Heyyyy. You’ve heard this before and will likely hear it again but just figured out you made the Madds Buckley album covers ^^. Your art style is awesome sksks and I was wondering if the characters on the Sunset on Summerville album cover were anime characters? I know some of the songs in the album were “written for” different mha characters. Thanks ^_^

Hello!!! Thanks so much <333 I'd be more than happy to answer that question!

When Madds and I were discussing the album art, Madds wanted to drive it home that it was, well, based off an anime. However, we didn't want to use the characters from MHA directly! We also ran into the issue of every song on the album being based on different characters, so we couldn't pinpoint who we wanted the characters to be based off of.

Instead, we opted for characters based on the overall theme of the songs! Most of the songs (save for probably cellophane) follow some kind of narrative of one person looking up to or down at another person.

So I thought "what if one character was 'inferior' to the other?" Which birthed these two characters.

These were their final concept designs! They don't necessarily have a set "story" in this album, very unlike her newest album "My Love is Sick" (which I did NOT design the characters for, by the way! That would be the fantastic megane98_ !!) but these two characters still have a vague enough relationship that people can infer, make up, or speculate about :)

Have you heard The Red Means I Love You by Madds Buckley? When I listened to it, it immediately reminded me of Himiko.

“The Red Means I Love You” is the first single from Madds Buckley’s album “Sunset on Summerville” inspired by hit anime “My Hero Academia”, released in February 2021. Like the other songs on the album, this song is about a character in the show, namely villain Himiko Toga. Her Quirk involves drinking her victim’s blood in order to look and sound like them.

So I was listening to Madds Buckley’s ‘Sunset on Summerville’ Album about MHA and couldn’t help but notice that a lot of the songs could fit Umbrella Academy characters. I wrote this in like five minutes so it may be a bit jumbled but I hope you enjoyed.

One/Luther to me is Scotch Tape and Cellophane. The first verse when taken at face value is frustrated with the stickiness of the tape, forcing the singer to suffer while unwrapping the gift. I thought of this like the struggle of Luther and Reginald. Everything Reginald did stuck to Luther and even though his intentions were clear, he wanted his kids to suffer and Luther to be hidden away from the world. The rest of the song is more silly and loving, which shows the character growth Luther went through. He started as a leader type but grew into a very silly and loving character and the transition is mirrored in the song.

Two/Diego would be Little Big Boy. I originally thought that this would fit Five but listening to the song more and more made me change my opinion. Diego has this need to be seen, a need to prove himself. This is shown in his conflict with Luther and his vigilantism. He’s so determined to show everyone that he is the best, due to the fact that he feels as though he is a small fish in the metaphorical pond. The metaphor for water also fits with him since his power in the comics is breathing underwater but that’s less relevant to the comparison. He always wants something out of his reach, something bigger than him, saving JFK, being Number One in the Umbrella Academy. His desperation to prove himself makes him seem like a child vying for the approval of his father even well into adulthood, hence the ‘Little Big Boy.”

Three/Allison is Ambrosia Wine; she can give pleasure or pain, she can rumor someone to shoot themselves, but also to fall in love with her. Her power is quite literally giving people temptations and making them give into them. She is also known by many names and epithets due to her acting career. You cannot deny her, she is quite literally an urge you cannot ignore. This comparison is pretty self explanatory but it’s cool to draw it anyway.

Four/Klaus is Hawk in The Night. This one is more of a broad commentary of how Reginald wanted him to be. Hargreaves wanted Klaus to be powerful, to be obedient. The song is sung from the perspective of someone telling Hawks about how they are happy how he lost himself in his training and childhood, likely his handler. While Klaus didn’t meet the expectations set for him, he lost himself in drugs. The phrase ‘we raised you right’ comes up many times and it shows the self righteousness felt by both Hargreaves and the Commission. Reginald wanted to train Klaus so that he had the potential to be Number One and in doing so caused Klaus to lose his childhood and to shove down himself, desperately clawing at the world that wronged him. Hargreaves wanted him to be empty and emotionless, obedient like One was, and in doing so raised him ‘right,’ with days in the Mausoleum and traumatizing him so much that he had to turn to drugs and not tell anyone he was struggling because both him and Reginald had so much pride.

Five would be Child of Ashes. The warped sound of the song highlights the fact that he’s so much that his mind is a bit twisted. He is a child of ashes and without a home, raised in the apocalypse where his only company was burned buildings and the memory of his dead siblings. The song can also be seen as the manipulatings of the Handler. Telling him that his family won’t care for him now that he’s killed so many, and that he would be better off staying with them. The last line ‘We can watch the world decay,’ only reinforces this. The Handler wants him to stay and watch as his family dies again, in the same inevitable way. He has nowhere to run, his only home for so long was the ashes of the world’s end. The song is only about a minute and a half long so there isn’t much to analyze but it’s sad in its brevity.

Six/Ben is Sunset On Summerville. The sun is brought up again and again, a metaphor for life, the sunset and night being its opposite death. Ben is waiting for Klaus to realize that life is worth living, waiting with him. He is in twilight, the area between life and death, and everyday he is being called to the beyond, but he won’t give up on Klaus. The moon, or death indeed casts a cold light, we see this in the other ghosts that Klaus interacts with, it is so easy to give in to the despair but Ben finds comfort in his brother, the moons frigidity ‘only lasts the night’ but Klaus is there, a warmth or a beacon, a light like the sun of life. This reminds Ben that waiting is worth it. Waiting for Klaus to get sober, to stop being scared of his own power. While Ben longs to live again, he accepts the fact that he can’t, but seeing his siblings live and grow is enough for him to evade the cold embrace of death totally.

Seven/Viktor is Reach. This is actually what got me thinking of this whole thing. He is jealous of his siblings, she wants the spotlight they have. He wants the powers, the acknowledgment from their father. He works so hard, becoming exceptional at the violin, but it is impossible to become exceptional in the eyes of Reginald. He is constantly asking himself what he is doing wrong and when it will be his turn to be in the spotlight. He writes his book to try and lash out and get that spotlight, but instead it makes everyone shun him. He wants his life to be easy, while reaching for something he thinks is out of his grasp. He is left behind, his siblings have training, missions, but he has isolation and his violin. He is bitter, and in Season 1 this is very apparent. He harbors so much anger and frustration that it overflows into all of his actions. Also, fun little factoid, during the line ‘Why can’t I excel at something…like you’ like you is repeated six times, six times for his six other siblings who have powers.

If I had talents in creating edits or art I would make videos of these characters to these songs but alas. Hope this makes sense!

[princess-of-the-corner]

Just found a song that IMEDEATLY made me think of Himiko

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj6ntDEEfeE

So fun fact! This is actually a song /about/ Himiko! Madds Buckley's 'Sunset on Summerville' album is a bunch of songs about different bnha characters! I haven't listened to all of them yet because adhd is a bitch, but 'Brother' is the one that inspired the side plot in Chaos Children about Toya having a little bit of a music career

Music abt MHA?

Music abt MHA? I’ve been looking for some music based off My Hero for a while, and I’ve found the album Sunset on Summerville by Madds Buckley (a very good album even if you don’t know MHA) and I’ve found the song Suneater by Leanna Firestone but that’s it. Any recommendations? Submitted December 22, 2024 at 07:48PM by shinsosleftarm https://ift.tt/pV5x3Fg via /r/Music
