#song is 'to my enemies' by saint motel

[hebby-arts]

YOU KNOW THAT TALK IS CHEAP, KEEP TALKING AS I TURN MY CHEEK. YOU KNOW THAT NO ONE REALLY CARES. DID YOU KNOW THAT, DID YOU KNOW THAT? IT WASN'T LONG AGO, YOU WANTED TO SLIT MY THROAT, TO FIND OUT IF MY BLOOD BLEEDS BLUE. DID YOU KNOW THAT, DID YOU KNOW THAT? I AM COMING BACK, BACK, BACK INTO YOUR LIFE!

Do you believe that this is a screencap redraw? Under the cut for the screencap itself!

I ship the hell out of Wes and Eggman. They're literally my faves. I still hope that Ian can somehow get Wes and Breezie back into IDW. We nEED SHENANIGANS from the AoStH crew.

[ okay to reblog, don't delete caption, don't repost! ]

DIVORCEES. WES REALLY GOT A GLOW UP IN THE POST-REBOOT ARCHIE SONIC COMICS. I LOVE THIS FACT, AND REPEATING IT!

[wayfayrr]

I can't quite believe this was first in my drafts in feb and I've only gotten to actually writing it these last two weeks.

This fic was based off of five songs from spotify shuffling one of my playlists which was an idea inspired by @trulytiredhermit and then it kinda just went from there

the songs that I based it on were: To my enemies - Saint motel, stalker’s tango - Autoheart, meet me in the woods - Lord Huron, The red means I love you - Madds Buckley and Bitter water by the oh hellos

You know they say you're nobody until someone wants you dead, and I can't help but feel like it's morbidly accurate for everything that's happened to me recently.

That weird shadow brought me here for whatever, most likely because it wants my head for some reason. and then all of a sudden?

I'm one of the most important people to the heroes of Hyrule, brought here by fate for whatever reason and they all love me… although love might not be the best way to describe it. If you were to ask any of them they'd say "It feels so wrong it's right" Heh how ridiculous to be that obsessed, so I ran as far as I could, lost in a world that isn't my own and one that shouldn’t exist out of fiction. Those boys that I once cared for; who promised me they'd find me someway home, but talk is cheap after all and it's oh so effortless to lie when it brings you so many benefits.

The situation was so incredibly strange, I don't think there's any amount of time where I could've gotten used to it despite what they would say. it started, well I can't say normally as nothing about this is normal, but it started well. they were themselves, they were still sane. but then they started to slip letting me out of their sight, less and less and less until it was like I had to be in at least one of their line of sight at all times, they wouldn't let me talk about my home, wouldn't let me focus on things that weren't them always trying to justify it whether it was to me or themselves I could never tell. Perhaps it was both?

This little journey I’ve taken into the unknown?

Oh, I’ll go back changed, I wonder if those I cared about would even recognise me at this point. How long have I been away at this point, it feels like ages yet my phone says it’s only days. Well in the games back home the games always ran on a much faster time scale, it wouldn’t be impossible that I’m still running off of real-world time; if anything it makes more sense with how I’ve not needed to eat or sleep for days on end. I’ve never been away from the links for this long, not since I started travelling with them that is. They’re probably worried sick at this point; it’s probably only a matter of hours until they do manage to find me. Until Wolfie sniffs me out, Sky uses Fi to dowse for my signal, or even Wild traces me with his slate.

“[name]?”

And with that last thought it’s as if I’ve jinxed myself and my hiding spot. The one thing I can be glad for is that it’s Sky who found me, while his anger is terrifying it’s not on the same level as Time, Warrior or Light forbid if Legend was the one to find me. Sky is oh-so-nice compared to them, even if he is a yandere with a strange fascination, a near-obsessive infatuation.

he still treats me like I'm a person though, so there's that. He, I think if I were to end up with any of them it would be him. 

"oh by Hylia, [name] are you alright? you've been missing for so long, we thought you were kidnapped, but by the looks of it, you've managed to escape them! even, even if it did leave you hurt"

his smile doesn't look right. he's lying, lying straight to my face... 

but it's not like he's lying to me. No, it's like he's trying to convince himself that's what happened. His concern is sweet despite how misplaced it may be; I can't bring myself to break it to him that it's not what happened. Unless...

I couldn't, could I?

oh, but I could.

"link, I- I wasn't kidnapped. I was scared of how the others are acting, I didn't feel safe so- so I ran as far as I could"

This affected me more than I thought, seeing as I could barely finish the sentence without stuttering or coming close to bursting into tears, I hope he reacts the way I want him to and by the look of it, he will.

His face instantly fell when I said that, filled with pity and something else I can't quite put my finger on, the closest thing I can think of is pride but even that doesn't seem right, is, is he smug? Why would he be smug that I’m scared of the others when I…

“Oh my dove, you don't need to be worried now, I'm here. I'm the only one you trust after all; the only one of us you need. you're my betrothed, my one true love until the end of time"

his"betrothed", when did he- how would he- how didn't I realise? Is Skyloftian culture so different to my own? oh, what am I saying of course it's that different. why is he reaching for - the feather? he proposed when he gave me that earring, didn't he?

"I knew I made the right choice when I chose you as mine, we’re perfect for each other can’t you see? And I know I shouldn't love you, I know I shouldn't love you but I do and nothing will separate me from you again as long as I draw breath.”

And isn’t that the truth, that look in his eyes, that stupid lovesick look. I’m not a fool entire for I know exactly what it means. The idea that even if I somehow made it home…

He would find me.

And he would never let go.

How are you even supposed to respond to something like this? This declaration of ownership, that no matter what I do I’m his. To think how I idolised him when he was nothing more than a game character, how naive was I?

Even still I can’t bring myself to hate him, even if he’s a walking red flag. Even if he’s someone I should run from in fear - It’s still Sky, still the only one to welcome me with open arms, the only one to treat me ever so kindly when I was petrified of everything.

Part of me is telling me to leave, to do what's smart and practical. But another part is pulling me towards staying, following my heart even if it means taking a risk. I know I’d have regrets either way for I would be losing something I care for no matter my choice and I’ll need to say something soon to him, even if it’s a lie. I can’t bear to see him so worried, even knowing where that worry is from.

I don't know what the right choice is, but I know that I have to make a decision. And no matter what I choose, I'll have to live with the consequences.

Sol: Lifeline - Jack Stauber, Petals on the Moon -Wasia Project, The King - Sarah Kinsley

[zagreuses-toast]

My Vetinari Playlist. Some songs are very specific others are entirely vibes based, also a lot of girlboss songs because those fit his approach to being a Tyrant the best somehow. Like Vimes he would vehemently hate some of these songs, I have added them nonetheless. Reasoning/guide to the songs under the cut.

Politics and The City, always the City. I think a lot about Vimes' internal monologue from Night Watch about the city's supply chain and Vetinari being the only ruler of the city to really worry about it's function :

Hymn to the Breaking Strain by Secular Solstice (because the Leslie fish version isn't available on Spotify. Vetinari isn't an engineer but he appreciates their value and danger)

All Along The Watchtower by Bear Mcreary (Vimes gets the Jimi Hendrix, Vetinari gets the version from BSG, which is ominous and was used to unveil a conspiracy)

& by Tally Hall

How Now Dark Cloud by TMBG

I Am Alone by TMBG

Darling The Dose by TMBG

His Kiss The Riot from Hades Town (I also imagine if Vetinari sang his voice would be a baritone of this caliber)

The Body Is A Blade by Japanese Breakfast

Stone Cold Coup D'etat

Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles

Ballad of a Politician by Regina Spektor

Everybody Wants to Rule The World by Tears for Fears (cover by NSP)

She's Always A Woman by Billy Joel

The Circle by Secular Solstice (this is actually a carrot song, but there's a reason Carrot and Vetinari get along)

Gun Song from Assassins (I am always thinking about men at arms and the Gonne)

This is where I would normally put the characters love interest songs but Vetinari's one true love is The Bit:

Hate the Villanelle by TMBG

Poisoning Pigeons in the Park & Pollution by Tom Lerher

Rest Employed by The Stupendium

I Palindrome I by TMBG

Party Dog by Tom Cardy (dog things AND city-state politics)

The World's Address by TMBG

Havelock "do I need a button that says Tyrant" Vetinari and his commitment to the Villain bit:

Villain by Stella Jang

Red Right Hand by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Oh No! By MARINA

Villain by K/DA

Feeling Good by Nina Simone cover by Micheal Bublé (Bond villain sounding song but the lyrics are just enjoying normal nice stuff, exactly Vetinari's thing)

Enemy by Imagine Dragons

Bitch Better Have My Money by Rihanna (soundtrack to drumknott getting out the Tax Ledger)

I'm Alive from Next To Normal

No one Knows My Plan by TMBG

Be Prepared from The Lion King (did you think I wouldn't include a real Disney villain song, besides it's JEREMY IRONS aka Vetinari from the Color of Magic tv series)

Vetinari's nihilism and humanism, the roiling sea of evil and the moral imperative to be better than the gods:

Things Are Not What They Appear by The Gothic Archies

Last Wave by TMBG

This Too Shall Pass by Danny Schmidt

They're Only Human from the Death Note musical (hear me out, it's a conversation between Vetinari and Margolotta, you decide who's who)

Let's Get This Over With by TMBG

Cruel to be Cruel by Jessica Law

Living Thing by Electric Light Orchestra (Vetinari and his difficulty getting rid of one of a kind things, I think about leonard of quirm a lot)

Mad World by Gary Jules and Micheal Andrews

Misc:

I Like Fun by TMBG (entirely for the "my excellence at parkour may be unexpected at the age of 58" also the clock thing)

A Good Song Never Dies by Saint Motel (local patrician haunted by a little goblin girl's music forever)

Little Lion Man by Mumford & Sons (Vetinari and Vimes song, ruining his life/the watch, being part of fixing it, constantly pushing him, occasionally pushing too hard)

[abcwordsurge]

heyyy so while prepping for my ohio / michigan "the Game" fic, I've made a playlist that I might as well share, to get you all hyped. not gonna link the playlist, because my account is connected to my last name, but I'll tell you what's on it!

--

"I'm Ready," AJR

good playlist starter, right? shockingly, this is the only AJR song here, even though I love them to bits

lyric of note: "I won't forget you, but I may forget your name" (because ohio doesn't say michigan's name? eh? eh?)

--

"she likes sports," almost monday

mostly in this for the beat and, y'know, sports

--

"Saturday," Twenty Øne Piløts

there are quite a few TØP songs on here (which is great ofc). personally I think ohio's a fan of TØP, because tyler joseph and josh dun are both from columbus, and I like TØP and I'm projecting

also of note: the Game is always on a saturday

--

"Benny Goodman," Saint Motel

there's also a not insignificant number of saint motel songs here, because I find myself incapable of listening to a saint motel songs without thinking of michigan. no rationale for that association, just the vibes

--

"Choke," IDKHBTFM

because I have to have a few songs on the enemies side of enemies to lovers (and also this is a banger)

--

"Kill the Director," The Wombats

I'm going for a romcom with this story, so "if this is a romcom, kill the director" really does something for me. puts me in the mood to write I suppose

--

"True Love," P1NK

it's so cliche to put this on an enemies to lovers playlist, but I couldn't help myself

--

"We Don't Believe What's On TV," Twenty Øne Piløts

not 100% relevant to my story, but the lyric "I used to say I wanna die before I'm old, but because of you I might think twice" lives in my mind rent free

--

"Van Horn," Saint Motel

this is the song that inspired me to write this story. not gonna give away too much, but you'll see once I start posting

--

"Inarticulation," Rio Romeo

oooh I love Rio Romeo. the lyrics to this song are so fun. also I feel like the "I don't know what the words are but something in me cares about you" theme fits this pairing quite well

--

"From the Start," Good Kid

this was actually written by Laufey, but the good kid version of it fits the vibe better

--

"To My Enemies," Saint Motel

the ultimate ohiogan song in my opinion. I think of them every time. I've already written a fic with a title from this song, and I am endlessly tempted to write another. love this song

--

"Tear in My Heart," Twenty Øne Piløts

I can't believe how long it's taken me to realize that this is, like THE ohiogan song. it's so them you guys. also, imo, an incredible playlist closer.

--

now starts the countdown- 14 days till chapter 1!

(also, @xechoecho88x, what with your music-inspired ohio / michigan series, you might find this of interest)

[tntduopolls]

Which song from my tntduo playlist is your favorite?

All I See - NateWantsToBattle

To My Enemies - Saint Motel

as always, propaganda encouraged in Reblogs!

[nyoomfruits]

Drop the lestappen playlist bestie! 💝

alskjfa its on my private account but uh here are the highlights:

kill the director - the wombats

the ULTIMATE enemies to lovers song in my opinion. the HATRED about being in love is just. chef's kiss. also the line 'i've met someone that makes me feel seasick' delightfull. AND 'this is no bridget jones' is that not charles's mantra every time max maxsplains his little heart out and he is trying SO HARD not to go all heart eyes about it

halley's comet - billie eilish

you will very quickly notice a theme in this playlist and the theme is i like to headcanon charles as being absolutely MISERABLE when he realizes he has a crush on max. he's all woe is me about it (meanwhile max has been in love with charles since like they're karting days and is just. vibing tbh) anyway this whole song has a plethora of DELIGHTFUL lines about being upset about your crush but to highlight a few:

i don't want it and i don't want to want you aut in my dreams, i seem to be more honest and i must admit you've been in quite a few

AND my personal favorite because i literally named a fic after it:

silly me to fall in love with you

happy accidents - saint motel

if i think about the possiblity of charles and max never meeting and their intertwined lives too much i will cry but the tldr are is that the following lines make me go !!!!!

if i never laid eyes on you would i feel something missing if you never laid eyes on me would you know something's gone?

wrapped up in books - belle and sebastian

this song is on here for these specific lines and they make me feel feral every single time oh my GOD

you were racing in a car beside a boy you just don't know if he is up for what you have in mind

i won't say (i'm in love) - from disney's hercules

no i will not apologize this is a CHARLES SONG this is charles having been in denial about his crush for YEARS and then being absolutley slapped in the face with it somewhere during the 2022 season thank you

There is a depressing lack of animatics to the song "To My Enemies" by Saint Motel. Someone get on that. Make this a trend. It's so good for all those rivals and/or hero-villain dynamics.

[cosmik-homo]

Listen im not saying To My Enemies by Saint Motel was written dirdctly and intentionally about 1991 fantasy series The Death Gate Cycle. Im just saying the lyrics make no sense in any other context.

Which is fine sometimes songs don't make Literal sense. But.
