Me: It's About Monsters It's About Those Othered By Society, It's About Civilization And Weaponized Shame,

me: it's about monsters it's about those othered by society, it's about civilization and weaponized shame, it's about the power of controlling your own narrative and the devastation of it being taken away from you, it's about security vs freedom, compassion vs pragmatism, begging for admittance vs burning the house down, it's inevitability and foregone conclusions and the things we'll do for love. when the king brands us pirates, he doesn't mean to make us adversaries. he doesn't mean to make us criminals. he means to make us monsters.

guy who wanted to date me: oh yeah that's the uh, the pirate one right? yeah I saw some of that, it was pretty good

But please, tell me again how very, totally non-bi he is.

i see, Artie…..

I always find their sarcastic remarks and banter charming.

"art *cough* is dying from an incurable disease but- I need the money"

some interview yt has recommended! a lot of sarcasm, banter, and talking mostly about their breakup and tour after the get-together. the interviewer is a bit...rude (that might just be me not understanding sarcasm) and has the worst thumbnail bc they're smiling half the time in the interview

im just so so soft for this

Come on!

While I believe heathens are free to worship and acknowledge whichever gods and spirits feel right to them within the pantheon, choosing not to worship Loki because you “don’t want to invite chaos” is the height of hubris.

Remember that even Frigg and Odin could not prevent chaos, and remember what happened when they tried.

Chaos, like many things in life, will find you whether you invite it or not, so maybe show it some respect every once in a while x0x

Found quite an interesting article on Paul & Artie's concert in Akron OH, July 1983.

"Simon & Garfunkel packed Rubber Bowl in 1983" Couple of highlights:

"'Art and I haven’t resolved anything,' Simon said. 'What we’ve done is put them aside, at least temporarily. Although I suppose if you can extend temporarily long enough, maybe you have solved the problem.'"

(...)

"Garfunkel told reporters that getting back onstage stirred a lot of feelings. 'There are a lot of different emotions that go through the mind when we’re out there,' he said. 'Singing Old Friends with an old friend is something.'" Well, we know how it ended, but still I find it all rather sweet.
