Seeing All The 14-17 Y/o Queer Kids Who Don’t Know What V For Vendetta Is…. U Mean The Blockbuster

I feel like this happens often with music and arts. People only listens to the cute, romantic songs, or don't actually pay attention to the lyrics and the actual message, which is imo kinda disrespectful to the author.

"How sad it's that people suffers, but maybe they'll be happy even in adversity", but that's the thing. They! Shouldn't! Be! Suffering! And in the arts that can reflect at these tragic, lovely stories; but it's on us to actually think those over critically. Every story that gets told gets told for a reason. So, please, if you have the time, try to choose a random song you like and think about it. I promise it'll be worth it.

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.

I’m in a love-hate situation with this fandom but the idea of defenders of tomorrow is fucking hilarious to me so here’s my messy-ass contribution

I can’t believe this is the first drawing I’m posting on this website ugh

Sometimes I feel as if everyone is a hormonal disaster and I am in the middle of everything, being a ball of puff pastry.

A brief moment of rationality from the bird place.

Things I remember reading online that I wish I had screenshotted: Story of a trans guy, estranged from family, who got an invitation to his sister's wedding, but their parents had specified that he'd better come in a dress or not come at all. But they hadn't seen him in almost 7 years and didn't know that not only was he on T and had surgeries, he's a passionate weightlifter.

So if I remember right he sent the sister a heads-up beforehand and the sister was like "holy shit do it", and he showed up in a pink, frilly dress, and sneakers. No makeup, jewellery or anything, just this bulky, hairy dude in a dress for no particular reason.

Their parents, naturally, still got mad despite of him following their exact, specific instructions in order to "not embarrass the family", and after the wedding the sister made sure to pick as many photos of the wedding as possible with the brother visible in them, because it was now a funny family story of bringing the family together by pissing the shit out of their parents.

i’m gonna become a naruto villain so naruto will punch me and tell me i’m actually a good person inside

quiet anxiety but not enough to stand up and do the thing

i think it's so fun that "damn" is such a casual curse word now that it's basically become divorced completely from its original meaning. like oops i dropped my phone, time to invoke the wrath of god about it in the most mildly annoyed tone of voice imaginable.
