#In League With Dragons

[kaboomthepossum]

Suddenly you are transported to a mystical realm and told you are the hero, destined to save it

You can choose one animal sidekick (or group of sidekicks if they are a group) from a TMG song

You must decide

The world depends on it

I think me and my brother understand The Mountain Goats the most of anyone.

A vision of a Mountain Goats EP I had while talking with my brother:

In League with Dragons: The Wizard’s Renaissance

Pitch Fork’s summary:

A rare addendum to a previous album after the fact, John Darnielle explored the rich lives of a community rather related to the original’s D&D community: The Renaissance Faire scene. Though shorter and drawing on previous works, the tracks still resonate to amplify the feelings of the original, we personally recommend you listen to ILwD and then immediately follow it up with this fantastic new EP

9.3/10

Track List:

In Service of the Queen

When the Mug Runs Dry

Wizard King 2

Like Coins within his Lair

In Defense of the Lone Bard

Sir Gallant and his Steed

Exert from Sir Gallant and his Steed:

You would run with me everyday if we could afford it

But we were both born too late for anyone to really reward it

They’ll have me holding my helmet for tips

they’ll have you wear a unicorn horn for kids

But just remember I’m the only one you’ll let make you wear it

And when the faire closes up for the day, I’ll feed you apples and carrots

I’ll feed you apples and carrots!

*guitar solo*

I’ll feed you apples and carrots!

*this is repeated a few times and at concerts the crowd shouts*

Hi there! Here are my submissions for the TMG ask game:

- Possum by Night

- Choked Out

- In league with dragons

Thank you for your time and consideration :D

Of course! I’m having so much fun. This is gonna be a long post so strap in.

possum by night: I don’t really listen to in league with dragons so this will be fun.

Grow fat and grow old and grow blind and be content

The delivery!!! All of these things at once. I want my body to fall into disrepair and I will be happy in having lived my life well. Makes me feel all warm inside to think of this poor possum, who many might see as the lowest of the low, a scavenger, having a nice long life and the gift of being fat and old and blind and happy.

choked out: in which we are wrestling again. Its vicious, baby. It’s getting real. I love the line that everyone cites from this song (everybody’s got their limits / nobody’s found mine) but it’s not my favourite line.

Kick and claw and scratch and bite

Fire up the grill, everybody eats tonight

I love the rhythm in this part but I’m also always partial to a little metaphor. There will be blood and there will be meat and I’m gonna fuckin eat this guy bro. Everyone’s gonna share in this victory and this guy’s gonna be fuckin TOAST. Delicious.

in league with dragons: now I just said I don’t listen to this album much but I REALLY like this song so this is gonna be a long one. Okay. Look. Its such a jaunty tune.

Its so hard to get revenge

The human element drags you down

It IS so hard to get revenge. Revenge is the fantasy genre mission: slay the dragon, save the princess, achieve freedom and prosperity happily ever after. Specifically, spite the evil witches who condemned you to a life without such things. But our protagonist is not a fantasy archetype, he’s more of a real guy. He’s weary and this whole revenge this is a lot of work! The tongue in cheek delivery really gets me. I can picture this guy at a tavern talking to some brand new friends over tankards of mead goin “yeah man, this whole revenge thing is exhausting, right?”

But it’s also, at heart, very human to want revenge, and yet struggle to go through with it. I know for me personally, there are a lot of people in my life I don’t wish well, but the idea of actually causing them any suffering is hard to consider because of empathy. I can’t help but see my suffering in that I might wish to other people, so it’s hard to go through with it.

Of course, it’s rare to have cut and dry villains in real life, but there are people we want to hurt back for hurting us, or maybe boundaries we want to set for the sake of not being hurt anymore. and oftentimes, for me, that kind of justice is hard to achieve because I get too soft with my boundaries. I think too much about other people’s feelings rather than my own.
