The Many Faces of You

The second I heard this song, I immediately thought of Azz and had to make this little graphic set. It suits him during the months post-Cerberus and how he has to navigate his new life as a 'clean' werewolf on the straight and narrow (under the guidance of the Luna family) because of how tumultuous life is for him in that time given his PTSD from the ousting ceremony, his deep sense of loss now that he doesn't have his old constant of the pack (nor his role as Beta), and his complex feelings toward Paul (and having to come to terms with the fact that Paul used and abused him since he was seventeen). "Learn to let go just to regrow" is probably the most character-appropriate line aside from the title/in-graphic lines that I used.

Want by Recoil is such a Mara-coded song to me. I can see her say the lyrics to Theo (or anyone else from/in the Bloodline Cult) and I can vividly see her dancing to it in all her 'princess' regalia. It also perfectly captures the kind of person she is, particularly as a cult leader and as Theo's vampiric sire -- she always wants control (especially over Theo), and she wants glory, and she wants vampiric ruling, and for her 'crown' to be the only one recognised... She just always wants. The song fits her entirely and I like the idea of it representing her complete, but quiet, insanity, especially when compared to Cerberus' alpha (were)wolf, Paul's violent and chaotic insanity.

I tried to do a 3/4 view I struggled and used a ref...and I ended up with this
