It’s My Life, the 23rd (not sure if that means anything) song on Mike’s official playlist, and one that played on the WSQK.
As it finishes, Mindy says: “That song was so good. If you played it loud enough, it would wake anyone up from a long, long, deep sleep. Like really deep.”
The characters wake-up songs tend to coincide with themselves and their feelings. Like Max’s “Running Up That Hill” being about how she wishes she could’ve saved Billy.
And while exact interpretations may vary; fundamentally, “It’s My Life” is about feeling trapped and knowing you need to leave a difficult, non-committal relationship.
Funny how I find myself in love with you If I could buy my reasoning, I’d pay to lose
I’ve asked myself, “How much do you commit yourself?” Convince myself
Funny how I blind myself, I never knew If I was sometimes played upon Afraid to lose
I’d tell myself, “What could you do?” Convince myself
It’s my life, don’t you forget Caught in the crowd, it never ends
It’s not hard to apply this song to Mike. He can’t say he loves El, nor can he say why, but he doesn’t want to lose her.
A lot of songs on Mikes playlist are also about running away. I Ran (So Far Away), Smalltown Boy, Running In The Night, After Hours Run, Run Away.. In that future predicting D&D game, Mike is given the lead and he’s told there’s no shame in running, but that just means giving up.
He doesn’t, but he rolls an 11, and that misses. After that, almost all hope is lost. That’s where we’re at currently.
Figures shaped like puzzle pieces. “Feels like there’s a missing piece of the puzzle” -> the puzzle next to A Wrinkle In Time that Mike sees (that parallels the Robin/Vickie scene). Can’t call this a reach because I don’t know what I’m reaching for, it just reminded me of that.
Back to Mikes playlist. I don’t have access to the original offical one, so this might not have been present initially. I just thought it was interesting that this was the chosen cover, a yellow bird trapped inside of a cage. Also might be a reach.
This is merely my additional thoughts based on the song itself, but what we do know is that ‘It’s My Life’ is probably (definitely) Mike’s “wake up” song.
Which I am stoked about personally. I’ve loved this song for years!!

HELLO!!
its nice to see someone who's as feral about Quest Cuphead as me
(I hope you are or else it'd be embarrassing as hell for this ask)
but your art style is super pretty
and your really funny
"Stay groovy!"
-Whimsy Fleur°❀.ೃ࿔*
OH MY???? THANK YOU SO MUCH????????????? THAT'S SO SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am indeed VERY feral about qftim Cuphead, which in a way sucks because despite all the better written and cooler aus of him I obviously like (cuz im a cuphead fan), I'll always find myself back at the beginning.... where it alllllll started.... he's definitely had an equally negative and positive impact on me as a person and I am, unfortunately, not calm about him in the slightest! Whenever me and my friends joke around and I'm saying angsty things about their ocs they have literally said "wait please shut up ill draw qftim cuphead"/"hey hey quest cuphead jingle jingle" and I hush so quick
He has consumed my every waking thought and I love him wholeheartedly for that
And dude how much do I have to pay you as an apology for seeing all my old quest art???? I almost wished i had spent longer trying to draw him before posting because I'd say it's only been up until recently I've really gotten good at drawing him (and the others, but this isn't about them) T___T Regardless, both of your compliments mean so much to me, genuinely!!! Thanks a ton!!! And if you don't mind, I'm,,, gonna use this as an excuse to dump a whole bunch of qftim cuphead art LMAO
Starting with the oldest of course-
Cuphead is dreaming here if i remember correctly
My little brother actually hates Quest Cuphead a lot and requested I draw Cup hurt!!! Which while I'd say I have a love-hate relationship with qftim cup it's a lot more love than hate, and I love to see that little shit that's changed my life in pain (that sounds,,,, very weird! And it is weird. Take it whatever way you want)
Guys you gotta believe me he is super pathetic im NOT crazy dude he was built to be attractive to me specifically no one is attracted to him the way I am (don't even get me STARTED on the atrocious things I've written)
I am taking advantage of the crazy amount of blush bl*uge would use and i would like to state only cuphead and mugman can blush that crazy due to uhhh boiling over??? Steam?? Yes!
While this one is also old,,,, i just... wanted to save it for last considering it's,, yknow! Warning for... not full on nudity, but a revealing outfit and pose!

hey :) it's very cool that you're making such organized rec lists! you probably don't mean any harm by this but is rating them necessary? by recommending them you are already telling people that you like them, and saying what you enjoyed about them is also great!
but rating fics on a scale from 1-10 and putting your opinions into the general tags/ tagging directly so that the writers that- i'm guessing largely did not ask for your criticism- are very likely to see it creates an uncomfortable atmosphere
i know that at least for me i would not enjoy being putting next to other authors like this, and having a rating put on a fic that i worked hard on and that is therefore probably very dear to me would feel discouraging. many authors on your lists also explicitly state that they are not looking for criticism on a hobby they want to simply enjoy
again, i assume that you mean absolutely no harm and simply want to help others find fics they might enjoy, but this luckily isn't school, we can simply enjoy things without having to grade them
this divide in fandom, where artist are treated like 'content creators' and readers as the 'consumers' is a larger issue that way too often causes artist to lose their joy in being active in fandom.
fan art should be about community, after all we're all just some people with a shared love for our favourite characters
so please, let's share and support the fan fiction ( and fan art in general) we enjoy in a way that doesn't feel like a product review
Hey! :) I just wanted to address this before it becomes something that I never intended/wanted it to become.
In no way, shape, or form am I trying to offend or criticize anyone when I recommend works. My “ghost ratings” are purely my personal preference out of my favorite fics. It is an easier way for me to organize my lists based solely on my personal taste and preferences. The ratings are not meant to be a grading system. They don’t measure the quality, quantity, or even the content of the works. What they show are simply which ones I preferred over others.
I will admit that choosing to add my own personal rating is to let others know which fics were my favorite. But first and foremost the entire point of making these lists is to share the love of these works. I enjoy adding the ratings just to show personal preference. After all, everyone has pieces of writing, fics, or fan art that they prefer over other ones. It’s fun to gush a little extra over the works that you most enjoy!
Again though, it is not meant to be a critique. I am not trying to offer advice or pretend that I could do better. It never crossed my mind that someone would view these recs as a “product review,” and that is my own fault for not thinking it through from that perspective. I don’t view these artists and writers as “content creators” and the readers as “consumers.” We ARE just one community! :)
That all being said, I am deeply sorry if I have offended anyone or crossed a line. I never meant to do that and truly just want to share fics that I enjoy with others. To any writers, artists, and readers that I’ve offended with my ratings, I apologize and I hope you will forgive me.
I have decided that my ratings are not worth the risk of possibly discouraging others. It would break my heart if I knew my recommendations were doing that to others. I will be taking down all my ratings and will not be adding more to any future recs.
Anon thank you for discussing this with me in a kind and helpful manner. And for not assuming that I’m trying to be a jerk and tear others down.
I love you all! I love all of you artists and the love for the fandom that we share! Thank you for bearing with me, and have a great day/night!🫶🏻
