I'm A Hardcore Fan And My Eyes Bled Through Most Of It, So I Can Only Imagine What It Does To Normal

I'm a hardcore fan and my eyes bled through most of it, so I can only imagine what it does to normal readers' brains.

started reading art garfunkel’s memoir on the train. gayest straight man alive. no wonder he’s bi

This really speaks to me ✨

I have been wracked with fear and anxiety, tying into the grief I have been feeling for weeks.

A few nights ago I found myself unable to disengage from the fear. I cried out to the Netjeru for help, and found myself at the feet of Ipet. Her domain was the sky, and I could see the stars above and below me.

She comforted me, held me as I cried. She soothed me, and beckoned me to look at the space around us.

"See how brightly the sky shines for us? Each star burns and burns, tearing itself apart to produce such bright light. Is this what you are doing to yourself? Why must you tear yourself apart to shine for others and give them light?

"Stars will not burn forever- eventually they stall and falter, out of fuel and life. Do not burn yourself out like this. You have so much around you, feed your ka. Nurture yourself. Find what fuels you and move forward towards it."

LMAO I SAW THIS ON PINTEREST

This is beautiful. ☀️

"You are Amun, the Lord of the silent,

Who comes at the voice of the poor;

When I call to you in my distress,

You come to answer me,

To give breath to him who is wretched,

To rescue me from bondage...

Though the servant was disposed to do evil,

The Lord is disposed to forgive.

The Lord of Thebes spends not a whole day in anger,

His wrath passes in a moment, none remains.

His breath comes back to us in mercy,

Amun returns apon his breeze..."

Paul or Art who do you like more? Artie

Paul or Art with which one can you identify more? Artie

Why? I find myself in many of the things he said through the years, and how he behaved (based on what one can tell from the outside, of course).

Do you ship them? I'm the fuckin' captain of the ship, mate.

What would be your role in Alice in Wonderland? The Cheshire Cat, obviously.

Singing or playing guitar? Singing, maybe strumming lazily

What’s your favourite album? Impossible choice... but if I did have to choose only one, it'd be Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.

What song of them is the first one that comes in your head right now? Flowers Never Bend With the Rainfall

What is (currently) your favourite song of them? Their live cover of That Silver-Haired Daddy of Mine

Hiking with Art or baseball with Paul? Hiking with Art and then baseball with Paul?

Causing that they argue and forever split up or never meet them? Never meet them

Touching (and messing) Art’s hair or hugging Paul? Ah. I have similar hair to Artie, so I can mess with mine. I see no use in hugging Paul either, though. Making them hug each other, maybe?

Getting Art’s beautiful voice or getting Paul’s talent to write songs? Art's voice

Get marriage to Art/Paul or let Art and Paul marry? I'd celebrate their wedding tomorrow, if only they were willing.

Who is hotter Paul or Art? They are insanely hot when they're together.

Which one would you marry? Paul or Art Uh... neither?

Art as math teacher or Paul as English teacher? I've always hated math, so... Paul as English teacher.

How did you get into the S&G fandom? I discovered them throught my dad's audiocassette of the Concert in Central Park (yes, I'm old), and their sound knocked me head over feet. I was about 11, and internet wasn't really a thing yet, so I discovered the fandom a few years later, through Art's website forum. Ah, memories.

What was your first song you heard for them? I have vivid memories of The Boxer in Central Park, but it probably wasn't the very first I heard, only the first I remember hearing.

Where and why did you heard your first song of them? In my dad's car, because he was listening to them (thanks dad).

What do you love most about the fandom? The fact that we're as weird as they are, as it should be. Love you guys!

What’s you fave solo album? (One from Artie and one from Paul) Another tough choice. I'd go with either Angel Clare, Watermark or Everything Waits to be Noticed (I can't choose!) from Artie and Hearts and Bones from Paul.

What’s your fave of their solo songs? (One from Artie and one from Paul) The Thread from Artie, and Under African Skies with Miriam Makeba from Paul

Did you ever read a fanfic of them? I read them all the time.

If yes, which and did you liked it? Almost all those on AO3. Most I liked, few I didn't. Last I re-read is Rain by alone_tonight, which I loved.

Did you like this Q&A? A lot!

I thought Freddie and Deaky used to wear short shorts. I didn't expect them on Artie. Combined with his sexy naughty bitchy silly pose, it's something to see indeed.

I won't speak of Paul because my eyes hurt enough already.

Appreciation of Art Garfunkel in Simon & Garfunkel merch - and shorts.
