As you most of you know, I love listening to Ava Max a lot. So, I decided I would try to put one of her songs to a character from The Inheritance Games. Not sure how it will go, but let's get to it!! P.S I'm not sure I will be able to do all of them, and some might have more then one song.
Libby and Drake; Maybe you are the problem and Torn.
Thea: Who's laughing now. and Salt
Rebecca: My way
Emily: Sweet but Psycho
Jameson and Avery: One of us (Not sure about that one)
Avery: OMG what's happening, Kings and Queens, Not your barbie girl, and Choose your fighter.
Grayson: OMG what's happening, Alone pt.2, and Belladonna.
Jameson: Rumors. Maybe?
Grayson toward Emily: Torn, Ghosts, and freaking me out.
All of them: So am I.
Well, that's all I could come up with. Would love to hear what you think in the comments below.
This features every single Twisted Wonderland main character, there are no extra characters (Baul Sebek, Cheka Kingscholar, Rollo Flamm, Fellow Honest, Neige LeBlanche, Che'nya, Teachers, etc.) I'll be continuing this with the other fandoms I have. Some may take up more than one list though (*cough* Record of Ragnarok *cough*). I'll link the other lists below as I make them! Enjoy!!

_______
When did it start?
You didn’t know.
How long had it been going on?
Not a clue in your mind.
But when you finally noticed that things between the two of you were rocky, suddenly you were scared and overthinking everything. What if he decided that he was tired of fighting and asked for a break? After all, it seemed like that was all you two did anymore. Arguing over stupid stuff, big or little, it was nearly every day that one of you were pissed about something. It hadn’t been like this in the beginning of your relationship, or for a while after. There was a love and connection that you’d never experienced with anyone before. Tyler coming home from traveling and shows to spend as much free time with you as humanly possible. All the backstage shenanigans, the late nights sat on the hood of his car snacking and chatting about any and everything you two could think of. You weren’t sure when things took a turn, but you wanted to offer an olive branch and try to fix things.
That’s why you were currently looking around backstage trying to find Tyler, two tickets to a movie he’d been wanting so badly to see for months in hand.
“Y/n what are you doing here?”
Turning at the familiar voice you give a slight wave to Maxwell and clear your throat holding the tickets up.
“I’m looking for Tyler I wanted to take him to a movie and dinner afterwards, have you seen him?”
“He left with Ethan and some of the guys a little while ago I think they were doing another of those vlog hunt things. I’m actually glad that you’re here I’ve been wanting to talk with you about something important but with Tyler around I haven’t had the opportunity.”
You did not like the sound of where this conversation was going but your curiosity got the better of you and you gave a nod of your head. Max motioned with his head for you to follow him, so you silently did fiddling with your fingers as you walked. You were a little confused on what he could want since you got with Tyler you could only recall two or three times you had spoken to the man considering you weren’t a big fan of his character, and he didn’t really care speaking to you anyway. When the two of you finally reached an empty corridor Max turned to you and rubbed a hand over the back of his neck.
“Look I don’t really know how to say this and I’m not looking to start trouble, but I just figured it was best to tell you anyway. Tyler’s been playing you for a fool.”
“Excuse me?”
“Remember how you two go together?”
“Of course, I do, he came up after I got injured by Ruby and helped me to medical than we just started talking often. Then well the rest is self-explanatory.”
“It may seem like that to you, but Tyler only came up to you because of a bet with Ethan Page. The wager basically was if Tyler could talk to one of the female wrestlers that normally they wouldn’t and could get her to fall for him than Ethan and the guys would pay for a couple of pricy items he’s had his eye on for a while.”
You couldn’t breathe, felt like the walls were closing in on you as your ears started ringing. Blinking you open your mouth to speak but stopped.
“I know this is sudden to you, but I figured it was time that you knew about all of this.”
“Why should I believe anything you say? You realize that what you’re saying is the only reason my boyfriend got with me was because of a bet.”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying look I’ve recorded a few conversations between him and the guys here is an important clip you need to listen to. I didn’t manage to get him calling you trash recorded but I go enough.”
Max pressed play on a voice note holding his phone out for you to listen, Tyler’s voice filled your ears as your eyes welled up with tears.
“So how’s everything going since we started this?”
“It’s going fine it’s a piece of cake man I’m telling you this is one of the easiest things I’ve ever done.”
“Are you sure you’re going to be able to keep it up much longer?”
“Of course, I can it’s no worries she’s completely clueless of everything. She trusts me more than anyone she’s even told me herself.”
“Here’s another one.” Max said as he pressed play on another note.
“It’s simple man you get, break and replace that’s exactly what’s been happening for years now, I don’t know how you’re able to do it.”
“Honestly Ethan it’s not that hard I mean come on it’s me we’re talking about ya know? I don’t even really have to try at this point, it just falls right into place. But I’m ready for this to be over already, I hate this.”
“You really are a coldhearted devil.”
When they started laughing you pushed his phone away from you and turned to look at the floor trying to collect yourself. Your heart felt like it was going to pound out of your chest as you pushed a shaky hand to wipe the sudden sweat from your forehead.
“Thank you, Maxwell, lets not tell anyone else about this please.”
“If that’s what you want.”
Giving a nod you cleared your throat and turned silently walking away from him you just needed to make it back to your car without breaking down. You couldn’t handle this, couldn’t believe this was happening. After everything you thought you meant to him but that was obviously a mistake on your part. Stumbling out of the building you got in your car and started it, peeling out of the lot. A lump had grown in your throat and no matter how many times you tried to clear it you couldn’t. Thankfully the company was going to be leaving New York tomorrow, so they could get on the road for their next stop. You needed to start looking for a new place to live, needed to gather all of your stuff before Tyler kicked you out.
Parking your car in your parking spot at his apartment complex you could feel the tears welling up in your eyes but managed to get out of the car and hurry inside. Once up in the apartment you just fell apart, sobbing into a couch pillow as you sat down. Part of you was hoping that you’d wake up from this nightmare with Tyler’s arm wrapped around your waist and your head on his chest. But that was quickly being chased away by the weight of reality.
Crying for a while longer you finally managed to get yourself together enough to start packing a suitcase. You wanted to be out of here before it got dark thankfully you had some money in the bank to get you a hotel room for a couple days. As you were pulling shirts off the hanger and shoving them in the suitcase you hear the front door close.
“No no please.”
You weren’t ready to face him, you couldn’t handle seeing his face yet you needed time you were just going to leave a note for him to find.
“Baby you in here?”
His voice called out from what you assumed was the lounge, staying silent you continued packing your suitcase. When he suddenly came into the room you kept your eyes down as he looked at you confused.
“Where are you headed too?”
Finding it difficult to speak, you stuffed some jeans and your laptop into the suitcase, grabbing your hairbrush and deodorant.
“What did I do now that has you pissed off?”
Stopping you stared at him, Tyler was startled to see your glassy red eyes and the tears falling down your cheeks.
“Baby what happened are you-.”
“Don’t come near me.”
You were trying to be strong but the crack in your voice betrayed the pain you were feeling as his eyes widened.
“What?”
“I know everything so I’m leaving.”
“Leaving? What the hell are you talking about?”
“You know damn well what I’m talking about, the fact that you’re only dating me for a bet you made with fucking Ethan. I want to hear it from your own mouth, tell me you hate me. Tell me you think I’m trash and how replaceable I am.”
Tyler froze staring at you, with a shake of your head and giving a humorless laugh you shove more stuff in your suitcase.
“So, you don’t deny it, I can’t believe you Tyler what the fuck?! You played me like a toy, used me to get something that you could have saved up for. After everything I thought I actually meant something to you, I thought you loved me but this was just a game.”
“Who told you?”
“It’s not important who told me, it’s just important that I know and that you understand it’s not going to continue. I’m done, I want you to lose my number, don’t try and contact me. I don’t know why I’m even saying this it’s not like you care.”
Zipping the case shut you pick it up and shove your way past him setting your case on the floor and grabbing a few of the important things you had brought over.
“Y/n please lets talk about this.”
“Why so you can go into detail about how you were fucking with me, I gave you everything I had in this relationship. I love you and you were just toying with my heart I can’t believe you’d do this.”
“Wait please y/n.”
Grabbing your arm Tyler kept you from pulling away, it hurt your heart being so close to him when all you wanted was him to wrap his arms around you in a hug.
“Okay it’s true that I started talking to you as a bet, but I never intend for our relationship to go past being friends. And when it did, I wasn’t sure how to go about telling you, honestly, I didn’t think you’d ever find out about it so after a while I just stopped worrying. But I don’t think you’re trash, and I do have feelings for you.”
“You’re unbelievable. Don’t lie to me, I heard conversations between you and Ethan about how you weren’t sure how much longer you wanted to do this. And Ethan saying how you get, break and easily replace. I’m a human with emotions and feelings, not some little plaything that you can use until you’re bored. I don’t want to continue this conversation.”
“But y/n you need to listen to me about this please.”
Tyler wasn’t one to beg but at this point he’d beg for as long as he needed to, he wasn’t expecting this to be what he walked in on. And the fact you were packing a suitcase was making his chest hurt, he didn’t want you to leave. He needed to find out who told you this shit so he could kill them.
“Baby please reconsider I want to talk about all of this, I know I should have before but I’m sorry for not doing so.”
It broke his heart watching your eyes fill with tears as your bottom lip wobbled slightly you searched his face for a moment seemingly losing the fight in you.
“I can’t not right now, maybe not ever. Goodbye Tyler.”
Pulling your arm away from him you left the apartment, closing the door behind you and going down to your car. Tyler felt numb as he stood there staring at the door willing, hoping you’d change your mind and come back up. When he felt his phone buzz, he grabbed it quickly thinking maybe you had decided to text him. What he saw made him want to throw up all over the floor.
bands i like that I think BH6 characters would listen to
Hiro: Fall Out Boy, obviously, but honestly I think you can also hear him blasting Marina while working late in the lab when he thinks nobody’s around. Also I think he’s a nightcore girlie but THAT is for his headphones only because he is not revealing he likes nightcore.
Honey Lemon: Another Marina fangirl, for sure. Also Girl In Red, Selena, Shakira, and I could also see her getting into Vocaloid stuff.
Gogo: MOTHER MOTHER. Literally she would love Mother Mother. Also Derivakat
Wasabi: Honestly I think he listens to more instrumental stuff, no lyrics, just instruments and vibes.
Fred: insert basic white boy singer here tbh. I don’t listen to people he would listen to. But he would also like The Stupendium so he has one good taste in music.
Obake: hah, bet you thought I’d actually talk about adult Obake? Nope, teen Obake again. Anyhow, he’d love Starset, iDKHOW, Set It Off, TX2, and MCR. TELL ME that you cannot hear him belting out the lyrics to Icarus, c’mon, you can hear it too (this is me converting you all to become Starset fans tbh). Also I still think Obake would still like all these bands as an adult, he just wouldn’t be as much of a crazy fan. Also I think he appreciates just pure silence as an adult, or the gentle humming of machinery. After all, dealing with Noodle Burger Boy, Trina, and Globby does wear the man out after a while. He still knows all the words to Icarus.
Trina: She inherited Obake’s music taste so she’s a Starset fan too. She likes all their love songs. She’d love their songs Otherworldy, Satellite, and Earthrise. But I think she’s also a Marina fan, and perhaps she’d also like a little Dua Lipa or Ava Max. She loves the entire Barbie soundtrack. Also Lemon Demon.
I feel like Choose Your Fighter by Ava Max and The Consequence of Imagination is Fear by Junie&TheHutFriends are both great songs for BG3 animatics
Like, I feel like Choose Your Fighter would be a great song for the Character Creator section of the game and a fantastic MAP. I mean, there's so many different races and classes, you literally get to choose your fighter. Anytime I hear it I just imagine a giant collaboration between artists drawing their own Tavs and all these different scenes where every Tav handles a scene from the game differently. One runs headfirst into a fight while the other charms the enemies. Just a fun animatic that shows the charm of the game through all the different directions you can go and the different people you can be
And The Consequence of Imagination is Fear is a great song to cover the whole game, with lyrics that match Durge pretty well
"I hear from the witches" (the hag)
"fear sounds of the dead" (Ketheric Thorm or just any old undead enemy)
"the source of the itches lives under my bed" (show a Durge or Tav sleeping, then pan down underground to the Bhaal Temple and the Dead Three)
"Thе antidote we look so hard to find
To purge yourself of fear, relax your mind (parasite)
But heaven only knows
Where my mind leads, the feeling grows (the Urge or the growing parasite)
It knows the consequence of imagination's fear"
You can even add Astarion in there pretty easy
"I met a man downtown the other day with ruby eyes that took my life away."
Idk, I can't animate, and I haven't watched too many animatics, so maybe these already exist, but any time I hear these songs, Bg3 just plays in my head
are there any songs u associate with redacted characters/storylines?
ooooo this is such a good question! (sorry for the months long wait, went through my inbox again and found this amazing question🩵)
some songs I associate with specific characters are:
—lay all your love on me from the mamma mia soundtrack for Asher and David (bc they’ve absolutely had a drunken singalong to this song) or any of the mates as a collective group
—poker face by Lady Gaga, Crazy Girls by TOOPOOR, kiss with a fist by Florence + The Machines and my love is sick by madds buckley for Quinn
—sweet but a psycho by Ava Max (I think) for either angel or babe
—feeling good by Michael Bublé for sweetheart and Milo
—I wanna be in love again by madds buckley and iris by the goo goo dolls for Sam (first one before he met Darlin)
—heart for brains by roar for Ollie’s listener (and he himself, honestly)
those are all the ones I could think of off the top of my head but if y’all want me to make a full post on this, I’d be happy to! thanks sm for this ask and apologies for the wait🩵
i forgot to do last weeks lol, i'll get around to it. This is a good week
Vogue: April's back! Love that the mentioned her by name in the teaser. This time shes left the 80s behind and is now in the 90s lol. She does look a bit more mature in this one, probably to reflect that the song is a 90s song as opposed to IWDWS being 80's. Even with how the store she's in has changed now selling more cds. wonder if any other coaches will appear in the background like they did. I kinda want to draw April now. They have temporarily privated the preview lol, probably because it said it was the ballroom version by accident.
Vogue (Ballroom): At first i thought the lighting looked weird but then i watched it again and it looked normal. Do we know who the dancer is? i'm guessing either one of the choreographers or its someone whos apart of a collab. I know nothing about the vogue style of dance, but this looks like its going to be sore on the arms. I find it weird when there's an actual human in the games because i'm so used to seeing the regular coaches that when the likes of Ava Max or annother real person show up, it throws me off.
Something I Can Feel: They said on twitter that this one incorporates sign language into it as the singer is deaf. It's really cool to look at, dance looks fun as well. At first i thought that this could be the forgotten queen before the events of human, but the more that i look at it the more it looks like the dancer is performing to an audience. Its nice when we get songs like this. I also really like the jump they do, its just satisfying to me.
Yeah!: This ones so funny to me for some reason. Like he's trying to be serious, but he isn't and comes off as more cute than anything. Looks really fun though. Love how he goes into the ddr machine for the chorus. The more i watch it the more adorable the dancer looks and the more he looks like Tyler from Sk8er boi, maybe it is him but we probably won't know until Just Dance tells us his name or posts a meme tomorrow. Can't wait to get the gold move to get a YEAH on YEAH!
ranking:
1 Something I Can Feel.
2 Yeah
3 Both Vogues
Last week i felt that they chose the most random points to cut the previews off at, where as this week it feels like they chose the right parts to end so you still get a good idea. This is a fun week
I love how the coaches that have been returning get updated looks. Like lady citrus from last week is so vibrant and The bride's original look is so clean looking now. Even April, who first appeared last year, now looks like shes adapted to the change of the 90s. Honestly i really like how coaches have been returning as it makes them feel like actual characters. Its also really funny when they bring the most random coach back like did anyone know that Captain Crimson was the coach from Jump in the line before it was mentioned in his lore video, then you go and check and it is the same guy, only more ravaged.
They still haven't updated the 2025 playlist wth this week's and last week's songs.

i can do it with a broken heart by taylor swift
━ history (death tw) (tl;dr below)
Born in the City of Starlight, Velaris, Loren had a life of comfort with the Night Court. Her mother Lissa passed when Lor was still a youngling, and her daughter hardly remembered her. Her father Davos was in the Night’s army, fairly high in rank over centuries of service. He had always been a strict and forthright man, as well as imperious. His daughter had, admittedly, a rather rash streak in personality, and tended to be no stranger to picking fights with others from being easily provoked. But that initial lack of discipline didn’t carry for too long, for Davos had begun training her in actual techniques of combat, which was beneficial in her learning to control all of that pent up energy from her stellar temper. He didn’t wish for his court – nor his family – to be weak, a sentiment that Loren knew now had meant more than they had realized at the time. He never let up in the strictness, nailing it into her that she needed to be ready for tides to turn, for things to go awry at any moment too. Maybe that had been foreshadowing.
That, and Loren had wanted to please him anyway, to make him proud of her. They were not an affectionate family, that much was blaringly obvious. The whole hadn’t received enough hugs as a child sentiment had unfortunately been true for Lor. Nonetheless, the daughter prevailed even as his instruction hadn’t been easy. It had been effective, though. She even gained more comprehension of strategies and court states of affairs too. With skills and knowledge of that caliber in her arsenal, as well as having formed bonds with others of the Night Court as the many decades went by, Loren eventually became Third in Command. Roles in the High Lord’s inner circle were trusted positions and she took hers seriously, occasional hot-headedness aside. And for maybe the first time, they had noted some look of actual pride in their father’s eyes toward her, even if only for a moment. Though she had blissfully ignored the matching calculation in his expression too, like gears in his head were turning for mysterious reasons.
And then news about the Spring Court hit the rest of Prythian some years later, and the land fell into chaos. Loren’s father finally dropped the mask. A traitor, one that even attempted to coerce his daughter into trying to convince the current High Lord of Night to join the other side too. Lor was both baffled and livid, among other emotions, almost killing him where he stood. It could’ve been more logical to arrest him, sure, but he was able to flee regardless. It turned out, that his ambitions and opinions had silently aligned with the Spring Lord’s and Hybern’s for a very long time. It disgusted the daughter he left behind. It disgusted plenty of others in the north too. Loren was always aware of the glances during that time, the wariness of those silently questioning whether or not her loyalties had shifted too. They hadn’t, though. Lor was loyal to the Night Court and to Prythian.
If anything, her father’s deception had made her even more loyal, but also angrier. At least that could be used on the battlefield. As war found its claws in the fae lands, Loren and so many others fought the best they could. However, they all lacked the upper hand and eventually got trapped Under the Mountain. Nothing but dwindling hope, heavy sadness, and everlasting anger seeming to linger between the souls there. The latter was harbored the most by the Night’s third, who had definitely put up a fight during their time there. Uncaged tempers and blaring threats that had become routine toward the enemies keeping them in that dark hopelessness of a place. The rage that filled her maybe could’ve been enough to break their confinements of that mountain if it had been another life. Maybe.
While the containment didn’t last forever, Loren never found it in herself to grant any ounce of forgiveness to the queen who sacrificed herself. That pathetic fool had been a part of the destruction of their home and people, ruins left in the wake. So no, the blonde spared no kindness even if the queen’s choice allowed the courts to be free from the mountain. And yet, Prythian itself was still not free. Not free of the cruel High King. Loren wanted to rip him a part. Same for her treasonous father whom she didn’t even know was alive or not. Not that he wasn’t already dead to her anyway.
━ tl;dr
Born in Velaris, a beautiful city in the Night Court, Loren’s life was comfortable and she may have taken it for granted when she was younger
Her father was in the Night’s army, a stern man who he taught his daughter how to fight, and his instruction had not been easy but had been effective
Eventually Loren became Third in Command many years later, a position in the High Lord’s inner circle, a role she took seriously
When the war broke out, things turned upside down as her father revealed himself as a traitor, having aligned with the Spring Court ruler’s and Hybern’s views for a long time
He tried to coerce Loren to convince the Night’s High Lord to turn too, but Lor was livid and refused, and even tried to kill him before he fled
Loren fought in the war alongside others before they were trapped Under the Mountain, and she had definitely put up a fight there, full of rage over everything
Never did they forgive that mortal queen even if the queen had sacrificed herself, nor will they forgive Hybern or their father, whose current status is unknown to Loren
━ headcanons
Loren’s the kind of person to be like “i’m not jealous” and then proceeds to be the most jealous person there
Exceptional in combat but impulsiveness can get the better of her, causing her to not always think before she acts
Preferred weapons are twin blades and she’s definitely more of a close-range fighter
Has a town house in velaris she’s had for around a century that’s also shielded for protection measures
You get a professional animator to do one (1) animatic for each of your OCs. What song are you chosing, and what vibes are you going for with each OC?
Ooooooh thank you!!! I've thought about hypothetical animatics for some of my OCs before, but... not ALL of them, so this will be interesting!
Rae: Free by Mother Mother. I'm imagining every "Love let my love inside go... free" being a bloom of her abilities, all this bright silver light as she puts shields around what she loves, and all the other parts of the song being some gentler moments from her life.
Robin: I think it would be fun to play into her musical theatre/opera side - Let's Hear It for the Boy by Deniece Williams (from Footloose). The animatic would jump between her onstage, playing out the song as an actor in the musical, and some little soft scenes of her and Peter being all cute together.
Madison: I know when you recommended it first I said that Belladonna by Ava Max was more of a Nikoletta song (and it is, but I have a different animatic idea for her here), but it could work for Madison too I think. It would focus on her mutation, maybe a few fight scenes with her blinking in and out of sight with her glass knives. Then we see her knives get shattered, and the fins and spines breaking through her skin (sort of a stylized version of what happens in her story), and then the final chorus is her with her enhanced mutation (really driving home the "poison/venom" themes there)
Ophelia: Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar. I'd definitely go with a stylized fight scene for her, probably the fight against Charybdis since that's her biggest fight scene. I'm sure there are other songs that would fit her, but... idk man, Heartbreaker is just permanently linked to Ophelia in my mind, I really need a fight scene set to that for her.
Gia: Absolute Lithops Effect by the Mountain Goats. I'm imagining it starting with Gia fresh out of HYDRA, limping on an old and unfitting prosthetic and opening up this rundown and boarded-up shop in Hell's Kitchen. Gradually we see the green come into her life again: she cleans up her shop and paints it in bright colors, flowers bloom, her clover thrives across the back wall of her shop, she gets a new prosthetic and bright tattoos slowly gather on her skin as she rebuilds her life.
Jasper: Falling Away With You by Muse. I already used it for a Heartstrings chapter, but it could also work as this quieter, emotional piece for an animatic. With the lyrics, and the way it switches between these softer verses and a more intense chorus, I could see a series of flashbacks between the soft, lighthearted start to their relationship with Kyle, and then the angsty journey to recovery and readjustment after he dies and is brought back.
Kestrel: This is another one you recommended, but Daffodil by Florence + The Machine. I could see a lot of nature imagery, and a lot of Kestrel's transformations into various different animals. I don't have a particular story in mind, just a cool showcase of Kestrel as a character.
Katherine: The Lion's Roar by First Aid Kit! I can see Katherine wandering through the desert, with golden magic twining around her hands like ribbons, until this mirage appears ahead of her: at first it wavers, then solidifies into a silhouette of a lion, then splits again into two figures walking towards her - Bastet and Sekhmet. They greet her like family members, maybe pull her into a hug or something, then disappear back into the desert.
Quinn: Breakdown by Icon for Hire. I could see this as a past/present thing, where the first half of the video is her before the accident, running and parkouring with her first crew - and then the music cuts off, utter silence, black and white as she falls and hits the ground. The silence lingers for a few long moments.... and then we're back to the song, full color and vibrancy again, with her post-accident still slipping through the crowds and picking pockets.
Eris: Guillotine Dreams by KiNG MALA for sure!! I want to see Eris fighting like an animal, covered in blood but laughing through the whole way, just causing absolute havoc. I just... I want to see them being an utter riot!!
Nikoletta: I still love Whispers by Halsey for her (thanks again for the rec!) and I think that the tone of it really suits her. I think it would be a very stark animatic, a lot of Nikoletta sitting alone in these dark rooms, a lot of black and white with very few details around her (as an echo of her feeling isolated both internally and externally). Either it could just stay there and be an angst piece, or there could be the gradual addition of colors as she bonds with the Squad - yellow for Rick, red for Harley, eventually a whole myriad of colors for Abner.
Jimmy: Hemorrhage (in my Hands) by Fuel. I'm imagining it starting out pretty angsty... Jimmy's lost kiss, him getting shot in the chest and watching the blood spray out into his hands, him waking up as a ghost and wandering Coney Island, and then... right at the end of the song, while he's on his knees and trying desperately to catch the blood spilling out... we see a figure step in and offer him a hand up, and the blood flow begins to slow.
Prometheus: I know I don't usually include them in the lineup, but... I wrote a whole fic about their transformation from a nightmare into a dream, and it's based on The Calling by the Amazing Devil. I would kill to see that whole transformation sequence set to the song.
