|| I’ve been BLESSED to talk to both @oldamicitia and @littlestshield in depth about the Amicitia Family that I adore so much. And I’ve only NOW made them a playlist as a family would you believe it???? so, without further ado. Here is the Playlist and it’s break down of why the songs are on there because i’m ANNOYING
1. The Trials of the Shield - Tetsuya Shibata It’s self explanatory. 2. Bust Your Knee Caps - Pomplamoose - The Amicitia THEME really. They’re a tough as nails, take no shit family. If you’re in with any of them, you have an ally for life. And if you’re on the other side of them? Good Luck. Might you recall, We've got a small family business. And the family won't like this.... They'll bust your knee caps! 3. Loyal, Brave, True - Christina Aguilera - Another Amicitia Theme. Especially with the long line of servitude to the King of Lucis and how fiercely they honour their family line. All for my family, Reason I'm breathing, Everything to lose... Should I ask myself in the water what a warrior would do? Tell me, underneath my armour, Am I loyal, brave and true?
4. You Can Run - Adam Jones. - Gladio and Iris in the Dark Years. Clarus his whole life. You can run, You can run... You saw things that shook your core, Things you've never seen before. Could've walked away instead.
5. Ready as i’ll ever be - Tangled the Series - Each Amicitia on their individual journies. Now it's time to rise up or it's time to stand down and the answer is easy to see and I swear by the sword if you're in, get on board. Are you ready? I'm ready, ready as i’ll ever be.
6. From Now On - The Greatest Showman - Gladio and Iris in the Dark Years. I drank champagne with kings and queens. The politicians praised my name. But those are someone else's dreams. And we will come back home, and we will come back home. Home again!
7. Father and Son - Cat Stevens - Gladio and Clarus. Most of the time, they get on famously. But the balance between being too hard on his son as a father and too soft on him as a soon to be Shield isn’t an easy one. How can I try to explain? When I do he turns away again. It's always been the same, same old story from the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.... I know I have to go.
8. Blood \\ Water - grandson - Clarus and his father. Their relationship was not a pleasant one with his father being needlessly cruel to him. These lyrics i felt were very Clarus to his father summed it up. Admit you were toxic. You poisoned me just for another dollar in your pocket. Now I am the violence I am the sickness. Won't accept your silence, Beg me for forgiveness.
9. Monster - Skillet Teen Gladio, Clarus and Clarus’ father’s internal monolouge imo. I keep it caged but I can't control it. So stay away from me, the beast is ugly I feel the rage and I just can't hold it.
10. I loved her first - Heartland Gladio and Clarus @ Iris. It’s no question these two grouchy, gruff men are soft on her. And if anyone was LUCKY enough to end up with Iris it wouldn’t be without grilling and pestering from those two. But I loved her first, I held her first and a place in my heart will always be hers. From the first breath she breathed, When she first smiled at me. I knew the love of a father runs deep.
11. The Best Day - Taylor Swift Imo Gladio looking back on his childhood after everything he’s been through. Perhaps talking at a grave ;a; I have an excellent father his strength is making me stronger. The Gods smile on my little sister inside and out she's better than I am. I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run and I had the best days with you...
