Which of my muses the song gives me vibes for 💃🏽

Not really Daginy actually, though I def see where you’re coming from. I’d put this more in the Aubade camp tbh? The sound of mournful soloists bemoaning the state of the the world and their heart is a more romantic thing than most of Daginy vibes? Daginy vibes get poetic and dark, but not usually romantic. Cress and Lyrian, on the other hand, are full drama, they are the main characters of the mainline opera, full on, constantly.

Which of my muses the lyrics are most relatable for 🎼

HM. Probably honestly Lyrian, about the loss of her signmate and how she feels about that kick back reaction to loss being- WELL NEVER AGAIN. She did immediately renege on that after cress happened tho.

Daginy feels pretty strongly for and about people and that’s a big part of who they want to be and why they do what they do, they’d never consider their heart an empty tomb or refuse to see it again.

Which of my muses would personally listen to this song 🎧

Probably Cress? Again, very romantic, soulful stuff, the sort of thing she’d put on when she wants to lose herself in her breakup feels. 3:’(

♠️ Well. Cress’ crush on Melete is a virtue of a couple things. 

1) Melete doesn’t really pay attention to her. She likes it when she gets attention.

2) Melete only pays attention to REALLY WEIRD SPECIFIC THINGS ABOUT HER AND IT MAKES HER MAD. 

3) Melete’s socially awkward as hell and Cress thinks she can improve that. Who better to teach social manners than an empath? 3:) (the answer is honestly, basically anyone else please. AUBADES AREN’T EMPATHETIC IF THEY CAN’T HEAR ANYONE, and also like... some of cress’ social skills are learned from Manipulation 101) 

I think a proper pitch for her would probably definitely involve someone who wasn’t as focused on appearances and would turn their nose up at Cress’ obsessive maintenance of her image. Someone who could deal with the fact Cress is pretty ruthless and vicious when she puts her mind to it, and tease her into loosening up a bit. 

If Cress relaxed for like more than two seconds and wasn’t always on the grind, she’d write and play more music that she likes instead of what she thinks is popular, go star gazing, read a trashy romance book, maybe get a massage. She’d do real people things instead of just chasing after power and praise.

Unfortunately ambition is like 60% of her personality and would do these things she likes kinda grumpily.

oh geez i dont know. Getting a rail would probably be pretty difficult for Cress- she can manipulate people pretty easily thanks to the hearing part her power, and not even the speaking one. Definitely would have to be a highblood, she’d fuck up someone lower, kind of because she just doesn’t respect lowbloods really. Torrent is highblood heavy as compared to the rest of the IPC and she wasn’t exactly accepted by the lowblood community she grew up with. 

Her moirail would probably be kind of low energy and be not easily manipulated. Her rail can’t be at all judgy, because as soon as Cress feels judged in some way she’d pull on all of her appearances and power play. Ideally, her rail would be someone she could just be herself around without yanking on gossip threads or pulling some kind of power play.
