what's the softest way to say
you took away my friend, my buddy?
i had a slightly different idea in mind, and the sketch is still laying around somewhere, but severe chronic pains kicked in again and practically snatched the pencil from my hands, so i had to get creative.
i am desperately trying to doodle it out of my system because it's been 2? months already, and i am still miserable, which is straight up unhealthy at this point. so here it goes.

in memory of neil perry on his. suicide day lol. i’m dropping my anderperry playlist 💪💪💪
im putting the songs, the artists, and some reasons/lyrics that put them on my list :)
just take my wallet by jack stauber
it’s singing to a loved one who is no longer there, implied that they took their own life
lyrics that give anderperry vibes:
“your mamas crying for you”
“good times are singing, they sang, they sang, those times are echoing through me”
“what’s the softest way to say you took away my friend, my buddy, what’s the kindest way to say the end”
hidden in the sand by tally hall
this song is a bit unsettling but sweet and sad. it’s about confusion and love
there are no lyrics that really scream anderperry, it’s just the vibes tbh
when she loved me by sarah mclachlan
yeah this was the toy story song. but it still. it’s just. aaaah
it’s a forlorn memory of a love that is gone
lyrics:
literally all of them are anderperry istg
this december by ricky montgomery
i’ve actually already made a post about this!! https://www.tumblr.com/rrcenic/735574508285689856/this-december-by-ricky-montgomery-is-the
talk to me by cavetown
this song holy shiiiit-
it’s kind of. it’s like asking someone you love that it’s okay to talk to you about their problems. saying it’s okay to not be perfect.
lyrics that scream anderperry:
“we can talk here on the floor, on the phone if you prefer, i’ll be here until you're okay”
“let your words release your pain, you and i will share the weight, growing stronger day by day”
“it’s so dark outside tonight, build a fire warm and bright, and the wind, it howls and bites”
“anxiety, tossing, turning in your sleep, even if you run away, you still see them in your dreams”
“it's so dark tonight, it looks nice, fall asleep, it's alright, come inside, and talk to me”
smoke signals by cavetown
i know i’m a freak, ripped the band-aid, broke the peace, took the lock but lost the key”
“guess i set you free, i hope you found a place to sleep, i know you're bound to think of me”
“you can come home to me when you're ready, i left the gate unlocked for you, til then i’m sending out smoke signals, hoping i’ll see yours too”
also, the ending is just repeating the line “i miss you” seven times as it fades out
the village by wrabel
this song is technically about the transmasc experience in a conservative area but i think some of the messages fit anderperry so well!!
learning from someone wiser that you don’t need to be ashamed of yourself, the hate you can get from your family for being queer, the fact that there is nothing wrong with you and your gender and your sexuality and your dreams, very dps coded
it also discusses the fact that oppression of young queer folks can often lead to suicide
lyrics:
no, your mom don't get it, and your dad don't get it, uncle john don't get it. and you can't tell grandma, cause her heart can't take it, and she might not make it. they say don’t dare, don’t you even go there”
“feel the rumors follow you from monday all the way to friday dinner, you’ve got one day of shelter then it's sunday hell to pay, you young lost sinner”
“well i’ve been there, sitting in that same chair, whispering that same prayer half a million times. it’s a lie though, buried in disciples, one page of the bible isn't worth a life”
these are just the first few songs that come to mind for anderperry, but i’m sure there’s more!! anyways rip neil you slayed 😔

What’s the softest way to say
His father walking right past him and his mother at the resleeving facility. Waiting with little legs dangling off of the metal chairs before they are ushered out by attendants as the sun sets. They’d been there since noon.
You took away my friend,
Jimmy desoto is curled up on the floor, ash falling around him and onto his face, sticking to the tacky metallic blood. Takeshi watches as he claws his eyes out, shrieking insane and withering on the ground.
My buddy.
Sarah’s body is torn to shreds. Bullets decorate her flank, leaving an array of wounds and holes. She dies as soon as he hits the ground.
What’s the kindest way to say-
Alice’s body is ripped apart at the Wei clinic. He’d barely known her. He was still at fault for her death. She was the sacrifice.
You took away my friend.
Takeshi is floating on his back, his hands behind his head in a spacious swimming pool that came with the virtual formate Amelia had chosen to their journey to Latimer. Its quiet out, the others not disturbing him as he floats. The water is pure and blue and the sky is clear and the air is warm. Days ago he had just killed Carrera and everyone else at Dangreck. Tony. The doctor.
Cruickshank is dead. So is Hanson and Jiang and Schneider. Sujiadi went crazy.
They’re all gone.
What’s the kindest way to say,
Kristen is not dead, but she is left behind.
Her and Elias will reunite, and eventually, the pair will get married. Years down the road, they have two daughters that smile just like him.
In another life, those were his kids.
The end?
