John Darnielle really had something all those times he wrote about the sorrow of beong a strange and monstrous creature simultaneously in love with and terrified of the beauty of the world beyond them.

#how to embrace a swamp creature #new monster avenue #emerging #maize stalk drinking blood #and perhaps most importantly the entirety of Wolf in White Van

This is an empty country And I am the king, and I should not Be allowed to touch anything

we talk a lot about “escaping the narrative,” but keep in mind that the frightening thing about escape is the chance you might end up someplace worse.

#hello. i have been listening to Maize Stalk Drinking Blood for like an hour now #you could ask me about how it’s about ~10 different brbabcs characters - but i wouldn’t tell you because i am Shy ✌🏻 #it Is tho :)) #ANYWAYS #that’s a Ravenous 1999 quote for those who don’t know #but inspired by my currently line of thinking which is that for SOME of the brbabcs characters - there was never any better alternative #not that there wasn’t morally or logically but they quite literally COULDN’T have done anything else than what they did #not because The Narrative Is Controlling Them or whatever - but because they are Fucked In The Head #we might see potential ‘better endings’ for them #but those were completely unattainable bc making any choices other than the terrible ones they made would have killed them anyway #because they couldn’t have stood for it #which is what makes it such an excellent tragedy #also to any moralistic weirdos out there: this isn’t me morally justifying anyone - this is me going :(( #learn the difference and embrace the Tragic Narrative <33

i feel like u could tell a lot about a person from what mountain goats songs are the saddest to them

#belgian things is up there for sure for me #and like. is maize stalk drinking blood the saddest goats song? probably not. does it make me feel like i sunk deep into the earth and i #can't breathe down there? it does.

PIXLRIFFS

I am going to go with esmp1 pix for this because he's the one I'm most familiar with. joke answer:

haha get it because candles. but also honestly this could probably genuinely work in some ways!

more serious answers, because I have two and I can't decide between them:

"I let the sky fall / this is an empty country and I am the king / and I should not be allowed to touch anything" - I feel like this one is . pretty self explanatory lmao

"it will be too late by the time we learn / what these cryptic symbols mean" - themes of knowing what's coming and being unable to change it. also I just have a particular fondness for this song

#ask #.lyr #sorry i got distracted reading through the wiki pages for tlotwtc. anyway

ok take 2 I've calmed down

what I really love about early to mid mountain goats is johns consistent observance of nature, so many of his songs are rooted in the environment around him, calling out plant and animal species by name and they're central to the story

I've been thinking about maize stalk drinking blood and in Corolla the last couple days specifically but all of full force Galesburg and get lonely kind of have that same vibe where its just as much about the narrator's relationship to environment as it is his relationship to himself. Thoughts.
