#him and cschlatt r also cheaters

[finaldiscwar]

nobody’s soldier by hozier is sooo cquackity coded. well kind of

LIKE OKAY. this is a song about choosing not to support war and being uncertain about where to stand and just overall kind of nervous over it all

cquackity having to choose between manburg and pogtopia… betray his fiance or betray his friends and weird estranged lover(s). having to deal with the stress of it all (“if i tell you this is drowning, you’d tell me i’m walking on water”)

him just wishing he didn’t have to choose and be scared he’d be caught by cschlatt… not even wishing i think it’s probably more of a yearn (“sick to my skin, watching the news again”). he so badly yearns to not be in this position. and you know what!!!! even if he thinks what he’s doing is right, he still ends up losing everything he loved. from cschlatt to cwilbur to even someone like ctubbo or ctommy… those relationships are gone or so insanely messed up it’s hard to recover quickly (“whatever you choose, you lose out in the long run”)

him feeling so much guilt while grieving cschlatt’s death… he loved him as much as he hated him, and while fighting with pogtopia was the best decision, he feels guilt because he betrayed him (“the goal i was aiming for was the wrong one”)

even in a non political standpoint, after el rapids is destroyed and ckarl and csapnap leave him for kinoko (“i don’t want to choose between being a salesman or a soldier”), he builds up las nevadas all on his own (“honey, i’m taking no orders, i’m gonna be nobody’s soldier”)

i have sooo much more i can say about him and nobody’s soldier but i’m gonna leave it at that… if u want to hear more lmk in my askbox 😭❤️
