GOOD MORNING (now evening)
today i awoke and chose violence. i wanna talk a bit about the AU @bishicat and I have. ~inspired~ by the 5 songs, 3 outfits taggame!
EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD
Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
[...]
We will find you
It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the
Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
[...]
There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
I'm so glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
[...]
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the—
Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it
name of the AU, basically it's about change, within oneself, within a friend group, within the world. and about accepting that change - or fighting against it. each member of the trio (or V³ as we like to call em) thinks their way of living is the right one.
V(alerie) is hellbent on not backing down and staying right where she is
V(incent) thinks getting away from the city and the people who hurt him is the best choice
V(ivienne) wants more from life, money, fancy clothes and power
TOWNIE
There's a party and we're all going
And we're all growing up
Somebody's driving and he will be drinking
And no one's going back
'Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full and
Nothing seems enough
[...]
I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat
Though I don't know what I'm waiting for
I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be
name of the pairing for V³ - the song is about growing up and changing. (AGAIN)
bishi actually picked that one and i was on board right away, it was important to me that we pick a song we both like (the more rock-y feel of that song also helped lmao)
RYAN & DAVE
Ryan and Dave are rabble rousin', teenage cousins
Difference is Dave has an off switch, and Ryan doesn't
20 years later now Dave behaves rank and file
And Ryan's a burnt out adult, last gasp, wild child
guess what this one is about! CHANGE! (are you tired of it yet?) mostly it is about viv picking a different path than v though - one stayed exactly where she has always been while the other chose to change.
ALSO in the music video they are DOGS and we love a dog motif
6:26 in the morning, didn't need alarm
I couldn't sleep a wink, I'm betting my whole farm
Left Dave's place at eight, just drove, didn't really talk
I shook his hand and popped the door to make the walk
Applied for admission at the detox shop
Got to the door it said open, ten o'clock
It's freezing out, no way that I can make it to ten
Look back at my truck at my only real friend
some time ago we talked about viv helping v on her healing journey (girlie cannot catch a break from being a babysitter even after she got johnny a body LMAO) and even though v never ends up at rehab (maybe that will change) it still fits pretty well.
NEVER LET ME DOWN AGAIN
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
[...]
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
[...]
See the stars, they're shining bright (never let me down)
Everything's alright tonight (never let me down)
V³ had a pretty big fight at one point. viv was always going to leave for arasaka but v never understood or accepted it. they argued for hours and when vincent didn't chose her side, v stormed off to go on a weeklong bender.
when she returned the flat was empty, both her siblings had left -and betrayed her.
naturally, viv also felt betrayed by her childhood friend, all she asked for was support but instead she got called a traitor.
i like to imagine this song plays on the radio one day after their reunion
THE KIDS AREN'T ALRIGHT
When we were young, the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn
How can one little street swallow so many lives?
TO ME this is THE streetkid song but it hits hard especially in this universe.
as i mentioned before V³ thinks they picked the right path, they aren't gonna be beat (and honestly vincent is the only one who succeeded).
viv had a good run but then she got kicked from the corp, lost her newest best friend, DIED and now has a whole other person stuck in her skull.
v was stubborn, was homeless for a bit and is overall in a bad way (but then again, that's the only way she knows how to live so it's not as bad TO HER)
AS ABOVE, SO BELOW
THIS IS A BIG ONE SO BUCKLE IN FOLKS
bishi and i had been talking about a personal quest for v and we ended up on this:
one day they are driving somewhere while listening to the radio when a host teases a special treat! they have exclusive rights to the music of NC born and bred band Rotten! (yeah you guessed it! V's band)
naturally this fills her with pure rage and viv knows this isn't going to end well (babysitting time!) v knows exactly who did this and is hellbent on rectifying this (there is more but yall are gonna have to wait for the day i decide to write it lmao)
As Above, So Below is the name of the job! it is a song that v wrote but only she knows about it.
while viv wasn't a band member she was there for it's founding and a few first concerts, she filmed a lot of it and even ran the merch stand a bit
I won't lie, it's quite temptin'
Your handouts and your bones
I won't lie, they're quite empty
Your promises and your stones
If you sell, they'll buy
Don't feel, just sign
If you sell, they'll buy
Don't think, stay blind
Give me the control
Just sign on the dotted line
Give me the control
He whispered softly
Give me the control
You're crawling inside my mind
Give me the control
Don't you fight me?
As above, so below
What you reap is what you sow
What you give comes back three fold
As above, so below
YES the song is about v not wanting to sign with a label and it is her final fuck you to the world of music. in reality that song is incredibly underproduced since by the time it was recorded the band had already broken up. v did ALL of it: singing, instruments, songwriting. editing magic made it come to life.
depending on how it ends (yes there are multiple outcomes) viv will receive a shard with ALL of rotten's music, including THIS unreleased song and even some backstage footage from way back in the day when viv was still around.
See I've danced with the enemy
We have secrets, no one knows
Yeah, I've danced with my enemy
I wore her skin and her clothes
honourable mention because this part is very viv coded
instead of outfits i present you! some soul crushing quotes! i hope you enjoy! :3c
