A little messy painting of julien to relax this afternoon. I've since cleaned it up and it's now available for all the sad little people in my phone to buy on either inprnt or gumroad <3
(I can never decide on a version so yay there’s two of them!)
god i get so emotional every time i see a video of jb performing live and hear a bunch people in the background singing softly along with her. like fuck those songs are so raw and come from such a personal and lonely place, and the fact that there’s a room full of people there too and with her, like i see you, and you see me— it’s just so crazy beautiful. i love humans. i’m crying.
little oblivions is the album, the only album ever actually, it and b-sides fuck so hard and are so under appreciated in the boygenius canon, like
oh, I miss when I was certain // about every little thing // so scared of forgetting // that I put it down in ink // used to call upon the spirit // now I think heaven lets it ring // wanted so bad to be good // but there's no such thing
or
swallow the truth // force the charcoal down my throat // when i finally come to // maybe i’ll have something to show
or
all my greatest fears turned out to be the gift of prophecy // all my nightmares coming true come do my outline in the street // while every night i re-enact the same recurring dream // i’m stuck inside a vision that repeats
or
how come it's so much easier // with anything less than human? // letting yourself be tender // well, you couldn't make me do it // it doesn't feel too bad, but it // doesn't feel too good, either // just like a nicotine patch, it // hardly works, then it's over
or
oh, i miss it high // how it dulled the terror and the beauty // now i see everything in startling intensity
i am not exaggerating when i say this album saved my life, it deserves so much more respect
I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING AND MAYBE I’M DUMB FOR NOT REALIZING SOONER, BUT ANTI CURSE IS RELATED TO STAY DOWN. SHE QUITE LITERALLY DOESN’T STAY DOWN. SHE SWIMS BACK BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE TO MAKE IT BAD JUST ‘CAUSE YOU KNOW HOW. i’m crying.
