I got stuck on the ending of the thing I mentioned writing forever ago, so I decided to write a sequel to 'We Got Tonight.' I think I'm gonna make into a series but idk. I just think the storyline has a lot of potential

from eden was beyond perfect 😍😍😍

this is probably so old, but thank you <3

[moscowjackboot]

It’s been a very long time but I am writing something, and it’s very embarrassing to type every single bit of dialogue so maybe that means it’ll be decent

Hi there! I remember reading a fic about Andrew's interview with Tommy Tiernan and his partner was mad that he sang when he was sick. I can't seem to find it anywhere, any thoughts? Thanks!

I thought I had that one in my likes but I cannae find it, but I remember it.

Another one to throw to the public - anyone write or know who wrote this?

[thatsthekindoflove]

Oh I think this might be mine

I haven't looked back on my writing in a while, so just a warning for possible (no, definite) cringe writing and terrible characterization.

With all that is going on there’s something that I‘d like to address. Every time a cis white dude gets cancelled some people like to react with „at least we still have Hozier“. Stop that. You’re speaking over an important conversation. Let the victim‘s story be told and let people learn from it. The realisation that another white dude is bad doesn’t mean you have to praise the one you like for merely existing. Hozier’s image is not what is important here. He‘s human and can make a mistake and be next, you don’t know him. And if this kind of comment offends you, take a deep look at yourself and feel free to unfollow.

Hozier: *releases music about death/nature and wanting to buried with his lover*

Y'all: omg funky bog man

Hozier: actually I'm influenced by black artists from jazz, rock, rnb, and soul/gospel. I have a whole song where I incorporate song titles from jazz music. I have collaborated with Mavis Staples and that track is named for Nina Simone.

Y'all: bog fairie fae!!

Hozier: oh also here's a black lives matter post bc i would literally not be making music without black people. I've also been to some protests about abortion and I support lgbt rights

Y'all: omg woke king he cares about the lgbt community and women's issues!!

[wondersmith-and-sons]

full offense but hozier did not release several songs saying “fuck cops, fuck capitalism, fuck fascism, fuck settler colonialism, white liberalism is useless, and also FUCK COPS” to be reduced to colonial cottagecore aesthetic by white women and be compared someone who uses tepid high school metaphors to talk about the Democrats like jfc

[wondersmith-and-sons]

the problem here isn’t a white woman releasing a cottagecore album and being compared to hozier, it’s how hozier’s previous work and political messages that were specifically written to be about non-white and/or non-Western communities are ignored in favour of what white audiences can consume. Jackboot Jump was about state violence, and it specifically draws attention to non-American events when most artists would refuse to even acknowledge it. Foreigners God and Run are about Irish colonialism by the English. Be is about inhumane immigration conditions. Nina Cried Power was a long tribute to historical activists and Black artists. these are absolutely definitive as part of that canon of work, but they are ultimately ignored in favour of songs that can be pitch-shifted to create a ~wlw love song~

this is obviously a larger issue than swift vs hozier, but it is emblematic of how white audiences consume and, in turn, ignore media that makes them uncomfortable or challenges their paradigms of systemic privilege. the problem is that when creators of colour make political narratives about ourselves, we are ignored; when white creators take time to include radical political narratives about BIPOC, they are are cherry-picked or overlooked for more sanitary messages. white audiences reduce hozier’s music to “forest king fae wizard” because it’s more comfortable to consume, and because it’s easier to draw similarities to another white artist than acknowledge the sheer depth of influence that Black artists have had.

would you ever write smut for andrew?

I don’t see it happening anytime soon. I don’t think I’d be good at it, and I’d feel weird like like that about a real person
