feeling so alive in this hopeless dream
Harry Goodsir / Lady Silence (Silna) Playlist
Series: The Terror (season 1)
Prompt / Trope: Unrequited Love / Pining
Collection: Trope Bingo Round 14
Medium: Fanmix + Cover Art
My Card
Notes: I chose this pairing for the unrequited love / pining prompt because I fell so unexpectedly in love with them after watching the series recently, especially after the second viewing. These two struck up an unlikely friendship despite their tragic circumstances as man, creature and nature threatened to tear them apart, but they remained steadfast in their loyalty to each other even when they were doomed never to share words or gazes again.
There's no definitive proof that Goodsir and Lady Silence were in love; then again, does there need to be? It's easy to assume that Goodsir likely pined after Silna after their parting, his dedication toward her is one of the more heartwarming pinpoints of light in this show, and it's almost just as easy to assume that Silna reciprocated his feelings, given her state when she was reunited with Goodsir for the final time. These two for me are the epitome of unrequited: they were never given the time required to explore or act on their feelings, but it does not make those feelings any less real or poignant.
For this playlist, I tried to blend a mix of bleak and hopeful songs. Most of them, for me, are from Goodsir's point of view.
The music is a mix of metal and rock, the former symbolizing the bitter hopelessness of their situation, especially Goodsir's,
and the latter highlighting the fleeting, quiet moments between them, sweet and caring and brave, much like Goodsir himself.
