does a scorpion sting when fighting back?

they strike to kill; and you know i will

You are allowed to enjoy anything you want. Like 2000’s pop? Go ahead. Like drawing, writing, creating? That’s cool too. Never shame anyone out of what they like.

to anyone out there who’s struggling with having no friends — wondering where you belong in this world, searching for a place to belong — you matter. you are so important. and you will find your people or maybe just a special person who feels like home. it may seem like your loneliness will last forever, but it won’t. it never does.

In isolation my imagination has run wild and this album is the result, a collection of songs and stories that flowed like a stream of consciousness. Picking up a pen was my way of escaping into fantasy, history, and memory. I’ve told these stories to the best of my ability with all the love, wonder, and whimsy they deserve. Now it’s up to you to pass them down. folklore is out now.

“Most of the things I had planned this summer didn’t end up happening, but there is something I hadn’t planned on that DID happen. And that thing is my 8th studio album, folklore. I wrote and recorded this music in isolation but got to collaborate with some musical heroes of mine.”

vampire. a fanged being from folklore that subsists by feeding on the vital force of the living. they are undead, revived after death, and many are said to rise nightly from their graves to prey upon humans by consuming their blood.

The Irritating Gentleman - Berthold Woltze

1874

[gonegrls]

why does this communicate the universal mood we women experience so perfectly

[foxy-voxy]

This is doubly annoying because she’s clearly in mourning; look at her clothes. those are mourning clothes. The way she clutches her handkerchief. The wetness of her eyes. She’s not a lark to the seaside, she’s traveling to or from a funeral. And this dandy fuckboy can’t look beyond his own nose and have some fucking respect.

[jeanjauthor]

This is why I support artists.  You can tell a story without any words at all.  You don’t even need to title this piece “The Irritating Gentleman” and yet most 21st Century women will know exactly what this 19th Century woman endured on the day of that painting.
