#yes thats another song I like

[wandering-lane]

Inspired by the song The Goose and The Wren by Hop Along

I've got a bit of a story worked out behind the song in my brain that's Ace Attorney-ed that isn't obvious from just the drawing (Duh), but I think the drawing is also cool on its own, so a bit of an explanation is below! Warnings for Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice spoilers!

Sorry for no background, I couldn't figure that much out :')

The Goose and The Wren is a VERY good song that I feel matches up very well with my personal interpretation of Nahyuta's character, as well as the events of Spirit of Justice in general.

The Characters-

Goose- Nahyuta, I used specifically a Swan Goose because A, They live in the area I'd imagine Khura'in is, and B, perty goose :)

Wren- Apollo, Small, pointy, need I say more?

Heron- Dhurke, Big boy and also it makes more sense later into the song

"While in the form of the ant The goose and the wren Left the shores of Maryland To find better oxygen"

A baby Apollo and Nahyuta fleeing the conflict of their home country mayhaps?

"While the outcry of twenty men Run from the nearby battalion As if we avoid their light That we might make it home tonight"

Dhurke and the defiant dragons fleeing from the soldiers chasing em

"And one old crook Carries a very heavy book Friends would say 'Sir Are you sure some good Could come of your learning?'"

Bet you can't guess who the old crook is (It's Dhurke)! The book would be Baby Apollo and Nahyuta, the friend is ya boi Datz

"And he said 'My girl gave it to me Just before the war I've never read a book like this before It's giving me kind of a kind of a, kind of a Burning'"

I mean, Amara WOULD have given birth only a bit before she "Died", and Dhurke wouldn't have known much or anything about Apollo. Also the burning bit.. That goes for both of the kiddos, but especially Polly.

"But if it is love then I'm not quite sure if I should keep it But I've heard it's a part of the whole so I guess I need it But I'll certainly be sure to stay above the ground Lately beautiful things got a way of bringing me down"

Mans is basically a kill-on-site wanted criminal. He probably questioned if bringing two small children who not only would be in danger, but also a liability if they were, say, held hostage. But also it's his family and Dhurke is a family man so he takes 'em anyways. He'll certainly be sure to stay away from trouble, and his beautiful things were almost all taken away from him. "Dead" wife moment.

"Here lie one hundred men Fighters every one of them They went into the light and oh no They won't be home tonight"

A post-soj Nahyuta reminisces on his mistakes as a prosecutor, leading not only countless innocent people to their deaths and imprisonments, but also the deaths and imprisonments of the defense attorneys, Defiant Dragons, all people that he was once part of.

"And I came upon a kid with a kite Despite the storms said he's going to fly So I said 'Brother What would your mother say?'"

He thinks back on his younger self, filled with dreams of a bright future. He was going to go into the fray, and he'd lead the Dragons to victory. He thinks back on what he would change.

"And he said 'Hold your tongue! It was a present And God damn I am a man I ain't afraid of the rain!'"

A young headstrong Nahyuta's response to his own older self's warning. He doesn't fear the Ga'ran regime. He's untouchable. (I also like to think of the kite and it being a present as a metaphor to the Defiant Dragon tattoo on his palm. He was given the trust of his father and the Dragons, and that was all he needed.)

"But what can a bystander do? No more than watch the spidery lights take a hold of you But you know I warned you boy You know I told you boy I'll hold you back boy But now I don't know but Cause in a curious kind of way I want to grow along with you"

More reminiscing, he can't do anything to change his past decisions. All he can do is remember as Ga'ran (Spidery lights. It works too perfectly.) wraps a wire around a neck and pulls him into her manipulation. Nahyuta admonishes his younger self, but he also knows that he was carefree and happy back then, and that the reason he's where he is today is because of the past.

"And morning did come I was standing struck dumb By the man in the sun And the only live one Held a string from his thumb That stretched up to the sky Where the heron flew by Singing 'Oh me and oh my!'"

But the storm passed, and the man in the sun (This one's too easy) came, holding the string that connected them all together. To the Heron, Dhurke, to Nahyuta, and to Apollo.

"And the goose and the wren No I have not seen them But the water looks nice So I dare not think twice And I'm sure that they're fine Very good friends of mine Cause sometimes I can't tell When things are unwell"

He isn't back in the mountains with Apollo, but things are calming now, and he doesn't have to worry about Ga'ran's noose around his neck anymore.

"By the look of the sea Starting straight back at me And I miss 'em I do But I think it is true That when the love go It's the lovers who show Just how lovely they are In a song or a scar"

He misses his childhood, but look where he is now. He has Apollo, he has his mother, his sister, all these people. I always tend to think of the "When the love go" part as Nahyuta thinking about Apollo and Klavier. In a song, or a scar (I always hear that part as Star but either works fine).

"Sincerely your friend Write back to me, Wren I've been thinking too much Down here in the sand"

Literally him just thinking about Apollo and bein like don't leave me hangin broski :')

"The farmer stands and says 'What happened to the land? It used to be fertile. It used to be good, when I was a lad.'"

Dhurke looking over Khura'in (Or the law, or both), and commenting on the corruption seeded into it.

"The farmer calls out to his men says 'It's getting late boys, it's best you come back in.'"

It switches from Dhurke yelling to the Defiant Dragons to him just calling out to baby Apollo and Nahyuta. To his sons, telling them to come back inside before it gets too late.

That part repeats a couple times after that, but anyways.

If you can't tell this has a whole animatic in my head that I might put onto paper someday. I've thought far too much about this song.

Anyways pt 2 hope you all enjoy my thoughts, they plague me so now they get to plague you as well.

[<==PREV PAGES] [NEXT PAGE==>(not out yet.wait a year.or maybe more.imagine.]

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

soooo. that new big time rush album huh

[stuck-in-the-ghost-zone]

oh something that irks me to no end btw is when people nitpick playlists based on what the song is "actually about" like stfu I don't care I'm interpreting these lyrics as being about my little guy i don't care that the lyrics are really about heroin. I KNOW..you DONT need to tell me. I KNOW this already. I'm just choosing to ignore it

[dullahandyke]

As much as I do also do this, it is funny to me when people call Vocaloid a genre of music. Like I get what you mean when you say it's your favourite genre culturally but technically speaking it's a bit like saying you've been getting really into listening to the clarinet

Google didn't give me any answers to my question (womp womp) sooo...

Question.

What's it called when you start thinking a sentence but then you have to start over because you didn't "think it right"?

[starwalker03]

How do you write

How do you do the typey typey and have it word good

How do you word so englishly

You know what I mean rieueghuvt maeyfee?

Yehwhe?

Uhhhhhhhhhhh well. Look. This is a very broad way of approaching how writing happens and I am not in the right headspace (sobriety) to answer it in an articulate manner but just. Man you just gotta think real hard sometimes.

Writing is just a lot of thinking and research stacked atop itself in a trench coat.

A lot of people have said very smart things about how to write in better words than I can and they all have some form of truth in them but writing is art and art is subjective and it's different for everyone.

The one thing I can definitely say is to just know what you're writing. In many ways. Like. When I started writing I would get mad at myself for what I'd created because it wasn't right but I didn't actually know what I was wanting. I was just trying to write things and getting mad when I didn't hit that goal post but that's not a goal post that's just a fucking telephone pole you mistook because of all the fog. Why is it a telephone pole, you're supposed to be on a field? You've actually walked off the field. You didn't know where you were going.

You get me?

Be kind to yourself as a writer. If you don't know what you want don't be mad at yourself because you didn't magically do it. If you've never achieved something narratively before then it's not gonna magically happen because you threw up some words on a page. That's what drafts are for, to figure out what the hell you want when you have no idea what that thing really is.

Art is making stuff out of nothing and writing is no different. Sometimes things happen easy and sometimes they don't. Sometimes things happen and they're not what you want, but they let you figure out what it is you don't want. You can fill in the negative space from what you don't want. That's what practice is really. It's just filling pages and saying 'well that wasn't it, let's give it another crack but not do it Like That this time'.

Sometimes you find it easy, sometimes it takes time. That doesn't make you bad. That doesn't make you less of a writer. That just means you're still halfway through making the thing.
