This Is How We Move, Billie Marten (2023) 🌬️🍃

I wasn't well before him My bones were awful cold, and it was Too dark for healing Did what I'm told But this is how we move You will be my muse I got what I was asking for And I dug myself right up The earth was pouring on my brow And I knew I was enough

One thing I’ve noticed about people in or entering their 30s is they don’t make as many compromises anymore. If someone doesn’t meet them halfway, is not up to standard, is just not where they’re needed to be, they’re just like “ok cool” and they move on from the person. Which is not to say they’re less empathetic or understanding, but more that they have learned that time is their most prized possession and they’re not willing to make massive compromises on it. They are not obsessed w the idea of fixing someone (bc the concept of fixing a person doesn’t really exist). They simply move on to someone who is up to par. I want that. I want to always move w the awareness that time is my most priceless belonging and I can never buy it back. Ever. So I have to use it wisely

Just a political difference, they say.

There’s something beautifully tragic about Billie Marten’s latest single, ‘This is How We Move,’ as if she’s somewhat resigned to her romantic fate. 

‘I wasn't well before him/My bones were awful cold,’ she notes, her words adrift in a beautiful sea of tender guitar and soft orchestral tones, in stark contrast to the joyous scenes of sonic collaboration we see in the clip. But whether it’s a love that consumes Marten for better or worse remains to be seen... 

‘This is How We Move’ is from Marten’s upcoming fourth album, Drop Cherries, which is a great title. Her vivid description of it is even better. 

Says the British singer/songwriter (via Stereogum): 

‘Dropping cherries is such a strong, visceral image that I tried to channel throughout recording in Somerset and Wales, to capture the vibrancy, unpredictability, and occasional chaos one experiences within a relationship […] Imagine stamping blood-red cherries onto a clean, cream carpet and tell me that’s not how love feels.’ 

Billie Marten’s Drop Cherries is out April 7 via A Fiction.

hakoda: you need to stay here and protect your sister

13 year old sokka, whose only point of reference for "protecting his sister" is literally his mother sacrificing herself in katara's place: ok 😃

I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker.

Not all who wander are lost. Some who wander, however, are extremely, extremely lost.

reading steddie friends with benefits fics is so funny to me. not the trope, just bc of steve. that boy cannot do casual to save his life. eddie touches his ass one time and he's planning their wedding.

getting emotional over footage of an amateur scuba diver interacting with a coelacanth. they are hunted by large deepwater predators, and here comes a large creature bearing the brightest lights it's ever seen, making strange noises, but it does not shy away. it hovers, calmly, as the diver reaches out and trails a hand down its back. im strongly against the anthropomorphizing of real life animals but the stupid emotional part of me loudly insists this is because it recognizes us, the alternating movements of its four paired limbs matching the diver's four paired limbs, & it is thinking, "hello, cousins, we missed you these 66 million years, it's so good to see you again. welcome back, welcome home."
