You know, the funniest thing about "The Moon will Sing" by The Crane Wives being such a popular song for ships is that it is definitely not a love song.

It's a song about a toxic dynamic between two people, one likely having raised the other.

The song is about being forced into a mold someone else has made for you. The feelings that you had long since buried, only feeling apathy after everything.

It's about blindly walking on a path someone else has made for you, without any regard to whether or not it was a path you wanted cause it didn't matter.

It talks about the neglect and exhaustion that begins to weigh on you when these choices that you were forced to take pile up. And yet, you still let it lie cause you're tired and weary, and you just want to let it be.

The Moon is the abused, someone who was never let to have any 'light', meaning choice, unless the abuser- The Sun gave them the light. And because of that, the Moon longs for the freedom of choice and in turn loves the moon for what little they give them.

Then you finally talk to the Sun again and you you argue. You see how the Sun, even throughout its decisions, has doubts and questions their choices. You, the Moon, see the Sun hesitate, but swallow that doubt up, and it fills you with anger and you demand to feel the fire, the freedom, that was kept from you for so long. You long for it's warmth.

Even so, its works for a lot of the ships because in the end, the lines;

"The Moon will song a song for me,

'I loved you like the Sun.'..

Bore with shadows that you made,

with no light of my own."

are easily allowed to fit the dynamic of a lot of couples.

Because there can always be the hint of over ideation of the person you love. In turn, you make yourself infeior to them in your mind. You can easily make yourself the Moon and the other person the Sun for this reason.

So in this essay, I'd like to explain why " The Moon Will Sing" is perfect for all the couples in Alien Stage-

I am of the firm belief that there is a Crane Wives song for every single emotion.

Are you in the mood for a song about being trapped in an abusive relationship where your partner keeps making you feel as if no one else loves you like they (Tell you) do?

Try Nobody, by the Crane Wives.

You need a song about how you've not taken the opportunities offered to you because you're so scared of what could happen, and you know you need to get up and try and go but there's always the "what if" holding you back?

How about Safe Ship, Harbored by the Crane Wives, or Keep You Safe, by the Crane Wives?

You need a song about how religion has helped create a narrative of men being superior to women and that you had to grow up protecting your own self from men, and now you're finally able to relax and watch the little girls grow up shielded and stronger for it but you still chose to leave the abusive men, the horrible men in your life and live "in the darkness" because it finally makes you feel safe?

Ribs, by the Crane Wives.

How about literally having NO HANDLE on your life and feeling utterly useless because it seems like everyone has it together but you literally have no idea what to do? And you feel as if you were cheated in your adult/elder life because you were told "It would just work it?"

Hard Sell, by the Crane Wives

A SONG ABOUT HOW ABUSIVE PEOPLE LEAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE AND YOU CAN'T GET RID OF THE SCARS THEY LEAVE????

Pretty Little Things, by the Crane Wives

A SONG ABOUT BEING LEFT BEHIND CONSTANTLY AND TRYING TO BE MORE LIKEABLE BUT STILL BEING SO FUCKING LONELY ALL THE FUCKING TIME?????

Here I Am, by the Crane Wives

A SONG ABOUT HOW CAPITALISM IS LITERALLY DESTROYING OUR LIVES????

The Hand That Feeds, by the Crane Wives

So anyways I just think the Crane Wives are neat. There are SO MANY songs from them there's a reason they're my number one on Spotify.

“I’m out of wine and flowers, so I hope an introduction will suffice,” his blood-red eyes meet hers, and something in her gut twists. As if she already knows. As if she’s just realized that she’s missed the obvious. “My name is Astarion. I was in Balder’s Gate when-” Astarion. Save Astarion. Astarion.  All the breath leaves her lungs as she interrupts, “You’re Astarion?”

summary: how far would you go to save the one you love? what about a stranger?

pairings: astarion ancunin x sorcerer!oc (aruna)

warnings: canon angst, canon trauma, canon violence, memory loss, sort of enemies to lovers?, sort of soulmates au?, overuse of pet names, eventual smut. 18+

Bore the shadows that you made

With no light of my own

I shine only with the light you gave me "

the thing that I love about The Moon Will Sing is that it completely subverts the moon and sun trope, but in a completely believable way that, in my opinion, suits the trope way better.

the moon and sun are in no way equals. the moon is given everything it owns by the sun, and it can be taken away just as quickly. like the lyrics say, 'bore the shadows that you gave with no light of my own.' the moon literally shines only with the light given by the sun.

in this song, the moon and sun are used to depict a toxic relationship rather than a healthy one, the singer being in the moon's position, feeling that their love for someone consumed their own sense of self.

i love that the crane wives don't use the trope as it often is, and instead uses it to fit their own narrative. it's genius writing.

It kind of annoys me when people talk about the moon will sing as if it's a love song (tiktok) when in reality it's a deeply bitter, resentful song. It's not even inherently romantic. It's more akin a herding dog telling a sheep it's leading it to the planes and then leaving it there. The dog doesn't even rip its throat out. It just leaves. Or maybe the sheep left first, and the dog didn't come to get it. Either way, you're lost and fucked, no where to go. Not even home. The moon will sing isn't a love song, it's about love yes, but it's saying "I wish I never loved you because you made me who I am and I hate myself." Hence the line, "bore the shadows you made with no light of my own // I shine only with the light you gave me." Because, you know, the moons light is only a reflection of the light passed to it by the sun. The moon can't stand on its own, the sheep, because the sun is the only thing it's ever known.

How do you then leave and---survive?
