the ghost of dolts, music rant about ghost of you and nuts and dolts

just to preface this its gonna be super v8/v9 spoiler heavy

OK id also like to say this blog post is incredibly inspired by raines post!! ive like had this correlation in my head for a bit but im gonna follow its format since i think it did it p well 

ok onto actual thingy magigy now sorry


!!just to be clear this is about ghost of you by my chemical romance!!!

overall this song kinda feels post penny death/v8, specifically from rubys perspective. it mimics how penny seems to unwillingly haunt ruby thoughout the season, which im gonna dive into more when i go like kinda line-by-line...which is likeeeeeeee rn


"I never/Said I'd lie and wait forever/If I died/We'd be together/I can't always just forget her/But she could try"

this part just generally relates to what i said earlier, how penny haunts ruby. ruby is so distraught just hearing of pennys death she faints, she summons a storm seeing her old, now obsolete weapon, and is brought to the brink of tears seeing neos illusion of her. 

"You are never coming home, never coming home/Could I? Should I?/And all the things that you never ever told me/And all the smiles that are ever, ever..."

ruby cant accept that penny is gone, and that if and when they make it out, she wont be on the other side. its clear pennys life was far from over when she was killed, i mean she had essentially kind of been  reborn and that was all taken from her a few minutes later. 

"Ever get the feeling that you're never all alone?/And I remember now/At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies/She dies"

this part makes me specifically think of ruby trying to keep herself stable during the tea party but then being absolutely destroyed by having to see penny. not just see her but having penny very directly detail how she died and being told how much she mattered, and how much ruby disappointed her.

"If I fall/If I fall/(Down)"
