it’s been a long work week. I’m tired, my meds are fucking with my stomach, I’m a little depressed.
I linked Bentham’s Head earlier and now I think I’m gonna go on an ask a mortician re-watch (re-listen) while I work today.
In case anyone else wants to also go on your own little binge, some of my faves:
-The Forgotten Disaster of the SS Eastland
-Why JFK’s Casket Stayed Closed
-The Foreskin Wedding Ring of St Catherine
-honestly all of the Iconic Corpse series
-also The Middle Ages Were Magic
She also really delicately handles dying fat, protecting trans bodies in death, she discusses in several videos how traditions around death are very different for a lot of cultures and communities and maybe sit down and think for a second before you spout off something racist. Her video on Goonew is the first one that comes to mind but she has a lot of them.
Anyway I love Caitlin Doughty and she makes me feel better and her videos are fun. They do handle death (obvs) so they’re heavy, too, sometimes, but. She helps with my existential death anxiety.

🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
- @ruby-dragon
I actually can't listen to music when I write usually! I like, physically need to sing whatever I'm listening to, I can't just passively listen lol. so I end up writing the words to the song or writing the wrong word, plus it makes it hard to focus on whatever the plot I'm going for is. if I need background noise though, I'll usually just throw on a movie or show I've already seen.
but I'd say on loop, literally for the last few months, is just Ethel Cain's whole album Preacher's Daughter. the hold it has on me.... IT'S JUST SO GOOD. I think she's a genius.

fionna's world being represented by a dandelion makes so much sense ... they're weeds. yet people make wishes through them, changing their whole meaning from something meant to be destroyed to something hopeful.
dandelions are also resilient and it makes sense that something associated with them would. you know. perservere despite the destruction caused by the scarab.
but ultimately i think what REALLY made me tear up over this is that dandelions are really boring plants. when you're a kid you blow on them and make your wish but they're not eyecatching or anything but still, fionna's final wish was for her old world to still exist as it was when she left it (> plain and simple. boring even).
like the moment she realized she would lose her friends, and that her friends might forget each other if the world got its magic back, she immediately decided she didn't want it and I think that ties back to the dandelion metaphor so well... like, do you really need magic to be real to find it everywhere? or can you turn something boring into something magical?
