i think one of the worst things about abandonment issues is that you spend your life in a constant cycle of expecting someone to leave, consequently doing shit that’ll make them leave, and then affirming to yourself that they were gonna leave the whole time because of who you are as a person

‘Midsummer night’s dream’ “Every year, on the Midsummer Night, Magdalena came alone to the river, in a place where a few years ago the fragments of clothes of her beloved Johan, were found. That night, he disappeared without a trace. She still has hope that maybe someday she would meet him there. Johan always observes her from a distance, afraid to show her his true nature… He still loves her but knows that they can not be together… ” Work process: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8elzGx

‘The Ghetto Tarot’: Haitian artists transform classic tarot deck into stunning real life scenes:

Welcome to the Ghetto Tarot, a project from award-winning documentary photographer Alice Smeets and a group of Haitian artists known as Atis Rezistans. The idea was to take the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck of 78 cards and create a photographic version of each card using settings and objects in the vibrant ghetto of Haiti.

As Smeets says, “The spirit of the Ghetto Tarot project is the inspiration to turn negative into positive while playing. The group of artists ‘Atiz Rezistans’ use trash to create art with their own visions that are a reflection of the beauty they see hidden within the waste. They are claiming the word ‘Ghetto,’ thus freeing themselves of its depreciating undertone and turning it into something beautiful.”

I was gonna say, anyone who thinks ‘we three kings’ is meh has clearly not heard the bit about ‘sorrowing sighing bleeding dying’ sung by men with extremely deep voices.

christmas hymns, rated.

carol of the bells: ₘₑᵣᵣᵧᴍᴇʀʀʏᵐᵉʳʳʸchristmasₘₑᵣᵣᵧᴍᴇʀʀʏᵐᵉʳʳʸchristmas. creepy as shit and loving every moment of it. perfect for holiday-themed vampire lurking outside the gothic cathedral of your choice. just enough of a frantic tone to keep you on your toes. and sung with a child choir? you’ve knocked it outta the park, bud. 10/10.

hark, the herald angels sing!: not the best. a bit dry. can lose you if you’re not paying attention. points for being easy for kiddies to sing at church though! we froth accessibility. 5/10.

good king wencelas: thin 👏 and 👏 crisp 👏 and 👏 even 👏 6/10.

o come, all ye faithful/adeste fideles: sex symbol. inventor of the crescendo. the absolute vibes this thing has are haunting, especially under and good church roof. smack an over confident leading tenor in the mix and you have a winner. 10/10.

ding dong! merrily on high: makes me feel like i’m a young peasant girl running through the streets of a quaint european village in the wintertime with no cares save what father christmas shall deliver to my stocking this eve. would definitely ₒₒᴼooᴼᴼᴼᵒᵒᵒᵒᵒᴼᴼₒₒₒₒₒoooₒₒʰᵒˢᵃⁿⁿᵃ ᶦⁿ ᵉˣᶜᵉˡˢᶦˢ again. 9/10.

o holy night: the shift from relatively normal sounding verses to 𝖋𝖆𝖑𝖑 𝖔𝖓 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖐𝖓𝖊𝖊𝖘, 𝖔𝖍 𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖗 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖑 𝖛𝖔𝖎𝖈𝖊𝖘 will never fail to shatter me like glass. 11/10

away in a manger: like hark, the herald angels sing! this one is pretty simple. easy for the whole family to sing which makes it an ideal church song! but lacks energy. a good wind down, but that’s about it. 5/10.

we three kings of orient: i always thought the “three kings” were sorta stupid and unnecessary. like, the shepherds i understand, but three randos from “the east”? seems shoehorned in honestly. kinda feels like whichever apostle (matthew?) wrote that in somehow knew that, years in the future, groups of unenthusiastic children were gonna have to be assigned roles in nativity plays and added three more possible characters just to stop half the kids from having to play sheep and grass so they could be “included”. cheers matt. song is okay i guess. 6/10.

once in royal david’s city: pretty inconsequential hymn, but the Choir of King’s College Cambridge do an arrangement that makes me believe in God for approx. four and a half minutes every time I listen to it. 8.5/10, bonus points for the king’s col. boys. ur doing so good lads. big love.

the first noël: a true banger and a great song to sing in church because there’s always some lady in the front pews who tries really hard to do all those killer soprano parts by herself. absolutely magical when sung right and absolutely magical when sung wrong. 10/10.

Sorry driscolii, the Greeks beat you to it and they got even dirtier with it. 

Unless you’re from the right angle, you can’t even tell the minotaur has a bull’s head, not to mention the shape and position of that club, the arched hips and, dear lord, the hand on the knee...?

Come on founder/king of Athens, aren’t u gonna slay the Bull of Minos or not?

Poems stirred into paper coffee-cups, eaten with petals on rye in the sun--the cold shadows in back, and the traffic grinding the borders of spring.
