Was listening to this song and (as I always do as of late) related it to some RA characters
I think the whole song really fits Darlin’ but I think that it can work for a few of the other pack members too (some of the verses, more specifically)
Namely,
- Darlin’/Tank
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you
Achilles, it's not much but there's proof
You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue
Redemption lies plainly in truth
Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
(Thinking of this as the pack’s thoughts towards Darlin’)
- Asher
Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken
Remember the pact of our youth
Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping
Since there is no me without you
Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down
Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?
(Thinking mainly of David n Asher) (more specifically them during The Inversion)
- David
Loathe the way they light candles in Rome
But love the sweet air of the votives
Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone
Engage with the pain as a motive
Today, of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
(Thinking of how David was able to overcome his grief with his dad’s death and use it to strengthen him as a person (in a way))
I couldn’t think of anything that really fit Milo tho ;(
——————————————————————————
BUTTT if I had to choose a verse (or verses), it’d probably be th(is/ese) one(s)
Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle
Don't listen to what you've consumed
It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy
Of feeding and it's wholly untrue
You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing
It's all just conjecture and gloom
And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it
Do not waste yourself on this roof
Hear those bells ring deep in the soul
Chiming away for a moment
Feel your breath course frankly below
And see life as a worthy opponent
Today, of all days, see
How the most dangerous thing is to love
How you will heal and you'll rise above
Crowned by an overture bold and beyond
Ah, it's more courageous to overcome
(Thinking of Milo’s self-esteem issues and how he’s learned to deal with it somewhat and value himself more as a pack member)
Idk, I just like relating the music I listen to to my current hyperfixations :p
What songs do you guys think were played? I think ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ by Elvis Presley was one. Or maybe the song just reminds me of the wedding :p
When it comes to Milo and his height, idk if it’s better to imagine him as average height or actually short…
Because, on one hand, if he really is average height and everyone else is just ridiculously tall, that makes all the short jokes he receives even funnier because they’re not even accurate
But… if he really is short that’s fun too because one, representation (lol) and two, it’s funny to imagine that he drew the ‘short’ straw (pun intended) out of the pack and ended up as the only one that wasn’t tall or even average height
My brain kinda flip flops between the two but I lean more towards actually short Milo
Even though I love Milo more than Sam (very close to being a tie tho), I like Sam and Darlin’s relationship more. It’s so cute and I love how they brought the best out in each other and help each other get through so much trauma and pain and come out better than before. They’re so cutie to me I can never hate them.
What’s your fave redacted couple? (Or character) (or both)
My fav Sam BA is the one where he cums after tasting Darlin’s blood for the first time. I eat it up every time without fail (sometimes I listen to just that part🙈).
Close second is his first BA because of how emotional it is🩷
Tank gives off the personality of someone who believed they didn’t deserve anything good and so they constantly do things to punish themselves even though they’re just a person who makes mistakes.
