Brat for the Universe
[image description]
Woods is a White transmasc person with a buzzcut and a gray beanie sitting crosslegged on a light mahogany-ish hardwood floor. Their back rests on white wainscot paneling. They are holding a lilac lined journal. There is a black Jansport backpack to the left of them. It is open with a shoebox-sized plastic bin filled with tarot decks - like the Citadel tarot deck - and mason jars filled with sea glass and pebbles peaking out. Lying face up on the floor in front of the backpack is the Seeds of Wisdom from the Divine Feminine Tarot Deck, underneath which Lecoq’s The Moving Body is sandwiched between a yellow journal and a white journal. To their right is an unopened black journal. They are wearing loose, black linen overalls and a black tank top with white stitching outlining the straps. Draped halfway down their arms is a black and white plaid button-up shirt. They are wearing Cruel Ruby colored lipstick.
In this video, you can see that Woods has black Adidas with white soles on. Their button-up lies behind them and, on the left, their linen overall strap is draped off of their shoulder.
[lyrics]
what if I told you
i’m ready I know
what I want
what if I said
you’re a treasure
X marks the spot
all the pieces
you think are broke
are just stained glass
you’re a cathedral
I’ll kneel at your altar
make sure you know
you’re wanted by me
never ghosted,
just haunted
by your beauty
and we’ll dance
in the flames
of the binaries
they wanted us
framed in
yeah we’ll wave
to the devil
cause hell
is just heaven
when i’m with you
all those sins they say
should be inscribed
on our souls
are just about as
relevant as those
damn missing bones
thrown into the graves
we refuse to climb into
and we’ll wave to the
garden of eden
cause we’ve got our own
fertile soil we’re seeding
there’s no worlds
only new suns
I feel like i’m
under one
under you
and I know people
will be clutching
their pearls
but they’re the same
ones that said girls
just wanna have fun
well i’m sorry ma’am
I just don’t wanna
be one
don’t wanna be one,
I wanna be two
maybe three,
but right now
i’m just lookin at you
just lookin at you
won’t ask for permission
nor forgiveness
cause I lost religion
a long time ago
but I never lost faith
in a love
that dreams of
creating together, not
dividing and leaving
traces behind
yeah it’s a quantum
it’s a fractal
it’s a primordial
kind of love
i’ve got on my mind
and we’ll dance
in the flames
they wanted to
cave us in
yeah you were my tower
I guess now you’re
my religion
you’re the one
thing on my
to-do list
to-love list
to-want list
I never forgot
i’m ready
I know what
I want
(Vocally imitates falling off a cliff, follows the fall with their eyes and indicates surprise when whatever fell hits the bottom.)
(Giggles.)
you’re a treasure
and x marks the spot
(Chuckles.)
I didn’t know we’d be going all the way down there - I guess that’s hell!
(Pats the floor once.)
It’s just a floor.
(Winks, gets up to turn the camera off.)
