do not corner me, i am a wild animal

“The Chain” is the bond that keeps the relationship going and never-ending. It can also be seen as the chain that keeps the band together; linking the members together in ways that don’t allow them to truly part ways. Written in a time when the band members were not on talking terms due to breakups and rifts in the relationships they had, the lyrics are often said to have been attacks at each other, but the band also suggests that there is some underlying love that doesn’t let them completely part ways.

Like, stoic characters finally feeling comfortable enough to cry, whether it be stifled sobs or labored wails of grief? Immaculate.

Serious characters falling apart because a pun caught them off guard? Stunning.

Strong characters falling onto a couch/bed and immediately falling asleep because they just can’t keep their eyes open a moment longer? Beautiful.

Icy characters being caught with a passion of theres, like a specific show or interest, and then launching into an excited, almost kid-like rant once given the opportunity like it was the first time anyone has shown any interest in their pastimes while a person attentively listens? And then they are like, “Oh, sorry, I...I tend to ramble. Forgive me.” And the other person just has stars in their eyes? Spectacular.

I love this post, but I raise you:
