whatever

hozier’s little side quest narrations in between songs are so important to me. saw him (live !!! first time ever !!!!) today spend a solid three minutes going “i’ve just seen the most amazing bootleg hozier tshirt. if i could sell it without getting in loads of trouble i would. if i could WEAR it without getting in trouble i would. it says HOZIER and then it just has pictures of faramir from lord of the rings. oh no— oh i’m sorry, it’s a higher honor, it’s aragorn. and you have— is that boromir? and who’s that, that’s— that’s your fella from the princess bride” about a group of 3 people who had aragorn, boromir, and inigo montoya respectively on their “bootleg hozier” shirts. king.

i love when i am drinking water and some of it spills on my shirt and i dont really react.. i dont give a fuck anymore to be real with U

The production of Swan Upon Leda is fucking crazy. Do you guys remember when it came out and people said it didnt go hard enough?????? Girl. The artistic stroke of genius to do the whole song in a very gentle murmur thats barely enough to carry a tune and then backing vocals of hozier performing the same song at full volume just fucking screaming and wailing but turned way down low so theyre the same volume as him doing it as a lullaby?????? I love hozier live as much as the next person but thats a truly inspired move

I have weekly mental breakdowns to that song. What do you mean people think it doesn't go hard enough ?!?!?

"HOT VIKING GUYS ARE WAITING TO MEET CHASTE ENGLISH LADIES IN YOUR AREA"

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.

they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.

i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP. so many comments saying “blocking x celebrity was hard until i remembered they don’t care if i die. it got a lot easier then. they aren’t my friends, why should i feel like im betraying them?” what a beautiful thing to see

does this not fill you with immense pride and joy

oh my god it was canonical that both alana and hannibal were both thinking about will while having sex??????? i thought yall were just being funny?????? these people….

i'm not a doctor or a nutritionist, but sometimes i hear women talking about their diets and it takes all i have to not be like "this is not normal. you have an eating disorder and you are in a cult."

How did I not know that Hozier with a puppy was exactly what I needed today? I'm sharing, because maybe it's what you need, too!

characters that claim they have no heart but actually possess the greatest capacity to love but just never had the chance to give or receive it make me feral

Okay I finished rewatching Hannibal finally and to this day, however many years it’s been since 2015 I still think them not making out sloppy style like was the single smartest decision anyone made on that show because they literally had them do the thing apex predators do as the animal equivalent of “kissing” its mate instead!! That element is so deeply baller to me on so many levels I can’t even

"hozier did not write *insert song here* for you to call him the take me to church guy"

no but he IS the take me to church guy !!! have you seen the way he performs that song? at like every show, with so much PASSION every time ?? take me to church is political, it criticises the catholic church, it's angry at the harm done to his people and others, he has done advocacy with this song, it's about devotion and love and sex and humanity. he is very much the take me to church guy

You know, it's rather interesting to me that Taylor Swift's parasocial relationship with her fans is honestly more akin to a YouTuber than a writer's. When I scroll through her tag on tumblr/Twitter, it's far more regarding the connection to her personal life/relationship developments than the actual metaphors/fictional story she might be telling. Everything comes back to how her songs reflect back on her relationships with Joe/Matty/Travis/Jake/insert ex-boyfriend here. And what fascinates me about it is that even though she complains about it, she leans into that very perception because it strengthens the parasocial bond.

The marketing for TTPD so clearly being about Joe Alwyn and the songs to Matty Healy. The marketing/video for Red TV so CLEARLY being about Jake Gyllenhaal, with so many of the new lines in All Too Well specifically being digs at him (I'll get older but your lovers stay my age, casting an actor that looks like him for the video, specific lines in I Bet You Think About Me). The fact that songs like Getaway Car and Bejeweled and Gorgeous and London Boy and Lavender Haze being picked apart at time of release and long after for signs of relationships crumbling. The way she uses surprise songs in relation to her relationship development with Joe/Matty/Travis. The damn TTPD "stages of grief" playlists where she deliberately undid/changed the meanings of old songs just to keep her audience speculating on her love life.

It's not sexist to point out that her wielding her love life is a marketing tool and that the strongest connection to her audience isn't the strength of her writing/the composition of her music- it's her deliberate crafting of a connection between her music and her personal life, leaving the audience invested in her music as an extension of Taylor the Person/Girlfriend rather than Taylor the Artist.

"too sweet is clearly about hades and persephone" shut up shut up shut UP SHUT UP.

Too Sweet is literally his most straight forward song to date. Not every hozier song has to be about greek mythology. Let this man just speak his mind without mindgames for ONCE.

more rings anatomical edition

Everytime i think of the future i nearly throw up

I don't know why, but I find it even more comforting to look at it this way:

So long as you keep moo-ving forward
