#but. i don't think she could kill isca

[thalassaes]

villain caylis 100% gets her 'this is my perfect victory. that's right, sister. i win.' with isca, at her mercy, likely locked up and isca is jsut like 'it was never a competition!' but it was, at least to caylis. she always lost. now, she can win.

and now that she's won, she can either rule or she can burn the kingdom to the ground. and she's not sure which one she wants.

what are some songs you associate with each of your muses and why? <3

!!!!!!! i'm gonna start with garin because he has the longest spotify playlist right now!

okay, so the top three songs i associate with garin are something in the orange by zach bryan. i know, i know, don't @ my for including country music and tiktok bops. but i think it is v defining for him and his relationship with isca. for garin, life has alwya sbeen chaos and confusion. he's always sought something more, a better life than poverty in a fishing village. isca is the first person in his life that makes sense. and from his perspective, isca just view shim as a blip in her life. but for garin, even when he leaves her behind, she still is with him. he'll never be done with her, his feeling swill never fade. he loves her so much.

seventeen going under by sam fender is a second one! so specifically in a modern verse, he grows up witha single mother. his father abandons them when garin is a baby, and he is like? a big deal. (in fantasy verse garin's dad is a pirate so he takes up beign a pirate to tr and ive up to his father's name). but garin like copes with shit by being a joker. by trying to make other's laugh. by being the butt of a joke. but behind that, anger has settled in his chest. he's angry at the world.he feels the world owes him soemthing. and he;s out to snatch it away from other's.

i'm a wanted man by royal deluxe... bc he's a wanted man!

okay, next is caylis! so. not to be a theatre kid on main but! when the chips are down from hadestown. i think she def aligns with what the fates are saying. 'nobody's righteous, nobody's proud' and 'aim for the heart, shoot to kill, if you don't do it than the other one will' caylis will do what it takes to survive. she was cast out by the king and she had to fend for herself. she will take care of herself. she doesn't trust others, she doesn't let them get close easily. not even isca after everything has happened.

emperor's new clothes by p!atd! so this was on my cj hook playlist but it's also a caylis vibe. 'i'm taking back the crown, all dressed up and naked, i see what' smine and take it'. caylis is a badass what can i say? and also im highkey headcanoning a verse where she kils the king to take over the kingdom. so uh!!!!! alexa play bloody mary by lady gaga.

control by halsey is another song. it's more deeper in her psyche. people are scared of her. they whisper that she's a witch. they cast her out. she is alone so much of the time, with only her loneliness and tears. and her powers terrify her. her dreams haunt her.

also! monster from frozen the broadway musical. bc she thinks she's a monster. and it haunts her.

lastly, ISCA, my baby, my girl. so the first one is running up that hill by kate bush. because she would trade spots with anyone. she would trade spots with caylis and take on her suffering. she would take garin's spot and die for him. even the king, because she knows he carries the weight of the world and is haunted by the death of his people. she would take on everyone else's suffering if she could.

also hurts like hell by fleurie. bc she's loved and she's lost everyone. and it hurts like hell.
