A subgenre of the blues I really like is the ‘woman, you done me wrong’ song. I don’t know whether all these bad things could really have happened to all these blues players. It does seem that there are an awful lot of wrongdoing women out there. I suspect there might be a few wrongdoing men too!
...
I was plugging into that system of imagery when I wrote, ‘I met her at the bottom of a well’. I thought that was a more interesting image than, say, ‘I met her on Bourbon Street’ or ‘I met her in a brothel in Paris’. I like to be direct but not necessarily literal.
Paul talking about Oh Woman, Oh Why in The Lyrics (emphasis mine)

I'd somehow missed "I Lie Around" in my first run-through of Paul's discography, but, boy, that one's very Ram, isn't it? And probably belongs in any discussion of what Ram's songs have to say about Paul's state of mind at the time, even though it wasn't released until a couple of years later.
I mean:
It seems that I have no choice in the matter Roll along wheel of fortune As you roll along I stick around Furthermore in the country I will lay my burden down
and
Too long have I been the heart of the matter All along I was only over-tired and overtaken
and
So long, bye bye, it was fun while it mattered (One can only imagine John's response to that.)
And if Ram itself has an undertone of "I don't need you anymore, I have Linda, and she's GREAT", then having Denny sing on this takes it up a notch: "now I have Linda AND new friends and bandmates, and we're having loads of fun together!!!" (see: the silly intro and outro bits).
The lyrics are a little clunky, but it's one of those cases where I can't decide if he was just stoned and too lazy to polish them up or if he's purposefully being slightly obscure. All the "furthermore"s sound like someone who's been reading a lot of legal paperwork. And I wonder if 'I lie around' is just meant literally or if it's about the fact that they were all spinning press narratives in 1970 and probably not always being incredibly truthful about them. I know Paul said later that he hated doing interviews in the early 70s because people would ask him if he was happy and he'd have to lie.
Anyway, that was a fun little song to discover, and another of Paul’s disgustingly catchy b-sides and throwaways.

You know that theory where Niffty is a former overlord who Alastor chose to brainfuck instead of killing for whatever reason?
Someone make an AU/fic where he does that to Vox

back in the Superwholock days there was this post getting passed around my corner of tumblr about "teflon writing vs velcro writing," ostensibly as a nutshell summary of why fandom reacted so differently to Steven Moffat and Russell T Davies as Doctor Who showrunners: slick and polished and easier to admire (when done well) or coolly assess its flaws (when botched) than to get a grip on or pull apart & tinker with, vs. messy and prickly and grippy and tinkering-friendly and prone to getting its hooks in you whether or not you ever wanted that
and that's very funny to look back on with the distance of hindsight, because to this day--a full decade after peak Superwholock--RTD-era Who and Kripke-era SPN remain THE most insane, crazymaking, irreversible-brain-damage-inducing, "compelling in the way where they make me INCREDIBLY ANGRY and ITCHY TO FIX THEM because i am so stupid-invested that they still have me by the balls, even when my engagement is just picking apart the frustrations of how and why they SUCK" turbo-examples of velcro writing i have ever encountered in my LIFE
hell, they aren't even so much like velcro as they're like snagging the folds of a lace circle skirt on a whole branch of actual cockleburs and trying to wash the shrapnel out with fucking gorilla glue
.....and then there's BBC Sherlock. which was neither velcro writing nor teflon writing but an elaborate many-year con, targeted at the EXACT kinds of people who maintain a secret good Supernatural that lives in their heads, whose one neat trick was to bait its marks into collectively hallucinating a brilliant show so that Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss never had to put themselves to the trouble of writing one.

Okay important and genuine message from me. I'm not much or often a poster on timblr but if I can give a sincere message. It's to have varied interests. Be into multiple things at once. It doesn't have to be the same intensity for all of them or level of interest or whatever. Hell not all of it has to be good. Just have multiple things to look forward to and care about
#poke post#was watching a long ass video essay recently#n it finally mqde smth click for me coz like#one of the most miserable times in my life was when i was in the ds/mp era#because it and associated content creators were all i was into! so when shit was hitting the fan a long long time before i left#i was left in just the worst relationship to what was to be a comfort#and now fast forward a few years and. its like. im reading books. im going outside. im playing games. im drawing things. i curate my time#online very scrupulous because if i dont its easy to end up sad#which for me was starting to happen w/ q/s/mp#and so i was able to leave#because i have friends and shit outside of it and things i can talk about other then it#and its so freeing#which is to say. just. try to carve out time for more then one interest or thing at a time if you can#there are things you can do!! look up top 10 books in a genre!! order them off a library!! log off your socmeds for a while!! fuck!!#its not easy but its so worth it i promise it is.#+ also moreover please always remember my friends you are never obligated to engage in things if they make you unhappy. its always okay#to check and see if something brings you more joy then discomfort#take care everyone take care of yourselves#no one else can do it for you#anyway i will now go back to. my book :3 ive been reading the g/olden compass. havent finished yet so no spoilers#feel free to ask me about it ill probably get to it tmrw#also some things im looking forward to:#more on/e piece more wi/tch hat a/tieler ram the next stream of this small streamer ive been into#the next novel by this mid author i liked as a kid-#the next ep of du/nmeshi anime#and more and more#and sometimes i forget to have a thing to look forward to#and must find something new again again#its worth it#also yea no this is incoherent hope someone gets smth out of it tho

don't you just hate it when you watch a new movie or read a new book and come across this one character that just sweeps you off your feet and for the next six months-ish you are under their spell? almost like a trance? you dig up fanfiction, edits, listen to songs associated with them on repeat like a crazy person!
and one day this obsession suddenly disappears? they go just like they came? They don't even exist? Or perhaps they existed once in the past? You want to go to their era so bad or you want them to come to your era so bad- like why don't we have a time machine yet! Or inter-universe travel? Maybe they aren't real here but in some different universe they are doing their shenanigans? Being their magical self? Why can't I be in that universe instead?
