Me yelling while watching the Hazbin Hotel final battle: Lucifer where the FUCK are you??
Lucifer, offscreen, doing an epic solo musical number that's just "Ready As I'll Ever Be" from the Tangled The Series:
🎵 Believe me I know, I've sunk pretty low🎵
Me, watching Alastor get sliced and almost diced: LUCIFER why aren't you HERE??
Lucifer, singing in the shower or otherwise suiting up (even though this motherfucker rocks up in his normal clothes):
🎵 I'm the bad guy, that's ✨️fine✨️. It's no fault of mine, and some justice at last will be ✨️seeeeerved✨️🎵
Me, sobbing after Sir Pentious gets obliterated: LUCIFER PLEASE!!
Lucifer, psyching himself up in the mirror all dramatically:
🎵 And I'll stand up and fight 'cause I knooow that I'm right🎵
Me, emotionally wrecked by everything going on INCLUDING Dazzle's death: Lucifer, your daughter is LITERALLY ABOUT TO DIE YOU- oh there you are
Lucifer, in his head as he punches Adam's dumb face:
🎵Ready as I'll eeever be🎵

'now it's time to redeem or it's time to resolve, and the outcome will hardly come free' - damn, those lines kinda hit hard for a kids' song
They do, and they're ignored by the general public because they're sung by the chorus. (Even though that chorus includes Eugene and you can clearly hear his voice.)

(bit of a dark meta post here but)
if i had to pick a single song to represent ruby rose as a character, it would be My R (specifically the version by annapantsu)
like... it's a song about a girl, who goes up to a rooftop with the intent of jumping off. When she's up there, she finds another girl preparing to do the same, and after hearing her out, actually manages to talk her out of it, while internally wondering why this girl could possibly think her reasons are better for this than her own. they both come down from the roof.
she goes up again another day, and the same scenario happens, and she feels the same about it again. but they both come down together.
this happens again and again, time after time, with so many people, and every single time she talks them out of it, coming down with them, then returning another day to find someone else. and every time there's a nagging feeling of, "would anyone do this for me if I got here first?"
until one day... there is no one else up there. she's up there, on her own, with nothing to stop her, and she immediately starts wrestling with her feelings, wondering if she actually wants to go through with it, and then deciding, Yes, she wants to.
now the ending of the song can be interpreted multiple ways, some less hopeful than others, but I think the one that applies best to ruby is that the girl suddenly sees herself in all of the people she's stopped before, suddenly essentially thinks "there doesn't need to be anyone to do this for me, I can do it myself, for myself" and.. turns around at the last second, leaving her plans to jump behind, and moving forward.
and on top of all of that, the song is extremely upbeat, and sounds very cheerful if you don't listen to the lyrics. Much like ruby, hiding her own fears behind a wall of optimism and hope that she shows to others, that makes her into such a beacon of light to everyone around her. To everyone but herself.
In the beginning of the series, she's a limitless source of hope and determination, fuelling herself and everyone around her onwards and upwards. Until volume 4. She desperately tried to never let on to anyone else, but the fall of beacon deeply affected her. When penny died, so did so much of ruby's trust in herself to be the hero. She still had her hope, and she still had her attitude of "let's do the best we can", but that very slowly started to be for everyone else's benefit, and that difference became more and more apparent as the show went on.
Volume 8 was the tipping point for her, and all of her hope and trust in herself was hinging on - A, protecting the relics. B, saving atlas. C, saving penny. and D, warning remnant enough to prepare them.
And then... they fell. And in the ever after, she had no way of knowing what was going on in their own world anymore, except what RWBYJ collectively knew already. And what did the group know as a whole? They had no idea whether B or D had succeeded, but they knew for a fact that A and C had failed. And so, with penny dying Again, so too did the rest of ruby's hope.
Volume 9 is her, up on the rooftop, with no one to stop her.

*in the hell*
Evil cuphead: Any moment now, Your Highness

But whatever I've done, you deserved
Chess queen: *tied in a chair* kiddo!

Evil Cuphead: we're the bad guys, that's fine
It's no fault of mine and some justice at last will be served
Chess queen: Please, listen
Evil mugman: Now it's time to step up or it's time to back down
And there's only one answer for us
Evil cuphead: And I'll stand up and fight 'cause I know that I'm right
Both cups: And I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready
Ready as I'll ever be
*meanwhile in surface*
Chalice: *megaphone* Now it's time to rise up or it's time to stand down
And the answer is easy to see
And I swear by the sword if you're in, get on board
Are you ready?
Sally's huband: I'm ready
Elder kettle: We're ready
Other toon folks: we're ready
Chalice: Ready as I'll ever be
