Just a reminder that listening to Hozier and not caring about politics is not something you can do. You can't listen to his music and not care about the world. You can't just ignore the political messages in his music. A big part of Hozier as an artist, and as a person, is bringing awareness to different issues and standing up for human rights. You can make jokes about him being otherworldly and a tree man because yes, a lot of his romance and morbid songs surround the physical earth it self but you cannot take away the years he's spent discussing human rights issues. He didn't spend 10 fucking years creating incredible albums riddled with songs like Take Me To Church, Nina Cried Power, Foreigner's God, Cherry Wine, and Eat Your Young just to have the political context, a.k.a the heart and soul of those songs, to he ignored. His "aesthetic" is not fairies and forests and skinny white girls in pretty dresses, his "aesthetic" is confronting the government and its corruption to shine light on issues that have been ignored for decades. You can't listen to Hozier and claim to love his music while not paying attention to the world around you.

happy valentine's day, friends! 💜
a week or so ago i ran a bunch of polls on what kind of shadowgast picture i should draw for v-day, and y'all have helped me build something really fun! especially with the three winners of the color poll (purple, teal, and orange!). i don't know how much of a 'regular shadowgast' this picture has turned out to be (regular shadowgast are probably studying ancient tomes in a dusty library as we speak), but let's say that i am giving you the plot bunny gift of figuring out the setting of this scene 😏
tip jar!

The fact that butched tongue is the least listened to song on unreal unearth is very telling.

I am neither Team "Aziraphale Is The Asshole" nor am I Team "Aziraphale Defense Squad."
I'm the secret third option: Team "Aziraphale is a flawed complicated messy traumatized character who has frequently fucked things up and made morally questionable choices and I'm rooting for him anyway because I don't think any of those things make him unforgivable, the bad guy, or undeserving of a happy ending. But he still did those things and I'm not interested in explaining them away as something else, actually, because a flawed protagonist who has fucked things up but still gets there in the end and is loved and forgiven is really important to me, actually."
But that's not quippy enough, I guess. Maybe I'll start a one-person effort to popularize a tag like "flawed protagonist aziraphale" or "let aziraphale have flaws" or something else in that vein.
I don't know, the more polarized and shouty this site gets about Aziraphale the more depressing it is and the less I want to post about GO (other than to reblog all the delightful fanart I get to see on here, y'all are so talented sdfklghskjfg). I came here because I thought this at least had a slim chance of being the nuanced conversations site but it's kind of becoming a drag.
