#hhhhhh as for those animatic ideas...

[senblades]

Your piece subtitled with lyrics from The Garden is compelling me to make a(nother) Crane Wives playlist with songs that fit akeshuake. Which could be,,,, so many songs,,,,,

Also The Garden is SUCH a good fit! You're so right!!

Just the whole concept of begging the person you trust as not only "my shield, my steady hand" but also as "my stone" (to be cast at you) to tear down the life you've both buried your ghosts under.

"My darling" who is seemingly as culpable being the one trusted to "put your heart to my ear or set your teeth against my throat" because the singer can no longer handle their guilt, haunted by crows laughing in their garden and ghosts echoing their prayers.

"The devil knows my name."

Augh! The whole thing is such a fantastic akeshuake choice, especially the attachment and trust for someone haunted by the same demons.

It makes me think of an Akira who's burdened by guilt over the casualties that've been left in the wake of their cat-and-mouse game, which is even more interesting in the realm of p5r 3rd semester where one of those casualties /is/ Akechi.

Akechi who is right there, but in the form of a ghost torn from the first rest he's been granted in years. And I can fully see the final verse, all about getting their hands dirty and digging up their garden, being about that 3rd semester.

Wow! I did not expect to go on that ramble! Anyways your art was beautiful and I am so ecstatic whenever I see a cool artist is a Crane Wives fan!! Sorry for the song dissection in your asks but omg The Garden

oooo loving this look at the lyrics. seeing different perspectives on the same song that we associate with the same thing is super fascinating and makes me like it all even more

and aaaAAA don't (do) remind me about my list of vague animatic ideas that I've got in my head HAHAHA. i've never finished an animatic before! but! i sure do want to! you better believe half of them are crane wives songs LMAO

and ough yes yes the whole ~vibe~ of the garden being about twisted attachement and visceral imagery and. my words fail me but know that I am shaking my hands with general excitement
