#THAT SCEEEEEEEEEEEEENE

[krenenbaker]

NO CUZ I ONLY STARTED LISTENING TO THE SONG TODAY BUT IT PERFECTLY CAPTURES COUNT LUC'S VIBES. is the apathetic and monotone voice along with the message of wanting to withdraw from society, individuality, and issues with group mentality

because their time as count, it was spent mostly trying to just please the public yk? a lot of their choices were driven by either keeping the masses liking them or to protect themself

UGH i just

i have like this idea for a scene when they were dying of the plague that their portrait hanging in front of their bed (in this au its a portrait of them playing an instrument happily as a bitter reminder to themself of when they were happier) and theyd constantly throw tantrums, screaming and throwing stuff to have the portrait covered. then in the middle of the night theyd get up and pull the sheet covering the portrait off before having some depressed breakdown out of fear of dying idk ITS SO ANGSTY I LOVE IT

not like ik if this scene would make it in if i wrote it down, but yk you get to hear it lol

YESSS I can just imagine the vibes of Count Luc from the mood of the song SO CLEARLY!!! And gosh, their storyline is just... oof. Just from the backstory!!!

ALSO???

"reminder to themself of when they were happier"??? "pull the sheet covering the portrait off before having some depressed breakdown out of fear of dying"???

ashagkjldhfdhakj;hg;adkjs;asdghfa;slkj THE ANGST!!! THE ENERGY!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA JUST HAVING THAT LITTEL IDEA ABOUT THEM IN MY MIND IS AJ SKFAHLLLJF ♡♡♡♡
