"Many people have dreams in the facility. Some in progress, others fulfilled. But there are those who feel as though they'll never achieve these end goals. These are known as the Longing Dreamers; those who will never fulfill their deepest desires."

Alex

"What could he do? Should have been a rockstar."

"But he didn't have the money for a guitar."

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ Alex always loved playing the guitar. Seeing all those rockstars play their shiny, bright, guitars always made him want to become a famous musician. It was his biggest dream since he was a little boy. However...as time went by, he found himself focusing more on trying to become smart enough to earn himself a position in the government field, helping with an important experiment. Anyone working in this area would earn good money, and he really needed it for his family. Well, his siblings mainly...his parents never supported him or his dreams. So, he worked endlessly to go to college for this job, never finding the time to buy himself a guitar.

Once Alex graduated, he got ready to leave for the facility he would be working at.

He finally got the job...

But at what cost? ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Ryan "What could he do? Should have been a politician" "But he never had a proper education"

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ Since he was a little boy, Ryan wanted to help make a change in the world. He figured being someone of importance could mean he could fix everybody's problems; politicians always knew what the people wanted, and they would always give what the people needed. Plus, they didn't need any specific education, they just needed the time, communication skills, and understand the people's needs.

But that was just it; Ryan didn't know how to communicate to others. He didn't know how to read emotions, understand needs or wants, or have the time to do any of this. He was already failing school, so he couldn't focus on working on these skills if he was trying to fix his grades.

He hated socializng

And talking in front of big crowds

So, how could he make a change when he can barely talk in front of thousands of people...?

...He's always been better at throwing punches...at least he had some use to this pathetic facility... ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

Thomas "What could he do? Should have been a father"

"But he never made it to his twenties."

˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ She was always with him. She had always been with him. Jasmine was his one true love. Thomas loved her dearly; he couldn't ever dare leave her for anybody else.

They always had plans of marriage, plans of settling down by the mountains. Plans of having a family. Two bright and lively kids. They would run and play in the outdoors while Thomas and Jasmine watched from the porch of their cabin, smiling as the family dog lazily slept beside them. His arm would be around Jasmine, gently bringing her in as he kissed her affectionately.

These were his plans. These were Jasmine's plans. Plan after plan, discussion after discussion. Jasmine would wait for the day when he finally got on his knees for her, proposing his love to her. She waited, and Thomas prepared.

The day coming closer and closer.

But that plan never played out on that day.

Thomas was only visiting his boss. His boss needed to discuss something with him.

That was the last time Thomas had control of his sanity. ˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗

But even if I'm still tainted by the curse, ♒︎ ♒︎ ♒︎

Even if this love won't last forever, so what? ʚ

♰ I'd rather spend an eternity without you ♰

I want to wander with you through this finite time ꔛ˙˚

guy who's unaware he's gonna spend the next 3-5 hours reworking the lyrics of dream sweet in sea major: haha maybe i'll write a silly little narrative for my hmself, wouldn't that be fun? :)

[occasionallyprosie]

Okay I'm supposed to be studying but like I'm having thoughts about the song that's playing right now.

But Eight by Sleeping At Last? Major Legend vibes

"I was just a kid who grew up strong enough To pick this armor up And suddenly it fit God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago"

He was a child and has been doing this for (in my hc) a decade now. He did not choose this life, but the moment Fable called out to him and he found his Uncle dying? No going back.

"Now you won't see all that I have to lose And all that I've lost in the fight to protect it I won't let you in, I swore never again I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected"

This is especially perfect for anyone who wants to go into Legend learning to love again with the Chain, be it after Marin or anyone else he's loved and lost. He won't let himself do it, and if you (like me) subscribe to the idea that he's a sweetheart at his core, he can't afford to keep losing people because at some point he's going to break.

"I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough To hold the door shut And bury my innocence But here's a map, here's a shovel"

He's hidden himself under the mask of a gruff, harsh, grizzled veteran, but the kid who was buried since he took up that sword and shield is still there... and if you want, if you like, he's given the Chain the map (glimpses of his true self) and the shovel (his trust) to find it and help him... I don't know, be a kid again? Be himself again?

"For the innocent, for the vulnerable And I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, give my sweat An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken"

Though this part is actually more like two different stanzas, which individually are still great, these together describe him as a hero so well. Again and again, he's gone to the front lines and he's given everything he has to protect the innocent and the vulnerable. At least in the Oracles manga, we see his determination to protect those who can't fight their battles and he gladly fights beside those who can.

Really I just have thoughts about this song and how well it fits Legend.

"it's a typical story: three in the morning, you're holding my hand."

[melien]

So how can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in I can still see you This ain't the best view On the outside looking in And I've been a lot of lonely places I've never been on the outside

wonder if his storyline is gonna start to progress soon👀

[hozaloza]

(Small spoilers for episode 76, technically...not really but this takes place after that episode)

Alex placed the food on the table, looking at Ashlyn.

"...Ms. Banner.? Are you alright?" He asked, looking at the child worriedly. She said nothing, just hugging her knees as she sat on the bed. "....Has something upset you...?" He asked, taking a small step forward. He noticed her holding the note, and felt himself relax a little knowing that she had been able to read the note. Still, she remained on the bed.

...

"You know, I think you could have a real good time..." he quietly spoke, finally catching her attention, "...if you just took a moment to breathe." he finally finished, approaching her before sitting down on the bed across from her. Ashlyn looked at him before bringing her gaze back to the ground.

"...Hm.." She quietly hummed. He was glad she had at least considered the idea. He wanted her to calm down so that her mind could focus more; if she really could communicate with the others, then perhaps they could figure out a way to escape.

"So, let's do a simple calming exercise...why don't you put your hands in mine? And we could cool your mind down as you seethe?" He suggested, bringing his hands out so she could place her hands on his palms. It was a simple breathing exercise Alex had learned from his brother; hold someone's hands as you breathed slowly and thought about what made you angry. It was an easy way to cool off your mind.

"Just close your eyes and think about what makes you upset. What about this place is keeping your mind cluttered.?" He asked, trying to help start her off. He had always seen his brother close his eyes, so he closed his as well.

...

Meanwhile, as Ashlyn tried to do this strange exercise, she suddenly heard a phantom....and then...the smell of a corpse...She almost gagged....

"...Do you smell something rotting...?" She had muttered, her eyes widening. But Alex didn't hear her right; he thought she was worried about the cameras seeing this as suspicious.

"Don't worry, no one's watching." He tried to reassure her, still keeping his eyes closed.

"I swear there's something spotting..." she mumbled again, feeling her vision blur.

"..Ms. Banner, are you forestalling--" but before he could finish his sentence, his gaze was met upon a face he had seen before...the day he brought her to see the infected...

"Is there a fear to discuss it?" Ashlyn had spoke...but was it really Ashlyn...or was it an imposter.... Alex's heart stopped when he saw her expression. What was going on...where the cameras seeing this...there's no way they were on at this point...

...whatever was happening...he knew it wasn't Ashlyn he was speaking to anymore... "...Your face has admitted..." "That whoever you are, you should leave her be!!"

"That wherever you are! I will hunt you soon!!"

They had yelled at the same time.

...hunt...? Who...

*Cough cough* *Gag* Alex had let go of her hands to check up on her. Had the thing...

"*cough* W-what...*gag* w-what happened...?" She mumbled confusingly, holding her head. The freakish smile was gone...

"Ms. Banner?? Are you alright..??" He asked concerningly. Was she not aware of what had just happened.??

"..I...I blacked out...?" She asked, looking at her hands, "...did I black out...?" Alex stared at her in utter disbelief. How did that...

"....can you answer my question...?" "...what.?" "Please...answer my QUESTION!!" she suddenly yelled, her eyes color flickering black before returning back to green. Alex jumped back at the sudden volume, unsure of what she was talking about.

"...w-what...?" he stuttered, somewhat scared of what could happen next. Ashlyn breathed heavily, slowly calming herself down before slumping her shoulders.

"...sorry..." she mumbled, her gaze being caught by something next to her. "..uh--I read the letter...it doesn't sound like a bad idea..." she whispered, trying to make sure the camera didn't hear. However, Alex had an odd feeling about the cameras. He didn't feel...watched...

"....you don't have to whisper, I have a feeling the cameras may have malfunctioned again..."

i think steampianist's thing really suits kabukimono. the speaker in the song struggles to convey emotions properly and wishes to have certain traits ("hair like yours," "hands like yours," "eyes to stare and to cry with," "fingers that curl in the cold"), which can be read as fervently coveting to look and feel "normal." or, in kabukimono's case, to look and feel human.

like the speaker in the song, kabukimono cannot understand or show certain emotions, and so he learns from those around him (like a sponge absorbing new information) about human life. he hides his true nature as a puppet and learns how to live as a human, but as human as he may act he can never truly be human if the parameters set for what it means to be human are that (1) you must have a heart and (2) your lifespan must be finite (which are parameters kabukimono thinks equals humanity). he has neither of these, which is why he never truly views himself as a human even though you could argue that being "human" simply means you are a complex individual who can feel, think, speak, and articulate (all things kabukimono is capable of).

as the song nears its conclusion, it's implied that the speaker hurt or killed their friends in some way, and you learn that all along this "thing" has wanted companionship and to feel and display emotions properly. but something goes wrong and the result is this eerie line: "struggling only makes the hugs much tighter." both kabukimono and the speaker in the song are driven by their obsessions, and both have bloodied their hands as the result of their circumstances (kabukimono's motivation for murder being revenge and the speaker's most likely being the threat of their friends leaving, so they become determined to make them stay even if it ends in death).

and by the end, the speaker still continues to wish for the traits mentioned above. likewise, kabukimono continues in his travels after sating his hunger for revenge and with "human" traits he has learned and experienced throughout his journey, only to soon step onto the path that leads him to becoming a harbinger once he comes to believe that his "humanity" is a sign of weakness. and so he does away with the things that made him human and starts a new era of his existence (albeit a more violent, cruel one), much like how the speaker in the song will probably continue to search for a way to express themselves in socially acceptable ways.

i think popopo could also fit kabukimono in that it's a song about an alien who travels from planet to planet in hopes of finding a home and a friend, but no one accepts or wants him so he is constantly shunned and lonesome. thus he is a "shooting star sinking in the spacey, black tar" with "hopes and dreams in teardrops," which are lines that fit kabukimono so much!

todd and neil are so “please stay” by lucy dacus coded

[chiropteracupola]

but still I keep your hand, as a precious souvenir...

[itwaslegendary]

the parallels between so long, london and you’re losing me still have me on a chokehold cause “and i’m fading thinking ‘do something, babe, say something. lose something, babe, risk something. choose something, babe, i’ve got nothing to believe until you’re choosing me’” // “and you say i abandoned the ship but i was going down with it, my white knuckle dying grip, holding tired to your quiet resentment” is crazy

also the medical/resuscitation imagery: “i can’t find a pulse, my heart won’t start anymore for you” // “i stopped cpr, after all, it’s no use”… god she’s a genius

(edit) and another one: “my face was grey but you wouldn’t admit that we were sick” // “and i’m just getting color back into my face” ughhhhh
