Prison duo playlist analysis day 3 - Absence by Rio Romeo
Mmmm this songgggg me whennnnnn
I have two takes on this- One being Centross and one being Icarus. I’m gonna focus on the Centross one because I think it’s more accurate.
Just… the idea that he knew he was going to die. He knew the whole time- he didn’t know all the details, sure, but he *knew* and he *felt it*
And- he knew Icarus would not be prepared for that. Would not accept that. He knew at that time they were already struggling and he was one of the only people they were letting in. He knew that- and he was trying to push them to go talk to Rae and Athena and others because he knew he wouldn’t hold that place for much longer.
“If I just vanished do you think you’d manage? Or would you disappear right beside me?”
Because oh Icarus would. Like I said in my last post Centross was the one keeping them “sane”, their anchor keeping them from completely spiraling and when he was gone they went off the rails- spiraling so hard when he wasn’t there to help keep them steady.
You could say they did disappear the day he died. The Icarus who we knew and loved and we know cared and was kind and loved the people around them was gone. All they were focused on was trying to fix it- trying to bring him back. The Icarus Rae and Athena and everyone else in the grove knew and cared about was gone leaving just a shell of who they are- or maybe they’re the most themself they have been in the past, but that’s an argument for another time.
“Pray my baby will not squander everything to gain by my leaving”
Ah. He died to give them a chance- “make sure you do the right thing. You’ll know what I mean soon enough.” “The rest is up to you friend. I hope you all live fulfilling lives, I know that I got to because of all of you.” (Don’t mind me going and crying-)
He is giving them the opportunity to help- hoping they won’t put it to waste.
Now- I put this specifically on my prison duo playlist vs my Wolftross or Ocie and Centross ones because I feel like he knows they can take care of themselves. He mentions again in when the pieces crumble the line of
“So that Kai can watch Oscar grow up, So that Wolf and Rae can stay together and be there for eachother. I do this for all of lodestar grove, so that each and every one of them has a chance to have a happy life.”
He knows they can take care of themselves- he knows they have that support system that safety net. But he also knows at this point Icarus does not- which like I mentioned before is one of the reasons he pushing them to talk to Rae and Athena again and stop isolating themself because he knows what Fable is doing and he knows that they need it- and he knows he won’t be there to be that person for much longer.
That’s all- really. I don’t want to get too repetitive :]
The image chosen from my prison duo Pinterest board today is-
wow- look at that sad bird man. They’re so upset. :[
Anyway- I hope you like these cause I think they’re silly and fun :]
You are so loved! Go take any meds if you have to and eat and drink some water if you haven’t yet! Have a good rest of your day/night <3

I keep seeing people use this image as a reaction to people's original posts:
Which I think is really incorrect, because with an original post they haven't come up to ur window, u've come up to their window.
So I made this, as a more accurate reaction for original posts:
