*Solturion is an OC belonging to @renegadereshiram. I had to throw him in there at least for that one clip because it was too perfect, so please excuse the self-indulgence.

**Raciel and Hadrimon are characters from the Abomination Vault novel, if you haven't read it then please consider it!

Human; so, don't you feel the weight of your armor?

Death; Not really, it's like wearing nothing, more or less.

Human; ...

Death; ...

Death; *exasperated sigh* No.

Found an accurate depiction of Deaths' hand size. Holy hot damn!

((The idea of the Horsemen celebrating Father’s Day after learning what it is with Death being the father figure is currently giving me life))

What song do you personally associate with Death? For me I personally associate Vengeance by Garmarna(takes a lot of playing around with interpretation lyric wise.). Recommend the group by the way, they have lovely music.

I associate a LOT of songs with every muse I have, which is why I make playlists for them, but I can definitely pick a few that stand out the most. PLEASE feel free to ask the same of any other muse I have, either on this blog or any other--I LOVE talking about music as it relates to muses!!!

Some songs I associate the most heavily with him and why:

This one has just an overall tone and lyrical style that closely captures the atmosphere and emotion of all Darksiders II, in my opinion. It’s melancholy, yet uplifting and builds some hype in its spikes. It’s hope and hoplessness. The word choice is also fitting of Darksiders in general, even if it’s truly intended to be Dark Souls.

This one, I’m... biased on. It was the intro music to my old let’s play of Darksiders II, before even the remaster was out. But I feel like it’s not far-fetched at all, listening to the lyrics and hearing the tone of it. I feel this era of Disturbed just fits Darksiders a lot in general, with its mix of aggressiveness and brooding depth.

Ah... Lilith. I know the series only barely touches on that relationship, but... It’s gotta be more significant than they let on. Not to mention, can’t you just imagine his singing voice sounding something like this?

This one is probably the most fitting. It perfectly captures that same melancholy tone I described before, and the lyrics speak a lot to Death’s status as an anti-hero. He tries to act in the ways he thinks are best, but there’s a big moral grey area there. He struggles a lot with choosing between personal interest and the greater good. While his choices now typically lean more toward the latter, the former isn’t entirely left behind, and his past is deeply stained.
