I’d love to see them!! <333

Choose the heir however you want.

Aging should be on.

 You can play this berry, banilla, or however you want!! I have a mix in my game so who knows where mine will go! While matching hair/eyes/clothes are encouraged like in most rainbowcy challenges they aren’t mandatory at all!

Gen 2: Red – Gothabilly

Final generation – Purple: Modern Vamp Goth 

People talk about your family a lot. They’ve always been dark, your parents never came out in the day, and one parent disappeared under mysterious circumstances. They whisper that your other parent did it but you don’t care. You know it’s not true. You love the darkness but you’re a cheerful soul at heart. You grew up knowing something was different about your parents but it’s not until you reach teendom that you learn about your vampiric heritage and what that means. It’s time to embrace eternity.

Oh Wonder - Technicolor Beat (this is my favorite from their Oh Wonder album bc the song on-pointly DETAILS what it's like to fall in love)

Lotte Mulan - Breathless (I LOVE how the small details in her lyrics paints a vivid picture of the sweet feeling of being euphoric about someone with just a girl lying on her bed, happy about her date), Wake Up Next to You (this.is.a.tear.jerker), Valentine's Day (THIS IS SUCH A FLUFFY SONG OMYGOD) *I heard about Lotte Mulan when I was watching Kismet Diner, a 10 min short film used by Cornetto for their advertisement (watch it, it's SO BEAUTIFUL)

Us the Duo - No Matter Where You Are (this song is THE VERY ARTISTS' WEDDING VOWS FOR EACH OTHER), Already Mine (this perfectly tells the story of loving your SO again when times get rough), Make You Mine (FLUFF OVERLOAD!), Goodbye Forever (THIS IS A GREAT BREAKUP/I'M-DONE-WITH-YOU SONG)

The 1975 - Robbers (the MV for this is TOO AESTHETIC IT CAN BE A FULL FLEDGED FILM), Please Be Naked (This is just a very sincere song and you CAN understand all it wants to convey even when it has NO lyrics), Be My Mistake (this is very sad...and real), Sincerity is Scary ("why can't we be friends, when we are lovers" ; the title alone IS ALREADY GOOD MYGOD THIS HAS AN AMAZING SYMPHONY) *If you want to go onto an alternative genre marathon, just listen to them

Also, Florence is definitely one of the greatest vocalists out there and ngl, I don't doubt why no contestant EVER sings her songs in singing competitions without flopping in doing it)
