[tiffanyachings]

but do the toxic yuri enjoyers know about nobody by the crane wives

[ariariari-freehounreal]

“Nobody ever loved me like she tells me she does.”

.

Wanted to try some dynamic lighting with my favorite horrible sapphics

The song Nobody by the crane wives fits them so well it hurts like the lyrics

“Tender as a bruise, sharper than a razor

Wrap her tentacles around me like she'll never let me go

Her fury shakes the rafters, but never in my favor

I'm trembling in the eye of the only storm I've ever known”

Literally are written abt them idc

.

I spent 6 hours on this and if it flops I’m going to go to your house and eat your family alive I’ll unhinge my jaw like a SNAKE

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Tender as a bruise, sharper than a razor

Wrap her tentacles around me like she'll never let me go

Her fury shakes the rafters, but never in my favor

I'm trembling in the eye of the only storm I've ever known

Nobody by The Crane Wives is an Icarus Morningstar song

Some of it is more of a stretch than others but it is, overall, an Icarus Morningstar song

She woke me up at dawn, soft-spoken as a spider Spinning webs of holy words while she was still asleep

Fable communicated with Icarus, begging them to release him, in every way possible, including through dreams if my memory serves me correctly Kill the moon beneath my window, pull the covers tighter And hear her voice go swinging like a hatchet through the trees

The things are with Icarus almost all the time. Especially towards the end of the SMP, they are often trying to be the voice of reason- and Icarus knows this, Icarus asks us, the things, why we can't just trust them. But on some level, they know what they're doing is wrong, we can see it on their face when they read the chat and process and feel the need to respond, to argue, to defend their actions. And there's something about that, about how they hear us and listen and still keep going with what they were doing anyway. Like they refuse to acknowledge their own reservations about their actions until someone else puts words to them.

There's a shadow at the back door Something's moving in the shade She lights cigarettes like lanterns For the darkness in my head

This is a bit of a reach but this is also about the things. The things, so loud about how Icarus shouldn't do what they're doing, shouldn't side with Fable, shouldn't run after Rae found out about Centross. They bring light to what Icarus is ignoring.

Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me Nobody ever loved me Like she tells me she does

And this is about Fable. This is about Fable manipulating Icarus from the beginning, taking advantage of Icarus' self-imposed isolation(they didn't talk to people unless asked to, Rae or Centross had to get them out of the house often), how after Centross died Fable said he'd bring him back. And Icarus listening to what he told them, only what he told them.

Tender as a bruise, sharper than a razor Wrap her tentacles around me like she'll never let me go

Fable needed to keep Icarus on his side. He would manipulate them as much as he needed to in order to keep his child on his side. But some part of Icarus knew Fable was and would continue doing more harm than good. Her fury shakes the rafters, but never in my favor I'm trembling in the eye of the only storm I've ever known

Fable wasn't exactly kind to Icarus. And I think that's putting it lightly. Icarus, whether they realized it or not, was at least a little afraid of Fable. They're also desperate for his attention, his praise, his *love*. And they didn't get it, did they? But they got his disappointment when they failed to follow through.

The keys are in the back door Something's wailing in my chest It eclipses every siren Any sins that she's confessed

Icarus could've left! They could've. They could've gone back to Rae. Ven left, and would have taken them with. Arisanna too. And they know this, they know that leaving was always an option in the back of their mind and that part of them was crying, screaming, begging to leave and would not stop.

Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me Nobody ever loved me So she tells me

The "So she tells me" carries so much. Who has loved Icarus the way Fable claims he does? Who has cared the way Fable claims? After Centross died Icarus was vulnerable and Fable preyed on that. So he tells them he will bring their friend, their best friend, back. Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me Nobody ever loved me Like she tells me she does

And Icarus agrees. Icarus believes. Icarus believes Fable, and considers nobody else.

I should be counting blessings Something is better than nothing Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it?

This is enough, for Icarus. This isolation, this cage Fable put them in, they put themselves in. Because they have something, right? This belief that when all is said and done, Centross will be brought back. Right? Right? They're lucky Fable cares, aren't they? It's close enough to perfect What does it hurt, a little bit? A little bit A little bit The glitching hurt. Missing Centross hurts. Being alone hurts. But it's okay. It's okay. They're making everything better, they're fixing everything. Who cares if it hurts?

Maybe they deserve to hurt

Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me Nobody ever loved me Like she loves me

This is Icarus' final acceptance. They know what they're doing is wrong but they're in too deep now. Nobody ever loved them like Fable does because Fable doesn't, thats the thing. But they're in too deep, they're too far gone, they are in their own mind beyond saving.

Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me Nobody ever loved me Like she tells me she does

But in the end, its fake. Fable always tells them, and nothing else. And they listen. They listen to what Fable tells them.

Part #5 of DSMP-coded song series! I haven't done one in a while so I'll do a lightning round of a few random characters or duos!

Philza and Kristin. Come on, it's so sweet, it's literally them

C! TNT Duo(/r)

"One of us just has to change, you say the same"

"Twist my umbrella 'til it's inside-out, Hand you a bouquet of rain"

"Did I shout or think I could save you this way?"

"Then you looked in my eyes and said, 'How dare you love me? When you should despise me? You should be scared of me,' It seems that that's what it means when somebody needs you"

"When the smoke clears are we friends or strangers again? Just a familiar face"

"So how could we separately heal? God, I don't get it. I really don't get it, Could someone tell me how to feel?"

"So watch your step or you'll trip and fall right out of love"

"'Til death do us part, please keep breaking my heart, 'Til it ceases to beat, please be mine"

"So if love conquers all, then all else must have failed, I mean, who wants to fall? Can't we just take the stairs?"

C! Clingy Duo, especially New L'manberg time right before and after Tommy gets exiled

C! Crimeboys or C! TNT Duo(but headcanon-ized), in a what-if scenario if Tommy or Quackity found Wilbur in the button room on the 16th instead of Phil. (C! Wilbur is so JD-coded, this is very old news in this fandom)

C! TNT Duo(/r) /hj but not really. Idk, it just kinda fits how I imagine their dynamic

C! Disc Duo in Exile arc. So fun :D Nothing ever happened ever in exile arc

"Nobody ever loved me, Like she tells me she does" Dream claiming he's Tommy's only friend and no one else cares for him like Dream cares about him.

"Tender as a bruise, sharper than a razor, Wrap her tentacles around me like she'll never let me go, Her fury shakes the rafters, but never in my favor" Whenever Dream gives angry(sometimes physically) at Tommy for whatever reason

"I should be counting blessings, Something is better than nothing, Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it? It's close enough to perfect, What does it hurt, a little bit?" Tommy trying to convince himself that exile is fine and that Dream really is his friend and he should be grateful for him despite how much Dream is hurting him.

TENDER AS A BRUISE SHARPER THAN A RAZOR WRAP HER TENTACLES AROUND ME LIKE SHE'LL NEVER LET ME GO . HER FURY SHAKES THE RAFTER BUT NEVER AT MY FAVOR, IM TREMBLING IN THE EYE OF THE ONLY STORM IVE EVER KNOWN

[angelellipsis-devilofdots]

ok i cannot be the only one who thinks that nobody by the crane wives is very ciri and mistle coded

"She woke me up at dawn, soft-spoken as a spider Spinning webs of holy words while she was still asleep Kill the moon beneath my window, pull the covers tighter And hear her voice go swinging like a hatchet through the trees"

"Tender as a bruise, sharper than a razor Wrap her tentacles around me like she'll never let me go Her fury shakes the rafters, but never in my favor I'm trembling in the eye of the only storm I've ever known"

"Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me Nobody ever loved me So she tells me Nobody ever loved me, ever loved me Nobody ever loved me Like she tells me she does"

"I should be counting blessings Something is better than nothing Isn't it, isn't it, isn't it? It's close enough to perfect What does it hurt, a little bit?"

they obviously have a very toxic relationship and mistle has manipulated ciri into believing everything that has happened is okay and they love each other. i feel so bad for ciri

[clerichs-xi]

tender as a bruise, sharper than a razor wrap her tentacles around me like she'll never let me go

klaus' backstory arc just ended heho and it was revealed he used to be the lover of the goddess of storms and pirates... she had basically kidnapped him and imprisoned him into murder and piracy for 20 years and needless to say it greatly damaged him on every level <3 its okay he's been able to be normal for once since the start of the campaign thanks to the party aka his new found family

get urself a surrogate middle-aged father who can speedrun a forbidden romance in one minute and then immediately go to confront the darkest version/a corrupted version of himself, as well as his toxic lover as she tortures him -w-)b

details and just the lines hehe

Today's Earworm is:

Nobody by The Crane Wives

Outstanding lyric:

Tender as a bruise / sharper than a razor / wraps her tentacles around me / like she'll never let me go

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Tender as a bruise, sharper than a razor

Wrap her tentacles around me like she'll never let me go

Her fury shakes the rafters, but never in my favor

I'm trembling in the eye of the only storm I've ever known

[marshmallowprotection]

The song “nobody” by the crane wives is giving strong Ray vibes

Tender as a bruise Sharper than a razor Wraps her tentacles around me Like she'll never let me go Fury shakes the rafters, but never in my favor I'm trembling in the eye of the only storm I've ever known

God. It's like the realization he has when he figures out that he loves you... not just loving the idea of you, but loving you as a person and dreaming of being with you because of it. But, loving you is a danger, isn't it? Rika doesn't want him to be in love... because loving you will mean that she'll lose her son and pawn. Can't have that... that's why it's never in his favor.
