#icarus the crane wives

[ezramatis]

since im apparently known for associating fictional characters with crane wives songs at this point, let me just say:

yadriel is curses and teo is icarus

(it’s crazy how many fictional characters relate to curses)

edit: julian is the hand that feeds and aurelio is never love an anchor

#also just and the backyard’s full of bones #you see it too right #that’s so yadriel #yadriel #yadriel x julian #yadriel vélez flores #yadriel cemetery boys #cemetery boys #teo the sunbearer trials #the sunbearer trials #celestial monsters #teo x aurelio #curses the crane wives #the crane wives #icarus the crane wives

#mitski is modern shakespeare for real #moon wlw and sun mlm solidarity #< that mitski song is about a woman and that shakespeare sonnet is about a man ! #my first thought with sun & moon was a good ol' 'the moon will sing' by crane wives / 'sunlight' by hozier / icarus and apollo / toxic love #but that's been done enough so fuck it we're doing transcendent eternal love. unfortunately of a heterosexual variety. #also I'm still playing around with layouts and things so I'm sure any future moodboards will look different #also also. yes I snuck in an anne of green gables quote. as is my right #moodboard #collage #web weave #light academia #romantic academia #dark academia #art #poetry #greek mythology #renaissance #baroque #mitski #william shakespere #selene and endymion #selene #apollo #sun and moon #sun and moon dynamic #renaissance art #painting #oil painting #pre raphaelite #pre raphaelism

To the soil, to the grave

Spreading out the ashes of a love

I know everyone and their mother who knows the song associates The Moon Will Sing by The Crane Wives with shadowpeach, and I do too, but the second half always makes me think of Wukong and MK (platonicly ofc)

Shadow Play really hammered down the light V darkness motif LMK has going on (connecting it specifically to the the Hero V the Warrior), so when a song also has a light V darkness motif it's easy to draw those lines you know. ANYWAYS

The moon will sing a song for me I loved you like the sun Bore the shadows that you made With no light of my own I shine only with the light you gave me

I see where you see MK.

#who doesn't love SWK sun symbolism and MK doubting his own light #something something icarus something something #the cool thing is that Wukong also loves MK like a sun. #Also I loveeeeeeeeeee bitter MK I am waiting patiently #biding my time until we get SWK V MK. #Like what if they just both lost everything. Anyways #lmk #lego monkie kid #the crane wives #the light is no mystery #SWK V MK #asks #lmk music recs

They're burning down the orchard to the soil To the soil, to the grave Spreading out the ashes of a love That only gave and gave

#rayllum get hozier's so it's only fair the broyals get one too #tdp broyals #icarus callum is something that ca be so personal to me #music #the crane wives #mine

[spaceyaceylesbian]

hi the bit in Icarus “my love will fall with grace” fits perfectly into the end of how to rest and I need everyone to know or at least know I know because it makes me so damn emotional for no fucking reason

[raemeh]

me and getting the obsessed with songs that mention Icarus

#Crane wives Icarus #And the happy fits with that line “I’m stuck on some Icarus spell” #Just UGH I love it

[thoughtsofananon]

@paleasamoon oh you want to learn about crane wives??? Well there’s a few more songs by them I feel fit with the HTTYD Books.

Tongues and Teeth with Hiccup and Valhallarama (as stated before)

Queen of Nothing, Isn't this what you wanted? Time sure feels like it's running out Just finish what you started Queen of nothing Wearing such a heavy crown. So. I feel like that’s self explanatory.

The Glacier House, with Snotlout (Or Alvin, I guess, but I think Snotlout fits more with the tragic feel to this song). Bundle up, darling, You made this bed now, Sleep in it soundly if you can, Can’t have it all

Sleeping Giants

Once & for All

That’s my essay, enjoy listening :)

#Other songs by The Crane Wives that may be httydish idk but you really should just listen to anyway #Nothing at All. Ribs. Curses (arguably their most famous song and for good reason) Turn out the Lights. Pretty little things. The garden #Keep you safe. The moon will sing. Allies or enemies. Metaphor. Little Soldiers. Never love an Anchor #Steady Steady. Easier. Canary in a coal mine. New Colors. Icarus. Safe ship harbored. October. I Ain’t done. Take me to war. Hollow Moon. #httyd books #the crane wives #yeah I’m insane about them lol

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii bestie, i dunno if you like The Crane Wives, like the rock band, but as of late i simply cannot get them out of my goddamn head. And then, i had an epiphany: so many of these songs exude major zukka vibes. Like not in the way youd think, probably, because in my head they're about the very specific Zuko who is just like. So tired and done with life in a very specific flavor and just having very funky ideas about love and caring for another person. So idk if this will even make sense to you, but i figured that A) you have immaculate music taste so i think itd be cool to see what you think of this band B) your thoughts about zukka are always interesting as hell so like, even if you vehemently disagree with my claims i would wholeheartedly enjoy to see what you think of my ideas, seriously, you're so cool, id love to hear about you

Anyways the songs are:

Curses

Down the River (this is actually not zukka at all, it's just Zuko, whos incredibly adept at dealing with consequences)

Allies or Enemies

The Moon Will Sing (again, not really zukka, i think i just have Zuko on the brain, to me this has so much potential for his dynamic with his father) and also, Once and for All too

Easier oh my god easier is such a song

Tongs and Teeth

and Metaphors (not the vibes of the song tbh but like, just the lyrics)

And well yeah this was just a thought that hit me, idk if asks like this are really up your alley so totes dont feel pressured to cook up some elaborate response or even respond at all, i just wanted to talk about a great band and uh. Yeah, thank you so much for being just so incredibly cool and you and earnest, like, silly comment, but you genuinly make my days so much better, i hope you get better soon and bye bye

(ps. I am loving TAMS so much)

- A Master of Parasocial Relationships Anon

ANON <33333333 ily mwah mwah this relationship is parasocial from me to you not the other way around dont ever get it twisted i adore you this ask made me smile so big. 'thank you so much for being just so incredibly cool and you and earnest' quite honestly such a belter compliment. im shaking.

u are right my music taste is fantastic and as a result i LOVE THE CRANE WIVES YES PLS TALK TO ME ABOUT THEM!!!!!! I LOVE THE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM!!!!!!! one of my worst traits is that i have loved every single crane wives song ive listed to yet ive never properly deep dived into their music, so i only know like. five songs. yet those songs are some of my faves of all time. she's so logical. BUT! this means you've just given me a load of recs that have zuko/atla/zukka vibes so im ecstatic. esp bc 'the very specific Zuko who is just like. So tired and done with life in a very specific flavor' is soooo tams zuko coded.

i do know some of these recs ofc so here are my thoughts:

curses - the recurring fire related language!!!! every word i say is kindling but the smoke clears when you're around!!! zuko being a very rough-around-the-edges imperfect character but being loved regardless (by sokka). i love how this song is clearly about someone who's haunted by their past but it's still quite peppy, and her VOICE on the 'ashes ashes dust to dust, the devil's after both of us, lay my curses out to rest, make a mercy out of me' HELLO???? it's so desperate and raw im obsessed with it. that line gives me big tams zuko & azula vibes, like on the run from the fire nation/ozai as the 'devil's after both of us' yep yep yep. omg actually this whole song is very them

down the river - your take on this is gorgeous 'very adept at dealing with consequences' he BREAKS my HEART. sure you can forget about all the things you've done but WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US. i am so over-fixating on tams atm and it shows bc im about to tamsify this and probably all the other recs in some capacity icl. anyway this song as zuko @ ursa. down the river.......

allies or enemies - ZUKKA ANTHEM!!!!! REQUIRED LISTENING FOR ANY ENEMIES TO LOVERS SHIP!!!!! being horrible to each other and having a history of violence are we allies or enemies this will be the death of me ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR BUT I CANT FIGHT WITH YOU ANYMORE!! LITERALLY SINGING ABOUT WAR!!!! the crane wives wrote this about zukka genuinely

the moon will sing - one of the most beautiful songs of all time you can interpret this in so many ways the lyrics have me banging my fist against my wall. veryyyyyyyyyy zuko-coded about literally anyone he gets constantly mugged off

tongues and teeth - AGAIN ZUKO CODED!!! when ur a post-redemption asshole but part of your personality is always always going to be abrasive and cutting and you KNOW that. this is such a 'the catharsis of owning and even heightening the thing both you and others hate about yourself in a very angry declaration that barely conceals the insecurity underneath' song and i took it very personally. like yes girl push everyone away first bc you know you're a cunt and it's best to warn them off while they still have an idealised version of you in their head! me and zuko best friends fr we are insufferable

#also never love an anchor as an ursa song in general obvs. THEE absent mother anthem #OMG AND THE CROOKED THE CRADLE AS AN AZULA SONG!!!!!!! IT'S LITERALLY HER SONG!!!!! #and icarus as a tams azula and zuko song! oh my brother who have you become in the wake of all that's happened here! #it's more for the end of tams tho when they've healed and life is not abundantly shit lmao #thank you so much for this ask bestie!!!!! im sending you so many gross kisses rn #ask #song rec #the crane wives
