Legend has it if you listen to this soundcheck on repeat it will clear your skin, water your crops, and cure your depression. I hope this heals all of you like it has healed me.

#sleep token #vessel sleep token #vessel #song take me to church #take me to church #hozier #hozier cover #hozier take me to church #okay the caption is cheeky but this is pretty amazing #i wish the audio was better/longer but this was recorded outside a venue on a cellphone #the mp4 is in my google drive #in the rituals folder #it's literally a 30 second video of a wood door #but you can see the videographer get excited and thats kinda cute #because i'd be the same way fam #i wish i knew who actually recorded this so i could give proper credit #but its one of those things that's been passed around like crazy on the down-low #i know the person who *claims* to have recorded it is from ny or nj #so this might be from september 10th this past na rituals tour #i couldn't find this door on google maps #but i also couldn't get around to the back of the building to be 100% certain #i also tried checking union transfer the palladium and rams head live! but had no luck there either #if anyone has any more info on this soundcheck or the unedited video #(you can see and sort of hear it jump at the first “i'll tell you my sins”) #please please please tell me

HELLO INSANE #and then my second thought was when i realized since it was dantes inferno themed album it was probably in reference to -> #-> francesca da rimini and ding ding ding i was right #and i knew this cause im a complete nerd who reads Smithsonian articles for fun and there was one article about francesca and paolo #and thats actually where some of the art in this came from cause i went back to that article today #and i forgot that part about Tchaikovsky but it's actually really touching and fitting i felt like #its so cool how much art has been inspired by francesca and paolo for so long #and i just had to make this and i loved it cause its such an aching touching song that descends beauty #and the quotes from the inferno itself with francesca speaking were so beautiful #wow im such a nerd but i love it #shoutout to hozier once again for giving francesca and all francescas out there the recognition they deserve #OH AND ALSO I HAD TO PUT IN A CLASSIC Ivan Aivazovsky PAINTING #CAUSE THATS THE ONE THAT PEOPLE MISTAKE FOR GATHERING STORM BUT ITS DIFFERNT!!!!!!!!!!!! #CAUSE THIS ONE IS MORE ANGRY AND TURBULENT AND OMINOUS #WHICH DEFINETLY FITS THE STORM AND HURRICANE LYRIC I FEEL LIKE IDK I LOVE COMBINING MY NERDY ARTSY INTERESTS

happy three years to @chrysanthemumgames !!!! as always i'm a little biased towards drawing hermes, but i love the entire cast and at least wanted to draw all of them :') and ofc, thank you jess for a game i always love and keep coming back to!!!

#do not be fooled with no speechbubbles in reply to the cast #hermes is yelling hello's and sorry's as he speeds away i promise #asphodelgame #fields of asphodel #foa #my art #hermes #persephone #pyri #alekto #charon #hekate #hades #makaria #have a bunch of doodles and thoughts for foa that i never got around to properly drawing so . perhaps soon!!!!! #also re the new hozier album. first time-hades (i shouldnt have to explain myself it was like it was written FOR him) #who we are- charon and esp with his backstory my knuckles go white with how desperate i am to know more about them #de selby pt1 and 2 for hermes just cause i like the imagery of the songs about descent for the deity that splits his time #unknown is for alekto . lord i love her and again i would like sweet sweet backstory #first light pyri . i enjoy the light-river of fire idea and also its one of the more hopeful songs off the album #and i am struggling with hekate but i do enjoy all things end :) #but particularly 'if there way anyone to ever get through this life with their heart still intact they didn't do it right' #and ofc 'we didn't it right but love we did our best' and that constant forward motion for a deity that has lived so long #seph/pc gets to someone from a warm climate. the adjustment of being in a new place and the love that can come from that new place #and in the end its as easy . natural as another leg around you in the bed frame. ANYONE ELSE A BIT SICK RN? #other songs on the album (FRANCESCA. ICARIAN. DAMAGE GETSDONE!!!!) can be applied to the entire cast #damage gets done has such SUCH a fun beat that makes me think of hermes but that is like. 90% bias #anyways sorry for the hozier-foa tedtalk in the notes. quite deranged about both lately #and as always sorry to the pagans on this site. best wishes <3

[rebel-ezra]

I get insanely mad about the tiktok girlies thinking the bridge of unknown / nth is a love song and that it's about loving someone so much and them saying "I want to be loved like this" like NO !! its about someone you love breaking your trust and your heart and you still care about them despite the heartbreak !! it is fucking heartbreaking it is not cute !! its not one of his love songs !! shut up u dont get him like I do shut up shut up shut up

#they dont get him !!!!!!!!!! #like seriously just look up one (1) interview of him talking about the song !!! #broooo #anways #no one gets him like the Tumblr girlies (gn) #hozier #unreal unearth #unknown / nth

[rock-in-robins]

so like reverse robins, if done right, i love em. anything reverse robins i ever write will never have Steph become Babs. it doesn't make sense to her character for her to become oracle, would she be great at it, absolutely, but it doesn't make sense.

there's always debate on whether it should be Steph or Tim to die and more or less become Jason. my answer is that Tim get's joker jr'd and kills himself (+ the joker if your so inclined (but joker would have to be revived somehow for plot reasons) (you can make it Bruce if you want more angst)) then Steph becomes robin because Tim always talked about how gotham needed a robin and she wanted to honor him in a way only she could. then the thing with black mask happens and she still fakes her death travels, heals, grieves, and comes back when she heard bruce picked up a new kid. (Jason wasn't robin yet, just living in the manor but Steph new it was only a matter of time)

so she comes back to gotham and decides she's gonna take care of crime alley her way, and revamps her old spoiler costume. (she may not have grown up there but she was a few streets away and she knew what a place like that did to kids) (she also has no ties to Bruce anymore so her no killing thing gets a whole lot more lax)(she kills her father - that's how bruce and the others found out shes back in town). and openly feuds with black mask over territory and brutally maims him but like just a bit.

Then Jason becomes robin and six months later Tim is back. he's different and definitely a bit more unhinged, but efficient as ever. he quickly takes over the drug trade and helps Steph get rid of the worst of the worst. But doesn't do the whole try to make Bruce kill the joker thing, instead he makes Bruce watch as Tim does and warns him that if he tries to revive the joker again (damian aka nightwing def killed the joker & Bruce brought him back) that they Will Have Problems. Tho he is going as Joker Jr. as a fuck you and a threat to pretty much everyone, after all they all knew what happened to the 2nd robin.

In summary Tim & Steph split up the Red Hood traits

Duffle bag of heads - tim, he's dramatic

Died (like burried in a grave and crawled out died) - tim

Guns - Steph

The joker - tim (but steph will shoot the fucker on sight so help her god)

Black mask war - steph (obvi)

Crime alley - steph mainly (but tim lurks around and every crime alley kid & sex worker knows that if they ever need something JJ will take care of it no questions asked)

Drug trade - tim

Scaring/pissing B off - both, they make it a game

Murder - both as a treat

#also didn't know where to put this but steph and tim have a shared gang where they awkwardly coparent their goons #so like there a 2 fics in mind for this au so far #one based off 'work song' by hozier #and the other is crime alley learning to trust JJ/RedHood!Tim #this starts out as TimSteph like when tim first comes back from the grave but they talk and process and realise their better off as friends #reverse robins #kaz's reverse robins #tim drake #bruce wayne #stephanie brow #dc spoiler #joker junior #batman #dc batman #dc robin #robin

hey i was listening to take me to church my hozier and youre probably already aware but . that song fits vasco and machete so fucking well i think. im so. hnrjrgjfhkndhfjkf these gayass dogs have invaded my head

.

#oh yes #it's become one of their key theme songs #been one of my personal favorites for ages as well #in fact even though this specific song is clearly from Machete's pov #I've sort of unofficially decided that Vasco would sound somewhat like Hozier #especially his speaking voice which to me has the same depth warmth and calm unassuming friendliness that I can imagine Vasco having #if I had the theoretical chance to pick absolutely anyone I wanted as their voice actors I'd go with him #answered #wolfboyvirus

[chessentans]

It has to be really hard to be Hozier. Like you work your ass off making incredibly intelligent and politically charged music only for all your fans to sit there going "Ough bogman" and "lmaooo what if this was about Persephone and Hades though?" Like I would start killing

#hozier #the bogman sucks too cause so many of his songs are like #about irishness and irish oppression #so its kinda... insensitive #also Persephone and hades people SHUT UP #If Swan upon Leda is indivative of anything i think we can figure what direction he'd take with that nyth anyway #and its not the one uou want #also alot of his new stuff is explicitly inspired by the inferno

[your-icarian-carrion]

I need to talk about Anything But for a second cuz good lord what a poetic and intelligent song. Once I saw that it was the circle Fraud everything about it fell into place and I’ve been marveling at how smart this song is since.

It starts off incredibly bright. It’s possibly the lightest and brightest song we’ve ever heard from a Hozier song to this point, which is strange because we are many songs deep into a thus far heart-wrenching breakup album. The tone contrast seems jarring, but we’ve had clashing sound/lyrics from him before.

On a casual listen, we hear all the markers of a traditional Hozier love song. (This is smart because this is obviously how fraud works; on the surface everything seems normal, until you start to see cracks later). We see nature symbolism, we see something that could be attributed to devotion and protection (“if I was a riptide I wouldn’t take you out,” “If I was a stampede you wouldn’t get a kick,” “if I had [death’s] job you would live forever”), and the chorus “But I would do anything just to run away,” initially left me thinking he meant to run away with his love. All the classic Hozier lines.

Of course, though, we know this is a breakup album, and it would be strange to have such a happy song placed so deep into it. And once we know that this song is the circle of fraud, the cracks start to show.

The use of negative things like riptides, stampedes, and death is very smart because of course we know that no one would want to get caught by any of these things, so of course we initially think Hozier is protecting his love. But then, the realization; these lines are supposed to mean that even in these natural things that would normally not discern who to attack, Hozier, being these things, would purposefully avoid his love, because he wants nothing to do with them anymore. He would not take his love’s hand if he were death, and although then they would live forever, he would never have to interact with them again. In addition, there really wasn’t any implied addition to “but i would do everything just to run away;” he truly wants to just get away from this person. He doesn’t want to be anything, but this person, for whatever reason, would make him to absolutely everything to get away. He wants to become a riptide, a stampede, death, and wants to do so and purposefully avoid his love.

Though all of this we realize this song isn’t about devotion, like we (or at least I) initially thought, but it’s about letting go.

It’s not that the song is about fraud, it’s that the song, is, in and of itself, fraudulent in it’s presentation.

It’s so smart.

i think putting the weight of a franchise on the shoulders of one singular child is super normal and we should totally keep doing it on a yearly basis

Thinking about the deep, soul crushing love and devotion achilles and patroclus have for each other and how if I don’t experience that kind of love at least once in my life I will wither away like a dead leaf in winter

Love me in a way that makes the gods tremble in fear and I will love you even if it kills me

#y’all I am in a patrochilles MOOD tonight #listening to hozier is not helping but like it is #I’m also planning on reading that really good fic that’s tsoa but I’m achilles’ perspective #lament of patroclus? yeah that one #wish me luck x #patrochilles #tsoa #the song of achilles #the iliad
