#me goes insane abt himeru unfortunately its contagious

[bankarayouth]

insane and unorganised brainwaves i wanted to jot down abt araidne (the song) and how it parallels things (obbligato spoilers)

scing what my friend said for a start point and yes !!!! fucking yes !!!

like thats also interesting bc if its a kaname song we dont know if he wrote it specifically about someone or how impersonal it is to him or not (theres some sort of potential link if it was kaname or perhaps a gifted song) however if it turns into a semi oremerupilled lyric change then it is also almost a sign/perception shift;

either oremeru is further embracing and refining his dedication to kaname as this reads a lot like a coauthored song OR if he redesigns it for himself it also redefine the way he sees himself adopting the kaname mold and whether this takes away from the og kanames vision of the song or not remains to be seen.

ultimately something something labyrinth for kaname means his own family troubles and/or the hierarchy at reimei and how it affects him and his own naivety or if oremeru changed some stuff around is he dragging out what he perceives as his godlike figure; not as a god per se but his main drive going forward with the imperfections and morality issues that come with holding someone above your standards and personal perception

the duality of himeru doing his best for kaname to have an idol place to return to bc he knows thats his biggest dream vs knowing its erasing himself and if kaname thinks his integrity and dreams have been crushed but still !! the fact that they used ariadne specifically bc she rescued theseus from the minotaurs labyrinth is so interesting bc we dont know if there any implications abt who is who. like theyre talking abt ariadne specifically. who is what. whos leading who out of the maze to impending doom.

who saves the one who saves the hero. what fucking then. something something considering that she eloped w theseus in a different story denotes how the brothers r both not supposed to band together and then in like 2 separate myths shes abandoned by theseus. which could either relate to kanames hospitalisation or the distance the two put apart by himeru. the love the longing the innocent betrayal the expectations the fact that theres no clear lead in what they had bc fucking both of them werent as attached like kaname loved the concept of himeru in his head so much and himeru didnt reciprocate until too late !!!

hes trying to make up for lost time by trying to save the person who saved him first even if its fruitless and his revenge arc is taking it out mentally on tatsumi and altering his relation w him without kaname. what if their selfishness is both their undoing and reprieve. what if i wasnt mentally ill even if the song didnt matter personally the song matters to himeru since he has the feelings associated w kaname. the song may be empty but the heart is full. like to oremeru specifically the song has no physical connection. to what is wavering between him and kaname (and to some extent to vision of himeru he sees) while it is a crazy:b song they absolutely slammed it on, its like himeru gets to convey more of kaname. to the world.
