I didn't think they'd make a Magnus song, let alone one that was some twisted up ballad.
What's worse is this isn't just about Magnus and his turning—he is confronting his own nature too.
He hates how he was made, and yet he repeats the cycle— he makes companions out a selfish desire, and he resents his own unwillingness to stop himself. He feels monstrous.
Mother, do not die now. Nicki, please do not hate me anymore. Louis, stay with me. Claudia, forgive me child—but I need him more. Antoinette, make him come to me.
He just doesn't want to lose the people he loves, wants, needs. And he will do anything in his power to keep them. He is all the more willing to transgress if it is for his love.
He "hunted" Louis. Stalking and making appearances like the figure that haunted him over the stage lights. He tried to court him gently, but the moment he heard his lover wanting to die... he refused to let him go.
"I wanna give you everything I've got."
The proposal in the bloody church was a desperate, forceful plea. This was not the plan. He didn't want to do it like this. But he must. Kill and destroy anything that gets in the way.
He needed him to "ask me for it," to just nod his "beautiful head and say yes."
"Don't tell me the spell is breaking."
Please. Please want this. Want me. Don't make me do something terrible. Because if Louis had said no... would he really have left him in the defiled church?
"Ask for it, Wolfkiller, and you will live forever."
Strikingly similar. Both "asking" with a sort of obsession. In that moment he is both Magnus' child and the frightened boy huddled with his mastiffs or the man curled safe against Nicki in the île de la Cité when hope was new and "desperately alive."
