh #well fuck me i cant remember rn but! sometimes! something new appears in the ship tag(s)!!! #tis rare but! always enjoyable!

i baked an incredible triple layer mousse cake for my birthday yesterday and it's been so long since i made a proper, multi-hour finicky dessert and it genuinely made me so happy

honestly it's possible that i should have been a baker

#i like having to be so very very precise and careful and figuring out timing idk it's just so fun #like a puzzle and at the end you get something tasty #at some point i'll have to go back and try making a mirror glaze again. i needed higher quality food coloring and it was too sweet #like those white chocolate glazes are always gonna be a sugar bomb but i didn't pair the underlying cake flavors well #maybe something with like. punch to the mouth tart lemon or grapefruit...... mmmm #oh and i do need to make claire saffitz's preserved lemon cake at some point too. so much to do so little time #personal shit

[dollsome-does-tumblr]

in tribute to my current horrible ‘final seasons airing everywhere!’ tv situation--

i have ardently shipped nine million tv pairings in the past 20-ish years and here is my list of endings i actually felt were truly emotionally satisfying and fulfilling to me after years of suffering:

luke and lorelai

grace and frankie

louisa and spiros

jeff and annie

schmidt and cece

holt and kevin

sawyer and juliet (forever mad about the killing off of jules but i really appreciate that the finale went full feelios for them)

richard and kahlan (9 million years ago and never really a worry that it would go any other way, but so sweet!)

carson and mrs. hughes from downton abbey

ryan and kelly (lol)

i’m probably forgetting some but i’m sure not forgetting a lot. because i’m cursed!!!!! (or tv sucks?)

here are some of the pairings that have scarred me for life the most brutally:

jaime and brienne

eve and villanelle

barney and robin

guy and marian from bbc robin hood (in retrospect i should have seen it coming, but i was young and emotionally unhinged. it definitely ruined my winter break of ‘07 when he stabbed her to death.)

i’m forgetting the other ones right now due to my excellent memory repression skills.

#this doesn't include a lot of popular sitcom pairings that ended well (the jim and pams of the world etc.) #because i don't usually get attached to those in a ME way if that makes any sense #i respect and love said ships but they are not my otps #anyway i always just feel so cursed and bad at having otps ALAS!!!!!!! #is it bad that i have more faith in romangerri than tedbecca right now D: #dollsome's deep thoughts #shipping

I think the time has finally come for me to re-enter my clog era.

#woolly rambles #y'all remember a couple weeks ago on insta when everyone was posting pictures of themselves at 21? #i didn't participate but i did go back and look through photos of myself from that time #i sort of always forget that because i was working at a yarn store in my early twenties that i dressed like a middle aged norcal lady #like okay not exactly because i was also a broke college kid #but i tried alright #and oh my god the CLOGS #i had a pair of danskos that i purchased #they were the first shoes i ever bought as an adult that weren't from a thrift store and were actually well-made #genuinely wish i still had them but w/e #along with my danskos a couple of the ladies at work gifted me old pairs of their clogs that they no longer wore #at one point i had four different pairs of clogs that i wore literally all the time #and you know what? it fucking whipped #my feet were comfy as hell and i genuinely liked how they looked #plus #while everyone else's 2013-ass ballet flats were falling apart the second a foot got near them #my clogs were solid like a damn brick house #loved those things #anyways i'm returning to the wisdom of my youth #i'm getting a pair of clogs

Anyone else playing love and deep space cuz I gotta ask if you walked in with a favourite but as you progressed you either got a new fave or you still like the one you first picked but got hit in the face with a frying pan by another character for everything else

#I started off liking Zayne the most cuz I was like Oof a cool and guarded man with pretty eyes? sign me up for that shit #and I kept getting slapped with Rafayel all. the. time. and then after I obtained the ssr memory pair and read book 6 or 7 I switched #and now Xavier is getting me softer now and I’m here like wow the one I walked in with is 3rd 💀💀 #fourth if we count the childhood best friend that we saw for like 2 chapters #but before I got sweet on Rafayel I was so mad that his affection bad was at 57 while Zayne was at 49 like bruh was jumping me every time #it was worst with the card pullings cuz he’d ALWAYS appear like bruh let me get those other dudes too cuz they have pretty cards as well 😭😭

[crossbackpoke-check]

what are ur thoughts on the winners room trope?

ooooo okay surface level analysis: i like winner’s room fics :)

etwas tieferes: i think it’s cool that it’s (afaik) unique to hockey fandom and i enjoy the way it integrates a lot of unspoken rules in hockey with desire/makes them a physical/tangible reality… also the narrative potentials/world-building it opens up can be fun because there’s not really a set of rules for the “winner’s room” trope. are there in-universe rules? who gets chosen? who’s exempt? who gets to pick? where’s it going down? is it the entire room or one guy? what if your (ex)boyfriend is on another team? does somebody need to be taught a lesson or do you need to remind someone who got traded you still love them? also, most important, winner’s room gives you the chance to put two random-ass guys you saw interact for 0.002 seconds and went “hmmm. interesting” about into a Situation and i love that

#yeah buddy!! i love answering questions!!! unironically i have so many opinions!!!! #refraining from putting this in the main text but had to go: yeah who doesn’t love a good g*ngb*ng #it also doesn’t just have to be a bunch of dudes fucking though per always: i think winner’s room fics can bring up interesting dialogues #about the idea of bodily autonomy and self-sacrifice or sacrifice in sports #every fic can utilize a trope their own way so you might have lighter versions or heavier versions and #tw: sa #dub-con/CNC elements which. given the truth of SA and abuse in hockey it’s valuable to have tools to explore and i feel like i need to #address that when i talk about this? obvi dead dove do not eat for some fics re:winner’s room but i think a lot of them do talk about #control and power to some extent if you were to do a deep literary analysis. which we don’t need to. sometimes it’s enough to read a fic one #time because you liked the main pairing and didn’t know SHIT about the flyers and then come back to it years later and absolutely lose your #goddamn mind about the fact that actually you DID know about travis konecny before you thought you did and at one point there were all these #guys that you now know and love who were just like. random fuckers in the sides of the fic. i tend to do that a lot bc i will read for #nearly everything (if i love u. i will read your works even if i don’t know anything about the fandom and also i am always willing to jump #on new ships) so also tangentially i think winner’s room fics are a lot of fun because you can see a lot of different interactions between a #lot of guys like not only is it this guy and this guy but also this guy and that guy and these two interacting around the sacrifice etc etc #tangled web many layers und so weiter. not sure if any of that makes sense but also i’m gonna tag for mentions of sa/wjc/hockey canada stuff #i don’t even really know if winner’s room functions as well even in other sports bc of the Team Identity in hockey & cultural context #liv in the replies #winner’s room can be layered with SO many other kinks and tropes and aus and also just like. i like it & that’s probably all i needed to say #also obvi re: rules for trope there aren’t ever any there’s just some popular variations and we can kinda see some of those forming #but i’m not even sure if winner’s room has its own tag on the archive? i’d have to check i know i have a few saved in my bookmarks at least #OH also if you made it this far. wasn’t sure if this was like a ‘do u got recs’ or a ‘what’s your moral stance’ or ‘hey is this something ur #into’ so. good faith good vibes y’all and if this wasn’t what u meant please elaborate the question i do love answering things #ty for the ask!!!! #for the record i do watch hockey like the leonardo dicaprio pointing meme finding milliseconds of interaction to go HAHA GAY NARRATIVE about

I feel like too many people don't understand that a bad person having normal human traits does not suddenly make them a good person

#& every person who thinks that way is sooo susceptible to abuse #like that's not a joke or anything like for real if you keep treating people as 2 dimensional #then you fall into the trap of ''they did 1 nice thing for me so they must not actually be bad'' #you're allowed to like bad characters without scrambling to justify & write off their terrible actions & personality #like dude youre so desperate to not be caught liking something deviant youre using the same tactics as a H*rry P*tter fan #anyway i hope those people who like that asshole from ST never meet a Billy irl #cuz ive lived with Billys irl & it's not fucking fun. it's not interesting. it's living with an abusive piece of shit #just admit you think hes a good person because hes attractive. like youre fooling no one #if he didnt look like that youd call him a fucking freak. but he doesnt so hes just ''interesting to pick apart'' #i can give you insight into that kind of person's brain: they literally would abuse you. they don't care. they think you deserve it #they can do nice things all they want but the ''niceness'' never quite reaches the same level the ''meanness'' gets to #theyre always paired together. they bought you an ice cream that costs less than a dollar? you owe them money plus interest #the reality of the situation is that every time someone like me sees you guys doing that #fawning over some asshole abuser & calling them perfect & explaining away their behaviour? #it literally sets me back. it makes me so fucking mad because that happens in real life. it's why the abuse never gets stopped #no one believes you because ''well they were nice to ME & look nice so i dont believe you'' #i know how much you guys hate acknowledging apologism but like. that's abuse apologism right there

[waterberry-strawmelon]

i know a thousand other people have said this already, but im so tired of the fact that people just dont write good fanfiction about female characters or female relationships. all the 100k-word epics on ao3 are about m/m or m/f pairings, and i just mourn for all the life-changing stories we could have about female characters, the ones that fundamentally re-frame your way of thinking, the ones where the romance is slow burn that's hot and heavy and so, so achingly intimate that the page is bleeding with it.

where are those stories?

#and it's not just because there are more male characters in fictional media #it's mostly because we all care about men more #because a m/m pairing between two male background or side characters from a popular show will have AT LEAST QUADRUPLE the amount of content #than the content for a f/f ship between MAIN CAST members from that same show. #it just fucking sucks. and i wish i could change it. #it's not always enough to just write it yourself yknow? #thats not really the solution here #it would require a massive restructuring in how we prioritize female characters #especially in order to prioritize them separate from male characters. #the majority of shows or fandoms where a female main cast member is popular? their number one ship in fandom is with a male character. #can't escape it man :( #mine #fandom #i feel like we just dont like dedicating that much time to thinking about women—even fictional women. #it's not as fun or as interesting as thinking about men. and why is that hm? #i cant change what people like to write #but its always so devastating when i see an author who writes really really well #just stick to m/m stories. and theyre fantastic!! but id love to see what those writers could do with female characters too. #an account with like 8 different 50k fics about the same m/m pairing. AND while often writing a f/f pairing as a background pairing #(which is a whole other annoying issue that deserves its own post) #it just makes it even sadder that they dont dedicate that same energy toward imagining what it might look like for that background f/f #pairing to have a story of their own with just as much love and care. #(AND LIKE. YOU CANT EVEN TELL ME ITS JUST CUZ THE CHARACTERS ARE CHARACTERIZED DIFFERENTLY #LIKE TO SAY THAT THE F/F PAIRING JUST WOULDNT BE AS INTERESTING BECAUSE THEYRE MORE STABLE OR NORMAL OR NOT AS CODEPENDENT OR SOME SHIT #LIKE NOT ONLY IS THAT JUST SEXIST. IT'S ALSO HYPOCRITICAL #'CAUSE YOU'RE OUT HERE GIVING WHOLE NEW FANON PERSONALITIES TO THESE MALE CHARACTERS #FUCKING. STEVE HARRINGOTN AND EDDIE MUNSON FROM STRANGER THINGS WOULD NOT IN A MILLION YEARS DATE IN THE SHOW. #SO TO WRITE SOLID FANFICTION WITH GOOD CHEMISTRY YOURE GONNA HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR PERSONALITIES A BIT. #AND THAT'S NOT A BAD THING!!! BUT IT MAKES IT ALL THE MORE FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU JUST...DON'T PUT AS MUCH EFFORT #INTO THE FEMALE CHARACTERS. JUST CUZ YOU DON'T LIKE THEM AS MUCH.

[tj-crochets]

Hey y’all! Do you have any recommendations for thigh high compression socks? Preferably colorful ones, if such a thing exists

#tj asks weird questions #medical mention #well. indirectly medical mention? #they are to help with my hypotension and tachycardia issues #I can accept solid colored socks #I can accept solid boring colored socks #I do not want to spend $70 on a single pair of beige socks #that I might not even be able to wear! #there's always a chance I'll be allergic to those gripper dot things they all seem to have at the top to hold them up #my current compression socks are knee high and solid black #which is fine! but I am short #so 'knee high' is actually just baaaaarely too short for above the knee #but too long to not end up bunching uncomfortably behind the knee if I try to sit while wearing them

Alfred Burke as antagonistic convict (and self-styled tobacco 'baron') Lang in 1962's The Pot Carriers

#fave spotting #alfred burke #the pot carriers #public eye #frank marker #1962 #british cinema #as is common with a lot of alf's pre public eye work‚ particularly in film‚ he plays a real heel here #he's probably the closest thing the film has to a villain (altho the real villain is arguably the prison system etc etc etc) #he makes some interesting choices in performance; Lang is not just a dangerous villain‚ he's an insidious one #in his first scene with Rainbow‚ the first time convict at the centre of the film‚ Lang tries to ingratiate himself with a loan of #cigarettes and a friendly manner; perhaps too friendly... there's just a frisson of camp to Alf's performance in his first scene (telling #Rainbow how he helps out those he likes and 'I like you...') which could be read as a problematic pairing of homosexuality with #corruption among a prison population. or maybe I'm reaching? who knows. but it is as always a joy to see Alf work #really relishing being a snake and going for the cockney menace. clearly he's having a whale of a time #i mean just look at that big grin in the 2nd picture.... #this one turns up on tptv now and then i think and is well worth watching for brits with access

My cool aunt from louisiana is visiting and she gave me some equally cool boots bc they're moving back to the south (she and my uncle have lived in rhode island for a long time) and she knew she wouldn't wear black knee-high boots in the heat and we have the same shoe size :)

#I've been craving a pair of black knee high boots lol #they're a bit snug in the foot but they're already stretching out a bit #but oughhh the calves are stretchy and already a bit wide so they actually feel good on my legs #time to go walk around outside a bit to continue breaking them in #i love those relatives they're lovely #they're a shih tzu family™️ (they always have one or two) and they're always the sweetest most well-behaved little dogs #their current dog is named Mr. Beans (just bean for short) bc their last one was named franklin.... like frank n beans :)

[silvcrpanthera]

sherrystirred: To the one and only who holds my heart. People used to see me through glasses of grandeur, someone unreachable and so awfully sordid at the same time, and perhaps, they were right to an extent and for the longest time I’d thought it was all I was and would ever be — until you came with a picture. I suppose the universe works in the strangest ways, don’t you think? Putting us together, the two people who have been judged by others because of our outer appearances, as if we were standing before a thin glass and we were left for them to either idealize or ridicule. And yet, we were put together, all of those things thrown aside and we bonded with our deepest viscerality — you are beautiful inside and outside, my darling, but when we spoke through that wall separating us, my thoughts were immediately enticed by yours. How you spoke of your ambition and dreams with so much fervor and encouraged me to do just the same. How you would always be so patient and thoughtful of my mind instead of my looks. I remember how easy it was to talk to you, like a human being, and the one falling in love at that. Although we might have encountered hassles later and unfortunate losses — I don’t think when it comes to us, there is not a single thing that I regret. I was the happiest when we wed for the first time, the saddest when we had to bury the innocent hands that sought for us, and now I am the most delighted to be able to twine my life completely with yours again.

I spent months, weeks, and seconds growing more and more eager for this day, and after we exchanged our vows it is easy to say that this occasion is even better than the first one. It has always been you whom I pictured standing on the other side of the altar. I know you at times find that hard to believe, but I had never once ever dared to glance at another when it came to love, despite my noxious way of coping, it was always you who I wanted to see again. You often tell me you don’t think you’re good enough, but Ducky, hun, you’re everything and more to me. Your laughter spreads joy to my soul, the one that I thought had passed alongside our son, your happiness and struggle coat my life like a blanket. I care not for how hard things could be, we have gone through all of those together, and with the abundance of love that I have for you — I will do it all over again without even a second thought. I will forsake all of those ridiculous desires in order to be with you, and you only. You are that special to me, and there is no other person that can in the slighest cause me to feel this yearning yet at the exact same time utterly safe.

Everything about this union was perfect. I had thought I would be so composed and yet there I was, an emotional mess over and over, though I suppose that is understandable after everything that we had to go through. I am happy. I can say that with the most sincerity now, outloud, and it would not have been possible if it were not for you. I was a wrecked pile of shit who had thought I’d never be able to get a second chance to be the person that I had been before the shit hit the fan and yet here we are. We have gone through the impossible both as an individual and as a pair, but know that all of this would not have been plausible without you and your encouragement. It was amazing to see everyone here, and I had to keep glancing at our newest baby, and I noticed how entranced he was by everything surrounding him. It felt like I was in cloud nine, and I know, wedding ceremony or not, I will be able to continue to feel that way from this point onward. The biggest storms could happen to us and I can say with the utmost confidence that none would change the joy that I feel when I’m around the two of you. I am looking forward to all of our days spent ahead together — to wake up to the sound of your tranquil breathing and call you my spouse, without an ounce of hesitation. To raise our child together again, and memorize the times that we had with the one that we lost together. We had been broken into pieces before, but we have, somehow, managed to bring them back together and I couldn’t have been happier.

I love you, deeply, and endlessly. My love spanned through an abundance of years, and has never once faltered. Here’s to our wedding, and to all of the magnificent days together, my lovely star-seeker.

[fortes-fortuna-iogurtum]

29, 35, and 73 for the spotify asks? <3

#29 is Lights On by Colony House!! I really like this song, tho I think I probably have a rather different interpretation of it's about than what the real meaning of it is 😅😂 "I thought I heard the welcome music playing/I thought I heard a voice say I was home/I didn't know it was so complicated/to read the signs that told me you were home/I thought I saw the lights on" I resonated a lot with this one when I first heard it bc those lines << felt a Lot like my struggles at the time--I was going through a lot of confusion and anxiety concerning my college plans, and try as I might, I just could not figure out what the best way forward was. but it had all seemed so clear just a few months before!! a bunch of doors opened and improbable things happened and I thought it was finally all coming together!! and then several spanners were thrown in the works and suddenly I had no idea what was happening anymore and none of it made any sense again. so yeah, that's definitely why this song got listened to a lot during the handful of months all that was happening, lol

#35 is Behold (Live) by Mission House, another one I listened to a lot in the car. I've already talked in another ask about how much I love Jess Ray's music, and as she's one of the key members of this band, it makes sense that this song and most of the others I've heard from them hit me the same way. this one's definitely much more Worship Music-y than a lot of the stuff I listen to on a regular basis (mostly bc I'm really picky about worship music and can be kinda critical of it if I feel like theology or artfulness is lacking, which is something I'm trying to work on lately lol 😅), but I love this one a lot. I just find it really hopeful and comforting, a reminder of how good everything is going to be eventually, when all the bad is undone. something I need to be reminded of a lot, especially after everything these last few years have been.

"the empty filled, the wounded healed, the broken back together/the poor are blessed, the weary rest, we will dance forever/the blinded see, the chained are free, the doubtful now believers/the outcast known, the orphan home, you are my redeemer/behold! behold! behold what love can do!/behold! behold! he's making all things new!"

#73 is The Arcadian Wild's cover of Never Die Young. love The Arcadian Wild and everything they release. they've been on my Top Favs Band list for several years now and I don't think they'll lose their place there anytime soon. in fact, I think they've actually had a prominent place on every Spotify Wrapped I've ever had?? plus I like James Taylor's music in its own right, so this combo was something I did not expect but absolutely did not complain about when it happened!! :D

#maybe I should clarify--thinking critically about worship music isn't a bad thing and I don't intend to stop doing that #but I'm trying to pair my tendency towards intense criticism #with a graceful spirit and the understanding that perfect theology isn't always the point of modern worship music #(and I actually do have IssuesTM with that in and of itself. but I think I should probably judge stuff by its own criteria. #and since the main criterion for most modern worship music isn't necessarily 'articulates accurate and well-presented theology' #then I can't really judge it too harshly when it doesn't do those things. since that's not usually what it's meant to do. #plus I have people who I love who really enjoy that style of worship music and are uplifted and encouraged by it. so I'm trying to keep #some of those critical thoughts to myself bc it's not so helpful to them to hear me constantly tear apart the things they enjoy. #gurt says stuff #music #asks #spotify wrapped #thank you for this ask!! I'm really enjoying sharing my wrapped results and rambling about all the songs!! :D
