MATCHING CHARACTERS TO SONGS: I DO THAT

[grantuseyes]

Hey kids, let's play a game where you post with your character(s) and you give me some basic ideas of their key attributes, narrative theme, personality/physical traits, species, etc. And I will FOR SURE link you to a song that matches your dude

I am super good at this.

Feel free to throw out song ideas of your own at others!

BONUS ROUND: if you post now you will catch me while i am fucking ripped on kief and my powers are manifested a 1000 fold

I'm sober now.

Also, swapping spotify accounts should happen too

Valley of Death by Blitzen Trapper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p6J_2oy1RQ

I know what it means to get knocked down drunk,
I was lying in a bush by the coal,
where the river runs deep
& the demons don't sleep
& the water's obscured by the smoke.

Well I drug myself to the river's edge
& I drank like a dog on the sand.
It burned my tongue,
my whole head gets spun
& I stood on the stone
& spoke to the wind and the rain.

Said I know what it means to get left for dead,
when the saints rise up at the sound.
When the spirits don't move in
their chains and the shoes
and the crack of the guns all around.

I'm pretty curious. I will probably slowly ask about everyone but for now, what's up for Katsuya?

Arsonists Lullaby by Hozier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi_cBEHizxI

When I was a man I thought it ended
When I knew love's perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my wake

All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash

May I have a song for this girl, please?

[sumarusfinest]

I rarely have any ideas for this but for some reason I always think of Carbon Leaf's Indian Summer album when I think of Adia. Especially The Sea

Space Girl by The Imagined Village https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POTxYGpDsXo

My mama told me I should never venture into space
But I did, I did, I did
She said no terran girl could trust the martian race
But I did, I did, I did

A rocket pilot asked me on a voyage to go
And I was so romantic, and I couldn't say no
That he was just a servo robot how was I to know?
So I did, I did, I did

[back_in_business]

And also one for this beautiful, thunderstorm-lookin' son of a bitch. :)

What You Need by Galactic ft Lyrics Born https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcbIBnPrOTA

No hassle, man. No haggle. Come on!
Ain’t nothin’ too shameful
This is my corner, baby
Ain’t no price painful, they ain’t no exchange though
But I will take your dollars, pennies, pounds and pesos

You want it baby, I got it
You need it baby, come get it
You want it baby, I got whatcha need, whatcha need, whatcha need, whatcha
Need

[drehnifusbahi]

You know this doofus already, but I'll give you a couple shiny new keywords now that he's faced miraak and accidentally his soul to yet another daedric prince:

-victory, but at what cost?
-the fettered (warning, tvtropes link)
-he who fights monsters

[grantuseyes]

Hey, did you know that the guy who plays the King in that Muskateers show is the voice actor of Micolash? Cool, right?

It's instrumental, so I apologize if it seems a cop-out, but I strongly relate Vanyel to Infinite Legends by Two Steps from Hell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuoZeie2Czk

[bornstrong]

YES.

Uh, Iphigenia, please. :3

Doubt by Amanda Mair https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y89t-NdyXV4

I run from the people I love
I will always stay true to my heart
Too far from their misery war
I was left here all by myself

I'm so tied to the colour of fear
Will I ever be released?
It all aches, it's a problem at stake
Carrying me through the fear

And I'm here with the word
I will always stay true to my doubts
I wanna become what people become
But I know I'll stay here

I wanna become what I'll never become
But I know I'll stay here

For Fortyskey: I'm Not Done by Fever Ray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoKkncKvNo0

Some do magic
Some do harm
I'm holding on, holding on
I'm holding on to a straw
[...]
One thing I know for certain
Oh I'm pretty sure
It ain't over
I'm not done

Can you tell me a bit more about Delia and Dia? Anything themes that are distinctly THEM?

DON'T SHOOT

Not So Strong by James https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pvzt2fdc9k

Now I'm lost in a fight
Where I know I'll get ploughed
Finessing my jaw to his right
It's not the defeat
That shows up the weak
It's how you respond
When you're down

I am vulnerable
I am insecure
And behind that lies one more illusion
I'm invincible
Indestructible
And behind that lies one more illusion

I'm not so strong
I'm not so strong as I look

I Can't Decide by Scissor Sisters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05M46Wv0K80

I've got to hand it to you
You've played by all the same rules
It takes the truth to fool me
And now you've made me angry

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

[kohtoya]

I will try it (-._.)-

-A wrinkly old mole man
-Space Buddhist
-lawful good
-Everyone's dad. Weak to babies.
-Diplomacy, patience, subtlety, and doing your duty/completing the mission no matter how painful that might be.
-The Right Thing(tm) is usually hard. Do it anyway.

You'll Be Bright by Cloud Cult https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCg8DsJv-t4

All the things you'll love,
All the things that may hurt you,
All the things you shouldn't do,
And all the things you want to.
They're calling your name...travel safely.
[...]
What comes will come.
What goes will go.
The wind will blow where the wind is blowing.
Let go of where you think you're going.
We'll never know why it flows where it's flowing.

We've always been what we will always be.
I'm so convinced we have to get there, we can part the sea.
So bring the dead to life, turn your blood to wine.
All your life you have waited for this moment to arrive.

And you'll be bright.

I couldn't not post here. You know V (Micolash before he found the bad ending).

YOU'RE IN LUCK

I'M HIGH AGAIN

and banessa helped me screen my viatorus ideas because i had at least two bad ones in me; my soundtrack perfection is a sham

but i found a real good one in the end because it is about being the weird kid in an otherwise remarkable family + remembering to love and forgive yourself and let your friends help you

Teleprompters by The Uncluded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meYMsri6VIU

Ever since I was a kid
On the backs of my two eyelids
I hid two Teleprompters there
Transmitting words from who knows where
And this is why when I’m on stage
My eyes are closed I’m in a haze
I look like I’m made out of clay
I’m overwhelmed and under-glazed
I’m making vases out of snakes
I’m a kiln half-full of mistakes
When kneading it, air’s overlooked
It’s gonna crack when it gets cooked
So self-forgiveness is the key
To re-sculpting my sanity
Mindfulness, humility
And taking time to care for me
I preach self-love I know it’s true
It’s easier to say than do
I sing these messages to you
But now I need to hear them too
I am beautiful
I am powerful
I am strong
and I am loveable
[...]
And now I’m signing up for finger-drawing class in a tux like a gentleman
Marrying his ash to his dust
Last on the kickball team draft pick-list
First to the King Kullen practicing his kickflips
I’d like to say it’s ‘cause I was a rebel
Truthfully it’s easier to say “oh hell” instead of “hello”
(Hi, you need to get out more)
I dunno, I don’t wanna be there when the geometry domino
(You need to get out more)
Maybe, or maybe his pace is better suited for pacing
(You need to get out more)
Never, I am nailed to the floor-I am snail under pressure
(You need to get out more)
Fine.

Seems like a good time to beg some writing music, SO:

Felix: Mr. Frost spells and sunny smiles, 'I'm friends with everyone', 'intrigues are fun!' himself. Have at. >:3

And since I never do anything nice for Stratos... key attributes:

- duty, piety, protection
- family and Empire before everything
- severe buried anger issues and ongoing plots against the Thalmor
- way more illusions than he wants you to realize
- lightning spells! Who doesn't love those?
