in hindsight Buck Vernon is such a funny character. like his whole story starts off with his ass getting dumped but not even realizing it. he goes across the country searching for her and doesn't have any luck until he goes to a random fortune teller (who later admits to scamming him) and takes her vague bullshit to heart which leads him to get caught in the middle of a wild drug ring and he may have accidentally set off a war between said drug dealers and a gang of arsonists that was founded by an undead biker dude. he once bumped into said undead biker dude at a night club while running from the cops. he can see/talk to ghosts and it's never explained why and he doesnt even make a big deal of it. he ends up finding a corpse in the middle of the road and goes "well shit someone has to bury the guy". when said corpse gets up and asks for a smoke buck just. gives it to him and starts having a chat with him. he cant lie for shit and gets caught like every single time but still manages to get out of every situation alive. he once beat up a drug dealer in the back of an arcade. he got black brained which kills every other character it happened to and just. didnt die somehow?? he's killed at least two people and doesn't even blink. when he found his ex and got dumped a second time he just. got up and walked off with a bullet wound in his leg. he presumably lived and proceeds to write weird sad love songs for the rest of his life.
hes the most pathetic noir protagonist ive ever seen. there's something deeply wrong with him. i want to study him
whenever i see a lord huron edit of one of my fandoms it’s ALWAYS to the night we met and that song IS a banger but like…..lord huron has so many more fitting songs i am begging y’all to explore more of their discography 😭😭
Concept: I thought of a little something that may be a bit of fun on here. Amateur though I am at it, I love designing aesthetics and I also love old art, incorporating it with more modern expressions such as song lyrics. Often, throughout my day, I’ll hear a song and it won’t remind me of my own memories or lovers or dear ones but rather someone from long ago and the fragments of their experiences that they left us to explore. I enjoy pairing these lyrics and figures and myths together in my mind and for my own enjoyment I started doing it with design.
Game: I’d love it if you submitted a figure of the past (mythical, fictional or historical) and either 1. ask me to match the person to a lyric that makes me think of them, or 2. Give me a lyric and ask me to assign it a personage. Or else make a full request of both if you too have this tendency to associate your “old dear friends” with more current art. I bet I’ll learn a lot from you all as well, and that excites me
