I NEED SOMEBODY’S OPINION ON MY LYRIC INTERPRETATION
Ok so I was just thinking about first few desperate hours, and I was reminiscing on the first time I listened to Tallahassee
And then I got to that one line, “when cloven hoof-prints turn up in the garden, yeah when cloven hoof-prints turn up in the garden, we keep up the good fight, we keep our spirits light”
And I remembered my first thought the first time I ever heard that: cloven hooves?
Well you know what has cloven hooves? MOUNTAIN GOATS!
I am aware that the interpretation that most people have, that it could be referring to Satan, or maybe even deer (as they often destroy gardens so like.. metaphor?)
But to me it always seemed like it was breaking the 4th wall so to speak - the alpha couple saying oh god it’s that John bloke, mr mountain goat, back again to make our lives even more miserable
I know that my interpretation is wrong, but that’s what it will always mean in my mind
Thank you for your time!

First Few Desperate Hours and Transcendental Youth!
First Few Desperate Hours: I am very fond of And the sun peeks in / Like a killer through the curtain. A classic tMG simile, taking something traditionally considered beautiful and good and making it sinister and terrible. The sun does peek in like a killer through the curtain when you're hung over, or when you have something coming up that you're dreading. It's an incongruous and surprising simile that nevertheless is instantly recognizable on an emotional level.
Transcendental Youth: There's a lot to like about this song. The horns, of course, and the excellent drum line, and the way it seems to have been a direct inspiration for the album art. I haven't listened to it in ages. I really like Sing, sing for ourselves alone / Speak into the microphone because it feels like a fourth wall break, and JD speaking directly to the audience. This one's for us, it's about us, sing it with me. The whole album is about doing whatever it takes not to kill yourself, so it seems fitting that the title track would break the fourth wall. It's like he's taking a step back in the studio and offering us the mic for a moment there. It's a good feeling.

I didn't like Mekt much but I do hate seeing him only utilized as a villain, as if Legion Worlds didn't happen.
Where is the Mekt who admitted that he was wrong to let his loneliness and jealousy dictate how he acted? Where is the Mekt that worked to be better? Where is the Mekt who welcomed Ayla home and put himself in harms way to help her save their parents farm? Where is the Mekt that delighted at the idea of seeing Garth again and was sad to hear he wasn't really coming back?
I don't know. Maybe it's just me but Mekt works so much better as a character of redemption and reconciliation than as one who stays bitter and antagonistic. He's more interesting that way

Im currently reinstalling BG3 to get all the new patches and whatnot so of course instead of focusing on my previous save where I already reached Act 3 Im thinking of starting a new run instead like... it wont even be that different when Im probably just gonna switch from ranger to druid but I wanna.
Plus, I thought of getting some new hair styles and clothes with mods since I saw so many lovely ones all over yt and tumblr, but Im not sure if it won’t disable my achievements? And I kinda like seeing them so rip new lovely hair styles I guess ;C

I've been trying to find the first sonic movie online so I can make edits of it and stuff but I can't find anything :/ Might have to just buy it and screen record the whole thing, but if anybody knows a link that would be absolutely amazing
