"Lay all your love on me" slaps 24/7/365. It opens like a hymn. It turns into a bop. It makes you feel empowered and frenzied. That song is invigorating.

this week, jonah and i discovered our new favorite sub-genre is "MUSIC FOR BEING CHASED WITHIN A CASTLE."
it has two components:
- gothic elements
- dance beat
currently the best example is ABBA's "Lay All Your Love On Me"
BDG responding to himself:
a seasonal reminder that if you need a good playlist for a halloween party, might I suggest CASTLE CHASE MUSIC?

Of Pomegranates and Unicorns
What if unicorns were ice age cryptids? Composition based on the 14th century tapestry, The Unicorn Rests in a Garden. The unicorn is an elasmotherium, a wooly rhinocerous that once roamed Eurasia.

The ‘unicorn’ has clearly stomped its way into a small fenced paddock, leaving ruin in its wake. The pomegranate tree from which the unicorn snacked is falling over. Regardless, the unicorn wears a beautiful blue collar studded with gems as well as a gold chain twining around the tree.]

*gets dressed up to spend time in the woods alone*
once at dawn i dressed up in my regency suit and went for a walk in the woods where i heard someone go “oh” (a little like a moan) and i got terrified i’d interrupted someone dogging or something so i immediately tried to walk away before i saw the person in question, who was just walking their dog (dogging in a sense!) and i got even more scared because they were wearing black skinny jeans and a black hoodie so they looked like they had very long slender arms and legs, and both of us were really shaken so i quickly tried to get out of sight. anyway i forgot i was wearing full 1810s regencywear complete with hat and probably looked significantly more like a ghost than they did. remember you’re never alone in the woods
imagine walking your dog in the woods and seeing an obvious Regency-era ghost notice you and bolt out of sight, visibly shaken
I'm CRYING this is hilarious

I think the shoes are cool, but also kind of ugly. I am one of those people who has very strong opinions about fashion.
ETA: I just wanted to add one thing: those shoes are pretty short (like, I wouldn’t really call them “flatforms,” although a platform does look like that)
EDIT: another fun feature: they are very small on the platform
Those look dangerous
The most dangerous place to walk in would probably be somewhere between the ankle and the knee.
(For reference, I am 5′2″ and wear a 13″ jacket.)
