Secret Shanghai couples/characters as surprise song mashups

High tide: False God X Slut (kinda based on the vibes for this, also because of Orion canonically being a bit of a manwhore and for the start of fhh when everyone was reporting on Rosalind’s connection to Orion and the fact that in the past people used Dmitri against her)

Rosalind: This is me trying X labyrinth (timt is so her coded and so is labyrinth, thank you Taylor for singing these songs tonight so I could include it)

Alternatively Rosalind (tvd): I almost do X The moment I knew (quite obviously about Dmitri but as it was happening specifically when she finds the note from him in ove)

Again alternatively Rosalind: Closure X a perfectly good heart (doesn’t really need an explanation apgh is her at the end of ove and closure is her at the end of flf)

Orion: The archer X Question (again the archer is so him coded and he just gives midnights vibes)

CeliaXOliver: You are in love X Cowboy like me (I have a lot of feelings about how close they were before they got together okay? And they were friends for YEARS before they did so they lowkey own yail, cowboy like me screams them purely because of how well they understand each other, I can deffo see it being Oliver’s pov)

Alternatively CeliaXOliver: Everything has changed X so high school X Mary’s song (they were just friends then they weren’t, she actually will be 87 when he’ll be 89 and they make each other feel like the teenagers they never got to be)

Philas: Hits different X Death by a thousand cuts (I pictured you with other girls…is giving Phoebe getting jealous of herself, moving on was always easy for her and dbatc is them for most of fhh when they didn’t really trust each other)

Romajuliette: Out of the woods X is it over now X clean (ootw is them in tvd, iion is them in ove and clean is them in last violent call prove me wrong)

Alisa: Clara bow X the lucky one (something about her being the only montagov left in Shanghai and how that should be a good thing but she’s the only montagov lonely and how she was lowkey haunting the narrative in last violent call)

Benmars: State of Grace X you’re on your own kid (mainly the vibes ngl,

bro i finished flf and both novellas in one day and now im going to cry for the next week

anyways. we all know benedikt had a dog called tsarina from tvd, ay? but. but hear me out what if it’s a reference to romeo and juliet act iii scene i where mercutio teases benvolio for beating up a guy over waking up his dog. for all we know merc could just be making shit up for the hell of it but consider. what if.

[theskeletonsinourclosets]

i feel that we as a society do not talk about that one scene in this foul murder when benedikt thinks marshall has been kidnapped enough. that one moment changed the trajectory of my life and i’m tired of pretending like it didn’t

[yelenapines]

chapter 38 of these violent delights stop making me a sobbing mess everytime i read challenge

lvc is just a tooth-rooting fluff fanfic, except the author wrote it, so it's actually canon

old schalke makes me emotional and i can never explain why

[no-1-rosalind-lang-apologist]

[skepticalcatfrog]

I really like this passage but one thing that stands out to me about it is that, since it's from Juliette's POV, she's going on poetically about Roma and she's calling Benedikt a "faded replicant", meanwhile you just KNOW that Marshall is up there on the roof in this exact moment giving the same poetic internal monologue about Benedikt

Historically and ethnicitically accurate (Well, sort of.) heights mean the russian characters are 5'8 -6'1 ish and the chinese characters are 4'10 - 5'6 around.
