remember when gansey was on the verge of a breakdown because he was beginning to realize that the world isn’t actually a good place and is really full of a bunch of dark shit and so adam distracted him with school bs so there would be one person who still thinks that the world is a good and magical place to live in

#honestly………adam’s affection for gansey is so precious………..like………..#sometimes he feels like he hates him but he’s aware it’s not actually gansey he hates…….#it’s gansey’s blind spots and thoughtless privilege that he’s still working on seeing#gansey himself is so earnestly generous and selflessly passionate about beauty and magic#and so heartbreakingly grown up but still v much a child#and adam….loves his best friend y'all. he loves him.#this brilliant kid who stubbornly sees the best parts of people and brings out the good in them#who sees the best parts of adam#and gansey’s friendship gives adam the space and the safety to be(come) the person he wants to be#and adam jUST wants to protect him???#gansey thinks he’s a Worldly Adult but he’s really not….he’s still v innocent#he’s had horrible things happen to him but he’s kept that childlike curiosity and wonder and ADAM WISHES HE COULD BE THAT WAY#so he tries his darnedest to shield gansey from the cynicism and jadedness he himself is so familiar with#he gets angry with gansey when he is inexcusably thoughtless about other people’s experiences#but he doesnt want him to lose his faith in the goodness of people#adam is jealous of gansey’s innocence and effortless love!! but he loves gansey for being that way!!#and to nuance op’s point a bit; in that moment gansey wasnt just realizing the world is a dark place#he knows that to some extent#he was realizing the darkness in himself#he was distressed to find that k’s death DIDNT distress him#and he was upset to find he was the sort of person that would ever be glad that someone else was dead#and adam (who was not at all sorry that k was dead) was glad that that upset gansey#he knows that the fact that gansey was upset at his own indifference/satisfaction in someone else’s death#actually says more about gansey than that indifference/satisfaction#but he also knows gansey well enough to know that that wouldn’t comfort him#so he distracted him rather than trying to point that out#anyways. they’re good for each other when adam lets himself relax and gansey stops trying to be Perfect. i love my dumb nerd sons (via @thisbrilliantsky)

Tumblr used to be so easy, so simple.

What happened when did we stray so far from the light of god

Nobody reblogs anymore. The posts used to float along on a current of sharing, each reblog bringing it to multiple fresh eyes.

But now those eyes do not reblog, they do not share. They let posts dies, a simple like marking its grave where they stopped it.

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.

I know this is a funny post but

There are a few major points in Country Music’s history that got the entire genre labeled as ‘annoying’

  • Post 9/11 nationalism
  • A term that I couldn’t make up “Bro-Country” which intensifies themes of booze, objectifying women, and partying that were present in past decades but not to such an extent
  • This is Gospel Music But With an Accent

Now looking at the songs op listed there is

  • A woman pleading to another woman
  • A woman wrecking a shitheads life
  • A guy loving the scenery of where he lived
  • A song that could easily be mistaken for a number of other genres

But it is easier to say that one hates country while privately enjoying select songs than explain why one doesn’t like the current market oversaturated with our nation’s problems of nationalism, sexism, and so on

see also jhonny cash/willie nelson era songs which were deeply emotional stories often about painful and deep subjects. prison, loss of loved ones, hard labor, facing despair, passion. ‘ghost riders in the sky’ and the like are also deeply satisfying as they bridge more into folklore then ‘murica fuck yeah im sponsored by bud light yall’ another example- ‘midnight in montgomery’ where hank williams junior sings about the ghost of his father

“ … And felt the wind die down, And a drunk man in a cowboy hat, Took me by surprise, Wearin’ shiny boots, a nudie suit, and haunted, haunted eyes, He said: “Friend, it’s good to see you, It’s nice to know you care” Then the wind picked up and he was gone, Was he ever really there? ‘Cause when the wind is right, You’ll hear his song, Smell whisky in the air, Midnight in Montgomery, He’s always singin’ there, “ the reason we ‘hate country’ is because we know its supposed to have FEELING and its infuriatingly absent now

70s country - bluegrass traditional

80s country - power ballads

90s country - pop crossover

00s country - white supremacy

it’s about the folkloric story-telling tradition of oppressed poor folks vs marketable capitalistic ass-kissing.

Yes. So much yes. See Dolly Parton and Wille Nelson and Johnny Cash sing about something real and they mean it and they are amazing. Modern country with some rare exceptions doesn’t start with something meaningful to say, it analyzes the market trends to figures out what will sell and then they do that. That or it just plain caters to white nationalists.

But there’s some damn good country out there. It’s just crowded out by utter garbage written and performed by sell-outs.

constructive criticism, i think "when happily ever after is nevermore" would be better, especially if you were some sort of talking crow

obsessed with villains who you just KNOW are aware deep down in their heart that they've done something unforgivable, but the only way to never admit that or face the guilt is to keep doing it over and over again until they don't feel guilty about that first time anymore
