It's okay to escape sometimes

i would like to go on a little walk with someone, hand in hand, to the seaside and acquire warm beverages together. if it isn’t too much trouble.

yes ofc hozier isnt just the take me to church guy but also if he has to be defined by one song take me to church is one Hell of a number. no masters or kings when the ritual begins? there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin?? can we talk about that? there is NO sweeter innocence, there is nothing more holy than you and i right now. divinity isnt housed in the church and it cant be heard from the mouth of a priest, the ONLY heaven i'll be sent to is when im alone with you . girl what

hozier (2014) being hozier’s debut album is fucking nuts like… take me to church?? from eden?? work song?? like real people do?? it will come back?? foreigner’s god?? cherry wine?? SEDATED?? what the fuck??

people make jokes about how people who weren’t allowed to watch spongebob as a kid are always talking about how they weren’t allowed to watch spongebob but as one of the aforementioned people who wasn’t allowed to watch spongebob my insight on the matter is: you would not BELIEVE the amount of times spongebob comes up in normal adult conversations. i don’t often think about him of my own accord but people reference him and i have to say. what? and they say. it’s from spongebob?? and i say. oh i never watched spongebob. and they say why? and i say. i wasn’t allowed to. and then a few weeks later it happens again

respectfully have u never watched it as an adult either?

respectfully why would i watch a kids show that holds no nostalgia for me as an adult?

(Getting swindled by a genie) it’s like talking to a fucking tumblr user with you

the genie: how dare you say I'm fucking a tumblr user

I am a proponent of “the movie is better than the book” more often than most people think I would be.

imo the really interesting story of the iliad is the fact that, because it’s a later telling of the story, all the characters are self-conscious abt their legendary status. like the first time we see helen, she’s weaving a tapestry of all the men who will die for her. the characters all have a tragic sense of foreboding & also a feeling of helpless submission to the power of the narrative. the greek nonbelief in human agency is always super weird but its esp weird in homer imo bc the cosmological force isn’t so much fate as it is the story: hektor and achilles know that they’re tragic heroes, helen knows she’s an evil seductress, cassandra knows she’s cursed, patroklos and andromache know that they can’t do anything 2 stop the men they love from dying. which makes the tone of the story very strange, almost as if the characters are going thru the motions of a story they’re told before
