Description
Now I know we said things, did things that we didn't meanAnd we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
But your temper's just as bad as mine is, you're the same as me
But when it comes to love, you're just as blinded, baby please
Come back, it wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much to walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed, I'll aim my fist at the dry wall
Next time; there will be no next time!
I apologize, even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games, I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire
So, I've had quite a few people in my time asking how I can possibly interpret love in the Hojo/Lu relationship.
And this song is a godsend - I never have to write a huge paragraph again.
Of course Love the way you lie by Eminem doesn't exactly portray my interpretation of Hojo/Lu - eg, I don't think physical violence was ever a (huge) part of the picture - but the sentiment of destructive love is very nicely captured by these lyrics. And not just that - I do believe the destruction went both ways. Lucrecia was just as crazy in this pairing as Hojo. :>
Will scrap when club-subbed! This is a very untidy sketch indeed, but when a friend showed me this song just now I nearly flipped with happiness and had to do something about it. ^^

I know that in the game it shows her picking Hojo over Vincent, and Vincent says something to the effect of "If she's happy, then I'm fine."
Which means she was actually happy with Hojo at some point.
I always wondered why he became so spiteful to her. Though, I think her end of the stress was her not being able to see her son. And Hojo's was the entire deal with Vincent.

Vincent wasn't very good at knowing when a woman's happy, haha.

I actually am going to write a scene in lieu of this picture, and plan to send it to you. I will also type up why there is SO MUCH head cannon in that story.....so that it's not you that adds to the list of people calling me a fantard. So. Nice work

I so believe in this interpretation, such a pairing just had to be doomed from the start and I really like the way you portrayed them here^^

Do people ever portray scientists as sane? xD More like are they ever sane to begin with?
Great song, great picture. You're definitely right about their relationship. It had to be destructive.

I really love this song, and I really love this, though I share your opinion on physical violence not being part of it, but yeah. XD
And really, people can't interpret love between Hojo and Lucrecia?
Did Dirge really stamp out that vagurery?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Generally people don't want to sympathise, I think. 
Though, I like to say, Hojo is obviously not a person who spends a lot of energy doing something pointless. And he spent an awful lot of energy torturing Lucrecia. So if you look at it that way, and start wondering why, it's actually quite fascinating.
Ala this song. I'm so happy for it, even though it tells a very unhappy story!

I need to bite the bullet and just watch the frikkin cutscenes. On youtube. In japanese. Drunk. ::sulks:: X3
I really do love this song, though. That whole album by Eminem is strong. It's the first time I've ever actually gone out and bought a CD in a long time. Eminem is generally full of rap pitfalls (lots of cussing and talking about bitches and cars), though. Thank you for getting it stuck in my head. XD

You haven't seen the cutscenes? Oh dear. They are like 18 gauge needles stabbing your eyes and temples initially, but eventually your nociceptors die off and the pain becomes numb. Promise.
I don't know anything about rap, but the odd Eminem song that I hear is always quite striking. ^^ The ones that get famous at least doesn't spend that much time talking about cars and bitches, I thought, which is good, hahaha!

XDDD I'll keep this in mind when I do. XD I might have to do all this drunk. I think I can capslock at my husbando, buuuut do you have MSN or some similar messenger service I can connect to via Trillian with? :3c
Yeah, the ones that are really worth it tend to be a little on the less cars and bitches and more emotionally awesome. My personal faves off the album are You're Never Over and Not Afraid , which ring kinda Stripesish for both of them. :3

CHAT TO ME ON AIM. AIIIIIM DOOOO EEEEEET. DOWNLOAD AIM AND ADD MEEEEEE my username is Helletic. 8D Trillian connects - I know it does because I used to have Trillian before it made my computer sluggish.
EK-san, I've known you for... how many years now? I can't remember when I first overcame my fannish embarrassment to approach you, lol! xD And in all this time have we ever chatted real-time? HAVE WE? ....honestly I can't remember but YES FIND ME ON AIM AND FUN TIMES SHALL BE HAD. 8D
