And years from now at night, that storm will break. You'll step outside.

Adding another to this series two years after the last. Based on “Welly Boots” by The Amazing Devil.

I've been thinking a lot about Ulder and Wyll lately.

It's hard not to get overly personal when approaching that. The relationship one has with one's parents will always creep in, or the relationship one wishes one had, and the reaction Wyll gets from Ulder when you rescue him from the Iron Throne is vile. The idea of saying those things to your child's face turns my stomach. It's meant to.

It was exploring the tree when you get back to camp, and finally actually looking at some of the harsher things you can say to him, that brought a bit more light to it. If you say "bet you feel like a real bastard" or... whatever the exact phrasing is, I don't know how to find it right now, he says he does. The heavy judgement he levels at others weighs on him, too. He doesn't spare himself, and after that moment, the few scraps of information we get (honestly, fuck you, Larian) do show him trying his damdenest to fix the damage he's done.

He should have listened to Wyll. He loved his son and he knew what kind of a man he'd raised. But. We cannot fill his fuck-up with everything we don't like about our parents. Wyll forgives him. Wyll is perhaps too forgiving and too harsh on himself. It's part of what makes him such a fantastic character. But he does forgive him, and the more I think about that and the bits of lore we can dig up from the descriptions of his weapons and the journal of loving memories that Ulder locked away when— what? when it became too painful to look at? The more I have to wonder. I don't know how much of the outside lore Larian bothered with. I don't know how much of the outside lore survived WotC running around with shears.

I keep thinking about Wyll and Ulder, up at dawn, sitting on the wall overlooking the harbor and talking about the seven years they missed. It would be hard. Cutting Ulder off entirely might be easier, but it might not be better, and it definitely is not what Wyll wants. So they sit and they talk, and Ulder keeps pardoning fists who followed a tyrant who turned their fear against them and gave them an excuse to indulge in their easiest, lowest impulses. When Wyll has children of his own, it probably gets harder for a while.

I don't know what the ending of this is. I am absolutely not commenting on how anyone should handle their relationships with their parents. I'm very grateful to the people whose writing got me to slow down and look a little harder.

I think it would be nice for Wyll to get his father back, after everything.

Me, self respecting: I would never be a groupie for some guy in a band I've never met, girls really throw themselves at rockstars and cry and scream to get to meet them? Have posters of them all over their room? How do you fall that in love with some guy who makes music—

Joey Batey from The Amazing Devil: (sings Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace) (sings Inkpot Gods) (sings Rockrose and Thistle) (sings Welly Boots) (sings Fair)

Me, suddenly twirling my hair: obviously that doesn't apply to YOU, pookie, omg stawwwp...

realized I entirely forgot to post this one!!

it took a lot longer than I thought it would (mostly because I took a couple-month-long break from working on it) but I finished it up last week! It abstractly represents most of the concepts, feelings, or imagery in the horror and the wild album. I’d be happy to describe my choices if anyone’s interested!

Did a thing today.

[stitching-through-life]

My first attempt at an embroidery project that I actually finished, and my first time trying satin stitching!

I wanted to try something small for my first time trying this again in so long, and I think it turned out pretty well! Also, the fabric is more of a greenish blue than the photos are making it seem, I couldn’t quite get the camera to cooperate with it.

Inspired by and lyrics from “Welly Boots” by The Amazing Devil! (My TAD blog is over at @showerday )

God I'm so good at pretending idc up until the very exact moment in which Welly Boots starts playing and then the ancient grief washes over me like a wet blanket

[lifedeathtimespace]

The fact that you only hear Madeleine softly in the background during the "I know you're strong enough to do this" part of Welly Boots is something I'll never get over. She's just an echo in the background, forever overshadowed by the screaming memory of somebody long lost. The only time she can break through and be heard is when she's using the strength that Joey saw in her. And now he's gone, the only connection they have is in his absence. The only bond left comes from the fact that they'll never get to have one. You're strong enough to do this on your own, but only because you have to be.

Welly Boots by the Amazing Devil except it’s Arthur imagining the life he never had with Faroe.

I’ll see myself out

[verkomy]

this song reminds me of thorin and dís

It's like I've gone off to the coast Left you behind just standing there Pretending not to see your ghost If only you could hear my voice But you are screaming far too loud to hear me swear Just because I left doesn't mean that I'm not still there

How could you leave me here?" you'll scream And louder, I'll scream back to you from that unknown And say "I know you're strong enough to do this on your"

And you'll look up at the storm You'll say "I've been so scared You left me here behind, do you not care? How the fuck am I supposed to carry on without you here?"
