Neku will be placed on hiatus!

        “  how odd,  on an occasion that opens a world of possibilities,  you choose to dress as a barista?  a respectable job,  no doubt,  but it’s just strange to me.  ”

Toriel isn’t herself, and neither is the strange human man in the vest. She’s not aware of either of those things though - she’s only aware of the rotting zombie shambling up towards him.

She charges at it on all fours and knocks its head clean off in a single smack, then raises herself up and bellows.

Only then does she turn to the human, and speak.

Oh, great, another dork, is what Peridot would normally think about the strange black-haired man in the vest.

Oh, great, another dork! is what Super Peridot thinks about the strange black-haired man in the vest.

She flies down in front of him on her broom, as purple and cosmic as the rest of her outfit, and smiles smugly even by her standards, holding out a hand and causing a star to form in her palm.

Get Rhythm by Johnny Cash

So the fun thing is, this song is actually referenced directly inside of Dead Cells itself- a quote from the song is the description for the Rhythm ‘n Bouzouki weapon, which is to say this is apparently what’s churning away in the machinations of Prisoner’s mind when he’s killing zombies with a guitar.

Taken at face value it seems inappropriately jaunty for someone who has quite frankly been through hell but considering Prisoner is the type to lie through the teeth he doesn’t even have anymore about how much of a problem he might be having this one landed its place on my inspiration track for the pure fact of this is basically Prisoner’s dissociating schadenfreude anthem.

(incidentally other songs of Cash’s fit more ‘sincerely’ for Prisoner, since it’s hardly like every one of them’s just a jaunty little guitar tune)

Death Cab for Cutie - No Sunlight

When I was young, lying in the grass I felt so safe in a warming bath Of sunlight Of sunlight.

Vast open sky Could do no harm Like an embrace From mother's arms In sunlight In sunlight.

With every year that came to pass More clouds appear until the sky went black And there was No sunlight, No sunlight. And there was No sunlight, No sunlight anymore.

A lot of people apply this to Undertale for rather obvious reasons, but I think it applies to Toriel specifically in a really sad way. “Like an embrace/from a mother’s arms” is especially a Toriel-relevant lyric, but just the idea that she has hidden herself away, deep underground, far from her ex-husband or her role as queen or anything else from her old life, to live in the past and watch her adopted children die over and over and over...
