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.

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

Marcus Wright?

[grantuseyes]

sorry deleted other comment cuz I swore too much!

can u give me more details on ur guy so i can know where to look?

[anewhero]

Marcus was a punk in his natural life. He walked a disreputable path full of misdeeds and crime throughout his adolescence and young adult life. Despite this, he had an unusual respect for human life and a strong sense of justice: after the deaths that occurred at his hands, he sincerely believed his sentencing – death by lethal injection – was exactly what he deserved. He had no final words before his sentence was carried out.

Even now, he has a hard time believing he deserves to live again. It is a question that haunts him, and there are times where his hatred for himself and what he has done interfere with the scant relationships he has with humans.

Marcus is headstrong, determined and occasionally hotheaded. He executes his decisions with clear intention, even more so now that he has been integrated with cybernetics. Once he has decided he is going to do something, he will not stop until he succeeds, and it is advised to stay out of his way. He does not take obstacles lightly.

He only allows himself to get close to a select few. Once he does, he becomes fiercely defensive of them… and will do anything to protect them. He is loyal almost to a fault, and as a result is deeply affected by betrayal.

His anger can get the better of him at times. Fights with Marcus can take a grim turn: they are not over until his opponent is dead. This “termination objective” is a trait found in the Terminators, but since Marcus removed his CPU, it isn’t determinable whether this is due to his cybernetic interface or really just part of who he is. The only apparent way to stop him is a friend’s voice of reason.

He can be easily broken down by his own condition. Anything that reminds him of his brother is liable to either anger him or deeply depress him; his guilt over this incident has never fully left him, even after death. This guilt may also influence Marcus’s apparent desire to do good. Everything he does is done with the best of intentions.

Perhaps his criminal past is what influences him, but it is clear that Marcus intends to use the second chance he has been given to do things right.

May I have a song for this girl, please?

[back_in_business]

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

[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

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

Bullets by Archive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzTLNXfTquA

Come touch me like I’m an ordinary man,
have a look in my eyes,
underneath my skin there is a violence,
it's got a gun in it's hand,

ready to make
ready to make, read-
ready to make sense of anyone, anything
anyone, anything
anyone, anything
anyone, anything
anyone, anything

Confine me let me be the lesser of a beautiful man,
without the blood on his hands,
come and make me a martyr come and break my feeling,
with your violence with the gun on my head,

ready to take,
ready to take,
ready to take,
ready to take out anyone, anywhere.

[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

[sumarusfinest]

Oh wow that is like the perfect pick :o

[sumarusfinest]

NGL I totally imagine his 'Can you apply the penal code to demons?' line in time with the chorus 'can you take a step back' forever now.

[sumarusfinest]

I am floored by how perfect this is o_o

[bornstrong]

YES.

Uh, Iphigenia, please. :3

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

[chiron_survivor]

This song is beautiful! It has such a sweet, melancholy feeling to it. I'll have to give the rest of the album a listen sometime.

[chiron_survivor]

WOW.

You weren't exaggerating, you have a real gift for picking out appropriate songs. I'm adding this to Adia's playlist.

[grantuseyes]

The second I remembered her issues with the cylon ex was when it clicked. Glad you liked it! I love doing this thing. (Sober or otherwise.)

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
