#song headcanons
Okay I don’t know where else to say this or post this but I have TWO songs that I very specifically headcanon to be Vi’s and Jinx’s songs and I’m gonna scream about them.
First, we’ve got First Love/Late Spring by Mitski, and this is Vi’s POV on her relationship with Caitlyn. Please.
The black hole
Of the
Window
Where you sleep
The night breeze
Carries
Something sweet
A peach tree
Wild women don’t get the blues
But I find that
Lately I’ve been crying like a
Tall child
So please hurry leave me
I can’t breathe
Please don’t say you love me
胸がはち切れそうで (my heart is about to burst)
One word from you and I would
Jump off of this
Ledge I’m on
Baby
Tell me “don’t”
So I can
Crawl back in
And I was so young
When I behaved
Twenty five
Yet now I find
I’ve grown into
A tall child
And I don’t wanna go home yet
Let me walk to the top of the big night sky
All of it is perfectly Vi. The “Wild women don’t get the blues; but lately I’ve been crying like a; Tall child,” & “ I was so young; When I behaved; Twenty five; Yet now I find; I’ve grown into; A tall child,” lines hit perfectly because she’s stuck. She’s been the responsible adult her whole life, she’s taken care of Powder and the rest, she’s taken the fall for them, she’s been made to act mature but deep inside she never got the chance to grow into herself. She’s incredibly good at being a stone wall but the second her feelings are involved, her instinct is to push them away and run. Thus the “So please hurry leave me; I can’t breathe; Please don’t say you love me,” lines, directed at Caitlyn, make perfect sense. That’s where the whole oil and water analogy comes in. She’s trying her hardest to push her away because the emotions are too much for her to deal with.
Now onto Jinx’s song - Black Out Days by Phantogram.
Hide the sun
I will leave your face out of my mind
You should save your eyes
A thousand voices howling in my head
Speak in tongues
I don’t even recognize your face
Mirror on the wall
Tell me all the ways to stay away, away, away
And stay away, away, away
Dig a hole
Fireworks exploding in my hands
If I could paint the sky
Well all the stars would shine a bloody red
Stay away, away, away
And stay away, away, away
And stay away (I’m hearing voices all the time up in my mind)
(I’m hearing voices and they’re haunting my mind)
And stay away (I’m hearing voices all the time in my mind)
(I’m hearing voices and they’re haunting my mind)
Black out days
I don’t recognize you anymore
Do I really need to explain this one? It’s absolutely Jinx. From voices in her head, to not recognizing herself in the mirror/dealing with dual identities (between Jinx, who helps her deal with trauma through fully shutting it out being being cray cray, and Powder, who’s a soft, gentle child that really needs protection and love). And then uh… literally “Fireworks exploding in my hands,” which uh.. Jinx’s explosives. Which uh.. as a local Jinx x Ekko shipper, ahem-
And we know she’s good with fireworks, too. She can quite literally “paint the sky”.
