3, 5, 97?

3: Come Home With Me from Hadestown

Wherein our hero comes on too strong and is too certain to realize why everyone is embarrassed for him, but also endeared by the whole thing.

5: Any Way The Wind Blows from Hadestown

Wherein our Heroine talks about the weather, and also dumps some world-building exposition.

97: Papers - Instrumental from, shocker, Hadestown

In which our hero gets in a bind, and a lot of things happen on stage during a 100% instrumental chunk of the show. I don’t know what happened because I’m too poor to see musicals.

send me a number between 1 and 100 and i’ll tell u what that song is on my playlist

2 - answered!

9: a quote that you would consider getting tattooed or putting in a frame

hmm, i’m not sure, i tend to like image tattoos a lot more than word/quote tattoos. the shape of the letters is almost more important than the words themselves... but i’d consider getting one of corita kent’s pieces tattooed, like the big g stands for goodness.

24: describe the most wacky, weird and wonderful at-home outfit you’ve put together

you’d expect me to be in full 1970s witch mode in quarantine but more often than not, i’m wearing adidas trackies and a sweater or plaid pajama pants with one of my girlfriend’s flannels

Campus work studies must be wild

You work in the college bookstore. You dread the times when people come in five minutes before closing just to browse around, but even more you dread when the collection of stale air and distant echoes comes in to rifle through the shelves. Afterwards, you notice that everything is hanging backwards, and the tshirts need to be refolded. It’s a regular visitor, irregular customer, and though you try not to you can still remember the time you had to ring up Its purchase (a baseball cap and a commemorative mug from the 85% off table).

Last month your manager went into the back room. She hasn’t come back yet, but when you call out to ask if she’s alright she always yells back a reply. It’s a little too distant, though, a little cheery. It sounds less and less like her. No one wants to work the evening shifts anymore.

Is it just me or do the display mannequins look a little too… alive?

No one wants to tell Them to stop shoplifting from the candy section. They’re not even subtle about it, like jfc guys at least quit shoving the wrappers under the yoga mats. (Their favorite candy is Reese’s. Don’t ask me why. Definitely don’t ask me what happens when we run out.)

(I wrote this while working my shift at my own college bookstore, so please excuse any typos. I hope you like it!!)

I did my own stint in my own campus bookstore and this rings Too True

TEMPERANCE:

Not everything is terrible and isn’t that nice to know? In a year of trials and tribulations in a constantly tumultuous society, you found growth. You’ve expanded your ideas. Further defined your morals. You have found techniques to help you find mindfulness and healing. The cards are pretty darn proud of you.

THE DEVIL:

But that doesn’t mean you are without wants and desires. There is an inner storm of thoughts and anxieties that, even when eased, doesn’t go away. You want it to calm for longer. For more often. And, beyond that, there’s some things that feel like they’re missing. Old passions, being charmed with life, spontaneity. You want to seek those out again, but where to start? Sometimes we drop bits of the self to work on preservation and survival, but how do you gain those things back after the surviving?

ACE OF SWORDS: We don’t talk enough about the fatigue of survival. There’s often an association of triumph, success, and of completion with the idea of “survived”; sometimes people don’t realize that you have to survive again and again and again. It can wear you down to the point that even if you do have a burst of energy you don’t know what to do with it. It can make it hard to rejoice in your successes, or to fight for your own ideas. 

SIX OF SWORDS: 

I’m sorry I don’t have better advice than this; but do it anyway. It can be so tiring, but allow yourself permission to have an after to surviving. Celebrate! Revel! Even if it was just for a year, a week, a day--you did it. You survived. You’re surviving. Don’t devalue that, don’t think to yourself ‘I could have done better’, because if you do you’ll just imprison yourself in that storm of anxiety. It’ll make finding peace and passion so much harder. So give yourself understanding. Look at what you had stacked against you and know that whatever ‘could have done better’ means, it doesn’t apply here.
