when hozier said "do you think i'd give up? that this might've shook the love from me" and "if someone asked me at the end i'd tell the put me back in it" and "heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i" and "so someone with your eyes might come and hold me like water or christ, hold me like a knife" and "the memory hurts but does me no harm, your hand in my pocket to keep us both warm" and "i will not be great but i'm grateful to get through, the feeling came late, i'm still glad i met you" and "i remember the view, streetlights in the dark blue, the moment i knew i'd no choice but to love you" and "if there was anyone to ever get through this life with their heart still intact, they didn't do it right" and "i don't need to know where we begin and end, i'd still know you, not being shown you, i only need the workin' of my hands" and-

okay but here's why the old therebefore scene in the movie matters to me so much.

lucy gray thought she won, and then then snakes came after and they kept coming. any hope of winning was dwindling rapidly after seeing what they did to the other tributes.

so she decides to do what she does best. she sings.

that was lucy gray's final fuck you, her swan song, this was her going out with dignity. the capitol did not get to change her. they will not get that luxury. they will not get that satisfaction.

and then she sees that they won't hurt her, and she decides to show the capitol just how much power a measly district 12 girl can wield, so she sings straight into that camera. she reminds them of WHAT they are trying to quell. they are not the master of her fate.

she is.

I HAD SO MUCH FUN DRAWING THIS FDJKSLF:J love experimenting with this style omg

I WAS SUPPOSED TO POST THIS IM JANUARY WHEN I FINISHED THE GAME but I have been so crazy busy I haven’t been able to play 😭😭, I’ve barely had time for video games I’m starting to run out of journal spreads too fjdkf. So PLEASE no end game spoilers in tags 🙏🙏🙏 I’m very close to finishing the game

Below is the real version and an alternate version but both are spoilers so DO NOT look at them if you haven't played Bomb Rush (on my knees shaking and crying trying to get people to play)

Real version is on the left (Felix) and alternate version is on the right (Red Felix). I LOVEEEEEE that when you talk to Bel in Mataan she asks if you are Red or Red Felix, that's just such a small detail that gives so much ownership to the player omg.

I cannot express how unbelievably happy this game makes me as someone who grew up playing jsrf. This is everything I could possibly want in a modern adaptation :').

(Needless song dissection incoming)

Okay, I know the lyrics match up tonally with Jonathan's stay in Transylvanian Vampire Hell, hence 'so far from home~,' but it's starting to click home to me as something Dracula must have had on his brain as of/just after October 3rd.

The most obvious reason is that, like the rest of the @re-dracula tunes, it would only make sense to have "Inside You" happening within chronological order of events. Why backpedal all the way to the opening for a time-misplaced tune?

But the subtler reason it's most likely placed right around October 3rd's events? Potentially right after Dracula got a look at white-haired, hollow burning-eyed Jonathan in Piccadilly (and got duly mugged at kukri point)? The style of the song. It's a jaunty, whirling, waltzing, stage-ready melody.

The kind of song Dracula would likely never have heard and summarily gotten stuck in his head until he was in England and in reach of a stage. You don't need an invitation to a theatre! Everyone is welcome with a ticket! So he mills inside the same way he idled his way into wolf-browsing at the zoo, and takes in a show. And the music hooks his ear.

Cue today's spectacle, replete with making the one move guaranteed to enrage and devastate his runaway solicitor--so far from (his) home--and lay the groundwork for the young man ultimately crawling back into his thrall. Holiest love and all.

Jonathan won't stay put to be turned and take his place with the Brides like a good new addition? Jonathan wants to join his nuisance busy-brained beloved in mucking up Dracula's plans for England? Jonathan, the man who belongs belonged to him, wants to defy him, strike at him with more than a spade?

Fine.

Mina is damned by force. It is a heinous assault, but the job is done in minutes, the horror left to stain things in the bastard's absence.

But Jonathan? As the tune gleefully, insidiously implies, Dracula wants to shoulder him back through the gamut of their past roles, to take the time to make him plead for mercy that won't come (for him or her), wringing out the old doomed song and dance from his former captive until all the light he saw in his eyes--hollow-burning, strong, vicious, meaning to make the hunter the hunted--go out before Jonathan is dragged, beaten and broken at last, into the state he barely escaped in the castle.

And, like all the knife-twisting acts of that hellish summer stay, Jonathan will have to do it by choice.

Facing the wolves or waiting out the night.

Kill her or join her, my sweet friend. Don't look so sour, Jonathan. No one is forcing you to do this. Ha ha.

Even in his own sourest moods to come--and the bloodsucking fucker will have PLENTY to be sour about in future entries, get wrecked you undead prick--I imagine humming the little tune to himself will be some balm.

Ugh.

Ever thought abt what Durge may feel when embracing Bhaal again in regards to Orin or others?

Not the badass durge I mean btw. The one that's just too beaten and bruised to keep up this charade of a rebellion and just willingly gives in because they tried but nothing worked and in the end they'd rather become a weapon to be wielded again than keep going and enduring the pain of a lost purpose.

You ever wonder if such a durge prays that no one watches? That Orin wherever she may be won't see them giving in and giving up again, that she won't see Bhaal break her blood kin the same way she was broken in her last moments, relieving such a fresh wound again? That their LI won't watch as they break again, discarding whatever it was they must've once adored? What if they just pray that no one has to see as they surrender and self slaughter all that's left of them to the being that caused this mess in the first place, that no one sees their ultimate shame?

Much to think about (I'm trying so hard not to start another wip rn u don't understand)
