After I finally got the idea for the theme of the album, I came up with as many song concepts as I could and wrote them down. This one was written down as “ruit bully suvi song”. If you couldn’t realize from the concept name, and the actual title of the song, this one is for when Prince Ruit used to tease and mess with Prince Suvillan.
This was actually one of the last few songs I made for the album, because I wasn’t getting any good ideas for how I wanted to do it. Initially I was considering doing something like “School” from Deltarune, but I just didn’t I guess, haha. Eventually, I finally sat down (because it was the only song left lol) and started off with the old reliable “silly Vegitales like low womp womps”, what does that mean? Well, if you’ve ever heard the Vegitales intro, and then you listen to the beginning of “His Torment”, I think you’ll understand what I mean.
After I did that, it hit me, I could make this the stupidest thing ever and it would be amazing, so I made some of the notes off a bit, added wrong notes, trumpet, and the real kicker, Ukulele and claps. It’s the best thing ever, I swear to god. However, I’m sure you’ve noticed how halfway through, the song gets more serious. In the intro half I imagined it like this: different scenes where Ruit is bullying Suvillan, he like pokes and prods him, maybe he scares him once, and all while this is happening Lune is the one clapping lol (deadpan, of course). At 0:39 it shifts to where all of these memories are floating around Suvillan’s head, until it reaches the climax, where it swells up to lead into...
