Oh No! by Marina is an Aki Hayakawa song. I will not be taking questions at this time.
#meposting#my thoughts#I know I already listed oh no! on my big csm character song list but. i still think it’s funny/fitting#Aki to me is like. a mix of metal and sad bubblegum pop.#Denji is alt rock. lots of electric guitar.#Power is hyperpop. real scratchy shit.#csm#my csm thoughts#chainsaw man#csm aki#aki hayakawa#music#music genres#‘don’t do love’ - he’s aromantic#‘don’t do friends’ - see him saying ‘I’m not here to make friends.’ emotionally repressed sadguy#etc etc#grind culture. grew up too fast.#maintains distance from others/himself in order to function and maintain the status quo (subjugation of Fiends)#also it’s just fun as hell to associate him with the song#I feel like the CSM anime has such an infatuation with Aki that it tends to try to make him as serious and poised and sexy as possible#but like. at the end of the day he’s a fucked up 19 year old. I want him to be allowed to be a loser and be silly.#reclaimation of childhood (innocence/joy) and family/community is. to me. such a big part of csm (part 1)#Denji had to survive on his own in spite of extreme poverty/exploitation. financial anxiety under the threat of death? he’s like. 7. son.#Aki had to ‘be mature for his age’ (aka sacrifice his life/wellbeing for Public Safety and the goal of revenge) after losing his family.#and he had to live with the guilt of knowing that. if he hadn’t voiced his wants/needs to his brother that day (hands being cold).#his brother might still be alive.#how do we live with guilt?#Power is defiantly childish and self-absorbed. possibly in part to resist the dehumanization that humans have forced upon fiends.#Angel’s similar in that he refuses to do any more than the bare minimum that he’s forced to do (under threat of death).#using the little agency he does have in his situation/cage
