Hors d'oeuvre // Made In Heights“Placing your lips and shoulders on the carpetPost-December hors d'œuvres in cold apartmentsOnce we comb our feathers and cure your longingWe sleep as winter pigeons on pavement fallingGrinning in clothes and timbers as I departedHolding your hands and fingers as if applaudingHunting the moon; hung so low, we might have caught itPlacing your lucky clovers on the carpet”you were friends, in the way you become friends with the person sat next to you in a class you hate. it was friendship born of necessity, but it was friendship nonetheless. you had a genuine care for each other, even if you didn’t always see eye to eye.

Eridan:the big house // Hop Along, Queen Ansleis

“You know you were probably raised all wrong yeah but we love each other regardlessAnd one has A.D.D. and the other one is dead but both knowing Well, they'll go to hellTwo kids kill each other and kiss at the endAnd we swear by the rest at our trampolineThat we saw detachable wings at the crime sceneOut in the corn fieldWhere they threw themselves downTheir sense of the sin they told no one no one“

you had a very complicated and difficult relationship, but ultimately found equal footing and love in each other.

In my Hal/Halsprite tl, what was my relationship like with John? (Welcome to the shufflemancy scene btw!)

Thank you!

workers // Hop Along, Queen Ansleis“The workers all agree the kids are getting weakSo their plane cracks and on the ceilings a filling roof sucks the South American waters so those who cannot swim will have their backs broken and by the straining eyes of those who work until they'll die“

god okay i’m so sorry this song is so incomprehensiblehowever the feeling i get is that you were friends! you both felt a similar sense of duty, almost, and bonded over your responsibilities. i get the impression you had a stressful timeline, but the relationships you cultivated helped, and if not for those you may have worked yourself too hard.

What was my relationship like with dirk strider? ~jake english

Arms Tonite // Mother Mother

“And hey, youDon't you think it's kinda cuteThat I diedRight inside your arms tonightThat I'm fineEven after I have diedBecause it was in your arms I died”

so this could be taken literally, but also my view is that you were desperately in love with him but things fell apart, despite your efforts to hold on. however, i think you and him were able to re-establish a relationship, even if it wasn’t the same as it was before.
