Long Drive
SFW
You can’t sleep. Your body too full of a thrumming sadness you can’t be rid of. The source of which you can’t pin down. Your heart feels stuck to your sternum and you turn over in bed again searching for some kind of relief.
“Can’t sleep?”
Billy’s husky voice finds you in the dark.
“Not even a little.”
The two of you climb into the car, you bring your thin blanket and he doesn’t bother putting on a shirt. He’s warm enough to brave the spring chill without one. You let the passenger seat back and watch dark trees slide by the window. A navy sky empty of stars. His hand comes groping under the blanket, searching for your hand and you offer it, lacing your fingers with his.
“What’s got you sad?”
“How’d you know?”
He gives you a skeptical look.
“All this time, you still think you can keep a secret from me?”
It makes you smile, however sadly.
“Just feeling…far away…don’t know why.”
He nods slowly, his eyes watching the horizon while he mulls over what you’ve said.
“From me?”
You shrug.
“From everything. Just…feel like I’m missing something.”
He brings your hand to his lips.
“I’m here.”
You smile.
“I know.” You say “I know you’re here. I know I’m not really on my own I just…” You don’t have the words to finish this feeling. It has no particular name. “Why couldn’t you sleep?”
He heaves a deep sigh.
“Steve texted me.”
This rings alarm bells, you raise the seat to sit up and look at him.
“Yeah? Is he okay?”
He shakes his head.
“The nightmares came back. Bouncing’ off the fuckin walls over there.”
You groan, your heart filling with worry.
“How can he still live in that town?”
He shrugs.
“The kids are there. He won’t leave till they graduate.”
“Fuck.” Your head falls against the rest. “I worry about him,” you say. “A guy like that shouldn’t live alone. He needs people around.”
“I told him,” Billy grumbles, clearly worried about his friend. The sensitive boy he sometimes thinks of as a brown-eyed puppy. He rifles through the glovebox, retrieving his cigarettes with a huff.
“You told him he can live with us, right? If he wants to?”
“I fuckin’ told him, baby,” he says around the cigarrette. He rolls down the window a second too late, filling the car with the heady musk of smoke. “He’s a stubborn asshole.”
You cough and he apologizes, giving your knee an affectionate squeeze. You tell him it’s fine and crack your window as well. The two of you sit in silence for a while. Winding through streets in no particular order.
“You think people can feel it when you're thinking about them?” Billy glances over at you. Unsure how to answer. “I mean, psychically. Like…I think about it with celebrities sometimes. When there's thousands of people thinking about you all at once, it has to have some effect. Maybe it just makes them sneeze.” He grins a little, taking another long hit from his Marlboro. “So maybe Steve’s sneezing his brains out right about now.”
“I hope so. I hope he knows we give a shit.”
“I think he knows you care. You tried hard after everything. He trusts you now.”
“Hmm.”
He takes another long pull from his cigarette and angles the smoke toward the window. He avoids downtown and all that traffic, choosing instead to wind through the empty streets curving toward the San Bernadino mountains.
“Are you gonna call him?”
He sighs. Already his cigarette is nearly gone.
“And say what?”
“I don’t know. Sometimes people just need to hear they’re gonna be okay. And it means something coming from you.”
He scoffs. The cigarette is done, and he scrubs it against the heel of his shoe before flicking it out the window.
“You don’t think he listens to you?”
“If he listened to me he’d leave that asscrack of a town.”
You shrug, slumping down in your seat.
“Leaving your home can be scary.”
“So fuckin’ what? Shit gets scary, do it anyway.”
You can’t help laughing.
“I knew it, I knew you read that book!”
You can see him start to blush in the cool blue light from the dashboard. You’re talking about the book his therapist recommended the year after moving out of Hawkins. Do It Scared. He’d insisted he wasn’t interested in reading it, yet here he was quoting it like scripture. Your teasing gets to him, and he retaliates by jamming his fingers into the ticklish spot on your side. You’re forced against the door where you can’t wiggle out of his reach. Instantly you’re apologizing, begging for him to stop through painfully uncontrollable laughter.
He’s smiling when he relents, satisfied to have taken his revenge. You settle back in your seat with a sigh. Followed by a yawn.
“There it is,” he says, affection softening his tone.
He brings your hand to his mouth again. Each of your fingers gets a turn against his lips. You watch him, taking in the details of his profile. You've looked at him so many times you've completely lost count, but every time you do it feels new. You discover something in the beauty of him that makes you realize again how much you want him nearby. This time, you watch his careful gaze as he looks out onto the road ahead. His lashes, tail lights shining into ocean blue. He’s worrying.
“Anyway. Not everyone can just barrel through stuff. He’s scared and he could use a call from you.”
“Alright, alright. I’ll check on the little dweeb. Happy?”
“Very,” you answer with a sleepy smile.
You find yourselves far from home, wondering on and on as the hours roll by. You both have class in the morning, but there’s something so comforting about the car and the darkened streets. You waste time, long stretches of it going by without a word spoken between you. Not much needs to be said in company as familiar as this. You’re able to be together, letting go your tensions with every new scratch of mile. Drowsy and quiet until sunrise.

Lauri Carleton was an active ally for the LGBT community and she was murdered for displaying and defending the pride flag outside her store in California on Friday night (8/18/23)
Carleton, who preferred to be called “Lauri,” is survived by her husband and nine children in a blended family. She owned and operated the Mag.Pi clothing store in Cedar Glen. The unincorporated community in the San Bernadino Mountains is roughly 60 miles (96 kilometers) east of downtown Los Angeles.
An LGBTQ group in nearby Lake Arrowhead said Carleton didn’t identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, but spent time helping and advocating for everyone and was defending her Pride flags placed in front of her shop on the night of the shooting.
#homophobia#transphobia#thank you for your bravery and support Lauri 🤍 this isn’t fair to anyone#she was 66

most mountain goats songs are time loops. some of them are brief stolen moments of singularity (like san bernadino and snow owl, quiet irreplaceable wonder), but mostly they're time loops and the characters are stuck. sometimes they know they're in a time loop, sometimes they suspect they're in a time loop, sometimes they're actively trying to get out, sometimes they've made peace with the loop, and sometimes they have no idea they're in a time loop and they never will. I'm being so serious btw
#actually though as someone who has read 3 books by him john is obsessed with peoples habits and rituals big and small#almost every mountain goats song gives you the sense that this has happened before and it will happen again#we've been here before weve been here a hundred times before#many mountain goats songs are also about a character trying to figure out how to tell someone else about the time loop they usually fail#oh and the loop starts again every time you listen to the song btw

every other prime
2. Distant Stations covered by Andrew Bird - this one is honestly on there by mistake, though it's a good song. I swear I put it on one day and then took my headphones out and left it on repeat for hours and hours, because there is no conceivable way I listened to it enough for it to make top 5. If you feel cheated by that answer, true number 2 is You're on Your Own, Kid by Taylor Swift, which is a favourite choresbop for me. I have to hand it to madame Swift that a concept song about how being a pick-me girl for a mediocre small town boy didn't work out and then the singer ends up in some kind of nebulous blood-soaked mess is a fun concept.
5. Pyxis by Home which I got off a REALLY good wrestling music video and then became broadly obsessed with the entire album for coding bops. No lyrics, just chill electronic. Listening to this song really relaxes me, which is good for when I'm feeling out of my depth on a thorny problem.
11. THATS WHAT I WANT by Lil Nas X, another poppy choresbop. Many of the songs on my repeat list just help vacuuming feel like an adventure.
17. Travelers' Encore by Andrew Prahlow, one of the main themes from Outer Wilds. Augh ough emotions <333
23. Before the Night by Home, which happens to be the song after Pyxis on the album
31. Holy Roller by Thao, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down KAY REC ALERT!!!!!! I adored the personal playlist this ended up on which is a real delightful and honest mix of nostalgia picks, new loves, ship brainrot music, and "idk I'm coding to this shhhh" music.
41. The Fox, The Crow & The Cookie by mewithoutYou ough this one is just transcendent to me. Adaptation of a particular aesop's fable with a tone and instrumentation that just drives me wild. At one point I could name that chime-like instrument that carries the melody in background but it drives me wild
47. San Bernadino by The Mountain Goats I had a Heretic Pride moment earlier this year. This song is tender, if a little desperate. Something about the rose petal imagery gets me, like naive but true.
59. Cruel World by Phantogram which I nabbed from @eldesperadont's Jay White playlist and sits on my FinJay playlist as the narrative place where Jay comes back from excursion and is just a Total Asshole now. Great song too.
67. Tighten Up by The Black Keys which ended up on my Narita/Tsuji playlist because it reminded me of Tsuji :)
73. Make Me Wanna Die by The Pretty Reckless, both a Kuwana Jin song AND a coding bop for me. Do not ask me to psychoanalyze that one, it just feels right feels good.
83. I Ain't Worried by OneRepublic which surprises me! This is for sure an old chores bop, vivid and sweaty-handed memories of getting through my last move by pounding this one into my ears. I can't remember when this year I used this song to get through a Task but surely it did its job.
97. Stop a Bullet by Black Light Burns, also on the Finjay playlist, which I listened to quite a bit, being the main fic project of the year :)
I've sectioned out a handful that might be to your tastes here, thank you for playing fren <3
#asks#spotify wrapped asks#i am not so much a music Listener as someone who uses music to service many aspects of my life#are my tastes good? who knows! probably not#do they help me function and write stories? oh hell yes

From my Good Omens art journal. Collage, stickers.
"And flaming swords may guard the Garden of Eden
But we consulted maps from earlier days
Dead languages on our tongues
Holding onto our last hope
... And it was hard but you were brave, you are splendid
And we will never be alone in this world
No matter what they say
We're gonna be okay" -The Mountain Goats, "San Bernadino"

i know i haven't posted art in a while, but here's my new inquisitor Baqir Lavellan at various stages of his life (including his time as a spy within the Tevinter Imperium :0) as well as his daughter, Rahat!
I've been considering writing a fic about him and doriaaaan but we'll see if i have the time and the spoons for it lol
Also if Baqir had a song it would be Spent Gladiator by The Mountain Goats or San Bernadino also by the Mountain Goats :P
(click for better quality, reblogs are always appreciated <3)
