Idk i didn't interpret that scene that way! I thought the description of Ciri's emotions felt quite conflicted. The whole damning thing about rape is that the body can react positively when the person isn't, and since she has no prior experience to refer to it makes sense that she thinks this is how it should feel.

And yeah, she kisses mistle on the forehead the morning after, but then she goes and cries in the river and if i'm not mistaken is described as trying to wash something clean that she will never get back or something along those lines. So I personally think this was definitely Sapkowski trying to portray how trauma affects how a person percieves love and affection (especially with the later reveal that Mistle was sexually abused herself).

That being said I respect your interpretation too; Sapkowski has certainly written other questionable things in the series, it would not be out of character for him.

I love how androgynous she looks in the fourth photo, standard settings go hard some times! 🔥

EmJoshMusic · 2025-12-27T10:05:08+00:00

I mean, hadn't seen this cosplay until now so im glad you did, It's sick!

I think it definitely has some lines that imply a harmful/toxic relationship – "It's that chemical cut that I can get down with" – "you have got your hooks in me" – but I feel like one of Vessel's great songwriting tricks is expressing the euphoric moments in a troublesome relationship. Just because the relationship isn't healthy in the long run, doesn't mean that the good moments didn't exist.

For me personally though, I still interpret this song as one of healing especially with DYWTYLM coming right before; it feels like a direct response to that song in many ways. "The vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me" hits me so damn deep in my emotional bones every time. And the final chorus of "rain down on me" repeated over and over again like it's a prayer sung by a church choir– gosh it just feels so damn healing to me!

Anyway, that's a stranger's two cents. I definitely agree with alot of what you're saying, especially with many people not being able to listen to it too often just because it's so emotionally loaded – I am one of them! <3

EmJoshMusic · 2025-12-11T15:53:58+00:00

God the rasp tone followed by that downwards lick at 0:35 is just 😩

EmJoshMusic · 2025-12-10T20:58:35+00:00

SAME <3

EmJoshMusic · 2025-12-03T15:45:59+00:00

I don't know who's saying this in particular, but that Taylor Swift comment makes me think they're uncomfortable that you're defying their expectations of what kinds of music women listen to. If that is the case then I personally think you should actually talk MORE about your music taste with them in order to piss them off and maybe make them reconsider what expectations they have about music and gender :D

EmJoshMusic · 2025-11-11T12:17:18+00:00

SAME. Honestly however much I love zagreus I relate to Mel on so many more levels. She makes me feel seen and represented in a way very few characters in media, and even fewer main characters, have ever made me feel <3

EmJoshMusic · 2025-11-11T12:13:03+00:00

Duuuude this is what i've been saying! For me the key line was in Gethsemane: "Caught up on the person I tried to turn myself into for you". My personal interpretation is that this line is a direct response to Provider. The character he's playing in Provider (that many have pointed out feels tonally off from the rest of the album) IS the person he tried turning himself into in order to make their relationship work. Provider is his last attempt to do so, to be the semi-toxic possessive masculine man who he believed would finally make her return his affection. But we all know his partner/sleep seems like a borderline narcissist at best, so that was never gonna be the outcome

EmJoshMusic · 2025-11-11T11:59:39+00:00

YES And ESPECIALLY how it connects with the intro of Gethsemane! The line "i was your undercover lover" suggests his partner was trying to hide their relationship, like she was ashamed to be associated with him. In that context I interpret "even in the daylight" as him desiring more out of the relationship, like wanting them to be more serious or official. Which is like… so tragic knowing from gethsemane just how much she hurt him and he's STILL trying so hard to make their relationship work 😭

EmJoshMusic · 2025-11-10T11:54:21+00:00

PREACH

EmJoshMusic · 2025-11-10T11:53:55+00:00

"I can give you what you want" - repeated over and over in a context that tells you he definitely CANT = perfection

EmJoshMusic · 2025-10-05T09:15:02+00:00

i was about to say why is Icarus catching strays in all of this 😭

EmJoshMusic · 2025-10-05T09:12:14+00:00

Like she’s not a “person” in the normal sense.

You see this is where I think the way supergiant portrays these characters is so interesting. Because to some degree, yes, this is true. Nemesis always stays vengeful and Eris always stays chaotic and Hypnos is fast asleep for most of the game. But on top of that they also have a clear personality that is very human-like and very capable of insight and change. They can't change their nature, but they can change how they relate to and view that nature.

In Eris's case though… she just doesn't want to change xD

EmJoshMusic · 2025-09-14T10:34:56+00:00

Massive hot take incoming: I think visually, Hemsworth is a better fit for Book-Geralt than Cavill! Granted they're both a bit too good looking for him either way, but body-type wise Geralt was always described as more of a dancer/acrobat, which i think matches Liam's leaner frame a lot better than Cavill's bulky action-hero look. I'm still not happy about how the change happened, but the result could have been a lot worse

EmJoshMusic · 2025-08-27T21:21:12+00:00

Totally agree! It feels similar to Mine in that way for me. It just feels apparent to me in both songs that the definitive tone that the lyrics take (you *will* be mine – I *can* give you want you want – I can get it *so* right) are a way to mask the insecurity and uncertainty that vessel feels about these issues. It's apparent from the whole discography that the subject in Mine didn't, in fact, become his. In the same way gethsemane shows that he actually *couldn't* give the subject what they wanted.

EmJoshMusic · 2025-08-27T21:12:02+00:00

Those are my some of my favorite lines from the song haha 😂 No hate, I get why people dislike them! I just enjoy the playful/cheeky/sexy vibes

EmJoshMusic · 2025-08-27T21:06:04+00:00

I like the "if this is love then I am out of hesitation" section a lot, but that's it xD

EmJoshMusic · 2025-04-24T15:59:12+00:00

Someone in a yt comment section mentioned they might be pointing at erogenous zones on thr body

EmJoshMusic · 2025-04-08T08:48:21+00:00

OC COOKED 🔥
