Gee, Kiryu ! How come SEGA lets you have TWO boyfriends ?! Commission for @itsybitsylemonsqueezyΒ
I COMMISSIONED A THING FOR MY RAREPAIR OT3 BECAUSE IT MAKES ME HAPPY AND IT DOES!
Okay, Iβve been putting it off, but itβs finally here. My KazuMaji playlist, which I have titled βMad Dragonβ because I think thatβs a much cooler ship name : | This is informed mainly by whatever Iβve heard lately on FM radio and Iβll probably add to this as I go, but this hit my metric for being complete enough to post ^^;
Mad Dragon Playlist via youtube (I can also probably put this together via spotify if needed)Β
βVan Hornβ - Saint MotelΒ
Well, tell me do you me hate me? Or do you wanna date me? Itβs kinda hard to tell βcause your eyes are looking crazy So why you coming over? Anything but sober? Looking like itβs time tonight For fight or flight in Van Horn
I thought this would nicely start us off at the beginning of Kiwami 1. Like, look at those words and tell me you donβt INSTANTLY think of Kiryu. I sure as fuck did when I heard this song for the first time. This is defs Kiryuβs first impression of Majima and not knowing what in fuckβs name just happened. The eternalΒ βAre we supposed to be fighting or fucking right now?β
βTake Me Home Tonightβ - Eddie MoneyΒ
Take me home tonight I donβt wanna let you go 'til you see the light Take me home tonight Listen, honey, just like Ronnie sang, Be my little baby!
Ah, and with that, we enter what I like to call the Horny section. And nothing more appropriate than an egregiously horny 80s ballad. Really sets the scene I think. And an excellent counterpoint toΒ βVan Hornβsβ confusion is the absolute certainty of Majimaβs first impression here. His entire goal since meeting Kiryu is, wellβ¦ to make him take him home ^^; Letβs be real. Absolutely no confusion about what he wants out of this. Horny, but also very sweet, just like our boy β€
βFaithβ - George MichaelΒ
Well, I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body I know not everybody has got a body like you But I gotta think twice before I give my heart away And I know all the games you play because I played them, too
I would be truly remiss to write a queer playlist from the 80s without doing credit to our king, George Michael. So, continuing the Horny theme, but also, as you all might recall, the leaping directly into Kiryuβs lap gambit didnβt quite work out. And this is about that nervousness, that hesitation. And if Kiryuβs not going to put out, so to speak, then Majimaβs better off holding back a bit. This is a reaction to Kiryuβs, well, rejection would be a strong word, but at least lack of reciprocation. Majima still wants him, clearly, but heβs reconsidering his strategy. Perhaps an early Kiwami 2 vibe.Β
βIt Will Come Backβ - HozierΒ
I know who I am when Iβm alone! Something else when I see you, You donβt understand, you should never know, How easy you are to needβ¦
Donβt let me in with with no intention to keep me! Jesus Christ! Donβt be kind to me! Honey, donβt feed me, I will come back
And so ends our Horny arc. The longingΒ of this, the pining. As much as Majima knows he shouldnβt, Kiryuβs soβ¦ nice. Heβs sweet, heβs tender. Heβs so unbearablyΒ easy to fall for. Heβs such a fuckingΒ good guy, itβs justβ¦ His helpless desire to be a part of that. Mmmm. This is a motif that stretches the whole of their relationship, but is certainly pronounced in 2 and 3. Hell, thereβs even howlingΒ for fuckβs sake.Β
βDragging Me Downβ - Travis Love Benson & Yo! The MoonΒ
Oh, this feels like a misstep, oh what a mistake! But Iβve fallen in with feelings that I cannot shake, The darkness that pulls me is dragging me down! And I think that I might be willing to drown
Ah, that inevitable horror. Youβve tried to resist, youβve tried talking yourself down, youβve spent time away andβ¦ yep, no, youβre good and in love. Youβre fucked. This is a special kind of feeling, after the resistance, after the pining, the terrible realization that youβd give your life for this and thereβs absolutely nothing you can do. Arguably, Majimaβs felt like this the whole time as heβs always been afraid of what being in love with Kiryu will mean. But this is ESPECIALLY a game 4 feel. When thereβs absolutely nothing youβre getting out of this, less than nothing, but you just canβt break with the feelings. Youβre gonna die like this and tehreβs nothing you can do about it. Kiryu spends a bigger portion of his life than he would like to admit fighting against realizing this.
βRunning Up That Hillβ - Meg MyersΒ
It doesnβt hurt me, Do you want to feel how it feels? Do you want to know? Know that it doesnβt hurt me Do you want to hear about the deal that Iβm making? You, itβs you and me
What comes after the terrible realization that youβll die like this? The dedication. The resignation. If youβre gonna die like this, may as well make it worth something. BIG game 4 energy here. You may as well be playing this over the arrest scene.Β βRunning Up That Hillβ is a classic for any love story where some dumbfuck is stupid enough to be self-sacrificing and oh, look at that, we have two of them.Β βRunning Up That Hillβ is so gutting though because it doesnβt assume a happy ending. It assumes that if the trade works, this still all ends in tragedy. But itβll be worth it. Make that big Game 5 energy as well.
βKing and Lionheartβ - Of Monsters and MenΒ
Howling ghost they reappear In mountains that are stacked with fear But youβre a king and Iβm a lion-heart
And in the sea thatβs painted black Creatures lurk below the deck But youβre a king and Iβm a lion-heart
And as the world comes to an end Iβll be here to hold your hand 'Cause youβre my king and Iβm your lion-heartΒ
Another absolute classic. I think itβs illegal anymore to make a shipping playlist withoutΒ βKing and Lionheart.β I certainly have more ships than I can shake a stick at that fit this song. But itβs a classic for a reason. This takes all the dedication we developed inΒ βRunning Up That Hillβ and argues that it doesnβt have to be tragedy. See, the problem with the previous is the sacrifice is one-sided and unacknowledged.Β βKing and Lionheartβ says what if we both knew? What if you let me do this for you? What if these were our roles and we were happy? It doesnβt all have to end in tragedy if we justβ¦ know. And thatβs the real dream isnβt it? Be my king, let me be your lionheart. *stares helplessly at Kiryu Should Have Been Chairman AU*
βI Want You to Want Meβ - Letters to CleoΒ
Didnβt I, didnβt I, didnβt I see you crying? Didnβt I, didnβt I, didnβt I see you crying?!Β Β Feeling all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dying! Didnβt I, didnβt I, didnβt I see you crying?Β
It was hard for me to decide where to put this, but I do feel it belongs on this list.Β βI Want You to Want Meβ on surface level expresses a fairly typical expression of infatuated puppy love. But itβs the above, this part, that really strikes me. Because that isnβt just the adoring desperation of courtship. Didnβt I see you crying, didnβt I see you vulnerable, didnβt I see you broken, and didnβt I love you anyway? Didnβt I see you crying and didnβt it doΒ something to me to see you like that? That isnβt just blind desire. Iβm still not sure where this should go and I may find a better spot for it eventually, but this is about the fact that they get each otherβs broken pieces. That thereβs some deep, vulnerable shit to work through andβ¦ seeing it and still wanting to be a part of things, fuck, even still feeling that blind puppy love isβ¦ really something. This is certainly part of Kiryuβs love language. He never sees ugliness in people and he has a profound propensity to take care of others. This is a thing he wants to say.
βI Still Ainβt Over Youβ - AugustanaΒ
Hey, Iβm the blood in your veins, Iβm the cold when it rains, And Iβm your heart when it breaks- Time, no it ainβt on our side, Iβm the truth to your lies, And Iβm your tear, when you cry
This is a different kind of pining. This is that post-break up pining, the know-I-should-get-over-it pining. Itβs not the pining you get when your courting. Itβs not even the resigned to rejection pining. Itβs that important part of getting over a break up where youβre still dealing with what it was you had or wanted and canβt let go of yet. Big Game 3 energy, but also Game 6. Because this also has a little hope for what still might be. Thereβs longing for what was, but also the possibility of the future. Thatβs whatβs so confusing about it. Not knowing how to let go or what to let go of. I also just really like this song and Iβm also just physically incapable of not putting Augustana in my playlists. You can really tell me generation there.Β
βWith or Without Youβ - U2
And you give yourself away, and you give yourself away! And you give! And you give! And you give yourself away! With or without you! With or without you, I canβt liveβ¦ with or without youβ¦
To be honest, this song basically makes no damn sense. Because itβs not asking for anything, likeβ¦ it has no solution. But it perfectly encapsulates the heartbreak of being in love with something that can never happen. Game 5/Game 6 energy if I ever saw it. Justβ¦ the rawnessβ¦ the desperation. Itβs a classic for a reason.
βNeeding/Gettingβ - Ok GOΒ
So I been sitting around, wasting my time, Wondering what you been doing. Aw, and it ainβt real forgiving, it ainβt real forgiving, Sitting here picturing someone else living. And I, yeah I still need you, But what goodβs that gonna do? Needing is one thing, and getting, Gettingβs another.
So weβve had the break up. Weβve had the heartbreaking realization that what we wanted can never happen. And nowβ¦ weβre finally coming to terms with that a little bit. Finally going, yβknow what? I may never be over this, but I should probably try to move on with my life anyway.Β βNeeding/Gettingβ is at least admitting that this is a losing proposition. We may not be all the way to healing and, heaven forbid, getting over it. But weβve gotten as far asβ¦ this is pretty dumb.
βMy Loveβ - Sia
My love, leave yourself behind Beat inside me, leave you blind My love, look what you can do I am mending, Iβll be with you
Soβ¦ after you realize that this isnβt going to get any better and, maybe, you donβt like being heartbroken all the timeβ¦ sometimes you try to let things go. Big Game 6 energy. Thereβs a lot to love, thereβs a lot to appreciate. And letting go doesnβt mean letting it all go, it doesnβt mean forgetting or regretting. But it can meanβ¦ moving on. Taking all you loved and learned with you, but moving on. To not give up on yourself, to keep doing what you promised youβd do, sometimes you gotta. Thereβs a lot of endings in Yakuza and a lot we may have to accept.Β βMy Loveβ is about honoring that and keeping that love strong.
βSomewhere OnlyΒ We Knowβ - Lily Allen
And if you have a minute, why donβt we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why donβt we go? So why donβt we go?
But, then again, who says we canβt try again? After weβve accepted our loss, our endings, who says we canβt be close to the people we love when we still love them? This is how I tend to favor post-5 and even post-6 thoughts. Why canβt we just have nice things? I meanβ¦ jeez, cβmon. Please. I like to think that after all the pining and regret, we could still come to terms. We could realize how silly weβre being and justβ¦ itβs as easy as just asking for a little time.Β
Just let them have a moment of peace.Β
Heyo! Can we have the nsfw hc's for Daigo's bfs? :3β¬ thank you in advance!!
