This Feels Especially Important To Remember Right Now As The Uk Welfare System Is Under Attack, Wish

i had the idea for this last tdov but it didnt come together until now 🥖🍷 though i'm not religious, this quote is beloved to me

DEBBIE HARRY as NICKI BRAND in VIDEODROME (1983) dir. David Cronenberg

they should invent a past that doesn't beat inside me like a second heart

See. This is all I ever wanted for you, Will. For both of us.

Post 5 songs you like then send this to 10 of your favorite followers✨ (no pressure!)

So excited to get this ask! I’ve included 6 rather than 5, I’ll claim it’s for layout reasons and not because I can’t make a choice to save my life…

I really struggled with choosing because I love such a wide range of music but I chose the songs I’ve had on repeat recently.

Mindless self indulgence have pretty reliably been in the rotation for over a decade now and surprisingly to no one the song with faggot in the title has been in my fagdyke ears a lot!

Nerf herder are soooo right btw, I don’t want a boyfriend, WHAT I WANT IS MR SPOCK!!!

I discovered cibo matto on my recent rewatch of buffy the vampire slayer (nerf herder and morcheeba are also featured although I somehow hadn’t realised this until this rewatch!) and they are so freaking awesome!! They have an entire album with lyrics about food and the band name literally translates to crazy food, dare I say they are the coolest people ever.

The downward spiral by nine inch nails is one of my favourite albums and this coil remix of closer is freaking delicious.

I’ve been listening to morcheeba since I was in the womb (Thanku to my mam for her awesome music taste) and have been listening to this song a lot recently! (I have a really cool morcheeba tshirt with some crazy lore which I will probably share someday soon..)

Finally and most importantly, I had to include at least one Welsh language song/artist. I’ve been grieving the loss of my ability to visit my homeland since becoming increasingly disabled and since living in England for so long I’ve largely forgotten my native tongue. I’ve been listening to lots of Welsh language music recently to try and feel closer to my roots and sage todz is a favourite! I would be remiss not to also mention the lovely band adwaith who I’ve been enjoying recently and who hail from my hometown Caerfyrddin!

ANYWAY, I would apologise for the unnecessary ramble but who would I be if I didn’t over explain myself and the things I love..

Thank you to my lovely moot for the ask and opportunity to natter about some songs I’m passionate about <33

Sorry, can’t talk, I’m busy listening to a 6 hour podfic on ao3 and doing sudoku. Yeah, this is the life I’ve always dreamed of. What of it?

One day I will successfully find my holy grail item for a reasonable price in decent condition, and I will win the eBay bidding war and everything will be right in the world.

This is the prayer I repeat daily whilst scouring the internet.

No one can know what the item is until it has been successfully purchased and integrated into my chamber, for I do not trust anyone with this information! It is a rare and sought after gem and it must be claimed by myself before I can reveal its beauty to the masses!!

Hunger Games didn’t really eat holes in my brain the way that it did for some other people but god the opening lines. The opening lines. Katniss wakes up in bed and immediately, instinctively reaches beside her, only to find the bed empty and cold. Before we even know her name – before we know literally anything about her or this world or her place in that world – we know that she loves someone. We know that she is reaching for where Prim should be, sleeping safe and warm beside her, but Prim is not there. She is not there, and her half of the bed is cold and empty. People talk about characters being “doomed by the narrative” when most of the time the character was literally just a well-foreshadowed death, but Prim WAS doomed by the narrative. It’s the very first thing we learned. It’s the most key, integral, important piece of information we’re given about everything that is about to happen: Every single choice Katniss makes is to protect her little sister, and it isn’t enough. In the end, Prim still dies. Prim was dead before the story even started. Katniss, reaching. Prim’s side of the bed was cold and empty. There is no version of this story where Prim could have been saved. Katniss, reaching. The very first thing she does in the series. She wakes, and she reaches, but Prim is already gone. THAT is how you do Doomed By The Narrative. Edit: Also it is key that there was literally nothing Katniss could have done differently. If she had not acted to save Prim, Prim would not have survived the Hunger Games. But by acting to save Prim, Katniss accidentally kicked off an entire rebellion and ultimately massively increased the amount of danger Prim was actually in. The key is that this is irrelevant. If Katniss had done literally anything differently, Prim still would have died. If Katniss had faltered or changed course at any point, Prim still would have died. There was never a point where Katniss could have changed Prim’s fate. There’s no version of this story where Prim lives to see the end of it. She’s dead before the story begins. That’s doomed by the narrative.

there’s absolutely nothing better than reading a 100k word fanfic, that is until you remember you have a body that is starving, thirsty and incredibly sleep deprived and hasn’t used the bathroom since the sun set 8 hours ago

Takes a guy who's obsessed with saving people even if it risks his life and a guy who is literally allergic to asking for help in any situation and puts them in My stew puts them in my fucking stew and stirs it
