#//I am a freakin' SUCKER for the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice

Listening to Doubt Comes In to get in the mood for a certain reply is just Gold.

#//Digs at the Kiri muse right where it hurts #;mun has spoken #//I am a freakin' SUCKER for the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice #//And that song in particular hits the feels every dang time #//It's a nice inspo for tension-filled threads in general; or ones where he's hesitating #//A myth-based scenario would be so good though #//if not an outright au #//Then Kiri striking a deal with a villain after he's been captured along with his significant other or even a friend #//My personal favorite to picture is Tamaki or Kaminari #//Bc you got Kiri who can't look back at them until he's out of the villain hideout; or else the villain has someone mortally wound them #//And he's forced to walk with them behind him; silently; praying the villain is keeping their words on letting them go if he can succeed #//Hoping that the footsteps he hears behind him really ARE them and not some thug that'll shoot him in the back when he turns around #//That they really WILL make it #//But then he doubts himself. Doubts the villain's promise and challenge. Doubts his loved one is behind him #//And ends up SCREWING THEM OVER BC HE CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE #//The final exchange in the song? *chef's kiss* PERFECTION to portray his last moments with them; reaching out desperately #//In spite of the inevitable consequence of him breaking his end of the challenge bearing over them #//But for a few seconds; he has them; looking at him in grief and fear; but he HAS THEM. He can SEE THEM #//And then is forced to WATCH as they take the brunt of the consequences of his failure #//Delicious; that's some good fuckin' ANGST right there #//Literally everyone @ me: Hey; Allie; can you lighten up? #//My answer? No. No; I cannot #plot ideas #//There; that is now saved so I can WRITE THIS SHIT SOMEDAY
