Character Songs Tag

Got tagged by @itzsassha and although I've already done it once I wanna get into this with a couple more songs for Macha.

Game Rules: pick one of your OCs and list song(s) that fit them

1. Tori Amos - Sweet the Sting

Macha is a big Toriphile, she knows all of her albums including lyrics to a T and was elated to find the Dewdrop Inn Hotel when she had to go there for a gig.

This song is very "Macha" it's sensual but in a playful way, and she loves the rhythm of it.

2. David Rolas - Muèvelo

Vinnie put this one on her playlist she uses to time herself for gigs. He wanted her to be flustered by this, and he definitely succeeded. She can't listen to this song without blushing, but she loves it and can't get enough of it. She can not use it on gigs, though, bc it messes with her concentration.

3. Amy Shark - I said Hi

She loves the changes in tempo and the lyrics of this one. "I bet the whole world thought I would give up today." Yes, she does have a couple of days like this.

3. Stéphane Pompougnac - The Ballad of Sacco and Vanzetti

This has been a favorite of hers for a long time. The subject matter is dark, but the music is light - and that's Macha for you in a nutshell. She's been through very dark times, but she refuses to let that keep her down.

5. Damien Rice - It Takes a lot to Know a Man

She cried when she heard that song for the first time. She was at her lowest point in life, she had just left Arasaka bc of what had been done to her (I'll write something about that in the future, but it's very personal) and she needed something to let herself cry and sink into. In many ways, she was also reborn through this song.

"It takes a lot to give, to ask for help - To be yourself, to know and love what you live with"

Tagging is hard bc so many people have done this already, so feel free to ignore.

As if Kuruk being claimed as the worst Avatar in history, while he cleaned up Yanchens mess, dedicating his life to slaying bad spirits while getting no reward but only hatred towards him, losing his wife on the wedding day in progress AND his own life at the early age of THIRTY THREE by literally rotting from spirit powers was not enough suffering for a lifetime. Hah. NooOOOo!

Apparently universe does not want to give this man a fucking break because his "team Avatar" his "best friends", keep being the absolute assholes even after his death AND LITERALLY BETRAY HIM IN HIS NEXT LIFE. AND THEN KEEP MAKING HIS RECARNATION'S LIFE MISERABLE. WHY WAS NOT ONE LIFETIME ENOUGH, WHY??

#And the so called friends have to fucking nerve to keep saying everything they do is in honor of Kuruk😃 #How is making his recarnations life a living hell a way to honor your friend who literally is that person recarnated??? #AND YOU KNOW IT IS HIM #LIKE STOP LEAVE KYOSHI ALONE SHE DID NOT DO ANYTHING #Kuruk and Kyoshi both deserve a hug a better life a better world and a better circle of people around them #Jianzhu better sleep with one eye open cause I AM COMING AFTER HIS LIFE #He better start praying cause I will show no mercy #I hope Kyoshi fucks him up with all the power she has #Avatar kuruk #Avatar kyoshi #Jianzhu #Hei ran #Kelsang #Kuruk #the rise of kyoshi #Rise of kyoshi #avatar the last airbender #The avatar cycle #Legend of korra #Atla #kyoshi novels

do you know what we all take for granted most?

the little pause the backspace button does when you hold it down after deleting the first letter, before it starts rapidly erasing everything else.

#she gives us a moment to change our minds. shows us mercy for our mistakes. #try it. feel how intuitive and perfect it is. just enough time to decide hmm no my words were no mistake after all #''duckling you should have backspaced this post''

More proto Lyctors: I don’t think the original purpose of assembling everyone at Canaan House was discovering Lyctorhood. I think the purpose, originally, was just to figure out how necromancy works. Because John didn’t know.

Everything he did early on was trial and error, and after absorbing Alecto he became so powerful he could brute force anything. The necromantic theorems everyone in the Houses uses were developed later, John never needed any of that. He had no frame of reference for how ‘normal’ adepts users could channel the power he unlashed, because he’s way beyond normal.

Thinking of this bit. In NtN, John tried for a hot second to approach his new death powers like he was going to write a peer-review paper. They do corpse experiment. He tries to make it sound like a legit science. Of course it goes nowhere because the world is ending, but also because you can’t apply scientific principles to something that can’t be reproduced by others. Post Resurrection, though? Sure. Basically, he was putting the gang back together, out of affection but also because he really needed lab buddies to help him nail down the framework of something that for him was as intuitive as breathing.

A corollary to that, IMO, is that I don’t think John was sitting on a well of information that he refused to share. I think even by canon era he doesn’t have the sophisticated grasp of nercomancy-as-a-science that the Lyctors do, and I really don’t think he was sitting on the secret to perfect Lyctorhood the whole time. He watched everyone misunderstand the process because he didn’t reveal the full truth about what Alecto was, but I also very much doubt he knew what the “human” version of absorbing another soul would be until the others figured it out. I doubt he even knows an alternative is viable instead of just theoretically possible; I predict John will be very surprised to learn something like Paul exists.

#I think the simple fact that in Htn Mercy & Augustine call Alecto 'John's cavalier' shows they had absolutely no idea of who Alecto was #because he very much killed her and ate her soul. It's just that she got better #anyway just. the idea of pre apocalypse John trying to submit his paper on phthinergy for peer review.... insane #tlt #tlt thoughts #og lyctors #ejg

Aphmau who’s definitely not what she once was

Aphmau whose powers aren’t the sweet little wound-healing they used to be

Aphmau who’s a sick and twisted version of Irene and yet still a much better person than Irene had ever even attempted to be.

#aphmau is NOT Irene. you can’t confuse the two #you may look into her eyes and see your god reflected back at you but it is not your god that hears your prayers #she is vengeful and spiteful and yet shows more mercy than her ‘better’ self ever had #aphmau #aphverse #rewrite #aphblr #minecraft diaries #mcd #Ranthredo #Lycoris Radiata/ranthredo #avra of Phoenix drop

Copia: *stressed out*

Terzo: What’s wrong?

Copia: I’m heading out for our next tour, and the Sister who usually cares for my rats was transferred to help train new Siblings in another abbey!

Terzo: I could do it for you.

Copia: No offense, but I think I’d trust Casey Anthony to run a daycare more than I would trust you with my rats.

“what if something being scary doesn’t make it bad” is one of those nearly bulletproof fictional angles for me like i am already in from moment one tell me more about how the terrifying and/or grotesque is not necessarily evil

#oh yellowjackets i love you #mirror tai is a fuckin revelation this season #she is Amoral not IMMoral #like a storm or an avalanche: no mercy and no cruelty #a storm does not hate you: it is merely Being A Storm #god i hope i’m right about where they’re going on this #the way they use new context in this show to change what we think we know about people #so good! so meta

man the dev notes w/ the stormshore tabernacle convo. whatever they're there for it's kind of remarkable how so much of the notes there for her are just textbook abuser stuff.

#tbd #after all the advantages I gave you -- i have the visceral skin crawl reaction its the abusive parent anthem #things that make my skin crawl bruh #it's everything I did for you #child who i groomed #I'm being so magnanimous towards you giving you time == child who i groomed #look at how merciful i am even though my first instinct is that i don't like how you didn't obey me #the dev notes of that convo genuinely make it worse boooy #which well done but also i will throw hands #dming helm pls kill her again #anyway i think it's kind of fascinating that most gods in this game show themselves as these larger than life figures but mystra? #you are seeing the person who did that to gale you are seeing that person #that person came to him as a child #like that divine separation has just not been there #esp with the build up #where she first dispatches elminster and then again when he tells you about the grant but at the end it's just her in this human figure #i genuinely feel like it deliberately strips that divine separation away & its another layer of insidiousness on her part #it's grounded in the sense of the damage she'd done to gale idk i am waffling but its just something about it is worse when it's so..wow. #idk i think in this game? i think she's not written like the other gods in this game and i think it makes her worse not more sympathetic #bg3 spoilers #abuse tw
