Are you still taking song suggestions? I'm thinking of Heavy In Your Arms by Florence and the Machine, the lyrics sorta fit and the song itself is emotional with the building tension and vocals. I was listening to this and got chills at "who is the betrayer? / who's the killer in the crowd? / the one who creeps in corridors / and doesn't make a sound" because these describe Goro so well?? I've always loved this song but putting it in an Akeshu context now hurts my heart :')
I’m always open for suggestions about meta-y tunes for this ship or this character~
Honestly, this is my FAVORITE Florence song, so I’m right there with you, with the chills and the new Akeshu association. This song already sucked me in before because it’s such an Ophelia anthem (a dark, bitter Ophelia), and having it linked up with Goro now is just… ouch. Pretty! But also painful.
Particularly hard-hitting bits:This will be my last confessionI love you never felt like any blessing(Ohhhh)Whispering like it’s a secretOnly to condemn the one who hears itWith a heavy heart
I was a heavy heart to carryBut he never let me downWhen he held me in his armsMy feet never touched the ground (this doesn’t seem to be in the video version, but still! The change from the first half of the song’s darkness and misery, to this–the lover bearing the burden gladly, enduring it, not letting the singer go or down [meaning, of course, literally not being put down and figuratively, as in not disappointed]) is hugely significant, and it’s probably the most Akeshu verse of them all. Because Joker made a promise to Akechi 8(
