Tove Lo – Habits (Stay High)
–
yukitsukihana pointed out that this was a perfect post-John song for Hakuba… and while I’ve had it in Hakuba’s playlist for a long time, now, I didn’t put that together. Thus, it goes here in his playlist. It’s… pretty accurate to how he’s been “dealing” with life in the last 3+ years.
Video contains some things that are graphic, just fyi.

mamodewberry: Spark of Time by sharlynnshida. A strictly instrumental mix of mystery, tension and intrigue from various anime and such for a detective on the case or a quiet night at home in his thoughts trying to not get murdered. Dedicated to gabapple / whiteknighthakuba the biggest Hakuba fan I’ll ever know. Tracklisting
11: Talk about the best dream you’ve ever had.
Most of my dreams are weird and/or nightmares, but there was this one dream that I had in my junior year of high school where my little brother and I were traveling together covertly to escape from religious persecution (???) and ended up in ancient Jerusalem… at which point, like, I ran into Jesus and he basically told me that I was gonna be okay. Which… is really weird feeling for me to be telling people about but it sure stands out even after all of this time. I guess it was just really nice and comforting.
And I’m serious that most of my dreams are nightmareish. I guess even in that dream, there were people trying to kill us, so… … … yeah. Why am I always being hunted?
36: Talk about your guilty pleasures.
Neon Genesis Evangelion.
…
don’t talk to me.
38: Talk about songs that remind you of certain people.
Everyone’s got a different sort of song-feel to them for me. Sometimes it takes a really long time to pick up on what it is. That said, I don’t really want to name names because I know too many people and their songs. 8) SO INSTEAD I’m going to pick some of my muses and list ONE song that I have on their individual playlists:
Hakuba: J’y Suis Jamais Alle – Yann Tiersen (from Amelie)
Conan/Shinichi: Green and Gray – Nickel Creek
Salmon: Submarine Song – Phantom Planet
Akira: C’mon C’mon – One Direction
Sakura (Jane): Stars Dance – Selena Gomez
.. LOL <3

“….Stay… Stay by my side….
It’s… It’s so warm….
Don’t go… Anywhere….
Just stay…. by my side.”
I COULDN’T HELP MYSELF BUT RECORD THIS PART
He’s sick here but lets just pretend he’s not
Cue a snowy scene during a heist and Hakuba’s chased after KID, both fleeing for their lives from organization assassins… Bullets ripping through Hakuba’s heavy overcoat but he tries to ignore it, just has to help KID escape, get him to the safest route… but he starts stumbling, reaching out and grasping onto KID’s cape before collapsing against the brick wall of that alleyway, ragged breaths panting, gasping, leaving bloodied smears on white silk as he falls to his knees. And KID turning in horror, seeing the spreading carmine over Hakuba’s nice suit, face so pale as he kneels in the snow.
Worried and hushed demands of "hold on, tantei-san,” and “I’ll get help for you,” from KID, but Hakuba isn’t even able to see straight anymore, just feeling the blood pool around his fingers, dripping into the snow at their feet.
KID can’t wait– the crows are still coming… but can he just abandon the dying detective?
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Laura O’Kello who changed Hakuba’s life. Whether or not this is a good thing is still up for debate, but the moment I saw this music video, it was just too perfect not to dedicate it to her.
Ahhhh, Laura. The girl who makes men dance the women’s part in the ballroom, talks her way out of everything, and turned down the detective because he wasn’t rich enough for her to even consider him.
La Dernière Minute
Suppose I’d understood all, lived all here below
Suppose I was so old I wanted no more o’me
When the skin of my life is pathways dug out
by tracks and by grief, by doubts and laughter
At that point I would ask for just one more minute.
When there is nothing more which upsets and which hurts
And when even sorrows seem like a soft caress,
When I can see my death at the foot of my bed
When I see her smiling at my so tiny life
I will tell her “Listen, leave me just one minute
(Just for one more minute. Just for one more minute.)
To smarten myself up or for a cigarette
(Just for one more minute, just for one more minute.)
For one final shiver or for one final act
(Just for one more minute, just for one more minute.)
To sort out my mem’ries before the great winter
(Just one more minute, Quite pointless and aimless)
Since my life is nothing, so I want every bit,
All the lot, all complete, and with all its by-ways,
Since my life is nothing, so I’m asking some back,
I want added for me sixty little seconds as my final minute
The very Last Minute
(Tick tock tick tock tick tock)
This song always makes me think about Hakuba’s gradual descent into madness, particularly where Spider/White Chapel/PTSD/eidetic memory problems are concerned…
You have to wonder just how far he’ll go before he eventually snaps.
…incidentally, it’s the most played song on the NaNo playlist for the novel he was writing, too.
