Character Playlist Meme

Yes. We've had two memes this week. However today is going to be one of those days and I need distractions.

Plus I don't think we've ever done this one before:

Music is an art form which has always inspired creative works. Be it other pieces of music, dance or writing. This meme is a way to let others be inspired by music you associate with either your character or with other people's characters.


How to play -

1. Comment with your character's name and link a song or just a title of a song you associate with your character. Feel free to do more than one if you so wish.
2. Leave a link to a song or a song title that you associate with the other player's characters. Again, feel free to leave more than one if you so wish.

Ideally this will allow us all to built a playlist for our characters that we can enjoy.

Algebra by A Camp. This one is Duke's fault for making me binge Haven.
F*** You by Cee Lo Green. Obvious choice really.

Is it cheating to say 'Take Control' by the Old Gods of Asgard? Because that was written specifically for her and her canon. (Old Gods of Asgard is a pseudonym for Poets of the Fall, who put out another song called My Dark Disquiet last year that has a video that is full of visual references to Control and I love it.)

And continuing my cheating, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention 'Dynamite'...

Atton Rand

[personal profile] suitably_heroic 2020-10-09 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god I've forgotten more songs for Atton than I've ever even come up with for any other character. I even have a Spotify playlist.

The classic Atton Track is all three parts of Metallica's 'Unforgiven', as well as various other Metallica songs.

'Can't Deny My Love' by Brandon Flowers has been his running musical theme this year.

At least, until fairly recently, now that he's being forced to actually reflect on everything what's happened. He's had a 'insert nelly furtado song here' tag for a long time because 'I'm Like A Bird' summed up his response to emotional connections for a long time, but it's 'Try' that's been my go-to Atton song recently for... reasons.

I have way more, but I'll leave it at that for now.

My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light 'Em Up) by Fallout Boy, mostly because of this outstanding fan vid. (That video is NSFW throughout but especially right around the 30 second mark, where there is rear male nudity and implication of a sexual assault.)

Also, Jesus Take the Wheel, not because of the lyrics or anything but because Starlight has big Carrie Underwood vibes when she sings, and that is the Carrie Underwood-est song of all.

So Tom Ellis is an incredibly musical person who does fantastic covers on the show and has a whole curated Lucifer playlist on Spotify. I live in perpetual inadequacy because my musical taste isn't nearly as classy. Which means I'm always flaily about picking out songs for Lucifer, and I'm just going with 'stuff I listen to' here.

I was joking the other day that my entire RP career is me just slowly circling to the most literal possible interpretation of 'Hold On To The World' by Kane, which is written as a dialogue between Lucifer and Gabriel. I may have finally peaked.

'That I Would Be Good', by Alanis Morissette, is on my list, and 'Better Man' by Robbie Williams, and I think this is the first time since Arthur Pendragon I've had a character I could blast 'I Will Not Go Quietly' by the Whitlams for.

Extraordinary Machine is actually one of my absolute favorite songs, and it is an excellent choice for Astrid to the point where I'm a little surprised I never thought of it, but I"ll blame it on the fact that that has been my song for Adah Price for pretty much ever, and therefor my mind probably already considered it claimed.

Duke Crocker

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2020-10-09 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I've already long since established One Particular Harbor for Duke. On the Buffet front, we also have Son of a Son of a Sailor or A Pirate Looks at Forty. I know, I know, Buffet. But I challenge you to find a better artist for a guy who lives on a goddamn boat.

On the "songs I've already established" front, there's also Anna Begins and Round Here by Counting Crows. I decided sometime last year that the whole August and Everything After album was what Duke listened to on repeat as a teenager. (Interspersed with 90s rap, which I don't know enough about to link to.)

And then there's the "this is Duke and Octavia's relationship right now" songs I keep throwing at Corrie, like All My Little Words by Magnetic Fields or Kind of anything by Hozier.

Anyway. I could go on for days. Spotify really enjoys throwing weirdly appropriate songs at me (or my brain just connects literally everything I listen to to whatever I'm obsessing about at the moment, that's also super likely).

Ha! No, it doesn't sound off, though I've stopped putting that song on playlists because, uh.

It mayyyy be a common denominator between many of my characters and I don't want my brain to get muddled.

Hilariously, it's canonically a Mitchell song on Being Human, and Corrie and I originally started hanging out because Mitchell and Kate bonded...

This is going to be all cheating, but Night in the Woods has a fantastic soundtrack that . . . I'm a little conflicted about enjoying so much since it was apparently composed by a monster. BUT STILL.

Anyway. Weird Autumn and Die Anywhere Else are both from the soundtrack. And Ghosts, Everything Changes, and Crimes! were written by fans. I really don't have to try to find Mae music. *g*

Illyana Rasputin

[personal profile] gospel_of_oblivion 2020-10-09 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Am currently at work and can't really write up meta or link videos, so please enjoy my entire Spotify playlist for Illyana in the meantime.

EDIT: Okay, let's do some particulars.

This Girl is Taking Bets, Thea Gilmore.

Pretty much required for the playlist of almost every female character I play. All of them are a little broken in some way.

Invisible Chains, Lauren Jauregui.

In the end, Illyana saved herself from Belasco. In the end, no matter how he tried to smother her light, she broke free.

Arsonist's Lullabye, Hozier.
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
Always keep them on a leash

Like it or not, Illyana is the Queen of Limbo and its reigning Sorcerer Supreme. She's reaching for something more, something better, but she's always going to need to keep her demonic subjects (and herself) on a leash. Even if she's fonder of letting the little imps (and Darkchilde) out to play than she cares to admit...

Dance in Dark, Au/Ra.

She's still a teenager, though.

In the Shadows, Amy Stroup.
What happens in the shadows
No one has to know
The truth is in the gallows
It'll burn but won't let go

'Yana's still more comfortable with the shadows, emotionally, morally, and physically. There are dark and dangerous hallways in her heart, locked doors full of terrible things in her mind, and sometimes she likes to linger there.

Charlie #3 & Keep the Light On, The Whitlams.

Illyana's seen too many of her friends and family die. Sometimes heroes go out and don't come back. So she'll be the light of Earth's magic as its eventual Sorcerer Supreme, to always try and help them find their way back to her.

Raise Hell, Dorothy.

That doesn't mean she's nice. Bitches get shit done. You might want to get out of her way.

This is Me," The Greatest Showman.

Look, I hate this movie. It's revisionist history cleansing of a person's life at its most pop culture a la Hamilton, but hot damn, this song.

'Yana will find a way to balance her light and dark, damn it all, and you will accept her for who she is. There's nothing more she hates than trying to pretend she's something she's not.

I mostly have a vibe I go for with what I'm writing. And also what will keep me from murdering a coworker sometimes.

For Danny, I guess... You Worry Me by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and The Anchor by Bastille the though latter is more shippy.

Am I gonna copypasta this from the last time we did a similar meme? Absolutely, because Johnny's an unchanging trash fire.

New Coat of Paint -- Tom Waits, John, and women in his life.
God's Away on Business -- Tom Waits. It's a job.
Henry Rollins. Just pick a song. Any song.
London Calling -- The Clash. John's relationship status with his city would be "It's Complicated." But he always comes back to London in the end.
There is a Light That Never Goes Out -- The Smiths.
God's Gonna Cut You Down -- Johnny Cash. Because we all sell our souls sooner or later, sunshine.
Anarchy in the UK -- Sex Pisols
