🎶 Alekto!! :D :D

:D!!! Alekto time!!!! Yissss >:3c

so fun fact. Alekto has their own playlist separate from the CUDAAS playlist. Because I just love Alekto so much. It's got a silly name too <3 (it's called "Alekto isn't a girl, but they are a girlboss")

So! The song from the Alekto Playlist™ that you got is Never Love an Anchor by The Crane Wives! Which I actually relate a little more to some other characters in CUDAAS, but that's for Spoiler Reasons.

When relating this song to Alekto, the lyrics that stand out the most to me are (I'm picking three excerpts because I can):

🎵On some level I think I always understood That these hands of mine were clumsy not clever And I tried to do the best that I could🎵

🎵It's a secret I keep tucked inside my chest With this heart of mine that's guilty not remorseful There is love that doesn't have a place to rest But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulder🎵

🎵I am selfish I am broken I am cruel I am all the things they might have said to you🎵

I'll ramble a bit and explain why in the tags <3

#talk to the bunnykitty #cudaas #alekto cudaas #albatris #thank u!!!!#oc ask game #never love an anchor in general is a song that makes me super emotional ngl #anyway these lyrics make me think of alekto's perception of themself at the beginning of book one #as being weak and cowardly and incapable of stopping the atrocities they've been witness to #or the cruelty directed towards them and others #and in many ways alekto for a long time feels selfish for having any desires or interests of their own #a lot of alekto's arc in book one is like. learning that it's ok to be their own person #and that they're not inherently bad because of the guilt they carry #which is honestly like. highkey survivors' guilt in many ways #i have a lot of feelings about alekto cudaas <3
