'Theme' Songs for the Cast of Confused Spirit

Hello! I've already shared our main three's playlists, so might as well share these too lol (all it took was one person saying share and I JUMPED on the opportunity, thank you for enabling me Lucky <3)

All the main cast has a song that I think 'fits' them in some way, with the glamrocks having two-three each. And by fits I mean I heard these songs and was then put in a death grip by my subconscious which told me 'this is their song' and I said 'okey dokey!' Anywho, enjoy!

Parts & Infastructure Team:

Savannah: Humble - Ren

Pete: 1922 - Box the Oxford

Liv: Kilby Girl - The Backseat Lovers

Jesse: Cough Syrup - The Young Giant

Tyler: Slow Ride - Foghat (I can take no credit for this one, beloved ao3 commenter TiredThoughts shared this and they're so right for it)

The Glamrocks (and Monty):

Freddy: Mr Loverman - Ricky Montgomery; Line Without a Hook - Ricky Montgomery

Bonnie: Anna Sun - WALK THE MOON; Faster Car - Loving Caliber; Helpless - The Regrettes

I've Been Dead All Day- Allie

Two moodboards in one night omfg it's gonna rain :0

Well, I've been dead all day

Could you tell? Could you tell?

This is where I leave here and I save myself

5 songs

**Share 5 songs relating to your current WIPs

**If you don't have a wip, you can share what you like about your top 5!

I was tagged by @cymatile thank you so so much!! This was fun!

1. Oublaire- Infinite

"Sky-Blue eyes, taking the world by storm,

searching for something out there for him to call his own,

he's lost in a day dream, fueled by pain,

an unkept promise to his name,

his heart racing in ways he never thought he'd know"

Reese fluff request. I have an entire playlist of just soft songs to inspire me to write fluff lmao. I'm not very good at it- I also have a reese playlist. It's like. 6 songs long

2. Bayside- I've Been Dead All Day

"Well I've been dead all day,

Could you tell?

Could you tell?"

This was the only song I listened to for the first 2 chapters of Asgard's Bard. Now I am very sick of it. But yeah. Reader HAD in fact been dead all day! I thought it was so perfect. I took creating a playlist for that fic really seriously. Like. It's privated because I thought it could spoil the story. Lmao-

And now just reading these lyrics makes me violent.

3. Mother Mother- It's Alright

"I'm not okay,

I got a baseball bat beside my bed,

To fight off what inside my head,

To fight off what's behind my meds,

I'm lonely, lost in pain"

Mother Mother and Penelope Scott are the anthems for this WIP. It's a zombie apocalypse story I started and abandoned (momentarily) about a year ago. It stars that dude in my profile pic. His name is Jesse, he's kinda fucked up. He's paranoid and wants to be left alone.

4. Egg- Cynical Fairytale

"Mother knows best,

She tells me not to worry,

Just wait a couple years and love will find me in a hurry,

But honestly it's looking like the odds are pretty slim

Given that Flynn Rider's out there, I'd probably reject him"

Okay the last 2 are just songs for my main WIP "Solura Canyon". I know this song is like, Rapunzel inspired, but it fits this character so well. She's an aro/ace princess in a kingdom blessed by a goddess of love. Soulmates and a healthy relationship are a sort of "status symbol" thing in the kingdom, so her parents really want her to find her soulmate. Who doesn't fucking exist.

5. Ricky Montgomery- Snow

"When I go, bury me 6 feet in snow"

The princess, Mina, almost dies of hypothermia in the snow. That's it that's the reasoning.

(Also I guess like. "Skeletons, skeletons" relating to her parents keeping secrets, and "'I'm ready' she says as she put on her shoes" being about her running away from home to get answers from a goddess- but its mostly the snow thing.)

I tag @moonstruck-stormy and you! Yes, you, reading this! Unless you don't want to.

Fitz 📻

character collage number 2! my second most longstanding character, who - along with Valerie, and usually as a pair - has existed across countless daydream universes and plots over the years. She is also one of my favorite character types (although you could argue that all the archetypes are my favorite, they're all fun to poke around with) - a jester, thrill-seeker, the comic relief who gets roped in for more than they anticipated, girlfailure extraordinaire. Fitz has ranged from being a cocky knifethrower to an awkward, well-meaning (albeit blundering) sidekick, but what always remains is her optimism, humor, and inability to read a room before talking shit.

Fitz is a character very near and dear to my heart. Any writer can tell you that no matter how different a character is from their creator, there's always a piece of themselves nestled in their creations. For me, Fitz's character type is one that I've found often reflects many of my own more negative traits - scatterbrained, flighty, a bit tactless, more interested in coasting by in peace than facing necessary conflict. But it's been a bit cathartic to explore her positive traits, too: her enthusiasm, quick thinking, and resilience are not traits I see in myself, but ones I hope for, and it's such a blast to get to weave them together with her flaws. She's also sort of an instant ride-or-die and down for just about anything, which is just plain fun in the context of the group.

Something I really love about Fitz's archetype is the moments where we see the unbothered, ever-positive veneer crack. Valerie and Fitz are one of my all-time favorite pairings because they're both heavily guarded, but where Valerie is layers and layers of brick wall or a heavy wrought iron gate, Fitz is a little window with a kid's drawing of the living room taped facing out. I'm all here, in a really squeaky falsetto, you're looking right at me. And maybe you are, kind of. She's crafted this version of herself to be seen - 'Fitz' is just a nickname from her surname, after all - but there's much more detail hiding behind the drawing. (So fun, so tasty, I love characters who hide or run from who they are, give me fourteen of these guys.) My favorite moments for her character are when a breeze catches and that piece of paper flutters, even if it's just for a second - from little moments like her Appalachian twang coming out to the monumental moments of anger, frustration, fear, the scary negatives that she avoids like the plague but can't always push down.

Fitz is, ultimately, a carrier of many motifs I covet - the pilot is the deliverer, the psychopomp, the bird, so ingrained in her character that her beloved plane is named Peregrine (Perg for short). She's always in search of freedom and adventure, and she quite literally owes her life to Lolha, so accepting her recruitment offer for the Caravas hunt is a no brainer.

Anyway! Enough yapping - some songs for Fitz:

Regular People- Moon Walker

I've Been Dead All Day - Bayside

Way Out - Bass Drum of Death

Mary on a Cross - Ghost

Hot To Go - Chappell Roan
