IX - The Hermit

Aaron/Hermit/Marco. Sexuality: probably gr/ace. Pronouns: whatever. I sing under the stage name Marco Aziel. This blog is basically indiscriminant.

it’s literally good for the soul to write shitty poetry and never show it to anyone

[the-thrill-be-damned-deactivate]

today in “things i’m disproportionately emotional about”:

it’s facial reconstructions of prehistoric humans!!

like, look at this part-homo sapiens, part-neandertal man from well over 30,000 years ago:

doesn’t he just look like a dude you’d wanna hang out with? like he probably washes dishes in the kitchen with you, and has excellent weed

what a charming fellow. what stories he probably has to tell. i’d definitely go shoot the shit with him on Contemplation Rock after i’d finished my day’s work carving a bone flute for the autumn hunting ceremony, or whatever

people have been people ever since people first became people, i tell you what

they all had lives and histories and families and friends and dumb gossip and games they played and total bullshit in which they believed wholeheartedly

they all argued about the nature of the world, and of themselves

they all sang songs

they all drew pictures

they all buried their dead in graves, and they buried their dead in graves well before they did a lot of that other stuff. they buried their dead with flowers, with panther claws, with the bones of animals they’d killed, with the bones of family members who had died at the same time or earlier. they buried their dead with their arms folded across their chests

they fell in love

they took care of their old and their sick and their disabled, even when it cost them

they made new things, and worried about what the new things meant for people everywhere, as a whole

Oh I like him he looks like he would appreciate my jokes

[systlin]

This dude would have great stories at a get-together and would bring some really great homemade dip.

I feel like he really digs Lo-Fi Music

This guy was sculpted by Alfons and Adrie Kennis, and their Neanderthal reconstructions are all delightful. 

I love the kid in the last picture a lot- they look like a kid, just a little kid who’s done some mischief and is trying not to laugh about it.

I also adore their Lucy- they’ve struck a wonderful balance between the falling angel and the rising ape.

And their Turkana boy- there’s something precious and wistful in those eyes. 

But my favorite has got to be their reconstruction of H. floresiensis.

Just look at her. That’s a face of someone who’s lived and seen a lot, but also a face that’s known love and joy and laughter. That’s a face with a soul.

They are all beautiful

What an amazing work, Kennis & Kennis!

yoooo your music is really good! do you think you'll be putting anymore on spotify???

My Spotify people didn't respond when I submitted my 2017 album to them, I've been avoiding calling them to see if they still exist all year. It's all on Bandcamp though! Marcoaziel.bandcamp.com. It's pretty fair to expect a new album next March as well!

If you ever feel like you’ve fucked up just remember that Ireland accidentally legalized crystal meth

If you ever feel like you’ve fucked up just remember America knowingly voted in a fascist to lead them

what some people think lack of empathy leads to: murder

what it actually leads to: mainly confusion with a bit of ‘shit what do i do’ and ‘i can’t relate in the slightest’ sprinkled over it.
