wip music whoops-it's-not-monday-anymore 😬

no writing today since we're fresh off the heels of a fic update for katc and most of my writing for it right now is uh. bare bones to say the least. and while i do have an askbox prompt i'm working on, its close enough that i would prefer to publish it once it's ready. so you're all getting music instead.

tagged by @cassietrn, @inafieldofdaisies and @simplegenius042 to share some music inspiring my wips.

here's a track for syb's energy in the first/current arc (ie, the holland valley arc) of katc

Why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love put a gun in my hand? In my bed, in my head, in my hand

Was it for redemption? Was it for revenge? Was it for the bottle? Was it for the ledge? Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge? Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?

and under the cut is one that's about my babygirl's enneagram type that just. hits really hard and makes me feel things (especially if interpreting the lyrics as her thinking about/talking to jacob ;w;)

Now you won't see all that I have to lose And all I've lost in the fight to protect it I won't let you in, I swore never again I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected

I want to break these bones 'til they're better I want to break them right and feel alive You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong My healing needed more than time

When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things I see the familiar I was little, I was weak, I was perfect, too Now I'm a broken mirror

But I can't let you see all that I have to lose All I've lost in the fight to protect it I can't let you in, I swore never again I can't afford to let myself be blindsided

I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart And all I want is to trust you Show me how to lay my sword down For long enough to let you through

Here I am, pry me open What do you want to know? I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough To hold the door shut And bury my innocence But here's a map, here's a shovel Here's my Achilles' heel

I'm all in, palms out I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in

tagging: @marivenah, @statichvm, @trench-rot, @harmonyowl, @fourlittleseedlings, @carlosoliveiraa, @purplehairsecretlair, @aceghosts, @adelaidedrubman, @finding-comfort-in-rain, @socially-awkward-skeleton, @voidika, @locustandwildhoney, @testyfestyenthusiast, @strangefable, @alexxmason, @deputyash, @josephslittledeputy, and anyone else wanting to share some music inspiring them! (taglist opt in/out)

#would love it if tumblrs formatting didn't fuck with the size of text like this but i genuinely have NO IDEA how to fix it and have it stick #anyway. i'm so normal about eight by sleeping at last as a syb song #(also. augustine is a type one enneagram for the curious)#oc: deputy sybille la roux #wip music monday #also to everyone who has tagged me or sent me things and i just. never responded. i'm sorry #i see it. i see you. and i thank you. i just have not had much bandwidth in the old noggin recently

god clone damian from clone^2 and from the clone damian au is so sleeping at last coded - specifically "eight" from the enneagram album. and clone danny from clone^2 is "two" - on his own he's "pluto" from atlas album

like look at these lyrics and tell me this isn't clone damian (and damian in general i suppose)

I remember the minute It was like a switch was flipped I was just a kid who grew up strong enough To pick this armor up And suddenly it fit God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive And I grew up too quick Now you won't see all that I have to lose And all I've lost in the fight to protect it I won't let you in, I swore never again I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected I want to break these bones 'til they're better I want to break them right and feel alive You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong My healing needed more than time When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things I see the familiar I was little, I was weak, I was perfect, too Now I'm a broken mirror

and thats only the BEGINNING of the song. here's near the ENDING of the song.

I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart And all I want is to trust you Show me how to lay my sword down For long enough to let you through Here I am, pry me open What do you want to know? I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough To hold the door shut And bury my innocence But here's a map, here's a shovel Here's my Achilles' heel I'm all in, palms out I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in

like like look, look at that. that is so completely clone damian and his progression with his and danny's relationship.

#dpxdc #clone^2 #clone danny #dpxdc crossover #like like like LOOK at that LOOK at that that is SO clone damian ESPECIALLY in the beginning of the au #'show me how to lay my sword down for long enough to let you through'#rahhhhhh #two is clone danny to damian in this au but pluto is him on his own #i NEED to share this with the world like FOLKS

Here I am, pry me open

What do you want to know?

I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough

To hold the door shut

And bury my innocence

But here's a map, here's a shovel

Here's my Achilles' heel....

I remember the minute It was like a switch was flipped I was just a kid who grew up strong enough To pick this armor up And suddenly it fit

God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive And I grew up too quick

Now you won't see all that I have to lose And all I've lost in the fight to protect it I won't let you in, I swore never again I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected

I want to break these bones 'til they're better I want to break them right and feel alive You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong My healing needed more than time

When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things I see the familiar I was little, I was weak, I was perfect, too Now I'm a broken mirror

I'm all in, palms out I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in

I'ma shake the ground with all my might And I will pull my whole heart up to the surface For the innocent, for the vulnerable And I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose

And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, give my sweat An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again Invincible like I've never been

bea is sleeping at last - eight

get rec'd gayboy 😔😔 i don't know what i expected

"i was just a kid who grew up strong enough/ to pick this armour up/ and suddenly it fit/ God"

newbea watching the one-two punch of Mary & Shannon. burning up at the sight of it, like an object slipping into a decaying orbit towards some immense object. towards love.

knowing that it would be hers, someday. this weight that Mary carries. Beatrice knows it like she knows the reach of her left hook; the anticipation of a blow. the inevitability of loss.

God. fitting. ill-fitting.

"i want to break these bones 'til they're better/ i want to break them right and feel alive/ you were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong/ my healing needed more than time"

yeah, maybe she needed to fall off that motorbike. maybe she needed to break to come back together properly, wrapped in the love (hoodie) of those who love her.

"show me how to lay my sword down/ for long enough to let you through/ here i am, pry me open"

"here's a map, here's a shovel/ here's my achilles' heel/ i'm all in, palms out/ i'm at your mercy now and i'm ready to begin."

ava. a girl, a church. a girl, a roof overhead; a house you can't be thrown from. a house that won't collapse in on itself.

a girl like a star. a thing that burns and burns and dies, sudden, explosive. the aftermath of its death

and bea, standing as an occlusion in that bright cloud. alone again. 😔

#when i open my mouth/ i wanna tell you #but i don't know how #STOP em as if Atlas 1 & 2 aren't EMblazoned on my brain #saturn is one i have on my avatrice playlist. plus neptune #casper song recs #pvp with em #but it's just me getting my ass kicked

Have you considered "Eight" by Sleeping at Last as Grian's song? Every time I hear "But here's a map, here's a shovel / Here's my Achilles' heel / I'm all in, palms out / I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin" I immediately think of him. How he has such a hard time letting Scar in, especially in your fics. How he's fierce, unapologetic, but messed up at the same time.

YOU

yes absolutely this is literally the most painful revelation ever i've loved this song for years and now i will never be able to listen to it the same way again

when i see fragile things, helpless things, broken things, i see a mirror (he can't see himself as more than a reflection of where he's gone wrong)

all i want is to trust you, show me how to lay my sword down (he's trying he's trying he's trying god why is it so hard)

here's a map here's a shovel (give the power to hurt and trust they won't)

my achilles heel (a person is your weakness how terrifying is that)

i'm all in, palms out (hide your throat hide your throat no no take a deep breath and lift your chin you have to try you have to try)

i'm at your mercy now (peace he doesn't know how to keep, surrender, intimacy, dig two graves, or maybe just one and they can share)

i am strong enough to let you in (there is no glory in running away, there is the strength to lay down your arms)

i will pull my whole heart up to the surface (unbury your weakness and bear it for killing, bear it for caring)

if a line from this song ends up being a fic title of mine later you all have to pretend to be surprised

Hey! I love to listen to music that fits a theme when I’m reading, and I’ve put together a small Red Thread playlist, including the songs you’ve mentioned in notes and stuff, I was wondering if there’s any other songs that remind you of The Red Thread, and would you mind sharing them? I don’t mind a t o n of songs too, the more the merrier!!!

Oh I totally get that, I almost always have music I'm listening to that fits the theme when I'm either writing or reading! There's just something about it that puts you in a perfect mood, and sometimes I'm even looping a single song for a specific chapter, again either reading or writing it.

I actually have an entire TRT playlist on spotify if you're looking for everything I have for TRT! At this point it's about half me and half recommended songs by readers. There ARE however some standouts that I quite like that haven't mentioned in the fic I don't think. I'll ⭐ the one that I remember coming from readers! A song for the Hound of Los Angeles: Stay Alive by Hidden Citizens

I do what I need to What I have to Well, you can try To be civilized But I'm gonna stay alive

A song for the Devil and the Hound (and one of my favorites for them): Woke Up A Rebel by Reuben and the Dark

I am wild, I am lost I am sick, I am damned But I am holding redemption in the palm of my hand

A song for Matt: Death of Me by Saint Phnx

I feel it in my bones The devil's at my door So help me This will be the death of me

A song for Jane and Matt early on: War of Hearts (Acoustic) by Ruelle ⭐

I can't help but love you Even though I try not to I can't help but want you I know that I'd die without you

A song for Jane to Matt during our 'I'm hiding my secrets from Matt' arc but also works as a general song for Jane: Neptune by Sleeping at Last

Thread by thread, I come apart If brokenness is a work of art Surely this must be my masterpiece I'm only honest when it rains If I time it right, the thunder breaks When I open my mouth I wanna tell you, but I don't know how

Another powerful song by the same artist (I literally have an entire playlist just by this artist since so many fit, with special notes paid to the enneagram songs) for both Matt and Jane that encompasses both their childhoods: Eight by Sleeping at Last

Here I am, pry me open What do you want to know? I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough To hold the door shut And bury my innocence But here's a map, here's a shovel Here's my Achilles' heel

A song for Jane early on: all of the midnights album Dear Reader by Taylor Swift⭐

Dear reader, the greatest of luxuries is your secrets Dear reader, when you aim at the devil Make sure you don't miss

A song for Matt to Jane: It Will Come Back by Hozier⭐

Don't let me in with no intention to keep me Jesus Christ, don't be kind to me Honey, don't feed me, I will come back

A song from Jane to Matt: With You Til The End by Sam Tinnesz, Tommee Profitt ⭐

When your fears are not fading And there's parts of you breaking I'll hold the pieces all together with my hands Though the night feels lonely I won't leave you behind me Deep inside I know I can't

Each of those are on the playlist along with a lot of other good songs. I've started to wander through some other TRT playlists on Spotify too when I have the time, and there's some awesome songs on them, so if you're looking for even more after this, I highly recommend giving those a look, too!

#the red thread #the red thread playlist #i love that playlist because it's half me and half all ya'll and there's so many cool songs on it now #i *try* to keep from repeating an artist too much but sometimes they just FIT #taylor swift's got a ton and so do banners and sleeping at last #always happy to hear about other songs!

better to die saving lives, than to live with taking them

a star trek aos playlist

an exploration of jim kirk's life—from birth through to the end of into darkness—through song.

spotify link here and song list under read more

Oh the Places You’ll Go by I Fight Dragons

How will I keep you safe? How will you find your place?…Oh the places you'll go, with your eyes so wide | With your heart in your hand, and your sword at your side | Oh the mountains you'll move, oh the tears you'll cry | Oh the places you'll go, little love of mine…

The Valley by The Oh Hellos

We were born in the valley of the dead and the wicked…We were born in the shadow of the crimes of our fathers | Blood was our inheritance | No, we did not ask for this…

Guiltless by dodie

There is a wall in my life built by you | You opened a door that a kid shouldn't walk through | Oh, but I'm not bitter, I'm just tired | No use getting angry at the way that you're wired | Ignorant trauma in one afternoon | And I could never let you know (Ooh you'd never get it) | And now I'm the one who can't let go (Ooh don't say it's genetic)…

Sorry About Your Parents by Icon For Hire

I guess your mama didn't know the gift she got when she got you | I'm sorry about your life, you had it pretty rough | Bending over backwards, never good enough | You poor thing, it must suck to be you | And I know it's not your fault, it never is, is it?…

The World is a Very Scary Place by The Gothic Arches

The world is a very scary place, my dear. | It's hurled and it's twirled through outer space I fear. | So many ways to lose your skin in it. | The number of ways to die is infinite…You may have found my views unorthodox, | but now the wolf is at the door, it knocks

I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin

Dead Hearts by Stars

Tell me everything that happened | Tell me everything you saw | They had lights inside their eyes…Did you see the closing window? | Did you hear the slamming door? | They moved forward, and my heart died…Please, please tell me what they look like | Did they seem afraid of you? | They were kids that I once knew…

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead by Set It Off

Talk to myself, lie in the darkness so content | As the sun begins to rise, I can barely shut my eyes | This crazed, delirious mess; laughing at everything I see | My sanity is spent, just tell me where my time went | I'm losing it…

Second Child, Restless Child by The Oh Hellos

Can you hear it hanging on the wind? | Can you feel it underneath your skin? | You've got to go on, further than you've ever gone | You've got to run far from all you've ever known…

Forget and Not Slow Down by Reliant K

How many times | Can I push it aside | Is it time I befriended all the ghosts of all the things that haunt me most | So they leave me alone…I'd rather forget and not slow down | Than gather regret for the things I can't change now...

Could Have Been Me by The Struts

Don't wanna live as an untold story | Rather go out in a blaze of glory | I can't hear you, I don't fear you | I'll live now 'cause the bad die last | Dodging bullets with your broken past…

Vienna by Billy Joel

Eight by Sleeping At Last

Soap by The Oh Hellos

Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths

You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing | It's all just conjecture and gloom | And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it | Do not waste yourself on this roof...Today of all days, see | How the most dangerous thing is to love | How you will heal and you'll rise above | Crowned by an overture bold and beyond | Ah, it's more courageous to overcome…

Love Like You from Steven Universe, Cover by Caleb Hyles

Let Me Make You Proud from Tangled: The Series

Pale White Horse by The Oh Hellos

Hope of Morning by Icon For Hire

When the hope of morning starts to fade in me | I don't dare let darkness have its way with me | And the hope of morning makes me worth the fight | I will not be giving in tonight…

This Will End by The Oh Hellos

No, I am not afraid to die | It's every breath that comes before | Heartache, I've heard, is part of life And I have broken more and more But I can hope how this will end | With every line a comedy | That we could learn to love without demand | But unreserved honesty…

Forgive the Children We Once Were by Delta Rae

We grew up in golden light | Every chance to get it right | What did we do with it? It’s gone, what I had back then is gone…All the lines we knew back then, they now are faded | All the laws we once obeyed, they have betrayed us | People that I used to hate, I hardly remember | Forgive the children we once were

Eyes Open by Taylor Swift

The tricky thing is yesterday we were just children | Playing soldiers, just pretending…So here you are, two steps ahead and staying on guard | Every lesson forms a new scar...Everybody's waiting for you to break down | Everybody's watching to see the fallout | Even when you're sleeping, sleeping | Keep your eyes open…

Notos by The Oh Hellos

Ain’t No Crying by Derivakat

Hurricane by Thirty Seconds to Mars

As days go by, the night's on fire | Tell me would you kill to save a life? | Tell me would you kill to prove you're right? Crash, crash, burn, let it all burn | This hurricane's chasing us all underground…

Die For You by STARSET

I Have Made Mistakes by The Oh Hellos

We have lived in fear, and our fear has betrayed us | But we will overcome the apathy that has made us | Because we are not alone in the dark with our demons | And we have made mistakes | But we've learned from them…And oh my heart, how can I face you now? | When we both know how badly I have let you down

In Our Bedroom After the War by Stars

Someone To You by BANNERS

The Future’s Right In Front of Me by A Great Big World

I learned my lesson, it was wrong of me to look so far ahead | I'll count my blessings one by one, I'll live a life I won't regret…I walked alone, I was scared of who I knew that I could be | But there was beauty in the darkest parts of my uncertainty | And now I finally see the future's right in front of me, yeah…

#jim kirk #star trek aos #star trek #my playlists #character playlists #as an aside #achilles come down and soap are literally the most aos jim&bones songs i've ever heard #also i know there's like an abundance of oh hellos songs in here #but they're so good for NARRATIVE #also also look beyond is my favourite aos film #but 09/into darkness slot together so well narratively in terms of jim's character arc #beyond is his continuing growth After that #but 09 & into darkness are one arc in two parts #which is a long-winded way of saying that's why i cut it there lmao

🌎🔪✏️☄️💚 and 💖 for aemara?

why is there no rubbing-hands-together-evilly emoji. anyway

🌎 - will they give up the world for someone they love? is this decision easy for them?

ohhhh yes. at the end of the day, aemara is not really noble; he is distinctly selfish (said with all the love in my heart) and, if push came to shove, he would sacrifice just about anything to make sure he could keep someone he loves close to him. we all know i'm referring to anduin, though the same is true for zephya and paleri. it's not really so much about them, though he does care for and love them, but moreso about the fact that he'd fall apart if he lost them. it's a self-defense tactic more than it is a sacrifice. i could see him killing innocents for anduin. and i don't think it would be hard for him. it's so funny. he's such a hypocrite. he needs therapy

🔪 - how do they react to injury / misfortune befalling their loved ones (significant other, family, friends)? do they put themselves at blame?

scorched-earth violence, or complete meltdown, depending on the situation. sometimes both. no matter what, he blames himself. he's supposed to be able to protect EVERYONE he loves, dammit, and if he fails, even if there was no way he could do anything, he'd still somehow find a way to make it his fault.

✏️ - is there a particular quote / lyric that you associate with them?

pretty much the entirety of "eight" by sleeping at last. but particularly:

"I was just a kid who grew up strong enough to pick this armor up / And suddenly it fit"

as well as:

"I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough to hold the door shut / And bury my innocence / But here's a map, here's a shovel / Here's my Achilles' heel"

songs that make me so fucking sick in the head about him. literally i can't listen to it without immediately thinking of him and nearly bursting into tears.

☄️ - what do people assume about them? are they right?

people assume A LOT of things about him, and most of those things are wrong. some people think he's cold, and to some extent, he is, but he is genuinely so sweet and so gentle when he feels safe (which is rare). they assume he loves violence, but he doesn't; it's just the only thing he has. they assume that he'll hurt anyone if they so much as inconvenience him, but he's really not quick to anger unless you threaten someone he cares about.

and this one's a joke but i was joking about it in the car to my husband earlier so: people look at him and assume he always wants to be in control/dominant/etc because like. look at him. he's a general, and strict, and so untouchable. but he is actually so submissive behind closed doors. paleri thinks it's cute but he will vehemently deny it if anyone ever finds out. hahaha. sorry for the sex joke

💚 - what things make your oc feel comforted? hugs, kisses, food?

he does really like hugs/physical affection but it takes a lot for him to be comfortable with it with someone. but when he is comfortable with it, it makes him feel so safe. also, tea, and tending his plants, and warm food. also just sitting in the same room doing separate things with someone he loves. he likes just sitting in the same room reading separate books with anduin. it's like, "i know you're here and safe and i can protect you if i need to but i don't need to, so i just like knowing you're here with me" yknow. he's so sweet rrhrhrhhghghgh

💖 - are they a subtle or a showy lover?

he's usually a little embarrassed talking about mushy things, but if he gets a chance to show off his wife who he thinks is the most gorgeous and wonderful thing in the whole world, he'll take it. there's a scene that i wrote once where they're in a ballroom setting and he is being the biggest show-off in the entire place because he wants to show off his wife more than anything. he's not one for GRAND gestures but he will fondly make her breakfast and bring her flowers from his garden and talk about wanting to kiss the lipstick off her face if he gets bold enough. 🥰

#oc: aemara #info #anon #answers #i love him so much. god i love aemara so much AUAUUAUHGHHGHGH

Marauders - Enneagram

Remus Lupin: 9

"Still, I check my vital signs/ Choked up, I realize/ I have been less than half myself, for more than half my life

It looks like emphaty, to understand all the sides/ But I'm just trying to find myself, through someone else's eyes

Wake up, roll up your sleeves/ There is a chain reaction in your heart/ Muscle memory/ Remembering who you are

We were born to try/ To see each other through/ To know and love ourselves and others well/ Is the most difficult and meaningful work we'll ever do"

Sirius Black: 8

"I remember the minute/It was like a switch was flipped/ I was just a kid who grew up strong enough/ To pick this armor up/ And suddenly it fit

God that was so long ago, long ago, long ago/ I was little, I was weak, I was perfectly naive/ And I grew up too quick

When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things/ I see the familiar/ I was little, I was weak, I was perfect too/ Now I'm a broken mirror

Here I am, pry me open/ What do you want to know/ I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough/ To hold the door shut and bury my innocence/ But here's a map, here's a shovel/ Here's my Achilles' heel"

Regulus Black: 3

"Maybe I've done enough/ Your golden child grew up/ Maybe this trophy isn't real love/ And with or without it I'm good enough

I finally see myself/ Unabridged and overwhelmed/ A mess of a story I'm ashamed to tell/ I'm slowly learning how to break this spell

I only want what's real/ Set aside the highlight reel/ And leave my greatest failures on display/ Worthy of love, anyway "

James Potter: 7

" How nice it'd be/ If we could try everything/ I'm serious, let's make a list and just began/ What about danger/ So what/ What about risk/ Let's climb this mountain before we cross that bridge

How wonderful to see a smile on your face/ It costs farewell tears for a welcome home parade/ A secret handshake between me and my one life/ I'll find the silver lining no matter what the cost

But I want to be here/ Truly be here/ To watch the ones I love bloom/ And I want to make room/ To love them through and through and through and through/ The slow and barren seasons too

I feel hope/ Deep in my bones/ Tomorrow will be beautiful "

Lily Evans: 2

"Sweetheart, you look a little tired/ When did you last eat/ Come in and make yourself right at home/ Stay as long as you need/ Tell me, is something wrong/ If something's wrong, you can count on me

I know exactly how the rule goes/ Put my mask on first/ No I don't want to talk about myself/ Tell me where it hurts/ I just want to build you up, build you up/ Till you're good as new/ And maybe one day I will get around to fixing myself too

Like a force to be reckoned with/ A mighty ocean or a gentle kiss/ I will love you with every single thing that I have/ Like a tidal wave I'll make a mess/ Or calm waters if that serves you best/ I will love you without any strings attached/ I will love you without a single string attached"

Peter Pettigrew: 6

" Oh God I'm so tired/ Of being afraid

I want to take shelter/ But I'm ready, ready to fight/ Somewhere in the middle, I feel a little paralyzed/ Maybe I'm stronger than i realize

And no matter what/ Somehow we'll be okay

Don't be afraid"

Sweetheart, you look a little tired When did you last eat? Come in and make yourself right at home Stay as long as you need Tell me, is something wrong? If something's wrong, you can count on me You know I'll take my heart clean apart If it helps yours beat It's okay if you can't find the words Let me take your coat And this weight off of your shoulders "Two" - Sleeping At Last

Here I am, pry me open What do you want to know? I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough To hold the door shut And bury my innocence But here's a map, here's a shovel Here's my Achilles' heel I'm all in, palms out I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in "Eight" - Sleeping At Last

Hi Fawn! I am back with yet another itbotb blorbo song rec. This time, I offer you Eight by Sleeping At Last.

This song gives me significant Future Turtle vibes.

This bit especially makes me think of Blue:

I was just a kid who grew up strong enough To pick this armor up And suddenly it fit God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive And I grew up too quick Now you won't see all that I have to lose And all I've lost in the fight to protect it

Blue lost everything in the war against the Krang, but now back in the past he has so many things that he can't bear the thought of losing. Casey, his brothers in this timeline, even Leo.

These lines, however, remind me more of Orange/Michelangelo:

I want to break these bones 'til they're better I want to break them right and feel alive.

[...]

I'ma shake the ground with all my might And I will pull my whole heart up to the surface For the innocent, for the vulnerable And I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, give my sweat An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken

Orange is ready to tear himself apart to salvage whatever he can from his native timeline. He'll tear reality apart to get his brothers back if he has to.

Hope you're having a good day!

AS ALWAYS, YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, I LOVE MUSIC AND I LOVE ANALYZING SO THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!!

I was just a kid who grew up strong enough To pick this armor up And suddenly it fit

This especially feels like Blue as he lost his own Raph. Without warning, he suddenly HAD to be the leader, HAD to be the oldest turtle, and that's when he took up Raph's role. When he decided he had to become Raph.

When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things I see the familiar I was little, I was weak, I was perfect, too Now I'm a broken mirror

And THIS screams Blue and Leo so hard it hurts. Leo is so small and so hurt and Blue can't ignore that Leo is still HIM.

I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart And all I want is to trust you Show me how to lay my sword down For long enough to let you through

Blue has been hiding so much for so long and it's tearing him apart. He KNOWS it's tearing him apart. He doesn't WANT to be the way he is, but he doesn't know how to change either. Neither of them realize this yet, but Leo's healing is actually doing a lot to teach Blue how to heal and let others in again.

Here I am, pry me open What do you want to know? I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough To hold the door shut And bury my innocence But here's a map, here's a shovel Here's my Achilles' heel

I'm all in, palms out I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in

This part works really well for Orange as well. He tries to give Mikey as much warning as he can, he doesn't want to hurt the kid with that knowledge, but he also doesn't want to hide from him.

Orange wants to do everything he can to stop Mikey from becoming him, but he also knows he can't really stop him, and he's hoping that the more open he is with what he's been through, the more Mikey will be prepared and be able to avoid the same fate.

I'ma shake the ground with all my might And I will pull my whole heart up to the surface For the innocent, for the vulnerable And I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose

And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, give my sweat An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again Invincible like I've never been

There will never be a price too high for Orange to pay for his family. He'd destroy himself, he'd let the world burn, he'd give anything possible to give again and again and again, and even as an empty shell of a person with nothing left he wouldn't regret it.

Ship Song Tag Game!

(do we have a name for this I dunno that sounded so awkward)

I’ve had a week, but I’ve been looking forward to sharing my favorite Redacted songs! Thank you, @bratty-telepath , for the tag 💜

I didn't care much how long I lived/ But I swear I thought I dreamed her/ She never asked me once about the wrong I did

Erik tried to kill my Alexis/Christian dreams, but too bad, I’m a Pisces. Y’all know not the escapist denial I am capable of. I love all Hozier songs, but I especially love listening to this from Alexis’s point of view, her being at her deepest and lowest and being loved no matter what.

I ask if you play D&D/ And your face lights up like you've woken up/ From this endless fucking nightmare of pretending this is you/ This is us, this is me and this how we're meant to be

This is the Freelancer/Lasko song, and it’s also just so beautiful. It’s literally about two awkward, lonely people breaking through societal convention and small talk and getting to the real parts of each other; I love it.

Hi/ I'm your friendly neighborhood poltergeist/ Nobody ever looks at me twice/ I'm used to being see-through/ But it feels so bad when it happens with you/ Wish you'd see me the way I see you

This is just Regulus pining before he reveals himself to Doll, and it’s so good.

You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue/ But you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky/ And you decided purple just wasn't for you

My favorite Marcus/Love song. I actually based some of my Love design off this song where their eyes are a glowing, bright, cybernetic blue before the code activation and pink during it. After the osmium undone, their eyes stay purple and can’t be changed back.

But here's a map, here's a shovel/ Here's my Achilles' heel/ I'm all in, palms out/ I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin/ I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in

This is a song specifically about Type 8 Enneagram, which I do think Sam and Darlin both are, about having had to be strong and tough and solid your whole life and having the courage to be soft and vulnerable with the people who love you. It’s also gorgeous, it really builds.

They don't know you/ Not like I do/ Only you and I were meant to be

I love a good, heckin yandere song more than the next person, and this one is my favorite. It fuckin bops and is a great Ivan/Baby song.

Take me back to the night we met/ And then I can tell myself/ What the hell I'm supposed to do/ And then I can tell myself/ Not to ride along with you

Now hear me out- Listen to this song. Imagine it from Sam’s perspective. Imagine it from Alexis’s. Think about how they’re both different but both so sad, and get back to me. It’s haunting and melancholy, and I love it.

Get hitched in a chapel in Vegas/ Maybe get rich, life is a craps game/ And I take my cue, from you/ On what you wanna do 'bout a last name/ It's not so bad to be a Watsky

A fun song I really like that I think also works for Vincent/Lovely. It just kind of gives the vibe of him knowing that they’ve been through a lot, that this isn’t how he wanted their love story to go, but he’s in, he’s behind them and so is his whole family.

You could kill me and you should/ I'm an idiot for thinking/ This was anything but blood/ On the wall, on the couch/ On the corner of my mouth/ You must like being the victim/ You've done nothing to get out

Quinn and Darlin’s “dalliance” was almost definitely really toxic and bloody and sexy, and this is the soundtrack to it, and I want to see it.

Then I see you, you're walking 'cross the campus/ Cruel professor, studying romances/ How am I supposed to pretend/ I never want to see you again?

I am going to put a Bee/Lasko song on here, because I am the controller of my destiny and my blog. Lasko is the cutest dude on the DAMN campus, and I just like making my little empathy daemon pine for him it’s sweet~

Tagging: @k9rage @angelnoodlesoup @just-call-me-angel and anyone who hasn’t been tagged yet!
