#muse hellboy

Ooooohhh Missa this is a really really fun question!

Okay, so. I will have to try and narrow this down. I'm gonna stick to only my monster-y muses cuz that's what mood I'm really in lately as if that wasn't obvious. But I could totally revisit this another time for more muses!

Lessee.

I thiiiiink for Red here I'd go with "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival. It's old-fashioned, it sounds almost cheerful and upbeat like HB tries to be, but the lyrics talk about an impending doom that could either refer to his line of work or to his destiny to bring about the end of the world. Plus I see this totally being one of his favorite songs.

Not letting myself cheat and say 'Evermore' so instead I'm gonna go with "Creep" by Radiohead. It goes well with his self-loathing and desire to be seen and loved. And now I can't use this song for any of the other monsters so I gotta get creative XD

"What Could Have Been" by Sting and Ray Chen. I can't hear those lyrics and not think about the Creature. "I am the monster you created." "I want you to hurt like you hurt me today." "Why don't you love who I am?" IT FITS SO MUCH!

Also fun fact Sting actually played Frankenstein (the scientist, not the creation) in a movie from 1985 called the Bride. So there's that.

Lucy gets a song, ironically, sung by another tragic character named Lucy. "A New Life" from Jekyll & Hyde. Because I will never stop being sad for this poor girl who all she ever dreamed of was a happy life with people she loved who loved her back, and the fact she never got it in the novel is the most heartbreaking part of the whole story.

And now we get a couple secret menu muses I haven't used much yet! ...Or at all!

"Epiphany" from Sweeny Todd, specifically the one by Josh Groban. Not only because that's my voice claim for the Phantom, but also because this is exactly the unhinged, vengeful, tragic mood that embodies my interpretation of Erik.

For every "♡" I get I'll give a tip on how to win my muse's heart.

Hellboy loves any lady who can not only keep up with him, but can look at him like he's... Normal.

Not like nobody in his life looks at him like he's some hideous monster or anything, but there's a difference between not being bothered by what he is and just... not even seeing it. Just viewing him for himself, not the horns or tail or the monster-hunting.

It's how his father looked at him, how Abe and Liz and the folks closest to him at the BPRD look at him. He's not the half-demon weapon against the paranormal, he's just the big lug who loves candy and cats and beer.

First bingo is up! Go on, let's see if your muse(s) could turn Red's head. XD

'Hellboy' was never meant to be a name, exactly. But Professor Broom had come up with the title to refer to the 'thing' he had found and by the time it was clear that this thing was a person 'Hellboy' had already stuck as his name. Broom felt some regret over that for the rest of his life, wishing he had given his adopted son a real name.

He preferred to call Hellboy 'Son' and 'Boy.' If he could go back and tell his younger self that the little red ape he found was going to be his child, Broom would have named him Michael.
