Losing my mind whenever I think about Burn Butcher Burn canonically being a breakup song that “came from a broken heart” because like….. Almost all the songs in the “post-heartbreak/post-breakup venting” category have more or less the same formula, you know, in which a significant amount of “how could I have been so stupid” is pretty much a prerequisite. Like…. No matter how the breakup/heartbreak happened, the song needs an opening that goes like “I can’t believe I fell in love with someone who would do this to me, this is so embarrassing/stupid on my part”
and then there was Jaskier. Who didn’t waste so much as a breath on the self-loathing theatrics, and just went RIGHT in like “I WANT THAT MOTHERFUCKER DEAD! NOW SING IT WITH ME–” it’s just. SUCH an in-character move, and it was incredible. A complete game changer. NO one is doing it like him
