Hellooo!!
I have come because I was listening to music earlier today and a song came on that I immediately thought fit Jay in your Reboot Gone Wrong AU!! The song was "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers if ya wanna give it a listen. I just thought it fit well. :D
Gotta say,I listened to song and tunes out I listened to it before when I had stardew Valley era.
Yes,A lot of things work with lyrics of song and how it goes(especially how both part are same lyrics but with little feeling of different way it was executed vocally)
I could say that the part with “she is touch his chest now,he takes off her dress now” would definitely be opposite of Jays thinking,lyrics going all about him thinking of what is happening while the animatic would show them almost not interacting (most of their perfect match thing would be public for sake of others eyes),It could show that song goes by Jays perspective rather than the story itself.
“Swimming through sick lullabies,Chocking on your Alibis” definitely would work with scene showing Nya flirting with Cole in that infamous scene and then her trying to come up with explanation to Jay at his parents junkyard after Pixal tells about perfect match.
“but it’s just the price I pay” yes,it fits Jays self consciousness,He always tries to find problem in himself.Skybound showed how he believed something was wrong with him that strained Nya away from him(either his personify,Junkyard origin or unseriousness,his mind comes up with explanation).in some way,He just accept that idea and moves on(or does he),so basically paying price and learning lesson(or is it)
“Open up my eager eyes, ‘cause im Mr.brightside” this part in my opinion would fit him finding fatherly bond with Lou,with showing them spending time in arcade,him helping Lou with homework,monitoring him train on his powers and celebrating his achievements. And yes,He is Mr.Brightside.Despite such big chunk of his life being full for drama and woe,He found good in it,which is being Lou’s uncle
As much as I wanted to draw all sequences I wrote about,Im quite busy and booked on things going on irl, sorry 😭😭😭😭😭😭
but I really wanted to answer to this question with something to show my appreciation ,so I got this little piece showing that Even when Cole and Nya were having wedding,Some of that jealousy was still eating Jay from inside.
I like idea that he believed in deep meaning behind his and Nyas relationship,he believed in them being made for each other,or at least being more than just a couple. He can’t understand why it’s Cole and not him,why it took him almost half year just to sure he and Nya are dating,yet It took Cole few month TO MARRY HER (actually it’s Cole and Nya rushing everything cause they are young and stupid and yk)
“How did it end up like this” of course a little denial is fitting for Jay,tho it’s literally them(him,Kai and Zane) being witnesses on their wedding,Also maybe implying how fast Cole and Nya went in their “relationship” to rush into marriage
“It was only a kiss” x 2 would be basically jay saying “yo,she didn’t like you that much,stop dreaming delusions and live your life,if you care for her and Cole,You should be happy” to himself,Convincing him that he and Nya don’t belong together
Also,thank you very much for inspiring me to draw this part of story,Sometimes I get stuck with how to follow the story,what piece of timeline to show and how to integrate changes of AU,Im happy people see associations with my story in songs/other media and Im glad for how my vision of Jay in this AU was perceived by others
Again,thank you for being interested and supporting my art!💙💙💙💙
O hope to find time to make full sheet for Lou,Im still stuck on what Animal choose for his signature animal
