Honestly. Writing on the Wall by Will Stetson, makes me think of lots of our Alnst OCs, but like. I dunno how to explain it- (I'm dissecting them all like frogs)

Song (Writing On The Wall, by Will Stetson):

“Palaces of silver and gold, Cannot be designed overnight. It's like the saying I've often been told: "No matter the cost, do things right"

You have to be careful, you have to be diligent. Planning and measuring every detail. Creating is drawing, erasing and drawing again.

And I've never been in it for fame or attention. I only work hard so the structures won't fail. But seeing it finished is worth every Mora I spend

Within every building made with pride. The architect lives on inside

Shining paint, a marble heart: That's what makes a work of art. We build and we play, sculpting dreams out of clay

With the hope that our towers don't fall. That we won't have to see the writing on the wall

The more you work, the higher the stakes, and the bigger the sorrows to drown. 'Cause one mistake is all that it takes for the walls to come crumbling down

You have to ignore them, the echoing voices, that cackle and curse as you toil away. Cover your ears and focus on boxes and lines

And the shadowy figures, they're nothing but shadows. Like ink on a page, they have nothing to say... But maybe, just maybe, they're trying to give me a sign

That in every building made with pride. The architect remains inside

Peeling paint, a heavy heart: That's what makes a work of art

We scream and we pray. Sculpting dreams out of clay

As we try not to look at the scrawl. The message of doom, the writing on the wall

Every day we play this game of chance. Whirling through a desperate dance. Sketching visions in our heads, just to see them ripped to shreds.

This road that we share... Doesn't lead anywhere

But there's nothing an artist can do. When you swing your brush, you have to follow through

Within every building made with pride: The architect is trapped inside

Bleeding paint, a shattered heart: That's what makes a work of art

I'll fight for control. But the right way takes a toll

And still, at the end of it all

I can't escape my fate

The writing's on the wall.”

So, those are the lyrics. And now I will be connecting them to almost all of our OCs or the best I can that it, which will be under cut! (I gotten more weird at the end, but eh. I hope you don't mind it???)

"Palaces of silver and gold, Cannot be designed overnight. It's like the saying I've often been told: ”No matter the cost, do things right“." — the intro lyric, which I think fits almost all of our OCs. But it mainly makes me think of Solei ( @solei-eclipse ) and Rose ( @rosedeleca ). Rose has made a gift for Solei, and Solei has made a gift for Azure ( @4listr ).

"You have to be careful, you have to be diligent. Planning and measuring every detail. Creating is drawing, erasing and drawing again." — once again, goes with the top. How Rose and Solei are both very artistic, making gifts for others. But also Himei ( @lookatmysillies ), if I remember correctly, she can make clothes!

"And I've never been in it for fame or attention. I only work hard so the structures won't fail. But seeing it finished is worth every Mora I spend." — Azure, Solei, and others. I mean, it's fitting ain't it? Azure practically says the same thing when interviewed (even though he really doesn't care at all). 'seeing it finish is worth every Mora I spend' can go with how the others react towards being given a gift

"Within every building made with pride. The architect lives on inside." — smth smth, I just find it,, nice?? That like. After para made their OC, we all jumped in to join them. I like to think that para was the starting point on how far we've come; like the glue that holds this community that we build!

"Shining paint, a marble heart: That's what makes a work of art. We build and we play, sculpting dreams out of clay" — The first lyrics 'shining paint, a marble heart: that's what makes a work of art' kinda makes me think of Moran ( @geospiral ) and Tov ( @ivanttakethis ). 'we build and we play, sculpting dreams out of clay', I dunno I dunno. Just the fact that Solei made a butterfly gift for Azure. Maybe they used clay? I dunno

"With the hope that our towers don't fall. That we won't have to see the writing on the wall." — animation with a metaphorical area that only a few characters look towards; it's like a church of sorts. I guess it can be said that the church looks like some vampire castle? Or some abandoned church that is! They look towards it, and just. Stare- like there are words there or a ghost of sorts. Dian ( @rockwgooglyeyes ) and others that share his personality, are half looking at it while also looking towards the future with a relaxed and “cocky” pose if that makes sense. The ones looking back are the ones with the opposite of Dian and others' personality. They are staring right at it, and the ones FULLY optimistic (Flor I would say?) are FULLY looking away from the abandoned church, and looking into the bright side of the wall? Or of the sky.

"The more you work, the higher the stakes, and the bigger the sorrows to drown. 'Cause one mistake is all that it takes for the walls to come crumbling down." — Solei, and their whole escape. Sai vs Vera ( @junebluues ). And others planning their escape or something similar

"You have to ignore them, the echoing voices, that cackle and curse as you toil away. Cover your ears and focus on boxes and lines." — Rosca, and others with a somewhat similar mean personality. Ignore them, and just live on. But of course, they are also the same. To ignore them is to ignore the aliens. And that's what they want to do. That's why she (Rosca) likes her (Flor).

"And the shadowy figures, they're nothing but shadows. Like ink on a page, they have nothing to say... But maybe, just maybe, they're trying to give me a sign." — Aliens, are nothing but aliens and observers. Don't they do anything helpful. We are in the garden, and it's nice! .. but what they tell us.... Why is it always repeated?

"That in every building made with pride. The architect remains inside." — 'remains' in many ways. Body parts, no matter the area. Or even no matter the blood that oozes or just bursts out. 'made with pride' is what the aliens share when they talk about them, dead or alive.

"Peeling paint, a heavy heart: That's what makes a work of art." — 'that's what makes a work of art', is what most alien guardians will say when they talk about the troubles that some pets make. 'peeling paint,' faces and facades are falling. 'a heavy heart', Tov. She understands it well. Even if she really doesn't, she does feel it. Others as well- but by her logs and reactions.

"We scream and we pray. Sculpting dreams out of clay." — The stage, that is what this explains. To show our dreams to these beasts who have no souls. To scream 'it 's so much fun!' 'i like this!' or anything they want to hear. To pray? Impossible, the church is crumbling.

"As we try not to look at the scrawl. The message of doom, the writing on the wall." — 'Message of doom', always to know our end; prophesized. It's easy to forget it just for a little moment. But it'll never be enough.

"Every day we play this game of chance. Whirling through a desperate dance. Sketching visions in our heads, just to see them ripped to shreds." —

"This road that we share... Doesn't lead anywhere." — Onyx and Dian, Isla and Monica ( @nottoonedin ), Flor and Rosca, Tallis and Himei, Daiki and Tina ( @teapotuser ), and many others. To be separated. To be gone.

"But there's nothing an artist can do. When you swing your brush, you have to follow through." — As said in these two lyrics. Nothing else to do, but to follow or be gone forever.

"Within every building made with pride: The architect is trapped inside." — Solei, with the whole fact that I just KNOW that their presence HAUNTS the narrative, and how Solei was the.. basically the building block for this whole season and this community that we made together. Moran and others too. They were the ground, why is it now so easy to fall off?

"Bleeding paint, a shattered heart: That's what makes a work of art." — Bleeding. Everything is bloody. I don't like it. ‘shattered’, is my world. Even if not, but for others. “That's what makes a work of art”, bastards.

"I'll fight for control. But the 'right way' takes a toll." — I want to live for myself! I WILL live for myself! ..... But, I'm scared.

"And still, at the end of it all" — No matter how much I don't want to feel it.. or know it

"I can't escape my fate. The writing's on the wall" — I can't... oh God. Two dead bodies, Solei is missing. ... Another one was added.

The flowers always wilting, ghosts to haunt and of different states of minds or feelings.... (~ piano; outro. Along with some Dark Wood Circus lyrics)

[yohohonabottle]

Finch's singing voice head cannons for the AFKJ cast (and her own cast) So she doesn't have to torment her friends with yapping-- And other head cannons

So! What says on the tin! Most is taken out my chats with firenation, Meepin and bunnybird --All of it is- What started this? Well -- Firenation got a banger 'quote': "I was listening to a song's English translation and... I'm crying. For some reason, it makes me think of Pirin and Valen dancing to it! Like! I absolutely love these two munchkins! https://youtu.be/9JfxfUX07xY?si=SKrbDE5FfkhVltBi" Firenation's words not mine^ And that's how this rabbit hole started!

So, so, so! Starting off wiiith-- Ludovic!

Kaveh's song "The writing on the wall" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW5G7v5PqPc

Sidenote tangent/explanation about choice: --------------------------------------------

..Or I could give this song and voice to Ludovic. Just imagine this quiet, very soft melancholic voice suddenly turn out to have so much power and life and emotion in it.

This could be Ludovic both singing about his own struggles... and those of his friend. It's like he briefly donning on 'Pirin's mask' to show his role, switching P.O.V's from his own to Pirin's.

"Within every building made with pride, the Architect lives on inside'' (Og lyrics)

"Within every story told with pride, the legendary mage lives on inside." -A line expressing his view of the adventures. Positive. His p.o.v. Then goes with this verse but instead says 'trapped' -singing from Pirin's perspective. Since the adventures of 'Merlin' are two sides of the same coin/double-edged sword.

For Pirin, the journey is a constant, endless play because he's saddled with being Merlin but can't be himself. No, no. He must be Merlin. Not stray too out of line for Merlin's 'mischief streaks' and keep in-character to the identities Merlin has already assumed in the past as a prank on those around him, avoid ''adding a new one'' to the list. Because then that one ''odd identity'' will break the pattern due to not aligning with it, with what people are familiar with-- And it would raise eyebrows, questions, suspicions, blow the secret. That the real Magister Merlin had summoned this wandering spirit, this Night nymph -Lightbearer Empire /Night Jinni- Maulers/Blazing star- Wilders/Unbound Will-o-the wisp - Graveborns ---To carry his duty in his stead. Which would put Merlin in hot waters with the people, he'll have nowhere to run, face them and answer the questions they will rightfully demand. While that ''decoy'' will be dragged through worse hell for what he is, and for daring to ''impersonate the legendary chief mage''.

A struggle the bat had to shoulder, on top of this ''mask'' going against his very principle and of his bloodline-- To uncover, reflect and not obscure the truth. No matter what that truth is, how much it hurts/elates or is hideous/beautiful, clashes with interests and beliefs or not. Like how a mirror doesn't care of how the reflection it gives will come across/can/will do. It will not skew and twist itself into something else or the reflection just to appeal. (And yet, there are still cracks in it that bleed through no matter how masterfully Pirin plays his role. Most simply don't notice or care to look closer. As far as the majority of people are concerned? Merlin is here, heroic as always and Esperia is safe from harm, them by direct proxy are safe too.)

A small example of how Ludovic ''plays'' with the roles he portrays in that song. And acknowledges this struggle his friend has, always will until the journey's end comes and the contract is fulfilled.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next, my favorite Mauler gremlin edgelord-- Soren!

Soren (BG singing voice): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HITpfaXwcKw (Can pass of as Bulgarian since it's sung in Slavic tongue)

Soren (ENG singing voice): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENA_8Yg79K4 (It's good... but the extended version of this somehow sounds better. But I'm 50/50 on it.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxljowvqdsk

(Same song but the voice is different. And fits Soren just as well!)

I guess this one could be when he's older and keeping his voice gentle, like singing a lullaby to Amene -visiting her grave, she loved this song the second she heard it first time in Alkali.-) Otherwise 'Here I am' is his default singing.

------- Who can forget Captain Sinbad eh? Sinbad!

Sinbad (english singing voice) : Jolly Sailor Bold, when the man joins singing with the woman. See 'Shanty duet' fic. It has the song itself. So ''William singing'' is Sinbad.

Sinbad (bulgarian singing voice - Vasil Naidenov) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLOJwL1i4E0 (You can listen to any of his songs but this one also fits him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caX68hR4PmM (Veselin Marinov) Somehow this one fits Sinbad well. -> However Vasil Naidenov seems like a far better choice for BG singing voice for him. <-

------ Our beloved Golden retriever knight & charmer-- Valen!

Valen (BG singing voice): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgjsVnmfVAk (Stefan Vuldobrev)

Valen (ENG sining voice): Flynn Rider. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRZba7AoCbA (from 2:26 -2:42)

- And spoiler territory for later chapters of both Unwanted Marriage and Unexpected Union-- Amene (Ame), the little ghost girl that is half-bearfolk Mauler, half-vampire, or --A Nephylim!

(Isha's song) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7cwj7UPM8Q This one could be Amene's song to both her mam and dad. Also gives away what happens to her, in a way, her dynamic with her parents. ..

It fits so well with Amene! (She's kinda got her mam's singing. Would've gotten more mellow as she ages and her voice better develops. Not a huge change like how a boy's voice mutates drastically, but still.)

-> This is what Amene would sound like when she sings (older): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dVz0o5qdpI (Rapunzel)

-> Adult!Amene's (BG) singing voice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4u43NQs1Ms (Pusto my mlado)

----------------------- From Unexpected Union, Valen's nephylim daughter and ball of sweet sunshine, Maria! Or Mari for short, auntie Fay's lil copy in a way. ...And then there's her brother, the quiet rebellious firecracker-- Athelric, who is willing to throw down if need be.

Maria's singing (ENG): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-RcmWV7InU (Merida's song) Somehow Merida's voice fits Mari really nicely, plus shows her hidden fiery spirit. She can be rebellious and mighty fierce is needed/really truly angered but otherwise is a cinnamon roll.

Maria's singing (BG) voice: Pasha Hristova - One bulgarian rose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQKLiRBJghc (But when this woman sings a folk-song, somehow she likes to slightly shift her voice. And oh how she keep blowing it out of the water.) A gentle, sweet, but powerful voice!

And here in this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4j8SCJL3FY) -Katerino mome - She sings together with Fay and Alsa. In the next song, Mari sings with Amene (older)! Athelric's singing: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=TJavG4RiE5M Stolas's voice somehow fits Athe so much. It could very easily be that Athe--Athelric. Some of you might recognize him but he's spoilers for later Unexpected Union chapters-- took a large bit of Valen's singing voice but Pirin's shines a smidge too in there. So he pitches it higher/softer (sound like Stolas) to better distinguish himself from his dad and mom.

But you know what voice ALSO fits this rebellious, feisty man? Ed Sheeran's voice!

-> Adult!Athelric's singing (ENG): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ub0Wm8UMko | This is how he sounds when he sings in general, unless pitching and softening his voice to sound like Stolas, when he wants to laugh in the face of nobility/monarchy's arrogance. -> Adult!Athelric's singing voice (BG): Ahat - "Black sheep" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzia7gHWP7I This song just is 100% Athelric, in all his blazing and unwavering, rebellious glory. And yet again, he's dissing injustice and complacency with it, calling to action. This man has some serious beef with the system and its glaring fallacies, the exploitation and everything else, and refuses to shut up or back down. No matter how many times he gets into trouble or how hot the waters are. "I chose this fate on my own myself, the eternal Black sheep."/"No, I can't be like you!"/"No one dared to hear my voice" (Black sheep = Stubborn person, rebel, outcast/outsider.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Well, already saw Amene, here's her younger sibling borne some time after her passing. The offspring of a mountain & lightning, second champion of the Sunseek arena only rivalled by his own parents.

And here's Iliya's adult voice when he sings: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=8vHfVpJ40vs Tho since Athe (like Ame, Iliya and Maria) is a nephylim and has a night nymph's vocal range + mimicry, he could've easily joined Iliya in this song.

How Iliya sounds when he sings as a kid: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=cbIMGEfpWkk

You can hear kid!Athelric sing in either harpy hare (the lamb's lines) and also neath the grove. Also kid!Mari can be heard in Yaelklore's song as well - The 'Harpy hare' shaking her head.

-> Here's where all four nephylims sing (as kiddos still) in English: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=kSMI_5YCnoc&list=OLAK5uy_n6ii8PtrgKtD9HoFyhtZ6c8QCHmBJGByc Mari is the Hare, Athe is the Lamb, Iliya is the Tree and Ame is the Elk/Moose in the song 'Bird cage blue and yellow'.

-> Mari, Ame as adults (along with Alsa, Fay, Cassadee, Cecia and a few other women) singing together in Bulgarian in the first half. The boys join in the next half --Soren, Illiya's voices are most prominent when they take the lead followed by Valen and Athelric second close lead.

-> Kaval Sviri, sung by the women's choir (Mari, Ame, Fay, Cassadee, Cecia, Mirael as well.

-> Kaval Sviri, sung by the boys... but their bulgarian is still work in progress so they trip here and there but are lovely too! (Berial, Valen, Soren, Illiya, Athelric, Sinbad, Lucius jointed in with maybe Dulingr after loosing a prank bet with Dionel.)

-> Here you can hear the boys and girls sing together while they dance!

--------------------------------------------------------- Pirin's singing voice both female and male in one, where's he's playing with it without changing the pitch drastically. (Stays in his tonal range just goes for female first then reveals his real voice. And then switches them up in the ''chanting'' as if in duet.): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKDNiiYzUUA

Berial- Varian in 'Ready as I'll ever be': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9T0kQA1Hnw -------------------------------------------------------------------- All of the boys singing together/Tyr's return intro 'color coded' :

"ध्यान से सुनो, ये आकाश की आवाज़ है सलाम बादशाहे आसमान को, जो है कानून" -(Soren )

"دورد بر تو پدر آسمان، ای برقرار کننده ی نظم در جهان" -(Iliya)

"Χαίρε αυτόν, πατερα ουρανού που πράττει με τιμή" -(Valen, strangely maybe his Dove taught him the lingo for the song like with the rest.)

"Ave padre cielo, che combatti contro il caos" -(Berial, which is ironic. And he'd do it because it's out of pocket for him. This clown's all about chaos, 'subverting' expectations fits in w the definition too...double irony.)

"Heil dir Vater Himmel der Gerechtigkeit spricht" - (Ludovic)

"Hill deg du gamle, som rætfærdigheden sår" -(Pirin)

"Hill du store, som glinser og våker" -(Athelric)

"Hell dig starke, som dundrar och fredar" -(Possibly Dulingr.)

"Heill þú Faðir himinn, er gafr hönd þín fyr friði" - (Sinbad) ---------------------------- P.I.F - "Fairytale" ( ""color-coded intro"") Woman (W)/ Man (M)

---------

W1 (Mirael) M1 (Valen) M2 after M1 (Pirin)

M3 (Berial)

M4 (Lorsan)

W2 (Cecia) This group does the first chorus together. After them are: Berial or Valen opens the 2 verse and then Soren (M5) joins in about how the absurdity was a comedy. Cecia joins after him talking about the roles. Lorsan next. It's this group that does the chorus after verse 2. And really it's just this group that sings the song.

-------------------------------------------------- Aaalright that's voice headcannons done with!

Next up is Paragon lore, so brush off the dust from Wicked Sun- Orderly Moon, because it'll be your bestie for this one! (Seriously.) But for the sake of not having to scroll 10+ meters up and down, this is it's own part 1.

[caluupin]

Within every building made with pride, The architect is trapped inside

[sparks-chaotic-cove]

Okay people hear me out

"Writing on the Wall" by Will Stetson but with Malitae, Deltavera, and Fable.

Reasoning is that they're all gods that create! the artists of the gods, if you will

Lyric analysis underneath cut!

---------------Malitae----------------

Palaces of silver and gold Cannot be designed overnight - Palace of light for Vikesh It's like the saying I've often been told "No matter the cost, do things right" - Malitae with Rae's skirt

You have to be careful You have to be diligent - Malitae painting, drawing, etc all the paintings Planning and measuring every detail - Different portraits Creating is drawing, erasing and drawing again - Portrait, portrait smudged, another portrait And I've never been in it for fame or attention I only work hard, so the structures won't fail - invisible hands sewing But seeing it finished is worth every mora I spend - Malitae with Wolf/Fenris's new outfit!

Within every building made with pride The architect lives on inside - sketches of Malitae's Island Shining paint, a marble heart - Frog with hat, dragon That's what makes a work of art - the sun-moon thing! We build and we play Sculpting dreams out of clay - maybe with what malitae is making rn? With the hope that our towers don't fall That we won't have to see the writing on the wall - TBD

---------------Deltavera----------------

The more you work, the higher the stakes And the bigger the sorrows to drown - Delta caring for the nature 'Cause one mistake is all that it takes For the walls to come crumbling down - Delta ascending, eyes glow?

You have to ignore them, the echoing voices - Delta making more animals That cackle and curse as you toil away - humans being confused by the new creatures Cover your ears and focus on boxes and lines - Enderian walking up And the shadowy figures, they're nothing but shadows - she looks him in the eye, he nods Like ink on a page, they have nothing to say - he walks away, fades to black But maybe, just maybe - Delta looks up They're trying to give me a sign - the ender dragon looks down

That in every building made with pride - Delta looks upon the bear cub The architect remains inside - He pats it's head, ruffling the hair Peeling paint, a heavy heart That's what makes a work of art We scream and we pray Sculpting dreams out of clay As we try not to look at the scrawl - (I'll figure this out later) The message of doom, the writing on the wall - Delta dying

[ there's a little bridge here- so maybe Delta's soul winding around trees and eventually into the little bear cub! Then it'll go to Fable's portion ]

------------------Fable------------------------

Every day, we play this game of chance - Fable smiles at one of the lodestar grove inhabitants Whirling through a desperate dance - switches to Fable talking to Momboo and Ocie Sketching visions in our heads - Fable talking to Rae Just to see them ripped to shreds - Glitches to Icarus yelling at Rae This road that we share - Icarus and Ven in the Cathedral, Ven's already been hit, Icarus panicking Doesn't lead anywhere - Icarus and Fable flying away But there's nothing an artist can do - Centross walking into the cave, a snarl upon his face When you swing your brush, you have to follow through - Close up of Fable. Blood fades into appearing on it

Within every building made with pride The architect is trapped inside Bleeding paint, a shattered heart - Aurelius's death, Taking Rae's shards That's what makes a work of art - stepping through the portal, Isla and Enderian in the background I'll fight for control But the right way takes a toll And still, at the end of it all I can't escape my fate, the writing's on the wall - Will be decided later on! TBD

within every building made with pride

the architect is trapped inside.

[theobs3ssivepuppeteer]

”Within every building made with pride the architect is trapped inside” (Writing On The Wall, Will Wood)

Without shadows:

Infodump under the cut

Henry’s Fredbear suit went off accidentally. Obviously, he did not survive.

He continued his performances as Fredbear after “waking up”, denying his death and trying to act like everything was normal.

This eventually changed to him denying the existence of “Henry”.

After some time, he completely forgot who he used to be.

He doesn’t actually call himself Fredlock (The name is out-of-universe for people to know who tf the creator means when they talk about Henry post-springlock)

After Charlie dies, she constantly tries to get Fredlock to remember his life, but she always fails.

There was no room for Cassidy in the suit with Henry’s corpse already occupying the space. With no further options, William tossed Cassidy’s body elsewhere (whereabouts unknown, the body was never found.)

Cassidy is Shadow Bonnie and Evan (Crying Child) is Shadow Freddy

In FNAF 3, Phone Dude found both Springtrap and Fredlock in the safe room.

Cut to them both fighting each other in the halls of Fazbear Frights, Michael watching through the cameras, very entertained.

Lefty does not exist in this AU (sad)

Over time, Fredlock did start to remember his life

In Pizzeria Simulator, Michael is the one who came up with the plan instead of Henry.

Fredlock swiftly accepted his death, desperate to finally end his suffering

A separate non-canon timeline of this AU exists where Fredlock and Michael find each other. Fredlock stays with Michael, and he slowly regains his memories there.

In that timeline, he doesn’t burn in the pizza sim fire.

Feel free to ask questions about the AU!

WITHIN EVERY BUILDING MADE WITH PRIDE THE ARCHITECT IS TRAPPED INSIDE

[imminent-danger-came]

i think writing on the wall by will stetson is an mk coded song lol. something something 'this road that we share doesn't lead anywhere, but there's nothing an artist can do, when you swing your brush you have to follow through' and lbd & mk's to pain scene + i think a lot of the song fits mk's and swk's parallels and also mk's creation in general (ie: 'within every building made with pride/the architect is trapped inside' and 'sculpting dreams out of clay') i have more to say here but this is getting kind of long lol

Bleeding paint, a shattered heart That’s what makes a work of art I’ll fight for control But the “right way” takes a toll And still, at the end of it all, I can’t escape my fate The writing’s on the wall

Okay so this song is literally just "No matter what I do it's going to lead to pain—it's just like the Lady Bone Demon said, it doesn't matter whether I want to help people or not! Everything I do just- it just makes things worse!" so thank you for that.

But I also think it really speaks to LBD who...all things considered, did try to do everything the "right way" the first time. She tried to guide someone with real power, an Emperor, hoping that she could use him to make a "true difference in the world". But after she failed, after she realized those who reigned didn't care about those they ruled, she decided it was best to just start over, to do away with the system entirely. And so it's like, both the "right way" and the "wrong way" to make a better world leads to pain—if you care then you hurt. With the next antagonist trying to bring about chaos, I'm thinking it's going to go the "there's no pain if you don't care! just cause chaos!" route, which would be VERY interesting for MK.

heavy breathing...huhhuhhh.....hueuhhHH.. . HURHSUAHAHHAHHHHZ.....UAHAUAUHSHSHSHSJEJDJDJDJFJFJJDFJ...GHHEHAHHAHHEHHAHAHHEHHAHHSHS HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Every day we play this game of chance

Whirling through a desperate dance

Sketching visions in our heads

Just to see them ripped to shreds

This road that we share

Doesn't lead anywhere

But there's nothing an artist can do

When you swing your brush, you have to follow through

Within every building made with pride

The architect is trapped inside

Bleeding paint, a shattered heart

That's what makes a work of art

I'll fight for control

But the right way takes a toll

And still, at the end of it all

I can't escape my fate

The writing's on the wall

Writings on the wall -Pride Drabble/open to interactions

Lucifer was ( rudely) awaken by his staff as they pulled the curtains away from his large window in the palace letting in the sunlight , oh right the second day of pride .. he could feel his body and powers buzz from the heavy dose of sin he was taking in from above .. and yet he still felt worn out , {—- Palaces of silver and gold Cannot be designed overnight

It's like the saying I've often been told

"No matter the cost, do things right" ——— }

He made his way to the breakfast taking the advice of the few people close to him and actually eating a healthy breakfast .

He was nibbling on some toast and fruit when he caught the headline on the paper his staff brought him.

{ Pride goeth before a fall!— why include the king in at all??} a column piece about how he let the exterminations happen, how he abandoned the people .. how he’s just a shut in— the usual remarks he’s heard over and over— although apparently him being active again is just him crawling back for attention . Huh that one was new.

“It’s just a bunch of meaningless dribble sire “ one of his kitchen staff told him as they set down his coffee .

“If they feel this strongly it’s not meaningless they should take pride in their feelings” it was easy to fake a smile now he had gotten so good at it .

—- The more you work, the higher the stakes

And the bigger the sorrows to drown

'Cause one mistake is all that it takes for the walls to come crumbling down——-

He got up finished with breakfast , he ate enough he was sure .

He wasn’t blind or as stupid as he acted, he knew what the others thought about him, how they viewed him.. how he failed them again, their words and voices echoing with others in his head as he walked down the hall towards a different part of his palace .

—— You have to ignore them, the echoing voices

That cackle and curse as you toil away

Cover your ears and focus on boxes and lines

And the shadowy figures, they're nothing but shadows

Like ink on a page, they have nothing to say

But maybe, just maybe

They're trying to give me a sign——

He enters a side hallway lit by stained glass depicting , the history of this month, a war and then his fall, arms reaching from above to push him down and arms from below desperate to grab and drag him down .

Another stained glass depicted hell growing and becoming something more as well as skirmishes with golden figures .. heaven . —-

He stopped by one split in half one side showing ‘happy’ demons looking up to him , the other side showing them looking angry as the glass figure of him held the decree of the exterminations . History repeats , his rise and fall all over the windows lighting up the hallway in a myriad of pride colors .

He hums softly and continues walking towards a grand piano it’s Been a while since he’s played .

His fingers glide across the keys as the song comes into affect around him. “Everyday we play this game of chance

Whirling through a desperate dance

Sketching visions in our heads

Just to see them ripped to shreds

This road that we share Doesn't lead anywhere But there's nothing an artist can do. When you swing your brush, you have to follow through “

{He plays harder, the music crescendoing his magic flowing out around him , dancing and writhing along the walls }

“Within every building made with pride The architect is trapped inside Bleeding paint, a shattered heart That's what makes a work of art I'll fight for control. But the "right way" takes a toll. And still, at the end of it all

I can't escape my fate, the writing's on the wall “

He’s draped in all the colors of pride from the stained glass windows as his fingers finally stop their dance across the keys .

Maybe one day he’ll be let off this ride when that last window is finished . It was covered up for now but he knew exactly what it would showcase .

A land of fire and a decapitated dragon with an angelic figure holding up the head in holy light .

“Palaces of silver and gold Cannot be designed overnight. It's like the saying I've often been told. "No matter the cost, do things right" “

he gets up from the piano , he has subjects he needs to take care of , no time for resting.
