Song #196
Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie
It was released in 1980 in his album Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)
Fun fact: the lyrics act as a sequel to Bowie's hit "Space Oddity" which ends with Major Tom alone floating out in space. Eleven years after liftoff, Ground Control receives a message from Major Tom, who has succumbed to drug addiction and increased paranoia following his abandonment to space: "Strung out in heaven's high / hitting an all-time low."

Ashes To Ashes (Loki x Reader)
Warnings: Violence, Murder, Loki
Synopsis:
When Loki finds you, you’re a flightless bird. The God of Mischief sets you free and encourages you to spread your wings. As he reminds you, he is also the God of Chaos and when a creature of fire and legend collides with a Prince of Magic and Frost, chaos is exactly what happens.
A/N - This may possibly be my next series, status is pending. If not, it kind of makes a cool, vaugeish one-shot.
Jagged screams of frustration and sharp, piercing cries of rage were held prisoner by your cracked lips. Never let them see you bleed, never let them see your fear. Never, ever, let them know your weakness.
The cold metal bit into your skin, chaffing and burning at the tender flesh. Someone had put the heavy, power dampening cuffs on too tight, maybe by accident but more likely a petty show of power. You were defeated, a prisoner of Shield or the UN or whoever the hell was running the show these days.
Your cold gaze had slid over the tired agents, standing tall and proud as they watched you be led away. They could tell themselves they were good, but you saw the smugness in their eyes. They were proud of what they had done today. They had fought you, hit you, shot you, and not once had they asked who you were or why you were doing this. They didn’t need to ask anything, in their head you were already the villain and they didn’t want to think otherwise.

Just in case I actually freeze to death, here's my last will and testament:
Leave me for the cats to feast on. They're always fucking hungry anyways. Might as well become a tv dinner.
I love David Bowie soo much, and this is by far one of my favorite songs. I also adore Starman, Life On Mars, Changes, Station to Station, Ziggy Stardust, Space Oddity, and Oh! You Pretty Things.

Its very interesting the rules that bbh set for coming back to life (attachment to the human world and how long they were dead)
Because with this rules abueloier would probably be fine (he died very recently and he seemed very attached to his life)
But, say, what of someone saw the example of abueloier coming back to life and saw that he was fine and thought "well if it works for them it might work for me" and tried to bring an egg back
BUT the egg might have already been dead for a long time and maybe they didnt have the best life so instead of bringing them back they bring only part of it or something else....
But a parent thats desperate enough.....
Burn the old ... let in the new ... ciaociao 2020
I already said it in another post, but I really like Hadès/Emet-selch and Venat/Hydealin. They both made choices and they lived by it. They didn’t excuse their own behaviors, or try to unmake what they did. They choose a path, and walked it to the bitter end. They are well written, and they are logical and coherent in their being, even if I disagree with their beliefs or morals. (But not Hermès. Fuck Hermès)
Again, I’m more aligned to Hydealin. An immortal race wouldn’t have been able to fight Météion. Their lifespans is too great, they change and learn too slowly. For immortals, especially immortals who lived in paradise, with little strife or hardships, the loss of one life is a great tragedy, one they should try to prevent, or even retrieve. For a mortal, it’s fact of life. You can only live and go on. It’s partly why I believe ascians didn’t and couldn’t deal well with the loss of their world or lifes, and why a plan as stupid than Zodiark was hatched. (People, you guys would have destroyed yourselves with accelerated entropy, Météion would just have to swoop in when you bled yourself dry)
I also grew up on cautionary tales about immortality and unchanging. May you be eternal” is a curse for a reason, and only the fools believe it’s a blessing. Hadès is a prime example of it. Also, cycles are important. Everything run on them, and everything that rise will fall. We’re not better or worse, just different and suited to their environnement. I feel like for all the ascians preached about the natural cycle of Eitherys, they believed themselves above it. Which... is foolish. It’s the pistachio loukoum story. We walk on the bones and ruins of those that came before, as those that came after will on our.
Anyways, sorry for the disjointed ranting here. May have gone away from original topic.
If your friend who would have lived 100 years got divided into thirteen parrots who would only live 3 years, and you knew that by killing those parrots, you'd get your friend back, would you kill the parrots?
Or does the fact that the parrots, though their abilities cannot be compared to your own, are able to speak and reason and love in their own way mean they deserve to have their own lives, and you need to accept your friend is dead?
Your best friend? Your child? Your lover?
The friend who asked you to save them, before they vanished?
Your entire community? Your whole family?? What if there were only three humans left alive in the whole world, and you'd promised the rest that you would find a way to rescue them?
To me it's perhaps MORE impressive that Emet Selch and Elidibus ultimately side with the parrots.
