with bill directly sowing “trust no one” into ford's mind, i'm losing it over the stan twins parallel of taking their abusers "advice" to heart (for stan the concept of toxic masculinity/tough love when we know he was thrown out) and unfortunately passing it down to dipper, someone they both project heavily on to
(but at least in ford's case he learns that his abuser was wrong and gains his own stance on how trust works, but with stan he and dipper never really got to understand how messed up it was…)

If in Maroon, Corroded Coffin = Sleep Token (swoooon 🥰🫶🏻) what songs do you see on this album they’re releasing? Please tell me ‘sugar’ is going to make appearance 🥵
oh trust me. ‘sugar’ is going to have quite a fun role in the story. you really think i’d nickname reader after the song and NOT include a scene of eddie performing it with her in the room? 😌
beyond sugar, though, i definitely see the actually album being released being more along the lines of take me back to eden (the album as a whole)!!! the theme of those songs just fit really well — tmbte, rain, the apparition, granite, EUCLID, etc.! specific songs that i can see eddie having written and maybe not released tho, not on the tmbte album, would 100% include songs like sugar, high water, say that you will, distraction, HIGHER, the love you want, etc.
heavy emphasis on higher and the love you want 👀 (i recommend looking at the lyrics of higher hehe)
i can essentially see just about every single sleep token song working, hence why i specifically chose them! there’s a common theme within their songs, and the general way that vessel writes about his love interest, that aligns very perfectly with how eddie feels about reader <3 this strange resentment to fight with, a terrible yearning to return somewhere you are no longer welcome, the pain of spending an eternity loving someone, missing someone, when you can never be sure that you even linger in the farthest corners of their mind. also, that balance of tossing blame with your anger while also acknowledging your hand in all your pain. it’s just very perfect. very tragic. if you listen to the songs and think about eddie, who has curated a very specific and…. interesting… image of himself, it would make perfect sense he’s refused to release music that absolutely bares his soul in such a gut wrenching manner 🖤
(also, worth noting i’ll probably name several of the specific songs that will be on the album when it releases in the fic <3 and then some <3)
