I have a request for poly Ozzie and Fizzarolli headcannons with an imp reader that Ozzie originally hired as a body guard for Fizz. The imp always has their skin bandaged up to the point none of it was visible and was very careful to keep it that way, but once in a relationship with the two they let them see that while their hair was a normal impish white their skin looked like a night sky filled with stars and galaxies. They didn't show it before because they didn't wanna be used for it but they felt safe trusting them with this secret. I just think it's an interesting idea so could you please do it?

Show me the Stars~

Youd have begun as a bodyguard for Fizz, which when you thought about it, made a lot of sense.

Fizz was an incredibly popular and obsessed over figure, being the right hand man of Asmodeus, you know, the embodiment of Lust he was in the lime light quite a bit.

Plus the twisted fan club of his, the club his Robo Fizz knock off's only helped fuel.

And so it made sense for him to have a bodyguard for when he wasn't with Asmodeus. You know, to fight off all those crazy bitches that practically licked the ground he walked upon.

Asmodeus went through an extensive vetting system to find just the right person to watch after his Fizzy-Pop, wanting someone interesting to entertain his Fizzy.

And well, you having your whole body bandaged, leaving not an inch of skin exposed, the Sin surprised how menacing You could be as an Imp.

And well, that was interesting, and he knew at the very least youd be entertaining for his Fizz.

Of course, while you seemed menacing to most, that being the purpose of your job. Fizzaroli just wanted to figure out what was under the wraps, that being the first thing he asked of you, you telling him bluntly you werent gonna tell him.

But that certainly didnt stop him from consistently asking, like, every 10 minutes. And since he was technically your boss, you couldn't do to much.

He'd pester you day in and day out, playfully wanting to know what was under the wraps.

And while you were happy to refute him, telling him your job wasn't to answer questions, or show him your body, this would only make Fizz even more curious.

And while you could handle his pestering you with questions and requests, but when he physically tried to remove your bandages, you'd snap.

You'd pin him down, wrapping his own arm around his throat, telling him harshly if he ever did that again you'd choke him to death, regardless of what Sin was signing your paycheck.

But you couldnt help but get a little flustered when he tried to be playful and asked you to choke him harder. Stumbling back before telling him to keep his hands to himself.

After that he would keep his hands to himself, he'd just turn up the questions to 11, asking what was under the bandages every five minutes.

It got so bad, you'd make a deal, if he could guess what was under there, specifically, you'd tell him. Giving him a single guess a day.

Youd also be let into the more private aspects of his lifestyle, seeing how he and Asmodeus interacted in private, including more then an eyeful of just how physical they could be, you often seeing them in the first steps of fucking.

And hearing the rest, not paid enough to actually watch them fuck. Although you knew most would happily pay to see it.

Asmodeus would take an interest in you too, but he was much more eloquent about it.

He'd ask, never pushing it, but planting little seeds of interest, genuinely trying to get to know you.

And while you weren't the most hospitable of persons, you did mingle with the Sin on occasion, the two of you developing something of a playful relationship. After all, it wasn't every day you got to mingle with a Sin.

As Fizz' bodyguard, you spent an overwhelming amount of time with the pair, more so Fizz then Asmodeus, but you saw the Sin plenty, as much as the half robo jester even.

And while you'd try and stay all buisness, keeping up your cold, serious persona. The two of them would chip away at that harsh facade, until you were almost comfortable around them. Or at least, you weren't openly hostile.

And yes, despite being hired to literally protect him, after the little bandage incident you came to dislike the jester, almost hating him.

But over time, and after Fizz apologised, genuinely sorry, you'd steadily warm up to him, the two of you even having a game.

Every day, Fizz would get a single guess on why you wore full body bandages, and if he was right, you'd show him.

He'd had a bunch of guesses. There was the usual, scars, burns, ugly birthmarks or disfigurements, you always telling him he was wrong, the jester becoming more and more irritated.

His guesses became more and more fantastical. Your favourite so far was 'getting mauled while hunting wyvern'. That one actually making you laugh.

Asmodeus would also take part in the game, and as befitting his lustful status, he guessed, 'being scratched up by a pack of Succubus mid orgy', and again, you had a little laugh, the Sin eager to play along.

Your bond with the pair only grew stronger over the months, until you dare say, you were friendly. Damn near a third member of the gang, although you stayed out of the spotlight and bedroom, only ever stepping in if a fan got a little overzelous.

But over the months, youd steadily get closer to the pair, you'd even begin flirting back, the pair having been flirting with you since day one just loving that. Fizz more so then Asmodeus with... mixed results.

And over the months, your flirting and playful jabs only got more bold, becoming more and more comfortable with the pair.

It'd all acumulate one night. The three of you'd be hanging out in the Sins penthouse.

Now you, being a professional that totally didn't flirt with his employer, didn't drink. Buuut after a little convincing from a certain embodiment of Lust, you'd have a drink, one! That may have maybe tricked you and turned into several, the three of you quickly getting liquored up.

Youd talk, you'd swap stories, you'd have a good laugh.

You'd keep drinking, The Sin and his jester slowly getting physical.

Youd all talk a little over your life, the Sin and Jester venting a little on the burdens they endured, until the conversation turned to you. And after several moments, Fizz bluntly asked why you wear the bandages.

You tell him bluntly that wasn't how the game was played. But this time he pressed you.

Fizz would scoff, telling you you didn't need to hide, I mean, he was pretty fucked up as well.

He'd get close, showing you how his cybernetics met his flesh, showing his own shame, the Imp telling you its not something he's proud of, but he doesn't mind sharing with you.

He trusted you.

Youd be taken aback by that, not sure how to respond, staring at your half finished drink for several moments.

But it'd be after Ozzie leaned down, cupping your chin and telling you you didn't have to worry, they both cared for you. There was no judgements.

Youd sit there for several moments, conflicted on what to do, until you sighed, looking them both over.

Youd get up, giving a bit of a stretch, before slowly working on the bandages.

Youd do it slowly, revealing your mess of white hair first, that getting some 'ooh's' and 'aaahs' from the pair.

Youd loosen up the bandages across the body, before with skills only gained from years of bandaging yourself, you slid off most of the bandages in a single move.

And in a single move, you revealed yourself to them for the first time, your whole body looked... other worldly.

Literally.

Your body was marked like a star map, the whole thing beautiful, yet inconceivable.

You'd show more, showing the many galaxies and constellations that marked your form, the whole thing both strange, but also incredibly beautiful.

The two would be in awe, never having guessed you'd look like that under all those bandages.

Your skin was both difficult, but entrancing to look at, both Asmodeus and Fizzaroli staring at you in utter awe.

Several moments would pass before Asmodeus would reach out, cupping you little face in his giant hand, he'd tell you softly, you were beautiful, Fizzy eagerly agreeing.

That would break something in you, you breaking down, the Sin quickly pulling you into his chest, holding you close as you sobbed your little heart out.

The two would hold you close, letting you let out all that pent up fear, finally feeling like you didn't need to hide yourself any longer.

Once all the tears were shed, you'd be laid on the Sin's chest, curled up with Fizzy into his mass of fluff.

He'd run a hand up and down your back, the man asking why youd keep such a sight hidden.

And so, after several moments, you'd tell him you kept yourself hidden because of people like, well, him.

A powerful demon like himself could easily take claim and ownership of an Imp, and with a skin like your own, well, you could get a lot of attention from powerful demons for such a thing.

Asmodeus was a little erked that you'd lumped him in with all those sickos.

Buuut, then again, he'd done more fucked up shit then he could remember, so, he couldnt be too annoyed over it.

Nothing would happen that night, but the next morning, waking up with the two of them, Fizz would rather bluntly ask if youd like to... make it a threesome.

You were a little hesitant, still distrustful of... anyone.

But when Asmodeus reached out, cupping your face and tenderly telling you they'd take it as slow as you'd like, you'd agree, the three of you becoming an unofficial poly relationship.

Youd still wear your bandages when out and about, something they were both kinda upset over, but they didn't push it too far, especially this early into your little threesome.

And during the day it'd be business as usual, you keeping up your usual tough guy facade, keeping your bodyguard persona on. But when alone with the pair, you lightened up significantly.

Youd joke and laugh, and most importantly, you went without the bandages.

Sex would... happen. Eventually.

Youd be a total virgin, having never let anyone get even slightly close enough to do such lewd things.

This was like Christmas for the pair, getting delightful reactions to every little thing they did. Plus, your junk was all stary, which was just great for the pair.

And my, Asmo and Fizz absolutely tormented you.

They ran you through pleasures your pretty little brain couldn't begin to comprehend.

Youd ended up a moaning, drooling mess more then once. The pair showing your stary form absolute adoration, melting your mind in pleasure.

And over the weeks, you'd steadily become more and more comfortable, even playing back when Fizz would get all playful with you, or when Ozzie made a playful remark, you'd snap back with your own joke.

Youd begin lightening up throughout the day, you were always stern or serious, but when with Fizz or Asmodeus, you began acting like, well, like a lover. And more often then not, when Fizz got all playful, you'd play back, the two of you usually found flirting, or playing around.

Youd also slipped of plenty of times to "assure his security", usually assuring it multiple times in a nearby closet, or private room.

Youd continue spending your nights together, baring it all in what Asmodeus called, "Showing them the stars."

He never made an issue over it, but Asmo would really want you to be comfortable being all natural outside the bedroom.

He wanted to show all of Hell your dazzling form, but he wanted it to be your choice. He wanted you to show the world your true self willingly.

He'd broach the subject a few times, usually in passing conversation, but he would eventually broach the subject proper.

You were naturally resistant, not trusting you'd be safe all... exposed like that.

But he made sure to bring up you were under his protection now, so you were about as safe as you could get, it's not like some other demon could mess with you while under his protection. Well, unless Lucifer wanted to play, but how likely was that.

But even with that, you were hesitant.

So, Ozzie played it smart. He slowly normalised the idea to you, getting you outfits that accentuated your natural form, showing a little more skin himself, and just being all round supportive as possible.

It'd take weeks of positive reinforcement, until in a rather lewd moment, the embodiment of lust made you promise to show your real self, you making that promise, mind clouded by pleasure.

And he'd hold you to that promise, even if it was a little manipulative.

He wouldn't make it super obvious, it'd just be a regular work day, you walking in, in your usual attire, except well... you were finally visible to all.

You were awkward the entire day, being stared at by everyone, Fizz and Asmodeus both fawning over you the entire day, making you even more flustered.

Youd go full bare from then on, despite your wish to re bandage, quickly becoming well known for your star-marked skin. And well, after a while you found it wasn't as bad as you thought itd be, but much of that was due to Asmodeus' protecting you.

Who knew what a prince or king of hell could do to you if not for him.

With your grand reveal, both Asmo and Fizz became even more depraved, the two 'rewarding you' for your bravery Over, and over, and over, and over.

Needless to say, your sex life picked right up, especially without having to wait for you to unwrap, sex turning up to 11.

Your relationship would never be fully public, Asmodeus having to protect his image, an image that didn't allow things like genuine romance.

But you were quite the threesome. A half-robot-Imp-jester, an Imp with a Star-mapped-skin and the literal embodiment of Lust.

So you kept it behind closed doors, your relationship only becoming more intense and Sexually charge. And while the public would never know about it, you had a very intimate and loving relationship.

i've seen ppl talking about Meryl & how little we know about her family, but the geo-plant arc of trigun chapters 10-12 gives us some really useful pieces of info, i think

first, we see her thinking of herself as Cold Blooded, just like the dude that wanted Badwick to kill his own parents

[ID: Meryl stands with her gun drawn and a troubled expression on her face as she thinks to herself, "Exactly as you described him... the cold-blooded type..." In the next panel, she closes her eyes and wonders, "Am I really... any different?" End ID]

at the start of this arc, Milly wrote one of her massive letters to her family, while Meryl mentioned not knowing what she would write to hers. then we see Milly get PISSED at Badwick after she learns he threatened his parents at gunpoint, which leads to this page:

[ID: Meryl, held back by Milly, tells her, "Milly... I envy you... My father would have wanted me to get justifiably angry at a person who points a gun at his parents. That is an important thing." She flashes back to the moment in the chapter before where Milly is attempting to punch the son, Badwick. Milly calls in concern, "Ma'am?" Meryl continues, "But I... I just stood there and took it all in without even budging. I am such a cold person. I chose this path of blood and tears without thinking about the rest of my life. All I can see is what is right in front of me." The page shows the face of the father, dressed in basic battle gear, who is watching silently. Now in tears, Meryl laments, "Why could I not see... that when I closed myself off to him, something was wrong? I..." In the last panel, Milly stares down at Meryl in surprise as Meryl slaps her own cheeks and exclaims, "No... Nevermind!" End ID]

this entire situation is obviously striking something in Meryl's heart. some kind of insecurity she has about her distant relationship with her own parents. she shakes herself out of it, determined to not fall into a funk, and then jumps into defense of the land.

after the battle's over & the father's fallen to his ass, we see these pages:

[ID: In the first page, the father, off screen, tells Meryl and Milly, "There are no words to express how thankful I am for your help." Meryl replies with a smile, "Ah. There's no need." The father goes on to tell her, "Ms. Meryl... I know it was rude of me, but I overheard your conversation earlier. Having raised that rebellious son, I don't know if I have the right thing to say, but... All people are different, but the bonds between parents and children are inseparable. It is a great burden, but also the most precious thing in the world..." In the second page, the father concludes, "... Choose your own path, and walk it with confidence. All of life... is connected. You must live your own life, and your parents will love through you." As he speaks, we see Meryl listening to him with a surprised expression. End ID]

this entire arc feels like a metaphor for Meryl's own situation. after these pages, we see Badwick turning in the deed, then finding out that his parents were entrusting the property to him after all. he's the problem son, someone who separated himself from his parents due to his disagreements with them (likely stemming from his dead younger brother). yet at the end of the day, his parents still love him and entrusted their life's work to him.

Meryl sees all this go down, hears these words, and it touches something in her heart. so we see her go from talking about writing to her family like this in chapter 10:

[ID: A single panel of Meryl with her eyes closed and a peaceful expression on her face. She tells Milly, "That would be the normal thing to do... especially when I've been away from home for so long. But I don't know what to write beyond 'it's dry'..." End ID]

to this bit at the end of chapter 12:

[ID: Meryl approaches a mailbox with luggage in hand. She slips a letter inside, then sighs with a smile. Milly yells, "Maa'aam! What are you doing?! We're already late!" To which Meryl replies, "Ok! Ok! Ok! I'm coming!" End ID]

the experience was enough for her to accept that she might not be the closest with her parents (or just father? considering she only ever mentions a father in this all), but it's still worth reaching out even if she doesn't have much to say.

this arc is the most we see about Meryl's backstory in the manga, but I think we can draw a few things from it. we have a definite mention of a father, but no others. no mention of siblings or any other family members. she's distant from her father, too busy following her heart & goals, but she doesn't have a bad relationship with him. just Distant. she feels disconnected from him, even Cold, for her focus on her work & the practicalities in front of her. but even with that disconnect, she still cares enough about him to feel guilty when she realizes she's been doing this.

and then considering later, when we see the flashback of a man giving her the gun... i'd assumed that was possibly a senior at her work (probably tristamp giving me that perception, from Roberto), but keeping all the rest of this in mind... it really could have been her father.

i went looking to try to find that part. did not find that one exactly, but i DID find this one from trimax chapter 34:

[ID: A nearly bald man with a kind face and what appear to be shooting ear muffs around his neck tells Meryl, "Consider guns delicate. Women, most of all, should make use of them. One shot will level the playing field between you and a big, strong man." End ID]

if this is indeed her father, it would explain why she knows how to shoot like she does. perhaps her father taught her as she was growing up out of the wish to help her protect herself. maybe they weren't incredibly close, but he still clearly cared about her & wanted what was best for her and her safety. the kind of father that's content to let her do whatever her heart wishes, since her happiness is his happiness.

and then chapter 12 ends with this page:

[ID: A black framed page with a single panel at the center. The panel shows Meryl from behind, running with her luggage in hand. The text boxes to the sides state, "All of life is connected by a river... And the beginning of the river... is now." End ID]

she continues on her own path, not looking back, but she is still connected to the ones in her heart... including her father.

(Manga panels referenced from @trigun-manga-overhaul !)

If Billy Hargrove is your idea of evil, you’re a life virgin. Seriously, you must live in a hell of a security bubble.

An abused teenager who spent the majority of his screen time in tears and being taken advantage of repeatedly isn’t evil. Labeling stuff you don’t understand as evil or problematic... do y’all ever get tired??

Being exposed to “the other side” is literally a part of life, and it’s not a bad thing. It can be good for you, actually.

#yes i returned to main to say this #its so fucking stupid #id say you should watch more media to see a real villain #but too much media may be part of the problem idk #billy hargrove #fandom wank #it is painfully obvious just how sheltered a majority of antis are #that or theyre just in denial #wasting your time guilt tripping strangers into not liking a character is just dumb #if yall werent too quick to shut out what you don't understand...#there are actual problematic characters in media #idk come back when you can name 5 real ones lmfao #its pathetic #i can give you some rn #literally most hotd characters #patrick bateman from american psycho #theres homelander #oh and soldier boy

❗❗❗❗❗❗

BOTHERING YOU!!! I AM INTERESTED!!!

AUGHH OKAY OKAY SO-

It’s INCREDIBLY similar to canon, that’s like, half of the point. Jamil and Azul have been in the same class for their whole school a career and I firmly believe Azul has HAD a crush on him since their first year even in canon (ex. “I’ve always been curious about you since we were first years.”)

so in this au it happened completely on accident. Since they were only around 3 weeks- a month into school, Jamil didn’t have kalim to worry about yet (who arrived a month later) and azul didn’t have such a large reputation (so Jamil was a little less cautious). Potion project, truth serum. Should be easy right? That was until azul accidentally lost balance and tried to catch himself on the cauldron, sending it all over him and into his mouth.

so when Jamil leans over to ask if he’s okay, because a giant metal thing just tipped over him, the first thing out of his mouth is “great seven you’re gorgeous.”

when Jamil is promptly like “what” Azul literally can not control his tongue and is like “please go on a date with me-“ and Jamil just stares at him for a moment before going “…sure” because, well, hell. He’s free from kalim for the first time in his life, he thinks he’s pretty too, it’s worth a shot and he’s under a truth potion, so at least he knows he finds him attractive. So sure, couldn’t hurt to try.

And it did, in fact, not hurt to try, they snuck their way up the astronomy tower and had a nice dinner that azul made. And they were both, very very happy.

another date later (this time by Jamil, where they played mancala in one of the scarabian common places) and they were official.

And a month later, (a week or so after kalim transferred) Jamil joined basketball and Azul became his number one fan, where a year later Ace learns about his existence from

Azul keeps Jamil from becoming more stressed about kalim, and Jamil uses his study guides to not go insane. Jamil also becomes a third enforcer for the monstro lounge, and knows EXACTLY how everything works, because hell he was there right next to Azul and helping him figure it all out when it was happening. He’ll catch someone trying to run from Azul and his contracts and toss them right back into the shark pit.

theyre also horrible. Like the most couple to ever couple. Jamil waits outside every housewarden meeting to walk with Azul, they always either bring breakfast or coffee for each other (they’ll switch it up on who brings it each day). Hell even Ace originally knew Azul as “Jamil’s boyfriend from octavinelle” during games.

#Also I think that Azul wouldn’t overblot (because Jamil would seriously help with his self esteem and because JAMIL SHOULD PUNCH LEONA-)#Listen I’m not a Leona hater #But I didn’t like him during book 3-#Listen I’m sorry I just can’t sympathize that strongly with a guy who is still rich as hell and royalty #You don’t have to work #I don’t feel that bad for you not being king #Jamil probably would still overblot but I have angst for that #Angst you’d probably like actually #You know when you were thinking about Jamil feeling bad after his overblot??#Imagine how he’d feel knowing he chucked his boyfriend halfway across the desert #But yeah #the sillies #id also think it’d be FUCKING HILARIOUS for canon Jamil to meet this jamil #“Oh shit the magic is all messed up- give me a second I need to call my bf to make sure he’s okay”#“Your what”#“My… boyfriend? What you don’t have one?”#“NO????”#“Life must suck for you then.”#“What? You think I need someone to be happy?”#“Well are you?”#“…”#(He feels bad because he doesn’t get Azul and weighted blanket cuddles when he’s sad)#(He feels bad thinking about all of the bad mental episodes Azul’s helped him through)#After Jamil figures out the other version of him is dating Azul he’s like “Him?? That schemer-??”#He insults him so much other Jamil is like “listen I don’t care if your me I can only take so many insults to my boyfriend before I just #Fight you.”#Jamil vs jamil #jamil viper #Azul Ashengrotto #jamiazu

Would love to hear about potential parallel stories/lore in judaism 👁👁👁👁💞

i realized that i actually havent thought very in depth about parallels and themes in the bible in a LONG time but let me think...

one that jumped to the forefront of my mind is something that idk if its a theme/parallel or not, but it has to do with moses. in the torah (really in the talmud i think which is a bunch of rabbi's headcanons about the torah that were then accepted as canon later on), when moses was taken in by pharaoh a test was performed to see whether moses would overthrow him, and by extension whether he was safe to keep and raise. that test was to show baby moses two pots: one of gold and riches and one of hot coals, and whichever he grabbed would be indicative as to what kind of son he'd be. so obviously, being a baby, moses starts to go for the shiny stuff. but (so the story goes) since moses has plot armor an angel (of death [?]) reached out and moved his hand to the hot coals. this is important because not only did it secure his safety to grow up under pharaoh's watch, but it burned his hand, which he then put in his mouth which permanantly burned his tongue and gave him a lisp. now the lisp isnt really talked about much more until later on, and its kind of minor so i get why its often left out, but it changes the whole feeling of the story! because of the lisp, moses gets nervous to speak in front of pharaoh's mages, and so it's aaron who does the talking when they turn their staffs into snakes. it's aaron (iirc) who speaks to the hebrews and tells them the word of god. moses is the one who speaks directly to god and does his bidding in the stories, but aaron is the one who conveys the information. and AND i just remembered this continues!! it continues to be true that moses doesnt always tell his own story!! in the scientific world it is generally accepted that there are a few different authors/compilers of the torah, but in judaism there is one main accepted truth of how it was written with two endings: moses wrote the whole thing up until the last chapter when he was on mount sinai, writing down word for word what god told him to. the ending, though, changes because at the end of the bible moses dies there is a debate over whether moses wrote his own death before it happened (since god is omnipresent blah blah blah) or whether joshua took over for him after he died. if the latter is true, that would be the second time someone tells moses' story for him!! first aaron tells the mages and the hebrews who moses is and why he was sent to save them, and then joshua tells the story of his death and his exile from the holy land! there are THEMES and MOTIFS i can SEE THEM

i have no idea if this is what you were asking for but thank you for inviting me to infodump XD <3

#theres other stuff about moses too now that i think about it #i think this was just at the front of my mind since i just watched the prince of egypt last sunday lol #or whenever it was #i almost talked about something else and now i legitimately cant remember what it was #but if i flipped through im sure id remember more #oh i remember now it was how moses wasnt allowed to get into the holy land #even though he was the one chosen to deliver the hebrews #and even though the hebrews were forgiven time and time again #moses fucks up once when god was having a bad day or something #and boom exiled from the holy land #like my dude wanders the desert for 40 fucking years #cant you give him a break #themes and motifs my beloved <3 #im sorry this is so long this is kind of my word vomit #ty for asking <3 #id also love to talk on the server if thats easier just so you and me and jed can all talk at the same time lol (no pressure tho for real)#asks #alistair my beloved <3

My english lyrics for Triage woo! (They're written out under the cut, I just wanted to share my lil chart lol)

Though I'm too indecisive to officially label this as my favorite song, it's had the strongest emotional impact on me by far. It holds a special place in my heart, I definitely wanted to write lyrics for it first! I'll leave all my rambling process commentary in the tags, but I was so happy with how it came out!!

All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,

This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.

If that were the case, it should have been fate for me to die.

That's the truth, given my crime, so why--?

No, I can't take it, to this cruel joke I'll submit. You

don't know, you can't know, but I'm ready to admit:

Killing for them, extracting for them, won't change the fact they're dead.

I need someone to tag me as RED.

It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)

Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?

I see, the world is cruel and leaves you on your own.

(I can't die) to atone. (I can't love) alone.

I can't be saved (saved), you've nothing to give. Saved (saved)

But what if I lived? Why else would you choose to forgive?

I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, you need me, (I can be) indispensable.

Tilt to and fro, I know the scales should land on GUILTY for me.

Tilt fro and to, it's INNOCENT that they choose.

They cry (x4) out in pain, I can hear them. There's no one else, to guard their health,

My mission is offering help.

All of those cards of promise thrown down carelessly,

This must be retribution for all I've taken endlessly.

So if that's the case, then it must be fate to make amends,

Extract that fang before we meet the end.

It makes me sick (sick), it's too unpleasant. Sick (sick)

Is this punishment? What do you mean I'm INNOCENT?

I see, the world is cruel, but what I've realized is

(Now I want) to be INNOCENT. (Now I want) to live.

It makes me sick (sick), This wasn't my plan, hostages at my command.

Their future resting in my hands

I see, there's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.

Maybe this was meant to be -- oh -- or maybe neither of us can know

There's lives to save so let's be sensible.

Right now, please save me, (I will be) indispensable.

I mentioned earlier that I always get annoyed with myself when people post translyrics and I can't figure out the rhythm they were going for, so here's a recording of me singing, but I'm bad at it! It's just for fun! Like a rough draft for music! Because the only thing worse than people hearing my voice is people thinking I can't count syllables!

#milgram #shidou kirisaki #lyrics #im real happy with how they came out :))#when i first got into milgram i started writing tear drop lyrics but got discouraged #(ill be revisiting them next but) it was so fun to work with this song!#i love the sound of it and had a great time creating my version #i wanted his repeated lines in the refrain to have a punch to them #and was SO satisfied giving the doctor 'sick' and 'saved' as his focus words #the mention of 'throw down' wasnt originally intended but it fit so well i just had to keep it asdfsd #i looked up an internet translation for 'Shinenai sentaku o ikenai ai o' because the official english line confused me #and it gave me 'i cant die. i cant go. i cant love.' and i loved that more than the official translation actually #really the only word that doesnt flow quite like id want is 'punishment' but the meaning/rhyme made me happy so i kept it haha #nothing can replace the sound satisfaction 'Yurayura tenbin yurusa naide hoshii noni/Yureteru yurushite hoshii to' gives me tho -_-#and i wanted a more open-mouth sound when he sings 'dattaka' the second time -- i absolutely love how he draws it out #but had to settle for what i could make work 🤷‍♀️#we are spitting in the face of cringe culture and posting my voice!!#some writers are okay if their complete vision doesnt make it across to the audience but Not Me #i gotta show my whole vision and draft 😂#oh and excuse his voicemail message LMAO #i love shidou with all my heart but i have to tease him about shoving his profession in our face every chance he gets #(did we ever get a translation for that btw?)#but yeah im always preaching to do arts and things youre bad at just because theyre fun so i figured id take my own advice #because it was a lot of fun to sing :3 #and i dont know how to word this in the fans-having-collaborative-fun way and not a pretentious way #but if any of the milgram pals who like singing want to cover it hmu :D
