yumyulack truly is the funniest character concept on that show.
He is an alien bounty hunter. He is 15. He killed a whole bar full of neonazis. He gets night terrors and has to sleep in his parents bed. He shrinks people and imprison them for his own amusement, he is still bullied every day at school. He went to hell and bullied every demon there, called satan a big bitch. One of his dads calls him yummybear
Hey y'all, do you have any good recs of songs that fit Bill’s perspective toward Ford?
I’m making character playlists, as you do, and it turns out there are a LOT of songs like “singer toward the person who betrayed them,” “singer toward a pseudo-divine figure they pseudo-worship,” “singer toward someone they cared about who hurt them deeply,” “singer toward powerful person they fear,” etc.—so I’ve got plenty of songs from Ford’s perspective toward Bill.
But it’s a lot harder to find, like, “singer toward innocent victim they totally betrayed” (unless it’s an apology song—not fitting here) or “singer toward their worshiper” or “singer toward someone they see as a friend but are WILDLY condescending toward” or even just “singer to someone they think betrayed them but from the lyrics you kinda think maybe the singer might be the bad guy here,” etc. So I’m struggling to find songs that feel fitting from Bill’s POV. There’s a lot of songs about assholes but fewer songs from the asshole.
nb4 anybody says “I Can’t Decide”: I already know “I Can’t Decide.” I do not want “I Can’t Decide.”
beautiful crime by tamer
it’s a bit remorseful on the singer’s end, but it can be ambiguous as hell, either self-aware or slightly sardonic but still pensive. the tone is a bit ominous but mostly nostalgic and dark, so I feel it fits him well. “I gave you everything and it’s a beautiful crime” is the chorus line and if that’s not bill I dunno what is lol.
lyrics of note:
“if I could take your hand, oh if you could understand” about his deal-making
“Half in the shadows, half burned in flames” about his mindscape death at the shack
“Leaving the things we lost, leaving the ones we crossed, I have to make an end so we begin to save my soul at any cost” lots of layered potential there, either about him betraying Ford and/or about his redemption arc later on, could have bittersweet tones or even just bitter ones
A series of wildfires exacerbated by hurricane winds and climate change has destroyed homes, historical sites, and natural flora in Lahaina, Maui. Thousands have been displaced, and lives have been lost.
WWC’s mod Ren has put together a page outlining resources for residents displaced and affected by the wildfires, and for those who wish to support them during this crisis.
Please share this resource and consider donating, especially if you are not local to Hawai'i and have visited or are considering visiting the islands.
