NEW ALBUM STUFF

So, I am sure very few people will see or care about this but I did want to post a small update because I've shifted some things around and what I initially thought would be two EPs fit better as one album. So this is what the tracklist looks like currently.

Elysium

  1. The River
  2. Sweet Tears
  3. Hazy Dreams of Hell
  4. Death’s Embrace
  5. Part of Me
  6. The Lonely Ghost Beneath an Unmarked Grave
  7. Confessions of Torment

I'm looking at POSSIBLY a spring release but it takes time to release these things and I want to make this one the best album yet. I am not 100% sure on the tracklist, there are a couple songs I may shift around or remove, but this is the basic gist of it. Some of the songs are connected (The River and Sweet Tears, HDoH and Death's Embrace) but they will stand on their own outside the rest of the album.

I'm designing some album merchandise using Fourthwall- t-shirts, buttons, etc., and I am so excited!! They should be out around the time of the album, and I'll make a post when they are.

LYRIC PREVIEWS I'm not done with all the lyrics but here's a few of my favorite ones to wet your appetite for the full songs. Theories welcome :)

  • "Were you a human soul or a contaminant?" (The River)
  • "Pulled like a marionette to the water, the first of the sinful lambs to the slaughter" (The River)
  • "I remember you laughing long ago, my face in shades of indigo" (Sweet Tears)
  • "I want you here, this dream of mine, your voice a soothing lullaby" (Hazy Dreams of Hell)
  • "I dream of hills and poppy fields, I hear you in the rain" (Hazy Dreams of Hell)
  • "The reaper will lower his scythe with silver hair and golden eyes" (Death's Embrace)
  • "Apathy's in your nature just like you are in mine" (Part of Me)
  • "Why is everyone so scared, why is everyone so scared of me?" (The Lonely Ghost Beneath an Unmarked Grave)
  • "The author of this world, he didn't think that it would hurt when he didn't give me anything, anything I deserved" (The Lonely Ghost Beneath an Unmarked Grave)
  • "Your heart is withering away, you have made misery your home" (Confessions of Torment)

Hey, y'all! My friend, Briggs, could use some support this holiday season. I ask that y'all please reblog this and support them, if able. They're currently taking emergency art commissions. At the moment, Briggs is unable to work due to an injury with their foot (it's broken), so this is a temporary problem, however, it's incredibly important that they reach their goal ASAP. The link to their Instagram post is below, and I attached their information as well! If desired, you can also reach them at their Tumblr account @marigoldsandmischief !

Take care, and happy holidays! Every reblog counts. 🧡

Hylas and the Water Nymphs by Henrietta Rae (1909)

This art piece always breaks my heart because this is Hylas, the male lover of Hercules who was drinking water by the river when the water nymphs pulled him down into the river and drowned him.
Hylas and Hercules were aboard the Argos with Jason and the Argonauts before this happened. They stopped mid travel for a travel break and Hylas died calling out to Hercules who couldn’t find him.
In the end Hercules desperately searched for him that the Argos left without him.
The Roman poet Propertius wrote a beautiful poem warning his friend Gallus about having a beautiful male lover which will eventually leave him for women due to Roman societal expectations thus he’d be symbolically taken away from him by nymphs in the same way Hylas was taken away from Hercules by the water nymphs.

Here is a small snippet of the poem:

Diana Awakening Apollo by Carl Bertling

I cannot describe how obsessed I am with this painting.

Here you have Lady Artemis. Regal, majestic, brimming with divine breath in her role as lightbringer.

And then Lord Apollon - 😭
