It was very well written, I can't get enough of the Luke angst, and the fight scene was epic

"New Discovery" by The Crane Wives for tHAW!Quackity

this song has very early/general thaw!quackity energy, so i'm going to analyze it

(click under the cut to see a lyrical breakdown)

���I want to stand on the edge of the water/ And see horizons stretch on forever/ I want to know that there are lands/ Not yet touched by human hands/ I want to be the one to find them.”

you can see a lot of quackity's former idealism in these lyrics, how he has such a bright outlook of what will happen in his future, how excited he is for all the opportunities he will have, and all the potential that he can harness into something great, something memorable.

on the flip side, these lyrics can also outline his hubris, as well as just the fact that quackity is incredibly ambitious, showing how he is very driven to do things that have never been done before. it doesn't matter to him that his goals are unprecedented and unrealistic for anyone, much less a Human to ever hope to actually accomplish. because he strives for more and wants to create a lasting legacy for himself, and you don't do that by just doing whatever's already been done before. you do that by shooting for the stars, by flying closer to the sun. that's how quackity tries to make himself shine amongst the others, even when it is to his own detriment in the end.

this song's tone is so light and hopeful because quackity hasn't yet fallen so far after his endeavors to get more bite him in the ass. he hasn't lost all that he's lost just yet, and it shows.

“Sometimes I feel like I'm lost in a desert/ And every dune is the same as the other/ I see my footprints in the sand/ So I know where I've been/ And these steps I take won't go to waste/ If I'm moving towards something”

not only do i really love the desert metaphor here and the way that this could also be Perfectly applied in a literal way to q's own beginning in this world, but it encapsulates quackity and his need for ambition and innovation pretty nicely too!

he wants to make something out of his life, and go down in history for something important, and this part of the song really does a good job showing that no matter what, he won't stop working as hard as he can to achieving these goals, even when he has to take it just one step at a time to get there.

“I want to believe there's something left for me/ A new discovery waiting for me”

quackity has beaten the odds and been the first or one of the firsts in a lot of things on his mission to leave a lasting legacy for himself: he was the first person to ever beat the sky gods in a game, he was the first ever person to introduce stripclubs to the contintent, he was one of the first people to be so openly Blessed by the sky gods. and that's not even mentioning how he managed to beat the odds in a lot of things, like partaking in the blood trials and passing them even despite only being a human, and figuring out his own way to make runes despite not knowing ancient. quackity is an incredibly innovative man, and he uses that fact to his advantage in helping him make these new advances and discoveries.

“I want to kindle a love that doesn't age/ Even when all the years carve lines into your face/ Tell me I will be surprised/ When I think I've memorized/ Every touch and every thought/ I want you to prove me wrong.”

although quackity is less likely to actually admit this to himself after his fiances left him, ultimately, what he’s always wanted was to love and be loved. his purpose isn't just about meaning something to the world, it's also about meaning something to someone. he wants his legacy to endure, but more than that, he wants his love to endure too. he wants both, but arguably he wants the love more, because what good is it to enjoy all the success he's had without somebody to enjoy it with?

vv link to the song vv

i say that this song is early-quackity coded as he's more scared of having that attachment after what happened with karlnapity. but deep down, he definitely still wants this with someone regardless, even if he doesn't want to let himself have it anymore. but this song is about the hope for all the new potential adventures in life, and hope is something that he had a lot more of before all the horrible things started happening to him.

and while quackity definitely still has hope and ambitions even now, he doesn't allow himself to have as many, so as to avoid unnecessary disappointment and hurt.

thanks for reading and, as always, here is where you can read thaw, so make sure to go do that if you haven't already!!
