something i struggle with deeply is the fact my mom was really close friends with this guy in highschool and he ended up being the drummer for a band that i really like and now that band (which granted, was already very popular) is starting to trend on tiktok cuz one of their songs was on the soundtrack for the movie 'i saw the tv glow' (along with scott pilgrim!) and now i have to live my life knowing my mom would like actively hang out with a member of a band that is so totally sick and i can already tell one day the girls i go to school with who made my life a living hell for the past two years straight are gonna start posting to the song being all like "u guys this is MY song 🥺🥺" and i'm just gonna have to deal with it silently.
Not me eagerly awaiting Epic the Musical’s Underworld Saga release because I feel like it’s going to make for some KILLER HH crossover in the form of horrific Lucifer angst. Like, I’ve already got some ideas flowing. Whether anything comes of them who knows? Whether I remember them? WHO KNOWS. But as of right now? MMM so excited.
Like, just picture this w/ me for a second (I’m gonna put my brain-rot fantasies after the cut for all of y’all who could not give less of a shit):
Imagine the song “The Underworld.”
“This land confuses your mind / When does a man become a monster? / 558 men who died under your command”
It starts with Lucifer closing his eyes, then opening them in like a pitch black environment.
“Captain, Captain, Captain, Captain!”
The first three have of him running into like— more angelic spears which corral him into a corner. The last one he like looks up at just sees ALL the angels glaring at him.
“Why would you let the Cyclops live when ruthlessness is mercy!”
Here I imagine it starts w/ flashbacks of him giving Eve the apple. Then, there’s is like a giant black snake forms from/behind/around the angel and in some way like kinda just.. “consumes” Lucifer, like it jumps up in the air, comes back down on him. He flinched, and when he opens his eyes again he’s alone, on the ground in Hell, covered in blood, and has his demonic traits showing. Idk, just something super symbolically horrific that would def be something u see in a nightmare.
“All I hear are screams… / Every time I dare to close my eyes / I no longer dream / Only nightmares of those who’ve died. / (Nothing’s what it seems) Nothing’s what it seems / but in the underworld the past seems close behind”
Here Lucifer is just looking around at all the carnage and graphic depictions Hell has to offer. I also imagine at some point he sees his own demonic form and like— physically jumps back in fear/repulsion. Just like real graphic, horrific, nightmare fuel. The frames go by somewhat quickly, just a jumbled mess of gore and violence and terror.
“I keep thinking of the infant from that night / I keep thinking of the infant from that night.”
The like gorey images get faster, but also mixed in are actual images of him falling, angellic spears, him giving Eve the apple, Lilith, basically everything that you could imagine is part of his trauma. Like, they just flash by the screen faster and faster on repeat until u can’t even rlly tell what they are anymore. Then, after the second repeat of the verse, the music stops abruptly and he sits up straight in bed, looks around, realizes it was a dream, then it’s just a wide shot of him alone in his room, looking haunted and tired but not panicked anymore.
Idk if I would want him to be staying at the Hotel, or in his castle in his big like King sized bed w/ half the bed not slept in, but either way yummy angst.

Haha, oops, went on a little ramble there. Oh well. Hopefully someone will care and agree that this would be bombed. Or not. Who rlly gives a shit? Not me, I just needed to write this down XD.
I also have another idea for the song No Longer You but I’m not gonna go on a whole spiel, and instead just say it starts at “But that’s not a world I know” w/ Luci looking in the mirror at his demon form. Then form “I see a song of past romance” onward is Lucifer reflecting back on Lilith, the apple, his Fall, etc. Then finally on “But it’s no longer you” flash back to present day Lucifer who kinda just sighs and (maybe) sheaths his demonic attributes sadly/ashamed oh b4 walking away.

Video description: A man in a cow skull mask badly plays "What's This?" from Nightmare Before Christmas on a theremin. Text flashing across the screen reads: "Here is my theremin. I'm not very good at it. But it got your attention, didn't it? Buy my zine and I will stop. WorldBeyondZine.BigCartel.com"
Lucy in TWS is really like "How had the last 6 months changed me? Not much. I'm more confident in myself" when she really means "I've fallen head over heels absolutely sickeningly in love with my boss"
