[lonewellyboot]

actually begging the people on my tumblr feed to stop mischaracterising the desolation PLEASE we don’t need the incessant fire parallels i promise you’re missing the entire point! it’s about the gradual losing of everything you’ve ever cared about, the crushing sensation that you can never fulfil your potential because there’s nothing left for you, the understanding that the way you claw to keep what you have will just mangle it beyond recognition and either way youve lost

it’s a metaphor for depression in the way the buried isn’t simply because of the numbness of loss as opposed to the crushing suffocation; it’s a metaphor for anxiety in the way the hunt isn’t because of the ever so slight creeping sensation that everything you hold onto will slip away like sand between your fingers, just slow enough that you feel unworthy of your fear but unable to release that fear because you know something is so deeply wrong NOTHING HAS EVER UNDERSTOOD ME AND MY FEARS SO COMPLETELY THAN THE DESOLATION

like please understand the limbo of not being afraid enough to face it, to reach fight/flight, to have the adrenaline to counter the problem, because the problem is trickling in so slowly from so many different places that you can’t find the source of the leak, but being too afraid to relax, the feeling that if you blink for even a single second you’ll have lost what can never be returned, paralysed with the need to stay vigilant, unable to enjoy what you have before you lose it because all you can think of is the overwhelming knowledge that you ARE losing it inch by inch

it’s fuck all about mindless destruction like i saw someone describe it as!! don’t do my bby the desolation like that it’s about infinite LOSS not DESTRUCTION

full disclosure i haven’t finished the show i may completely change my mind on this take but hhh i have so many emotions about the desolation it’s imo the most intricate and complex fear i HATE when people reduce it to ‘fear of fire’

I was looking back about tma and was reflecting on what fear entity would have my ass if I was in that universe and I realized that, no, it wouldn’t be the vast. It would be the corruption, how I managed to look over my deep seeded fear of bugs crawling into my body when I sleep such as my mouth or ears to the point that I have to have a fan pointed at my face as a reassurance, I have no clue. Or how I one time found a spider in my room and when I tried to catch it (killing it was a risk I was not willing to take because you never know when it has eggs on it) and I lost it, I rubbed peppermint oil all over myself, even accidentally getting some in my eyes, because I was worried I would wake up with it on my face. Or how paranoid I get with moldy food after some bad experiences. I have a chronically ill mother who was forced to clean her house as a kid, too, so I was raised to be clean freak and germaphob. Any ways, what about you all? What’s your deepest fear that you never realized you had until heavy reflection? 😄

"I can be a home for what loves me..."

"i asked chatgpt-" well i asked the wasp nest in my attic, its song is loud and beautiful and i am afraid but it still called u a bitch

anyway a new tarot piece! i think i might've died on this one, yay. i couldn't let go of the black n white version so imma add it here just for myself. jane is one of my faves in terms of statements, so i just had to include her. also still not sure if i should just throw jonah as the emperor.

anyway yea, in my attic, straight up jorkin it. and by "it", heh, let's just say there is a wasps nest in my attic
