people are puppets held together with string

there’s a beautiful sadness that runs through him…

time and again boys are raised to be men

impatient they start, fearful they end

oh, he could not break surface tension

he looked in the wrong place for redemption…

he couldn’t be saved

a sadness runs through him

a sadness runs through him - the hoosiers

" time and again, boys race to be men. impatient they start, fearful they end. but, here was a man mourning tomorrow. he drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow. oh, he could not break surface tension. he looked in the wrong place for redemption. don't look at me with those eyes. I tried to anaesthetize, turn back the time that drew him. but he couldn't be saved. a sadness run through him. "

a sadness runs through him by the hoosiers

finished that otto artwork !! it's not very rendered as it's meant to be very sketched up and rough, but I hope y'all like it !! tried to make sure hues were mostly purple, red, yellow, blue, and white.

this was based from the chapter 5 episode but works as an overall character artwork !! and oh yea', this was referenced off of some photos I took to try and get the feel for the hands and the fear in his eyes specifically <3 so, just hope y'all dig it !! now time to make an otto playlist because all these hoosiers songs really vibing with him and noone rn

[skullhaver]

and if 3.5 years into a D&D campaign I put together an OC playlist for Athren for the first time and wrote up comically detailed accompanying notes, what then

[Menzoberranzan]

1. Why We Build the Wall // Between the Wars - Billy Bragg

The enemy is poverty And the wall keeps out the enemy And we build the wall to keep us free // For theirs is a land with a wall around it And mine is a faith in my fellow man

These two songs function together, both in Billy Bragg's voice. "Why We Build The Wall" functions here as an overarching, archetypal "oppressive society" song. Here we establish our lawfully-reflavoured homebrew Menzoberranzan, with its assigned-at-birth haves and have-nots. Then we zoom in on this ordinary family doing their jobs between extraordinary times of conflict. Athren grows up and becomes a young adult as Just Some Guy during, "The peace we knew between the wars."

2. Second Child, Restless Child - The Oh Hellos

See, I was born the second child With a spirit running wild, running free And they saw trouble in my eyes They were quick to recognize the devil in me This song is so straightforwardly, heart-wrenchingly Athren, it doesn't need annotation. He wants to do his duty but his main character/PC energy is just too strong.

3. A Sadness Runs Through Him - The Hoosiers

Oh, he could not break surface tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption Athren can tolerate chaffing against the restrictions of his caste, but he can't tolerate the abuses perpetrated on him and his family by his House's nobility. Wonder what he's gonna do about it?

4. Santé - Stromae

Et si on célébrait ceux qui ne célèbrent pas Pour une fois, j'aimerais lever mon verre à ceux qui n'en ont pas [In English] What if we celebrated those who don't celebrate For once, I'd like to raise a glass to those who don't have one [also functions as a pun - "raise a glass to the have-nots"] This song salutes ordinary workers (the title, meaning "health," is a toast), including some specific jobs like house cleaners and nannies, who keep life running while the rich party. Fills the narrative role of growing worker solidarity between House Vandree and House Auvryndar during coup strategizing.

5. Blue Automatic - Thank You Scientist

Toxic feeling, pacing back and forth again The floor, the ceiling, feel it closing in This is the end Without a place, to rest your head You got nowhere to go, your Back's against the wall Your back's against the wall I listened to this album a lot while we were first doing character creation and kicking off the campaign. I came to permanently associate it with Athren. This song in particular has long been the "chaos of the failed coup attempt" song.

6. DEBT COLLECTOR - Jhariah

It's all catching up to you now Hope you can run 'Cause soon your past will come and drag you Down, down Immediate aftermath of the failed coup attempt, of course.

[The Underdark Wilds]

7. Far From Home (The Raven) - Sam Tinnesz

The air is cold The night is long I feel like I might fade into the dawn Fade until I'm gone Oh, I'm so far from home Our harrowing and sorrowful transit to the surface.

8. Brother - The Rural Alberta Advantage

There's a dream I had Where somebody watched out for me and you And in the end of life There was no one there for me and you I had trouble finding a song about brothers that fit what I wanted to convey about Athren and Adinar's relationship. This one has an emotional intensity and clarity that spoke to me. Some lines are easier for me to imagine as from Adinar's point of view ("Brother, my brother / You've got to hold yourself together") but broadly this song to me is about Athren's despair at leaving Adinar behind. It's a kind of dream/fantasy that somehow Athren and his parents could go back. Despite how angry he was about the (perceived) betrayal, of course Athren never stopped loving his brother.

[Waterdeep]

9. Heartbreak Feels So Good - Fallout Boy

No matter what they tell you The future's up for grabs, you know No matter what they sell you Is there a word for "bad miracle?" Athren's on the surface now and he's adjusting to the idea that his life is really his own, with all the terrifying uncertainty and glorious possibility that entails.

10. Immigraniada - Gogol Bordello

But if you give me the invitation To hear the bells of freedom chime To hell with your double standards We're coming rougher every time Props to Athren's parents' gumption to go from being a scribe and scout to running a restaurant. That idea originally came about because I thought it would be a funny parallel with another character's family, but as the game's gone on, the Dahanas being an immigrant family has started to feel genuinely poignant and badass.

11. I Guess This Is My Life Now - Roan Martin

I guess this is my life now Will this be my home? A younger me thought by now we'd be grown I guess this is my life now At least it's now my own And what did young me know? Kicking off the songs set solidly during the Dragon Heist campaign, with Athren's eternal mood of, "Haha what the fuck are we doing. I guess this is normal now. I guess this is what 'making it' feels like apparently!"

12. Mr. Invisible - Thank You Scientist

Sole contender For what I believe to be a mess All I know, we'll never put it to the test [...] When I say that you can count on me, it's true But it seems to me that I can't count on you What are you waiting for? As previously stated, I strongly associate this album with Athren. To me, this jazz prog rock odyssey of a song resonates with our party's efforts to parse Waterdeep's various factions and dig deeper into the Grand Game.

13. Old Scars / Future Hearts - All Time Low

I don't wanna be the one that's left behind Don't blame me, don't hate me I don't wanna be the one that's left behind I won't fade away Be forgotten or just cast away This life is mine to live Like "Second Child, Restless Child' this one feels so vivid and so personal, there's almost nothing to say :') Bonus for another use of "walls" to refer obliquely to Menzoberranzan. ("If you could see beyond the walls that you have built" and "But you won't think outside the lines that hold you in")

14. You're Gonna Go Far Kid - The Offspring

With a thousand lies and a good disguise Hit 'em right between the eyes Hit 'em right between the eyes When you walk away, nothing more to say See the lightning in your eyes See 'em running for their lives By the end of the adventure, we've become Big Damn Heroes of Waterdeep and Athren feels like his life is just getting started!!

[Bonus Track] 5 Finger Discount - Choking Victim

'Cause I want to see, what's on sale what's for free Every time I go to shop I steal from enemies Who steal from me, and from you If only you knew, then you would steal too Yes, this punk/ska song is about shoplifting and hiding a package in your pants next to your dick. It's silly. It's unfortunately perfect for him.

#athren dahana #i truly wrote this only for my own edification and amusement and do not expect it to make much sense to anyone but me #but i put enough work into this that i wanted it to go in his tag for my own reference

[orbdotexe]

okay im listening to A Sadness Runs Through Him and just... it applies to SO many characters. like, holy shit.

Zavala, Cayde, Nimbus, Sloane, Shayura - name one character you can't imagine for this song.

ESPECIALLY the "As he asked me to pray to a god, he doesn't believe in" for Zavala.... ough. But the line before it, "People are puppets held together with string" for the Sav-Osiris thing??? but you could also say Ikora, maybe! She's the one pulling strings, watching everything - but she also knows people, she knows Osiris and Zavala and she knows what makes them, them.

Just the whole chorus through "Time and again, boys are raised to men" to "But he couldn't be saved" makes me feel so many things about so many characters.

"Time and again, Boys are raised to men / Impatient they start, Fearful they end" is.... oh my god.

Zavala, newly rez'd and training under Saladin, then meeting Safiyah and running away with her - But then she's a Nightmare, breaking him down, destroying what was left of his faith in the Traveler.

Or Nimbus, bright and ready for this conflict, having fun all the while - And then Rohan's gone, and now they're raiding the Black Garden, risking everything Rohan worked for and their own life, trying to find some peace and trying to prove to themself that he didn't die for nothing, under the guise of trying to get his research.

Obligatory Young Wolf pointer. Look me dead in my eyes and tell me that doesn't perfectly describe them, you can't.

And then, the lines right after: "Oh, he could not break surface tension, He looked in the wrong place for redemption- Don't look at me with those eyes, I, tried to unheave the ties Turn back the time that drew him- But he couldn't be saved. A sadness runs through him"

Crow and Uldren come to mind the most here. I mean, imagine Crow, trying to prove himself, trying to do what he thinks is right - And he kills the Psion, and he asks the Young Wolf if they see him. But then there's Uldren, trying to bring back Mara, determined that she's still out there, and hitting every wrong branch on the way down. No one knew how to save him, and so he drowned under it all.

BUT I also completely skipped over a very Drifter-Cayde-Zavala line, which gives new meanings to the He could not break surface tension part: "But here was a man, mourning tomorrow He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow"

Drifter is always running from both tomorrow and yesterday. Cayde was deeply self-loathing, to the point he thought that he'd deserve whatever death he was given. Zavala is just... generally a very sorrowful man and i have No Idea how to put it into words.

You could also shove all these lyrics into Exile! RIP to literally everyone, because it gains new layers of meaning in that context!

anyway yeah! Orb loses a mind: part... uh. Anyway. Destiny is a game about shapes and grief, babeey!!!

#i should most definitely make a tag for my dumbassery about songs huh #orb is being a dumbass and thinking way too hard about characters again!!! #orb needs to shut down the brain already and go grab the shaders from Ada and the brightdust store and is Refusing to #orb rambles

[theneighborhoodwatch]

Small question, how well do you think the song A Sadness Runs Through Him, by, The Hoosiers, fits Welcome Home? (Asking for a playlist, any song recommendations would be lovely <3 )

my honest advice when it comes to character playlists/general fanmixes is to follow your heart - if your heart isn't Fully into it, then give it some time to think about whether or not you Really want it on the playlist. if you put in a song only to later realize it doesn't fit as well as you thought, then there's no harm in taking it out later. every playlist reflects an experience/interpretation unique to its maker, but you're welcome to peruse my own playlist for more songs, too - i add a new one every now and then.

that said uh jesus christ these lyrics lol:

Oh, he could not break surface tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption Don't look at me with those eyes I tried to anaesthetize Turn back the time that drew him But he couldn't be saved A sadness runs through him, through him

yeah that's WHcore

[dropthedemiurge]

have you heard this song? it is very akk and ayan to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYGjhpLXLpo (alternatively, this might be their english-speaking song and i am just late to the party x'D)

Oooh I heard this song but never paid attention to the lyrics! It could really work for Akk and Ayan, you're right :DD The 'I'm a collapsing star with tunnel vision for you' and "i wonder if your therapist knows about me" lines suit the best in my opinion:DD

Someone during our discussion about Eclipse back in the days pointed out this song, and for me it's the suppalo AkkAyan song (especially the acoustic version), here:

it doesn't have lyrics, unfortunately, so i'll put them below

[from Ayan about Akk]

People are puppets held together with string There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him As he asks me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in Time and again boys are raised to be men Impatient they start, fearful they end But here was a man mourning tomorrow He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow Oh, he could not break surface tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption And don't look at me with those eyes I tried to unheave the ties Turn back the tide that drew him He couldn't be saved A sadness runs through him Through him

[except that ayan did manage to save him xD]

Hello There

Another song I think fits CTB very well: A Sadness Runs Through Him by The Hoosiers https://youtu.be/rQUPwJ7JsjA I'm not sure if this has been added and I am too lazy to check if it has rn but specifically these verses stick out to me; "People are puppets held together with string There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him As he asks me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in

Time and again boys are raised to be men Impatient they start, fearful they end But here was a man mourning tomorrow He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow

Oh, he could not break surface tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption"

Like. Wars asking Spirit to pray to gods Spirit doesn't believe in. Boys being raised to be men could be Link, Spirit AND Mask. Wars drinking and drowning in his sorrow. Wars searching in the wrong place for redemption. IT WORKS TOO WELL. I'm sorry it's a good song

I have never heard of this song, but you are totally right about it being a CTB song (which will be added to my playlist right away).

I don't think I can do a better analysis than you have already done, so I am just going to wallow in the beauty of the image you're painting me right now.

#i listened to this and I was like oh! okay yeah this one slaps #ctb music #ask #savimatteo2810 #I can also see this being a thing where the second time we go through the verses it's about the present day #something something the past and present are more similar than they appear #lu ctb #me rambling

@multimusecatastrophy​ liked for;; The verry random, not intentional songs.

For Allister:  A Sadness Runs Through Him - The Hoosiers

People are puppets held together with string There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him As he asks me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in

Time and again boys are raised to be men Impatient they start, fearful they end But here was a man mourning tomorrow He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow

Oh, he could not break surface tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption

And don't look at me with those eyes I tried to unheave the ties Turn back the tide that drew him He couldn't be saved A sadness runs through him Through him

Don't look Don't look

Don't don't

[Emmet’s way of saying ‘Please don’t get attached to me, I cannot be saved’... Also... Home-Cavetown, but he was only forced to give one song.]

For Ingo: I’m Not A Good Person - Pat The Bunny

I'm not a good person Ask anyone who knows me I'm mean and bitter And a failure at everything that I say I believe

I'm not a good person Ask anyone who loves me I never write, I never call I never think about anyone at all

I'm not a good person No matter what I do My exhaustion will consume me And I'm too tired for the truth

I'm not a good person I'm sure you're not surprised It must be pouring out my sweat glands It must be someplace in my eyes

I don't know why I am this way I've been like this since I can remember I try to keep up with everything I know I should do But then I'll fall to pieces anyway

I don't know why I am this way

I'm not a good person, not even to you I'm staying home because I can't stand the sound Of another heartbeat in the room

[Emmet is still hang up on how he disappointed Ingo and hurt him... He needs Ingo to know this Emmet is not it. Nope. This Emmet is not a good person.]

Exactly!! It's like how I relate the songs: Run Rabbit Run & A Sadness Runs Through Him by The Hoosiers to me because:

Time and again boys are raised to be men Impatient they start, fearful they end But here was a man mourning tomorrow He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow

Oh, he could not break surface tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption

And don't look at me with those eyes I tried to unheave the ties Turn back the tide that drew him He couldn't be saved A sadness runs through him Through himto me because:

Too good to be true, what chance did you stand? Take flight, turn tail, get out while you can

&

People are puppets held together with string There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him As he asks me to pray to the God he doesn't believe in

Time and again boys are raised to be men Impatient they start, fearful they end But here was a man mourning tomorrow He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow

Oh, he could not break surface tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption

And don't look at me with those eyes I tried to unheave the ties Turn back the tide that drew him He couldn't be saved A sadness runs through him Through him

Yes!!! Very good song association when a song is you

-A Sadness Runs Through Him by The Hoosiers

I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go There's no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on And you've just gotta keep on keeping on Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road Can't worry 'bout what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road I try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong I try to keep on keeping on Yeah I just keep on keeping on

I hear a voice calling Calling out for me These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free Be it for reason, be it for love I won't take the easy road

-My Silver Lining by First Aid Kit

I'm truly so happy to have met you Yet, as if it follows naturally, it's all so sad Now, with painfully happy memories I walk on toward the inevitable farewell

If I'm going to just live taking someone else's place Then it'd be better if I could just be a pebble That way, there'd be neither misunderstanding nor confusion And then even you wouldn't know me

What I want is just for you to hear all of my thoughts Yet I lie and say I have secrets I can't tell anyone I'm so much more spineless than you seem to think me So why? Why? Why?

To have everlasting sorrows and open seams, but also you How happy I would be to smile and say, "It was for the best" Everything before me seems to blur and melt A flood of miracles wouldn't be enough Because you called my name
