I was looking through my drafts and found this Keith Gandor headcanon, so I guess enjoy while I continue to procrastinate...

Okay, so gangster films existed in the 1920s. I haven’t seen any of them myself, but a list of some apparently good ones notes that these films were released in the late 1920s (1927-29). I know that a couple gangsters films were also released in the earlier 1920s as well, so take a moment and imagine this:

Keith’s father dies around 1920, and Keith’s this lost young adult whose just taken on a lot of responsibility. The true romanticization of the mafia happens later but there’s a little of the romantic flair in these movies, and Keith uses them as a kind of role model. He can’t look to his father, so now, he’ll look to the big screen to teach him how to be brutal but also how to be fair in a crooked world. Fast forward a bit, going to the movies is still a comfort and a past time, but having experienced running a mafia family for a couple years, these movies have lost their charm. Whatever is written in the script may be a lie, but he’s found himself drawn to the music. He finds that the movie’s score is what makes him feel the emotions that the visuals should be invoking.

He takes Luck to a film once, and his brother comments on how sad the ending was. Keith responds that the film was not that sad, but Luck points out that even Keith looked a little sad. Keith responds it was the music. After that, Keith returns to the theater more often with the goal to listen rather than to watch and falls in love. Luck accompanies him a few more times, and eventually points out that the accompanist is the same for a lot of these films. He suggests they wait until after the show to meet her since Keith likes her music so much.

This is how Keith first meets Kate. Like her music, he finds her to be just as sincere and beautiful, and Keith falls in love for a second time.

An army of rats fleeing from the darkness that you stare blankly into. It calls you. And as you muster your strength to continue where other dare not, a memory enters your mind. Your mother telling you to be careful. Yet you venture deeper to where your eyes cannot even see the walls of these caverns. What drew you to this place? You don’t remember. In fact you don’t remember how you got here. you feel the cold stone walls of the cave and continue deeper as the smell of rot and decay fills your nostrils.

As i wander this frozen plane the darkness warns me of the dangers it holds. My frozen feet and ever slowing heartbeat ensures me that my journey might be cut short. My heart is eased that i might not meet the destination of my journey as my mind reminds me of the thousand eyes of my dreams. A voice commands me “Continue.” I heed it’s command.

A winged demon enters my vision, with cracked skin and red eyes. It lands upon my chest and its horrible stench fills my lungs. Fear. With its pale and wicked claws it plunges into my chest, piercing my pale skin. Withdrawing from it my grey and green veined heart, and with it departing. Flying away into the golden sky and only as my vision fades i notice it’s radiating halo.
