"if i was orpheus i would simply not turn around" yes you would. if you were orpheus and you loved eurydice, you would. to love someone is to turn around. to love someone is to look at them. whichever version of the myth — he hears her stumble, he can't hear her at all, he thinks he's been tricked — he turns around because he loves her. that's why it's a tragedy. because he loves her enough to save her. because he loves her so much he can't save her. because he will always, always turn around. "if i was orpheus i would simply —" you wouldn't be orpheus. you wouldn't be brave enough to walk into the underworld and save the person you love. be serious

So my friend is a huge fob fan and it was her birthday recently and as one does I stalked her blog for present ideas. Well she reblogged your kintsugi kid comic and the line "and it feels like I'm fighting for something I've long forgotten how to believe in" stuck out to me. So I sketched up a broken teacup, plopped the lyrics on it and turned it into a sticker. I had /assumed/ that the lyrics were in the song (I listen to fob but haven't gotten around to listening to the entirety of the new album yet) but since she's already received a sticker pack I decided to post the final drawing online but I thought I should actually listen to the song before I post it, and the lyrics aren't there?! Like if you came up with that yourself good on ya. It sounds like something Patrick would sing.
But yeah I spent the last 45 minutes stress searching online for those exact lyrics and came up with nothing
(also I haven't posted the picture yet, I don't want to take credit for lyrics/poetry that you wrote)
hello anon!
i think it's very thoughtful of you to customize an fob sticker for your friend as a gift!! it's also very cool! i would have loved to receive something like that !!
also yeah omg the comic i made is basically me just filling in the blanks of kintsugi kid with my own brainrot and feelings lmao i'm very much in love with fob's lyricism so i guess that kinda seeps into my writing a lot. although i do have a lot of other writing influences,, fall out boy along with a bunch of other emo lyricists is probably among my biggest artistic influences,, so i suppose what you said would make sense-- that the thing i wrote kinda sounded like a convincing fob lyric lmao thats very nice to hear actually lol it validates me so much as an emo kid sksksk
feel free to post the sticker pic btw! i would love to see what you made !! you can just mention my username in the hashtags or in the caption either way is fine :)
not a lot, just forever intertwined, sewn together based on a fic i wrote: Nothing and Nowhere

give up what you love before it does you in
i'll love you forever (hell, i've loved you all along)
gaza has just been completely cut off from the world.
after increased intensity of israeli aistrikes tonight, the last cable providing communications was destroyed. telecommunications have been completely cut off. they cannot reach one another. they cannot reach paramedics. the red crescent society has completely lost contact with their branch in gaza. nobody inside can reach anyone inside, and especially not outside of gaza to tell us what is going on. this is a complete atrocity.
please dont stop talking about palestine . i do not trust israel and there has been multiple ceasefires theyve completely ignored . if we do happen to see iof soldiers leave and no longer occupy palestine , they would still need to rebuild . this includes medical aid and addressing airborne diseases , finding displaced families and reuniting them , etc ... their entire infrastructure needs to be rebuilt so please do not forget about palestine and do not let the US take credit for their liberation .
time loop where i keep dying to save you but clearly the loop just wants me to accept your death. im not going to but i can tell that's what it wants
