Happy Birthday @lorettastwilight​​

25. the last great american dynasty by Taylor swift 

To no one’s surprise, tswift was my top listened to artist because of folklore. This song makes me think of Helia and Rue. I see Helia in these lyrics “there goes the last great American dynasty/ Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been” because she really shakes up MACUSA and the American pureblood high society circles by just being Helia, self-possessed and soft-spoken and taking no shit. Rue is definitely the lyric She had a marvelous time ruining everything, referencing how she quietly literally ruins all of Dumbledore’s careful plans. 

50. Stay Awake by London Grammar 

THIS SONG. I don’t know why it isn’t higher on the list I swore I listened to it way more times because this is Peak Rue/Tom™️. Literally, their ship tag comes from the first verse. I am the blank page before you/ I am the fine idea you crave. The second verse tho, unparalleled in how perfect it is for Rum. I dont have a skin like you do/ To keep it all in like you do/ I don’t have a soul like you/ The only one I have/ Is the one I stole from you. Like...those lyrics speak for themselves. 

75. Shrike by Hozier 

Okay, so the theme of rebirth, while not quite resurrection but in the same vein, makes me think of Brynna, and therefore her relationship with Klaus. The second verse in particular: All of that goodness is going with you now/ Then when I met you, my virtues uncounted/ All of my goodness is going with you now. The idea of losing his goodness alongside his love, as if her dying/leaving has taken his heart/humanity with her very much fits Klaus and how he changes in the absence of Brynna. 

what is a ghost?

Something dead which still seems to be alive.

Loretta Jane Swan 

“Worse still, I was going to spill my guts to a bunch of virtual strangers when I still hadn't told my family the truth about me. That I was reborn, that I was a grown-ass woman masquerading as their child.”

In case anyone forgot who my favorite OC is, here’s a a simple yet lovely board to remind ya’ll.
