new little tattoo on me by me 💜

something something drowning something something land something something hand in unlovable hand

on a minecraft boat screaming "the goat something!" at my partners over the phone bc i could not remember the name of the band that sings the song with the words "there is no sign of land! you are coming down with me!"

which is what i was trying to sing on my little boat with not a land in sight

and then a temple squid cursed me with status effect of spoon

can't say that 2023 was my favorite

(2012 minecraft parody voice) I am mining... there are no blocks of sand.... you are digging down with me.... hand in unbreakable hand... and I hope we mine.... I hope we both mine.......

the mountain goats make music for people who spent their entire lives convinced they would die before they were 17 except now they're 26 and they have a job and friends and hobbies and they're not sure what they're meant to do now that they've survived

as a certified mountain goats girlie i’m here to tell you that we’ve done enough circulating of “i hope you die / i hope we both die” from no children & now it’s time to circulate these lyrics from you were cool instead

and i want to go home but i am home

happy valentines day

they should swirl . unencumbered and free

the difference between the mountain goats and they might be giants is that you'll hear a tmg song that sounds like absolute nonsense and look up the lyrics and the annotations are like "oh actually this is a reference to the canterbury tales and also a metal band that existed for one month in 1996 and played three shows ever and all existing tapes of their debut album were melted down into glue 20 years ago" vs you'll hear a tmbg song that sounds like absolute nonsense and look up the lyrics and the annotations quote an interview with the johns where they're like "if you even think about interpreting this song we'll come to your house and kill you"

its less than a week til you've made it through this year if it kills you, so turn on the song and prepare to leave some snacks for the mountain goats on new years eve

mountain goats litany for survival: I am gonna make it through this year it it kills me

mountain goats litany for divorce: hand in unlovable hand

mountain goats litany for justice: I’m gonna bribe the officials, I’m gonna kill all the judges

mountain goats litany for revenge: I will personally stab you in the eye with a foreign object

mountain goats litany for weird kid pride: wearing my lizard suit to the party

mountain goats litany for meeting word count: the most remarkable thing about you standing in the doorway is that it’s you and you are standing in the doorway

mountain goats litany against nonsense and also handball: I did not come to play handball

mountain goats litany against anti-intellectualism: I use the term advisedly according to Webster's 9th New Collegiate, definition 4b

amen

me: 2 redbull and an adderall breakfast is the most important meal of the day :)

my guardian angel (currently taking the form of the guy from the mountain goats to try and get me to listen to him): Do we think maybe a vegetable would help you “make it through this year”
