Crane Wives songs will be like *folk guitar intro* ooowoahhhhhhhh ooowaoahhhhh. I am a wolf in the river. I am worried that I'm too volatile to ever be in a stable relationship. *guitar interlude with some percussion now* ooowoahhhhhhhh ooowaoahhhhh. There is ash in my hair. I am so tired all the time. I think I'm a bad person.
Spoiler warning for Baldurs gate ending for laezel!
There are times when I still wonder about you
You are someone I have loved, but never known
Broke my heart doing this in the game.. Thoughts behind this specific piece: Shadowheart actively chooses to let her go, insists upon it despite the fact Lae’zel would be willing to stay for her, despite the fact she wants her to stay. For the greater good, ‘for this is bigger than us.’
i am selfish, i am broken, i am cruel, i am all the things they might have said to you. do you ever think of me and my two hands, and wonder why they never soothed your fevers, and wonder why they never tied your shoes, and wonder why they never held you gently?
and wonder why they never had the chance to lose you?
i know that never love an anchor is originally a song about a mother and child and i know that a lot of people interpret it as romantic but right now i totally get the mother/child thing. it’s heartbreaking, that’s tragic. “never soothed your fevers, never tied your shoes” like that’s sad. knowing you are a bad influence and will do no good and being forced to leave, messing up the kid either way. bad parental figure or no parental figure. damn
when the crane wives said ‘on some level I think I always understood, that a ship could never really love its anchor’ and then ‘do you ever think of me and my two hands, and wonder why they never soothed your fevers?’ and ‘wonder why they never had a chance to lose you?’ were you normal about it or
I honestly love the fact that if you look up crane wives on tumblr you immediately get greeted by the life series because everyone agrees they fit together so well
qpp that “a ship could never really love an anchor” x qpp that “so i did the only thing that i could and severed the rope to set you sailing from my harbor”
