✨ Unfiltered Joker thoughts ✨

I watched Joker with a bunch of lovely clowns on my Discord and while they werewolf’d in the chat, I typed out my thoughts here as they came to me. These are unedited, unfiltered, and exactly as they were in my head. I don’t know who’d be interested in this but 🤷‍♀️ who doesn’t love unfiltered thoughts about our man? NSFW ahead in places, lmao and some self-ship elements because it’s always on my mind.

There are Controversial Things within, I’m sure - be nice about it if you wanna comment, or unfollow/block etc. if it bothers you I won’t take it personally. I will take it personally if I’m sent a rude message, though. Fair warning. You curate your own online experience so scroll past silently if you gotta!🥰🥰🥰🥰

he makes me smile omg hes my sunshine

my love my life 

you saved my soul do you know that??? do you feel me and how much i love you? do you see me and these tears? 

do you feel me like i feel you?

ohhhhh boy here we go asdfdgfhgjhk arthur going to meet his dad, only asking for love and instead he gets punched in the face

i mean i get it bc of what arthur did to bruce with the whole hands in the mouth thing but bruce is barely mentioned, like an afterthought?

thomas has a nasty temper i wouldnt want him for a dad

thomas legit only mentions bruce after he’s punched arthur its like his only thought is really protecting himself and his rep with the whole penny thing

his son comes after; legit as he’s walking away he mentions bruce so hes obvs not that concerned????

shitty dad award lmao

not that what arthur did is okay im not excusing his admittedly misguided and lowkey creepy actions but like ????

lmao prob gonna get hate for this ^^ like i did last time i mentioned it but i dont care im allowed an opinion

too tired to care rn anyways pfffft its storming so bad outside and my wifi has dipped idk if this’ll save

c’mon wifi, for me... 

yes

arthur didnt have an attack til he got called crazy, its a trigger word for him 😭

oh baby its okay, deep breaths.

dont fight your laughter, that’ll make it worse 

the way he bounces back from that punch though - you know how to take it, dont you, my love?

you sweet thing.

i wish i could get you out of that fridge omg baby those old ones lock - how did you get out ????

meds are wearing off now.....

darling say no to the show lmao you dont wanna go

*facepalm*

every time i watch this i hope it turns out different

it never does

arthur honey dont ask questions you dont want the answers to

that clerk was protecting you not letting you see the file

that clerk and gary were the only ones nice to you

but it wasnt enough

you needed love and support and help and guidance 

and instead you got literal and metaphorical punches and no break

the hand puppet omgggg ~ 

i want him to play peekaboo with me when im sad/upset/make a hand puppet over my shoulder aszdxfcghvjbkn

ohhhhhh darling stop reading stop reading stop reading

put it down. 

this entire scene is confusing and heartbreaking

ive seen this film 10000000 x and im still not sure i fully understand

his laughing is so much like sobbing here

omg moonshine its okay you can cry. let it all out. 

newspaper clips in a real file???? mmmm - unprofessional or arthur’s manifestation of news??

🤔

we love pathetic fallacy in this house

i wanna get you in the shower and wash you down and feed you and wrap you in my warm embrace “i had a bad day”

my dark angel, it’s okay. i’m here. i love you and im staying with you no matter what

sophie was his last hope, his last chance to reconnect

again im not excusing it lmao but im saying i understand him

hes touching everything to experience it for the first time

he knows shes a daydream

hes self-aware but he needs his coping mechanisms

we all do it

not the breaking in, i mean the daydreaming 

“i had a bad day” shatters my black, shrivelled heart 💔💔💔💔💔💔

ohhh, darling.

istg you’re the only person i ever fucking coo at 

finger-guns = reconnecting = remember me see me

but i guess to sophie it came across as ominous/creepy??

poor arthur trying so hard to reconnect to people and he just cant do it he doesnt have the social know-how bc no one bothered to ever teach him

again im not saying its okay im just saying

lmao i hate how i always feel like i have to justify myself even before thats called into question pffft the internet is cruel and prev times ive voiced myself ive been sent rude messages and once bitten twice shy

the sword forgets but the tree remembers

hes sobbign and laughing and its gut-wrenching

that neighbour yelling “shut up” better catch these hands imma square up

have some compassion dickwad

you never know what someones going through so be kind

always always be kind

^^^ film takeaway right there

if looks could kill penny would be 6 feet under

OH WAIT LMAOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂😂

in killing her he sets himself free. but the trauma and the damage done to him leaves him open to more of the same bc hes so vulnerable

that heart-rate monitor went quiet so quickly did he tune it out????

OMG THE WAY HE REHEARSES FOR THE SHOW YOU SWEET MAN OMG YOU DESERVE THE WORLD

sir thats my seat lmao my throne of red

“yeah? all of you? okay” 🤡🤡🤡

us lining up to fuck him into next week 😂

THATS LIFEEEEE ~ 

the fuck kinda hair dye you usin’???

CHOKE ME W THOSE BICEPS

DANCIN TOGETHER IN THE BATHROOM

THOSE HIPS DONT LIEEEEE 👀👀

scissors = pre-med murder but triggered by “my boy” - term used by abusers. 

poor angel’s triggered by lots of things, i think. theres no telling what triggers his violence and thats what makes him dangerous

could be anything and theres also no telling what his “you wronged me” scale is so ??? 

he’s like a kicked dog... lashes out when hes had so much and wont/cant take anymore

“COMING” yeaaaaah i bet....👀

“i stopped taking my medication and i feel a lot better now” GET OUT GET OUT THATS A RED FLAG OUUUUUUUUUUT YOU GO

OOOOOH JOKER’S LAUGH IS OUT - HES MOCKING YOUUUU AND YOU DONT EVEN KNOW IT BOY’S SMARTICLES

this is why arthurs so dangerous. he looks lithe and weak and fragile but he takes down a man twice his size with scissors in one hit

do not underestimate him it’ll be the last thing you ever do

I WANNA LICK THE BLOOD OFF HIS FACE

BRITISH ACCENT ON POINT 

LMAO he’d so mock me for mine 😂

“you were the only one who was ever really nice to me” a moral codeeee; flexible morality like meeee ~ 

okay but he so made gary jump bc he knew gary was too scared to move otherwise

loooooving the gallows humour with the door lock PFFFT

gotham slept on arthur dude’s hilarious

[songofadaydream]

my real-time thoughts on rocketman the 4th time I’ve seen it in total and 2nd time this week, let’s go bois *very long post warning*

fair warning I just finished jojo rabbit less than an hour ago and it was way more emotional than I expected, so she’s probably going to be an emotional wreck tonight ladies!! :)) also, I will be pausing the movie throughout! just wanted to let you know

starting the night out right with some lay’s salt and vinegar chips and a lush face mask

not even a part of the movie but when the studio logos come on a version of goodbye yellow brick road and just *french kiss*

it’s starting and I am here for it!!

taron comes looking like an icon and a snack. actually, a whole meal. the heart glasses omggg

“how long’s this gonna take.” “that’s really up to you.”

i never noticed this before but taron stares right into the camera as he introduces himself

“my name is elton hercules john. and I’m an alcoholic. and a cocaine addict. and a sex addict. and a bulimic. i’m also a shopaholic who was problems with weed, prescription drugs, and anger management.”

“well my dealer was out of town I thought this seemed like a good alternative,”

“and I wanted to get better.”

um the transition into the full on musical number of the bitch is back.

this tiny little child actor playing elton saying bitch 10 million times. props to his parents for letting him do that.

um also his riffs??

just the way his mom says, “love to.”

god his dad is a DOUCHE

“when are you going to hug me”🥺🥺

the flashlight conducting scene!! they’re playing rocketman and it’s so beautiful and cute!! whe lil reggie/elton gets on the mini piano oh my god

when he looks at his mom’s fashion magazines...gay fashion icon beginnings...

*looks up* “can we go home,”

he starts playing his teacher’s song and she’s just like 😦😦

idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I don’t really like the I want love scene. I just don’t really like the switching of singer, the arrangement, and tempo. just my opinion though :/ also that’s the only weak scene of this movie I think

elton’s grandmother appreciation post send tweet

that last I want love though.

when his mom is clearly getting it on in a car and her date is like, “I’m..,,..a friend of.,.,,..your mum’s,.,,”

his dad leaves. heartbreaking!

when he wipes the tear away...

“i discovered records. and rock and roll :)”

playing classical music with an elvis presley haircut is an aesthetic no I don’t take criticism

“excuse me. you can’t put that there,” “why not,” “it’ll get knocked off.”

when he transforms into teenage elton and an amazing musical/dance number starts

that face taron makes when the door shuts on the car

“it’s not just your name. you gotta kill the person you were born to be in order to become the person you wanna be.”

that kiss with one of the band members is so hot.

peeing in a bottle in disgusting I’m sorry.

“what’d you say your name was again?” “elton.” “elton. elton what.” “john. elton john.”

ray is cute af. also the transcendental moment when he hands elton the envelope with bernie’s lyrics in it.

“one frothy coffee, no froth.”

jamie is so cute what the heckkkk

singing streets of loredo in a cafe is so wholesome and adorable

holy sHIT BORDER SONG IS STARTING

bernie and elton are literally so cute together as friends omg

also completely digging these like early 70s silk scarf things.

“yeah I could just take those songs and leave if you like,”

“what about the fact that you’re a f*g...your little friend here...is a homosexual.”

bernie not caring whether or not elton is is gay is Peak Pure ™

“oH fUcK”

when they stumble home drunk. the cuteness I can’t.

“you are a ssshhHHITT hot piano player, you have an aMAZING voice, and I’m telling you there is something special that happens...when you sing our songs.”

the way the two handle elton’s leaning in for a kiss is SO GOOD and I could write an entire essay on it. “we became inseparable after that. the brother I never had.”

“anyway I took his advice. told arabella. she took it quite well actually,” *cut to her throwing his piano out the window* “sHe KiLlEd mY pIaNo”

your song and everything about that scene is perfection. that’s all I have to say.

“you can’t just sPRING the troubadour on me.”

“put on a great

fucking

show. and just don’t kill yourself with drugs?”

amoreena is so good how didn’t I realize this until now!

doug flirting w/bernie kills me every time.

“ooh dude. what the hell’re you wearing?”

“my stage gear.”

*bernie stumbles in drunk* “reggie! reggie reggie. neil diamond is at the bar he’s talkin to leon russell and half the fuckin beach boys eh??”

“jesus sHIT bernie,”

that little, “well come on then,” after being yelled by bernie & ray

“please welcome all the way from london, england...”

ELTON JOHN

when he starts singing it’s like the smoothest molasses ever and I am HERE for it.

there’s an interview where taron says, and I quote, “those dungarees made my ass look massive” wholeheartedly agree my guy. but in best way possible

when they start floating

elton’s jacket and the magic that is the entirety of tiny dancer <3 <3

there’s a whole ass bed in a tipi?? what the hell

“so you like the songs then?” “not quite as much as the singer,” OH SHIT THE GAY TENSION

“there are moments in a rockstar’s life that defines who he is...and it’s going to be a wild ride,”

it’s a weird scene to like but I really love the take me to the pilot love scene. the song is so good and perfect for that moment, and they seem genuinely attracted to each other (even though john ends up being a huge dick later)

the way he takes the glasses off

the lil race to get their pants off is weird but it works

elton just seems so happy and content at the end and it’s so refreshing.

when he gets the shoes and the glasses <3

he looks so happy and fulfilled my little boy

why is it so cute when he and Kiki record don’t go breaking my heart

elton stops it the SECOND he sees John oh my goddd

kiki’s little “ough” when she sees john

“elton what’s going on are we going again or should we go for a pint,” *sees john walk into the closet* “yeah no yeah you should go for a pint”

HONKY CAT IS ONE OF IF NOT THE BEST SCENES/SONGS IN THE ENTIRE FILM THERE I SAID IT

cocaine induced head butt of a soccer ball is iconic

why did they have to get rid of rayyyy

the, “best of luck to you elton,” is so bitter yet genuinely well-wishing??

“welp...that was *absolutely* horrible,” is such a mood

the scene where he goes to come out to his dad is so incredibly heartbreaking, especially when it cuts to him in rehab.

taron deserves an oscar just for throwing that chair alone.

“what have you got to do the get a fucking drink around here, eh?” and then he takes a swig from a bottle in the car with john

when he calls his mom to come out. that shit hurts.

“i just hope you realize you’re choosing a life of being alone forever...you’ll never be loved properly.” he opens his mouth. it’s so awful guys. and then he fucking gets punched by john what an absolute dick.

“real love’s hard to come by. so you find a way to cope without it.”

the scene that comes right after that when he’s getting ready for his show and snorts cocaine and takes a swig of a drink really shows how far off the deep end he had gone. it’s heartbreaking, really.

“PEOPLE DON’T PAY TO SEE rEgInALd dWiGhT THEY PAY TO SEE ELTON JOHN. DON’T EVER TELL ME HOW TO DO MY FUCKING JOB.” “WRITE THE FUCKING LYRICS, BERNIE. LET ME DEAL WITH THE REST,” “i’m sorry,” “i know.”

that headdress tho

ok but pinball wizard absolutely slaps and so does the montage with all of his changing outfits

oh my god the drag queen in his room though

NONONONO JOHN IS LITERALLY RIGHT THERE FUCKING CHEATING ON HIM IT IS NOT OKAY.

what an inconvenient time for his mom to waltz in

“and what a shy little boy you were! look at you now.”

“mum you’re ON my GOWN,”

i wish i were as cool as bernie getting out of that car and coming inside

“yEaGhHhH...go get a lil drink. yehyeh,”

get ready for one of the most impactful scenes of 2019 if not the 2010s ladies

“FOR MY NEXT TRICK i’m gonna fucking kill myself.”

again, I could write an entire essay on this but the fact that he is literally hitting rock bottom with his childhood self down there is so impactful and powerful and one of the greatest artistic choices they made in this film. also the cinematography is gorgeous.

and oh, by the way, taron actually performed this underwater. no cgi or special effects. where is his oscar.

john is a dick to him on the stretcher but bernie looks so genuinely concerned for his friend and I love that.

it is absolutely gut wrenching when they pump his stomach.

THE CINEMATOGRAPHY AND ANGLES AND SILHOUETTES WHEN IT GETS TO THE BIG CHORUS PART IS SO SO SO INCREDIBLY GOOD AND AMAZING AND I WILL NEVER, EVER GET OVER IT.

the nurses getting him ready for what was probably his biggest/most iconic performance to date is something so incredible, and such a great choice cinematically, story wise, and really emotion wise too. he was at his absolute rock bottom and did one of if not the most iconic performance a little over 24hrs later, and I think this little part really helps to illustrate that.

taron actually hit that baseball and I’m so proud of him for it.

the liftoff is so great. and then it cuts to him in a plane with smoke on his head which just. ugh.

hot take: elton’s addiction wouldn’t have gotten so bad if he had just gone to bernie’s fucking ranch with him

THE QUEEN OUTFIT IS SO ICONIC IM SORRY

also if this movie doesn’t win the goddamn best costume design I swear to god.

YES BENNIE AND THE JETSSSSS

this is also such a great scene as well omg.

when he flashbacks to his childhood and difficult and also great moments in his life during this sequence. that hit hard.

i feel like no one talks about taron’s arms enough? they as thiccc as his thighs why y’all sleeping on them

“You signed a contract with me years ago, so I’ll still be collecting my 20% long after you’ve killed yourself.” that’s cold as hell.

when he throws that glass at the door. and then victim of love starts playing straight afterwards UGH dexter fletcher you need to STOP and CALM DOWN

listen I don’t know elton was thinking and/or feeling in terms of life and his sexuality when he decided to marry renata but can we talk about his wedding outfit?? wtffff it’s so gay and if you don’t see it you’re blind.

the look his mom gives him I’m DEAD

they literally had separate rooms this was not a normal marriage. the breakfast scene is so sad though.

“did being married make you happy?” “not really, I’m gay.” hands down one of the most iconic lines in the entire movie.

why does he have sperm on this firework suit coat.

“you know I am so sick of running away from who I am.”

the way his voice wavers and cracks is not okay. and neither is his mom twisting everything around so that she’s made out to be the victim. and don’t cry in the bathroom elton please buddy. you’ll be okay.

“campaign to kill yourself is going well, eh?”

“when did you give up? if you don’t care about yourself how can you expect anyone else to...it’s not weak to ask for help.”

goodbye yellow brick road is such a beautiful song and scene and why didn’t we get Jamie to sing more I mean come on he does so incredibly well in this scene.

also I didn’t really realize that they flipped a few verses around for the movie. and elton yelling and screaming at bernie as he leaves is so powerful.

elton yelling at himself.

this is also when he has a heart attack?? chest infection?? I don’t really know but he falls down the stairs and Mr. Dick Manager John makes him continue to perform.

and there he is in the first scene’s costume. singing the rest of yellow brick road.

and there he goes. off to rehab. a full circle moment. good for him for finally taking control of his life and addictions.

“yeah but I started acting like a c*nt in 1975. I just forgot to stop.”

“maybe I should’ve tried to be more ordinary.” his grandmother walks in. “he was never ordinary.” my. heart. can. not. take. this.

this next scene where he talks to everyone in his mind is incredibly powerful and I will shout it from the rooftops until the end of time.

“my problem is that I believed you loved me. and you’re incapable of it.” the SHADE

“actually I think I’m okay with strange.”

BERNIE COMES IN MY LOVE

“bernie...I never told you how much I need you.” shit fam here comes the waterworks

“you just need to remember who you are. and be okay with it.”

and then his childhood self comes in. “I haven’t been reggie Dwight for years.” “when are you going to hug me.” he engulfs his young self in a hug. this is one of the best moments of the film and I am now full on crying.

I can’t get over how wholesome bernie’s visit is with Elton. the sweetest thing ever.

“you’re not scared you’re not good without it, you’re scared to feel again...this is the part you gotta do on your own. these...need music”

“thank you bernie.” “you’re my brother.” <3

and then he finally sits down to write again. and it’s pure magic.

I’m still standing is a a feat of what he’s been through the entire movie. finally, he’s sober, he’s accepting of himself/his sexuality, and is getting to a better place. plus, it mirrors the original music video, and is everything I’ve ever needed and more. *the* perfect scene and song to end upon.

he’s so happy at the end. and then the epilogue starts and says he’s been sober for 28 years and counting, set up an aids charity, still writes with bernie, met his husband David 25 years ago and is finally loved properly (rip my heart out of my chest, why don’t you), has two sons and is retiring from touring. and and the I’m gonna love me again plays with him and taron and it’s just such a perfect song to end, and I can’t.

so. those are my thought while watching rocketman for the 4th time in total, 2nd time this week. sorry that’s it’s so long. I just love this film so much. anyways, it’s almost 2am and I’m an emotional wreck. I’m gonna go cry and go to bed now. thanks for making it this far. :) <3

GOT OUR NASH(FILL) OF NASH(VILLE)...

Because if there was a thing to be eaten in this city, boy did we eat it. They like to do it big in the south and I was not prepared for just hOW big our three days in Nasty Nash would be, from the food to the people to the number on the thermometor. Luzi and I took a tour-de-midwest adventure by way of MegaBus to the land of Johnny Cash in the late summer weeks when we believed good weather and positive thinking was fleeting, as once school picks back up fun is a fallacy, especially because three months ago I was sitting in an arena surrounded by the best & brightest peers with tequila bottles hidden up their graduation gown sleeves and I believed I HAD DONE IT. The four years of education that were truly some of the best of my life had ended, and I was so proud to walk out a scholar... until last week when graduate classes began and I found myself back in those same rooms with the same familiar dread of 7:15 p.m., when every student goes to Chipotle on our break and comes back with a full-on burrito bowl meal that we ALL get to enjoy with them. Really. I love school.

But we needed this last hurrah. 

So nine hours later and hundreds of miles seen through MegaBus windows, some McDonald’s consumed along the way for road trip posterity, we tumbled out into the late afternoon sun of NASHVILLE! Step number one: get to the Airbnb and drop off our suitcases and wash our smelly selves. Step number two: EAT SOME FRIED FOOD AND HEAR AT LEAST 1-5 FIDDLES. 

We chose our first spot, ACME Feed & Seed, due to multiple suggestions to check it out and because it’s a four-story bar alongside the river. Um, that sounded ideal. And it was. We ordered fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and remoulade along with a deep-dish cherry cobbler toped with vanilla bean ice cream as our intro dinner, and found a place to sit amidst the dark, crowded scene of the first floor. There was a live band playing excellent songs that the crowd seated at tables and along the extensive bar were vibbing with, and while we snacked on the most incredible candied cherry and whole-grain oatmeal topped cobbler we slowly realized we did it; our yolo trip had begun!!! There’s a weird part of traveling where you don’t really believe you’re at the destination until a couple hours later and the travel has worn off, and then suddenly you’re just present in the location and the moment and it’s exhilarating. We looked at each other and the devil was in our eyes and that night went from chill tomatoes & beer to DRANKS at the three-story bar smack dab in the middle of Lower Broadway, a soon-to-be home base for us called Honky Tonk. 

Honky Tonk is where you go for loud live music, people singing along with that live music, tons of open balconies and tables and dance floors, and cheap-ish drinks that allow you to have a wild evening should you be open to that. We fell in love on the spot and a drink called a “Yee-Haw” became my #1 beverage of choice, and both guys that offered to buy me a drink looked entirely stricken that they had to order a “Yee-Haw” instead of a “Can I get a, uh, Bud Light? Yeah. Bud Light. That sounds manly.” 

The top floor is where it’s at, as they play only well-known but kinda old country music and you get a full view both directions on Broadway. The bright neon lights and exceptional masses of people really did make it seem like THE place to be, and so we stayed. For three nights. Along with checking out other bars, of course. 

Food wise, this trip was remarkable. We tried a little bit of everything whenever we could, and here are my top top places for Nashville noshing. 

1. Barista Parlor 

Barista Parlor is the exact kind of coffee shop you want to find in a city of hipsters, music, metal, and heat. This giant factory/warehouse turned “parlor” was cool in every way: quiet, dim-lit, full of fun knick-knacks and decor, and had a gorgeous wooden floor with the logo carved into it. 

The coffee was incredible, and my iced latte was served in that type of glass that makes everything taste a little bit trendier. We had heard of Five Daughters bakery and their hundred-layer donuts, so given the opportunity to snag the last chocolate one they had RIGHT THERE we had to take it. This crisp, hand-pulled espresso in almond milk along with a REAL, fried-to-the-extreme donut proved to be a heart-stopping breakfast. Like, do not eat one of these donuts if you have a history of heart disease. But holy wow, it was incredible. It was greasy and chocolate-y and somehow still flaky like a croissant, and the glaze on top was genuine milk chocolate melted down and dripped all over. Barista Parlor won over my corporate- America barista heart, and should I ever move to Nashville I’m taking my barista skills there to go up a level. 

Luzi approved!

2. Five Daughters Bakery

Ok this bakery was the damn cutest thing I’ve ever seen. It has pink, it has green, and it looks like every preppy brand teamed up to make gluttonous food for fashionable lil people. The area where this place is located is where Draper James (Reese Witherspoon’s store) is, and the murals that make the city of Nashville so very Instagram-able. We’re talking “I Believe in Nashville” and the blue + white stripes that make for a very dynamic photo. There are a million tiny stand-alone boutiques, coffee stops, and trendy places to buy a candle so if you have an afternoon to burn this is your area. After donut #2 of the day of the same variety (even though they have a dozen + types of donuts to choose from), we stopped at Frothy Monkey for a caffeine pick-me-up. 

3. Frothy Monkey 

Luzi was like a kid in a candy store when we made it here, because this place was her #1 to visit and I was so happy we stumbled upon it! This location near Five Daughters is like a house turned coffee-shop fort, and it’s incredible cozy inside and out. Tables were hard to snag but we got one right on the front porch and sat like a couple of oldies just watching the people go by and enjoying yet another perfect latte. Nashville knows how to do coffee very well. We went back the morning before our MegaBus home departed and it was just as cute and good at a different location, and they appeared to offer huge beautiful breakfasts if you wanted to sit in a more formal dining area. A coffee house that can also serve up a mean omelette? Hell yes. 

4. Biscuit Love

After a long night of debauchery and all-around YOLO moments Luzi and I greeted the day with sunglasses and a hunger for heavy southern food that frightened us both, so off to The Gulch for biscuits and cheese and hopefully a lot of butter. We waited in the fast-moving line along with bachelorette parties galore, adorable young families, and bros just looking to brunch and it was clear that is area is up n’ coming as a top young people living spot. Biscuit Love was an adorable cafe with a straightforward but intriguing menu circling around, you guessed it, biscuits and gravy and all those good things. We both got a biscuit with eggs and cheese and some iced coffee, and WOW that was just what the doctor warned against. The biscuits were huge and fluffy, moist to the middle but with a crunchy outside, and the eggs were folded to be eaten sandwich style should you wish. The inside is a very basic “country-chic” feel and offers the right amount of cute but practical that one wishes for when they’re eating a cheesy biscuit in the most elegant way they can. I was a big fan and would for sure return to try whatever else isn’t slathered in non-vegetarian gravy! 

5. Martin’s BBQ! 

This place stole the show for me. A very kind dad recommended it to us on the first night and we were hesitant because there’s always caution when a fifty year old man chooses to talk to two young women at a bar packed with people our age, but once we arrived at some real authentic BBQ I was thrilled. As I am a pro at making meals out of sides we got deviled eggs, mac & cheese, coleslaw, and some herb-pancake that was far too delicious for how cheap it was to sample. Luzi got the fried chicken that I drooled over from across the table, but the sides were all amazing and it was my absolute favorite meal we had there. The interior of this place is like a giant covered beer garden with tons of picnic and hightop tables and then trees and foliage all over, completed with bars and arcade style games once you move further inside. It’s loud, smoky, casual, and yet so perfect for a beer and some homestyle food. Plus, it’s only a couple blocks from Broadway so after you’re done and dawn has turned to dusk you just wander over to the nutty part of town for the night! 

Honorable mentions include: the Florida Georgia Line bar that’s across from the Johnny Cash Museum; it has an excellent rooftop and by day is perfect for day drinking while at night turns into a RODEO of sorts. Plus their food in the lower levels is actually delicious and they play country music videos on the walls the whole time. Man I love country music and greasy food put together. Also, The Little Octopus offers a fancier evening setting if that’s what you’re looking for, with healthy & delicious tapas-style options such as fried yukka with aioli and rice and beans topped with a spicy tomato sauce. We treated ourselves on our last night out and got a flavor-filled, high class experience there that let us reflect on our time in Nash and get really emo about leaving. In 72 hours we really really fell in love with that city, from our sketchy but lovely Airbnb to everyone that kept asking “BUT WHERE’S THE REST OF YOUR GROUP” when they refused to believe it was just two of us doin’ a girl’s trip. 

Would I go back? Absolutely. By way of the Megabus? Nope. But it was an excellent experience, and Nasty Nash filled our tummies & souls. 

Until next time, Happy Eating!
