“Just one more chapter, it’ll be quick” I said.

Little did I know,

It was not, in fact, just one

Nor was it, in fact, quick.

#storytelling through music

omg soldier, poet, king is NOT a Christian worship song

folks on tiktok being like YALL DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ABOUT JESUS??? and "better take it off my dnd playlist now!!!"

it's not about jesus holy fuck, i mean, it is, but it isn't.

Dear Wormwood is a concept album that uses biblical symbolism to talk about an abusive relationship. The Oh Hellos have a whole ass THING about retelling stories (biblical, mythological etc) to use to deal with your own story which is like...a whole thing in storytelling anyway (the new testament is a monomyth yall, Hero's Journey 1.0, in that regard everything is biblical)

Dear Wormwood is put in the context of someone writing letters (inspired by The Screwtape Letters, CS Lewis) to their abuser. "Soldier, Poet, King" is from the perspective of the protagonist, on the receiving end of the abuse, who (after the song "Exeunt") is escaping from the abuse and attempting to continue their life outside of it. The person who is the soldier, poet, king, is the protagonist. "your city" is the abusive relationship. "Wormwood" is the devil of this person's life.

If you look on Genius, yeah the story is about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. In context? It's about the Second Coming of the protagonist. The rebirth they get after escaping.

The ending song of the album, "Thus Always to Tyrants", the last line of the album is

Where I go, will you still follow? Will you leave your shaded hollow? Will you greet the daylight looming? Learn to love without consuming?

The protagonist is attempting to mentally escape from the abuse, worried about carrying the trauma into the next relationship.

Soldier Poet King is not about Jesus. It's about fighting. It's about escaping the cycle of abuse. It's about the power that resides in stories, about people who have experienced this before and succeeded. It's about using those stories and learning from them.

Keep the shit on your dnd playlist, it's sort of the whole point.

Actually just a picture of me

This

LOOK!!! LOOK HOW COOL THIS IS!!!

another gravity falls animation! :3 hope yall enjoy!

Y'all, why is Pinterest the gateway app? It's either Twitter or Tumblr if you start on Pinterest. Eventually the Pinterest user goes, "welp. guess I should probably at least check out the source of all this stolen shit." And then they get sucked in and install whichever app they think is more worth their time. Everyone who ends up here has at least interacted with Pinterest, right? How many of us came from Pinterest because it started giving you stolen Tumblr posts?

Okay, the only word that I feel like gets close enough to what I'm looking for (by dictionary definition) is dionysiac, which according to my good friend *Oxford Learner's means "relating to the physical senses and the emotions, especially when they are expressed without control" but idk guys, while I'm known to be dramatic at times, saying "ugh, I'm so dionysiac rn" seems awfully pretentious

*For some reason that definition only comes up in the Learner's edition, not the regular Oxford dictionary (OED) which is weird. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

Alright so sensual attraction is a thing. We all can acknowledge that, look it up on Google, confirm it. Great. Why is horny the only word close enough to describe randomly remembering I'm sensually attracted to my girlfriend? I hate that. "Horny" is wrong, that's not what I'm feeling but also I can't describe it in one word any better. Yeah, I've been thinking about my gf lightly bestowing kisses upon my skin and giving me the good shivers, but not in a "I need her to fuck me rn" kinda way, in a "wow I love feeling physical manifestations of love from my partner, it makes me happy and wow oh wow I love my gf so much" kinda way. I'm asexy horny. Gods I hate the word horny. Someone please give me an alternative word, my soul is screaming
