little covers from the past two months or so

Rufus Wainwright (1998) by Rufus Wainwright CD insert

irl friend said this was his favorite cover i’ve done even though it was a one take acoustic thing that i recorded on a whim because the song was stuck in my head. so! shining review! which means i’m posting it to share with you

The character I’m gonna be playing in my dear friend’s D&D campaign in a few months! She’s a threadborn (from the new crooked moon sourcebook) and a light domain cleric - her name is Twillabee Mending and my DM is helping make her backstory more tragic every day

courtesy of a friend and his digital camera here are maybe the best nauta pictures to ever exist

irl friend said he’d like to hear an acoustic cover of this by me and i decided today was a nice day to do it. lyrics below

by god, i’d love to love it here / the only home i’ve known
and sure, i’d miss the evening mist / and glistening cobblestones
but it gets late at ten to eight / and leaving’s in my bones

i’ve yearned for years to run from here / to meet a brighter sky
and leave awhile this fading isle / where good things learn to die
but saying this, i’d be remiss / to think i wouldn’t cry

by god, i’d love to love it here / the only home i’ve known
i’ll miss the cold and sayings old / and glistening cobblestones
but it’s our way to never stay / and leaving’s in my bones

also these are shit pictures but i finally finished this darling school project. embroidering on felt is a nightmare. selfie for size comparison. my chicken

i am currently stuck in a lined journal (as opposed to the half centimeter pointgrid i adore) and it is remarkably frustrating beyond even what i expected from having to write in journal lines after two years of pointgrid. but somehow it is making iambic meter come very easily to me
