brooding men who cannot communicate their feelings if their life depended on it are only hot when they're fictional. if i have to deal with one in real life i will curse him and pray for his downfall every night before i go to bed

It's because the writer communicates their feelings for them. If people wanna pull that off in real life they need to hire a guy to walk around behind them narrating.

#can i be the guy#ill narrate SO incorrectly#theyll all learn how to talk for themselves just to shut me up (via @cirrus-grey)

i'm loving the implication that this isn't something they hired you for, but something you'd do as some sort of public service.

Hozier's Hymn to Virgil

“There’s points where Virgil picks Dante up and carries him over certain places, and puts him on the back of beasts who fly him over ravines and all of this fantastical stuff. He holds this guy when he faints and trembles and weeps,” Hozier said. “Dante the living human in this poem is, like, horrified. And then he arrives at the end of it, and Virgil says, ‘Well, I can go no further.’ And Dante, the writer, knows on some level that Virgil is not a man who deserves to be in hell.”

It's such a good song, but also reminds me of the time in middle school where I made a priest question hist faith and the church when I told him I didn't like the Catholic Church's stance on hell/purgatory because it was too black and white and the world is shades of gray. He, think he was talking to a normal 12ish year old, asked what I meant.

Actual conversion:

At this point I left him alone to his thoughts. We were at an event and I don't even know why I struck up a conversation with this priest. I suppose since I wasn't Catholic, and I had formed my own opinions on the Catholic Church already, my weird preteen self just went for it. But like an hour later he found me in the crowd and stopped me to tell me that he thinks that I am probably right about the world being shades of gray.

I should also say that this was maybe 2003-4. I was tall for my age, but probably at best mistaken for a freshman in high school.

Anyway, this song is really good. I recommend you listen to it and think about how maybe condemning people of other faiths to hell just because they aren't your faith means your faith is pretty shitty.

Hozier on Skavian

We really can.

These were some of my harvests last year. Just started harvesting my first veggies of this season in the last two weeks. Last year I probably picked $2000 worth of produce from my own front yard.

Kill you lawn, folks.

Hozier on the meaning behind Too Sweet 🖤

I have been searching my whole life for the phrase "too sweet to be savory" because I have had to deal with that exact time of person before and that is exactly how I felt about them but I never had the words to verbalize it before now.

Hozier - Unknown / Nth (Behind The Song)

How do you explain to someone that your taste in music is English lit/philosophy set to the perfect music sung by some kind of Irish fae come to life?

I wake up to a blue light, my phone’s warning of a news alert: 50 people are dead

I rub my eyes and grab my glasses because I must have read that wrong: 50 people are dead

I start opening articles, grogily hoping to find a lower count, but 50 people are dead

it wasn’t until the third link that I read the whole title: 50 people are dead in an Orlando gay bar, club, a safe place, accepting, and 50 people are dead because one man’s hate can shoot a machine gun into a crowd until 50 people are dead

in a place they came to be themselves, their acceptance was met with violence and 50 people are dead

my community is grieving again striving for strength to not sink in the stats and 50 people are dead

already politicians offer prayers and thoughts but 50 people are dead

they blame a religion to not talk about hate, but 50 people are dead for being gay and there are “christians” celebrating that 50 people are dead “because at least they were perverts” because gay means it’s okay that 50 people are dead

conservatives are quick to complain “don’t politicize this tragedy” cause 50 people are dead

but they’ve politicized gay lives, governed their love, but now that 50 people are dead this is not about politics. blame Islam and ISIS, not guns, but 50 people are dead

the deadliest mass shooting  and the US can only acknowledge that 50 people are dead more injured, struggling and their family can’t help them because 50 people are dead but it’s still illegal for a gay man to donate blood

50 people are dead

one man, two guns, and he didn’t break a law until 50 people are dead

Only 49 people were killed, but I wrote this when everything was still in chaos. I am not going to edit the poem, because this is a poem about the emotional reaction to finding out your community was attacked. This poem was written while sirens were still singing, and my heart is no less broken now that they’ve stopped. -Jade Asta Quinn
