SHARE AT LEAST FIVE SONGS THAT REMIND YOU OF YOUR MUSE, OR THAT YOU ASSOCIATE WITH YOUR MUSEโS CHARACTER ARC. Including lyrics is optional.
TAGGED: @oathdestroyed! thank you, bb! ๐ฅฐ TAGGING: whoever would like to do this!
THEY'RE ONLY HUMAN - DEATH NOTE: THE MUSICAL
they're only human / standing still / doomed to live pushing boulders uphill / only human, after all / so they give and they take / hoping someone will help break their fall
DEVILS PRICE - POOR MAN'S POISON
the devil said, "sit and have yourself a glass" / he said "i know you're angry right now, but the feelin' will pass / so keep your cup tipped up when you're feelin' down low / and when you finally forget your purpose, you'll be stumblin' on down my side of the road" / oh you know it ain't good for you / to keep going on like you do / time's running away and it's running fast
EPIC, PT. 1 - ANAIS MITCHELL, JUSTIN VERNON
king of mortar, king of bricks / the river styx was a river of stones / and hades laid 'em high and thick / with a million hands that were not his own / and a million feet that fell in line / stepped in time with hades' step / and a million minds that were just one mind / like stones in a row / stone by stone / row by row
CHILD OF DARKNESS - BEDEMON
come with me now, child of darkness / come with me into the night / let me show you this land of enchantment / let me be your guiding light / this world is dead: it's broken its back / but i can show you what's being done / it all lies within your soul, girl / use your mind and it will come
WHISPER - BURN THE BALLROOM
his favourite days were the mornings she came with / confessions of cardinal sin / a beast in the business of selling forgiveness / dead eyes on a treacherous grin / yet he laps up the vice like a wolf in the night / he's the left hand of God on the stage / yeah, with one hand he offers salvation to lovers / the other, it taketh away
#TBT.#i want you all to know i'm trying to throw more songs from musicals on his playlist#(to be on brand)#but i've only had a few that fit so far

what form of love do you embody?
LOVE AS VIOLENCE
[ love as bloodshed, crimson as a knife slipped between your ribs ] when ocean vuong said "to arrive at love, then, is to arrive through obliteration" and when franz kafka said "you are the knife i turn inside myself; that is love" and when ada limon said "how do you love? like a fist. like a knife" and when richard siken said "sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine"
tagged by: @oathdestroyed! thank you, bb! ๐ฅฐ tagging: whoever would like to do this!
#TBT.#i only have one thing to say to this#that his brand of narcissism and how 'only raphael can love raphael'#means that he turns the knife upon himself#that's all

Ah, a little mouse beckons him -- even after turning his deal down twice. The call comes during a moment of respite, quill in hand as he pens about new residents of the House of Hope. The first few requests go unanswered. After all, patience is a virtue best taught to the young early and he's a terribly busy man. The tiefling can wait.
And yet, the calls become more insistent with the passage of time. Raphael pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs. A snap his fingers is all it takes to appear within the cursed lands.
โ Now, now, has no one taught you patience? Quite the virtue it is, especially when it comes to dealing with someone with a such busy schedule. โ A brow raises in curiosity as the cambion holds his arms out in a grand display. โ I'm here. You wished to talk... so talk. What brings you knocking on my door? โ
the summoning ritual of a cambion is treacherous magic to tamper with. whoever you were before the nautiloid dipped his hands deep into the poison well. introspection isn't on your mind tonight.
"any fucking day, @cambracts . come on! i'm starting to think you like the sound o' my voice," dolly-thrice's silver bell thrums. she is your protection from the shadows. you have chosen to question raphael alone, "it's just you'n me, old man. devil-to-devil. let's talk."
#IC.#ACT 2 VERSE.#mindhallow#raph vc: how about... no? :)#he's decided to be a petty bitch#the bard on bard violence is starting strong today hgtrfdsa

you know, things about raphael start to make sense the more i realize how he's been molded into who he is by loneliness. loneliness and rejection led him to ambition, who's been his only friend and the only thing keeping him alive for many, many years
#TBT.#it's also funny because ambition is also what leads him to his death#at the hands of a tav / durge#the very thing that's kept him going is what kills him in the end#is so damn poetic

@mindhallow bargained: "did you miss me?" ๐
A chuckle escapes the devil as his smile grows. To a being as old as he, mortals are as fickle as they are trivial. Watching their lives unfold is like watching actors upon a stage perform the same work over and over again. They're born, they go about their fickle little lives unaware, and then they die. Others take their place and thus, the chorus of mortal lives drone on... and on... and on... and on. And yet, Raphael found none to be such a source of intrigue and fascination as his newest acquaintance.
Headstrong, defiant of fate and the worm in his head, walking along a path of blood and tragedy. Wish is a change in the cacophony of other boring pleas for his aid. Why bother with the trivial when he could stand to witness the fall of gods and illithid alike?
โ Of course I did. I came all this way just for you. I was in the neighborhood and it would have been terribly rude of me to not stop and say hello to such a dear friend.
โ It's a tragedy that our time must be cut short. You see, a devil's work never ends and other clients call for my attention. I shall see you again very soon, my dear Wish. After all, time is running out. My door will be open when you inevitably make the right choice. โ

i just want it stated on the record that when the opportunity arises, i'm absolutely going to roast raphael. he's more than earned it for the shit he pulls throughout the game
#OOC.#TBD.#if you expect me to defend anything this man does#that's not gonna happen#he's the biggest hypocrite in the world#twisting peoples' fears and failures and insecurities into opportunities for himself#despite the fact he's so insecure about his own existence and place in the hells#as he exists in the shadow of his father; an archdevil#finding himself harboring the same folly and vices as the mortals he claims not to be#i could go on for ages about this#but my point stands: i'm roasting him from dawn to dusk#without any shame

i'm not gonna lie, folks... the more i play bg3, the more i find myself fascinated by raphael. i want to study this cambion with a magnifying glass
#OOC.#TBD.#local cambion hides his many insecurities by preaching his own self mythology#to make himself seem more important than he actually is#because he knows he's nothing compared to his father; the actual archdevil of cania

here sighs, laments, and deep wailings were resounding through the starless air; wherefore at first i wept thereat. strange tongues, horrible utterances, words of woe, accents of anger, voices high and faint, and sounds of hands with them, were making a tumult which whirls always in that air forever dark
