POV: Ripping Your Beloved's Heart Out | A Dark Urge Playlist BG3
I present to thee, a Dark Urge playlist (feat. metal music)! I got tired of listening to the same 10 songs in all the villain arc playlists, and then this ran away from me creatively... and I decided to write in-game-esque dialogue to go with each song as an explanation.
Narrative description/explanation for each song of the playlist is below the cut <3 LISTEN IN ORDER! (If you want to, I'm not your mom)
(Trigger Warning below the cut for cannon-typical graphic description of murder, body horror, and death. This is a Durge playlist, after all.)
(Note: The below narrative is not canon.)
List of songs/narration:
Krwling (Mike Shinoda Reanimation) - Linkin Park, Aaron Lewis
Narrator: *That thing deep inside you stirs. You want it. You want to prove yourself. You want to see their insides strewn across the camp and smeared on the cavern walls.*
> And only then will your beloved be perfect.
> Run as far as you can from the camp as fast as you can. You can't kill your love tonight if you can't make it back to camp before the sun rises again.
> I can't - what would I do without them?
God Complex - VIOLENT VIRA
Narrator: *You approach their sleeping body. How peaceful and sweet. How perfect a chance to immortalize them, just like this, forever. It's almost a shame that they'll never know it was you who committed the perfect crime.*
> Wake them first, then go in for the kill. Let the gods hear them scream your name.
> A kill while the victim is asleep isn't a mercy, it's an art. And you, the artist.
Yandere - Jazmin Bean
Narrator: *Blood sinks into the bedroll as you slit their throat. Wouldn't want to wake the others...*
> Pretty, pretty...
> Resist the urge to continue to mutilate the body.
Stabbed Her to Death - Zheani, Cameron Azi
Narrator: *The sound of your weapon hitting flesh over and over rings through the otherwise silent night.*
Want It All - Ashnikko
Narrator: *When you finally come to, their body is naught but remains, each piece eagerly and lovingly carved away from the others.*
> Laugh. Sceleritas Fel was right. Only now are you truly free.
> Weep. What have you done?
Saccharine - Jazmin Bean
Narrator: *There's one small problem... this masterpiece is incomplete. Where is the artistry in a dead lover without a matching pair? How will anyone understand the weight of what you've done?*
> Carve a matching piece of yourself to lie next to them.
> You cannot leave this world before you've seen to it that everyone else has left it first.
> Have you gone mad? Hide the body, or the whole camp will surely know.
GASLIGHT! - Maggie Lindemann, Siiickbrain
Narrator: *You half expect Sceleritas Fel to reappear and congratulate you on such a fantastic job well done. But no matter how long you stare at the corpse, he doesn't show himself. Which begs the question, now what? Alfira was one thing to explain to the others... but this?*
> All those living and dead should bear witness to your craft. They should be honored.
> Weigh your options. Which ones of them could be convinced to stay on your side? And those who can't... could you take them down in a fight?
> Shake yourself out of it. Hide the body, burn the note.
Don't Fucking Touch Me - Banshee
Shadowheart [alt: Wyll]: What - what have you done?!
> Isn't it beautiful?
> [Intimidation] I told you it would keep happening. I warned all of you, and you let me stay. You tried to convince me I could change. This is your fault.
> [Deception] They tried to kill me. It was self-defense.
You Make Me Sick! - Ashnikko
Narrator: *You're not sure who, but someone behind you vomits. Whether at the sight of the state of the once body, or at the visage of cold drying blood against every inch of your skin, you aren't sure.*
> Wipe dirty hands against equally vile clothing.
> Turn around to see who.
No Mercy - DeathbyRomy
Narrator: *The whole camp erupts into noise. They are debating if you are safe to keep around.*
> Drown out the noise in favor of admiring the corpse some more.
> [Persuasion] You need me. Without me, you'd all be long dead.
> [Intimidation] Any abandoners or insurrectioners will meet the same fate. I expect no disruptions to our goal.
*Success*
Whore of Babylon - Zheani
Narrator: *Peace and quiet. It seems as though you've finally earned your rightful spot as the leader of this group.*
> Now, leave us.
> Rejoin the camp.
DAYWALKER! - Machine Gun Kelly, CORPSE
Narrator: *You settle in to spend your night on the cold stone floor of your camp, picturing every other way you could have honored or desecrated your beloved's corpse.*
Monster Truck - Jazmin Bean, Zheani
Narrator: *Vision swimming with blood and unidentifiable fluids, you spot their heart, neatly placed in the center of it all.*
> Reach for it. It was yours, and it still is now.
> Close your eyes and pretend it was just a fleeting thought.
BIRTH OF VENUS - Banshee
Narrator: *It is only as the sun peaks through the mouth of the cavern that you wall asleep, your head cradled, comfortable in the still-warm viscera of what could have been.*
Requiem - Avenged Sevenfold
Sceleritas Fel: Wake up, Milord! I should have had more faith in your most vile self...
