#Quinn’s a dick who feeds from and or turns the mentally I’ll unempowered human

The Fruits by Paris Paloma reminds me SO MUCH of Angel. Of course because of this line: “Angel, he calls me. Does he know that I’m falling?- for if I’m going down, I guess I’ll take you with me-“ and so on.

And of course that got me overthinking: what if Angel had some secret dark undertones, like what if something is seriously wrong here? They aren’t exactly a villain themselves, but they eventually get caught up with Quinn or Vega?

And with a petname as pure and sweet as “Angel”, how ironically beautiful would it be if they were the exact opposite of those adjectives? There’s such deep meaning behind why David calls them ‘Angel’, putting that to waste would be so heartbreaking and I love it.

The whole atmosphere of the song is so ominous and dark. Like something to be discovered or found out. “You’re so pure he says, does he know I’m forsaken? The original sinner, but soon you’ll know.” There’s such great potential for angst here.

Now the switch to those spoken ‘darker undertones’: “devil you call me, but seem to be enjoying, the fruits of my labor that came to me too young. When he stole my virtue, I’m glad it seems to serve you.” Angel is a force to be manipulated in every universe- especially within The Imperium. But also being an unempowered human surrounded by magical beings. They’re just a pawn to be used up in their own eyes.

Angel absolutely has low self-worth because of that fact, leading to some rather impulsive decisions and desires. They want more, they want worth and power. Which is exactly how they found themselves wound up with high King Imperial in the Imperium universe. With absolutely no escape.

So it’s just too easy to get them in a weak spot- Quinn finds that so endearing how they’ve found themself where they are. “Under big bad alpha Shaw’s arm.” And of course it’s not just Quinn who noticed it, but he’s the first to dig through their potential for more within they’re own oblivion.

And the breathing within the end of the song could be their exhaustion with trying to catch up with everyone else- to be a safe harbour that’s cracking at the foundation. (Hey little songbird from Hadestown is giving me Quinn and Angel energy) he not only offers them an escape, he offers them eternal rest.
