I'm all for remixing a song and trying something new with it! But sometimes. Sometimes. You just have to accept that you can't turn a song into something that it just isn't

TAV x ASTARION SONGS ABOUT: Life as Lord Astarion and his Dark Consort

Since I have a massive 180+ song playlist for my Tav, Efenity and Astarion, I decided to gather the most "important" and relevant ones, for my own reference/index mostly, but also if anyone else's Tav has a similar dynamic with him maybe you can swipe some of these songs :P Maybe it will give you ideas or help expand your own TavxAstarion playlists idk. (Obviously I have a lot more for Efenity vs just Astarion, but that's because I'm always inside her head lmao Also, all links lead to Youtube btw. And it's mostly electronic music)

For context of my Tav: Efenity Kelmorn is a half high-elf, Storm Sorcerer (mostly lightning), and criminal. Neutral Evil, ESTP. More about her here.

Here are songs about (my) Lord and Lady Ancunín post-game:

⚔⚔⚔ Astarion's POV ⚔⚔⚔ ⚔ Written In The Scars (Anki Remix) - Galantis (ft Wrabel) ⚔ U Found Me - Tritonal ⚔ Parachute (Krazy Kat Extended Mix) - Matthew Koma ⚔ Touch - Great Good Fine Ok ⚔ Sunset (Michael Cassette Remix) - The Midnight

🌩️🌩️🌩️ Efenity's POV 🌩️🌩️🌩️ 🌩️ Your Love Is King - Sade 🌩️ Expectations - SVRCINA 🌩️ If The Devil Is You - RUNN 🌩️ Giving You The Best That I Got - Anita Baker 🌩️ Losing My Mind - Tritonal & HALIENE 🌩️ Peace Sign - Lights 🌩️ Shelter (ft Melanie Fontana) - Jason Ross 🌩️ Ain't Nobody - Chaka Khan 🌩️ Sanctuary (Daniel Kandi Remix) - SMR LVE, Cristina Novelli 🌩️ No Ordinary Love - Sade 🌩️ Jai Ho - Pussycat Dolls 🌩️ Praise You (ft Fatboy Slim) - Rita Ora 🌩️ Sweetest Taboo - Sade 🌩️ Every Every - MOONZz 🌩️ Dissolve - MOOZz 🌩️ Follow You (Stereopole Remix) - Nitrous Oxide

Favaen (with Emblyn making a guest appearance)

So this was hard, on the one hand because I didn't really have anything on hand and on the other because when I went looking I suddenly had a bunch for the same point.

The Shore - Basia Bulat

Dakara Hitori Ja Nai - Christina Vee (Little Glee Monster)

Rise and Fall - Black Water County

We'll Meet Again - Laura Brehm and TheFatRat

Burn It Down - Vixy and Tony

Like The Dawn - The Oh Hellos

Throwing a tag towards @adraveins and @stylishanachronism for some good music recs. 👀

An event that defines their past

(This was so hard to limit, holy shit)

The Shore - Basia Bulat

There is no one who will take me by that shore Close to the smoke, far from the fires of your harbour But if I am awake this time I'll know All over your eyes, a storm is rolling over, rolling over

Emblyn, dearly regretting her decisions.

Oh you can take away the divine my dear And comb your hair And I won't mind at all Even when the thought's behind I came just to remind you I love you so

And while she does regret a lot, this one thing she clings onto.

How they see themselves

Dakara Hitori Ja Nai - Christina Vee

(an english cover translation)

Once I hated everything Sadness seemed my destiny Couldn't see the beauty all around me (If only) my future spans in front of me A crossroad branching endlessly The road is paved, the course is set I'll grab my dreams, the time is now

Favaen used to have severe emotional management problems and had no idea what to do with herself, a problem she eventually worked out with the help of her mentor and mother figure.

But those empty words are not a plan Lucky stars don't care So don't rely on counting them I'm thinking way too hard about my past I gotta push myself, I'm facing my worst fear, oh Don't care if I'm crying (I'm crying) I'm flying (I'm flying), I made my mind up Trust me, I will keep trying I'm stronger than I know (I'm stronger now) Don't care if I'm lonely (I'm lonely) It's only (It's only) the end of the old me It's time to let her go Say goodbye! (Say goodbye, say goodbye!) Love never lies

She is inherently optimistic because she made the decision and effort to be. Despite her past (both personal and Emblyn's) still on weigh on her, she does her best to move and make the future a better one.

How others view them

Rise and Fall - Black Water County

Listen here, tell me dear What have you now got to fear? Took you long to realise Take it one day at a time verse You've been wasting the minutes In the hours of your days Look around and you'll find That it's just another way

But there's something on my mind That I need to leave behind So tear the page, hit erase 'Til the day you hear me call Make a promise that you'll be The best to rise and fall

Favaen makes herself a turning point for the people around her. An opportunity to do better, to move on, to be someone you's rather be. Be that for Edér who ties himself to her in turn with such a force he literally sails across the ocean on the vague hope it might save her, or for some random bandit who gets to make the choice to leave, live another day, and never see her again.

Their closest relationship

We'll Meet Again - Laura Brehm and TheFatRat

This one had a lot of options, both in relationship and song (Edér being a good contender for example) but I realised I already had this one saved and it's too good not to take so Eothas it is. This is probably pretty self explanatory.

Suddenly you're nowhere to be found I turn around and everything has changed Looking for a way to work it out I'm trying to find some peace to navigate Everything we wanted turned to gold (Turned to gold) The path we chose, the future on our side Never thought I'd do this on my own (On my own) But now I wield the sword you left behind Dark for the sunrise Clouds for a blue sky Space for the travelling star Strong from the inside You're still my life-line I feel you wherever you are The oak tree where I met you And the writing on the statue I still remember every word you said I'm not a soldier, but I'm fighting Can you hear me through the silence? I won't give up 'cause there will be a day We'll meet again

Fight Scene

Burn It Down - Vixy and Tony

This was kinda hard for different reasons. I eventually landed on this one because it fits her as a character and is energetic and inspirational. Some expamples:

The legend of the firebird Is one of transformation If you dare to take the journey And you give the wolf his due Let the flame inspire For you are your own creation Throw your fear upon the pyre And let it rise as something new

So you think you don't burn bright enough? I tell you it's not true Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down Throw your fear upon the fire and burn it down Throw your voice out to the wind Feel the heat upon your skin As you hunger, so begin Burn it down

End Credits

Like The Dawn - The Oh Hellos

(The Oh Hellos are such a treasure trove for this)

I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you first He'd put me deep, deep under so that he could work And like the dawn you broke the dark and my whole earth shook I was sleeping in the garden when I saw you At last, at last Bones of my bones and flesh of my flesh, at last

Imagry of how Eothas kept Emblyn's soul with him repaired it over time and how she was eventually reborn as Favaen with pieces of him holding her together, making them essential soul twins.

You were the brightest shade of sun I had ever seen Your skin was gilded with the gold of the richest kings And like the dawn you woke the world inside of me You were the brightest shade of sun when I saw you

Being a form of soul twins it made Favaen absolutely miserable to be apart from him (something he didn't consider at all as a possibility cause he is in fact, not very smart) and eventually officially joining the clergy was an incredible relief for her.

[panzershrike-pretz]

*basically falls into your ask box* PRETZ I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T ASKED YOU SOMETHING YET SORRY

First of fucking all: I love you guys' ocs!! Feel free to ramble about them to me, I love meeting new characters!

So, starting off with @malarkgirlypop because I absolutely fucking ADORE Emily. She is just the best and reminds me of a friend of the same name, so I just love vibing away with her! Her whole deal comung from the future and being so absolutely different from ths boys but at the same time fitting right in?? Love that

And then there's @coco-bean-1218. I LOVE OC!CLAIRE SO MUCH SHE'S SO ADORABLE!!!! I LOVE HER AND CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE FUCK OUT OF WELL BEHAVED WOMEN NEVER MAKE HISTORY!!! (also can we talk about that title??? Because I love it)

We also got @next-autopsy 's ocs. All of them but like,,,, I have a special something for Francesca. Obviously I live Birdie as well but like. Francesca resonates with me. (I ABSOLUTELY ADORE BIRDIE'S NICKNAME AND SHE REMINDS ME OF A SHRIKE OR A LONG-EARED NIGHTJAR).

12. Songs that you associate with certain mutuals?

Idk if I'll be able to give explanations to everyone but I'll try! Also, I use only vibes.

@malarkgirlypop - she makes me think of Set It All Free by Scarlett Johnsson, from the movie Sing! I just adore her vibes so like. Am I wrong? (Don't answer this)

@luckynumber4 - definetely makes me think of the song Everything Moves by Bronze Radio Return! I love this song so much and it brings me Lou vibes, idk why.

@xxluckystrike - you make me think of Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder! You just have this fun vibe and I love it a whole lot!

@whollyjoly - We Own The Night by The Wanted! This is such a upbeat song and I feel like it fits you a lot, but also It's Tough To Be a God from Road to El Dorado, but especifically the Annapantsu cover. Yes it's because of the cult.

@sweetxvanixlla - Biscuits by Kacey Musgraves! You give responsible(TM) vibes a lot. And this song is just adorable like you. Fight me.

@georgieluz - Curses by The Crane Wives. This song makes me think of you, deal with it :]

@land-sh - The Cult of Dionysus by The Orion Experience! Yeah, listen to it and you'll understand.

@next-autopsy - Battlecry by Mazare and Philip Strand. I CANNOT listen to it without thinking of you and Made of Glass! I love this song a lot.

@coco-bean-1218 - Come Along by Cosmo Shelldrake. This is one of my favorite songs and artists and I just HAD to choose it since you were the reason I first got into the BoB fandom!

@footprintsinthesxnd - Fly Away by TheFatRat. I was OBSSESSED with this song not long ago! And it's just so good too? Definetely makes me think of you!

27. What is your favorite moment during your time in the fandom?

That has to be the Cult thing. It started as a joke and took over my fucking life xD

Again, sorry to any mutuals I didn't include! I tried my best here, so enjoy the songs and all that! Love u guys <3

[adm-starblitzsteel-4305]

💯 BEST I RECOMMENDED YOU ALL TO LISTEN THEFATRAT'S NEW SONG "RAY TRACER"!!! IT BROUGHT ME SO MUCH POSITIVITY!!!!

[justpked]

I used this song suggestion on another blog but figured ya know what? It fits MeidhxMC...

At least...I feel like it does.

"We'll meet again" by TheFatRat & Laura Brehm

Poor Meidh has been waiting so long n here the MC come blasting back, yet they gotta wait just a litttlleee longer.

(Also I blindly clicked upon the Asol link and it didn't occur to me what I walked into until 'Breeding' ...Maiden have mercy on those sinners)

Oh, for sure, the song fits Meidh.

Suddenly, you're nowhere to be found I turn around and everything has changed Looking for a way to work it out I'm trying to find some peace to navigate

The Harbinger disappeared without a trace. How? Why? When? Meidh sees all so how did the Harbinger disappear right before their eyes. Something isn't right. Who? Who was it that made them blind to this? No matter where they look they can't find the Harbinger.

It's lonely. Oh so lonely.

The doll in their hands can only give them so much comfort. No matter what Meidh does, it isn't the same. What Meidh wants is to touch the Harbinger's flesh, to feel their essence against their own, to provide the comfort they so desire.

But you are no longer here.

Dark for the sunrise Clouds for a blue sky Space for the travelling star Strong from the inside You're still my lifeline I feel you wherever you are

Meidh searches beyond what any Divine will go through. Even if it causes their body to slowly decay, they will look even into the Void. If it's for the Harbinger, it's worth it. Meidh cannot bear a world without them. There are so many words left for the Divine to say. So many things they have yet to do.

This realm, beautiful and cruel as it may be is a realm Meidh adores. Truly. It is the world Meidh had grown and lived with you. But it seems the world did not love the Harbinger back. Despite everything the Harbinger had done, it did not love you in return. If that is the case;

Would it be best to lead it to sunder?

So that this imperfect, beautiful, both old-and-new world will better suit you?

We'll meet again.

It's a promise. An oath. A vow.

Meidh will see the Harbinger once more, face to face, one day.

Until then, go on and take your first steps into this new age. Journey to new lands far beyond your understanding. Find and meet new friends, allies or even foes. No longer, will you be burdened by the weight of your duties. No longer, will you be tied down.

Meidh wishes nothing, but the best for you, oh darling Moíhím.

(Also, look away from the sin. Do not be influenced by it. Return to wholesomeness-)

nine people to get to know tag meme

Thanks for the tag, @therisingdarkness! I need to be doing these things to make myself focus.

Last Song You Listened To: "Mayday" by TheFatRat. The lyrics were speaking.

Favorite Color: Orange. Autumn where I live consists of about nine days in January, so I soak up the fall vibes where I can. Purple is a close second by association since a lot of my favorite people dig it.

Currently Watching: I'm rewatching "The Legend of Korra." I actually don't like Korra, but the show's got its good parts.

Favorite flavor: It was recently pointed out that I don't seem to ever say no to anything with coconut, so I'll go with that.

Current Obsession: I don't think I have one. I get daily micro obsessions, but there's nothing lasting. Last night, I stayed up late looking up everything I could find on uranium glass. The night before that, it was cactus grafting.

Last thing I googled: How to remove coffee stains from stainless steel. That overworked travel bottle of mine needs a spa day.

Favorite season: (see favorite color) Autumn all the way.

Skill I'd like to learn: Drawing. I keep saying I want to start, but I open my laptop and always end up writing instead.

Best Advice: Don't waste your time trying to get the attention of people who seem important. Be yourself and let your people find you. That's when the fun really starts!

Tagging nine people I don't know well but think are interesting: @niobiumao3, @arlothia, @nika6q, @gorlicberd, @theartgremlin, @norraexploradora, @vivaislenska, @like-a-bantha, @jigget

(But I honestly wouldn't mind learning more about most of you, so if you want to do this, GO FOR IT and tag me so I won't miss it!)

Tags and something what I like. Photo ‎ | Pseudo-Art Tag | Screenshots | Archive If you want to describe a person, do it through media. I really adore video game soundtracks and want to share these as they are a huge, formative part of my life. Post just by myself to yourself .・゜゜・　 　・゜゜・．.・゜゜・　　 ・゜゜・．.・゜゜・ Celeste has an incredibly appealing vibe and an enticing story, the appealing characters and smooth gameplay gave a great experience, and the music threw goosebumps every single time. .｡*ﾟ+.*.｡　　　ﾟ+..｡*ﾟ+.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡　　　ﾟ+..｡*ﾟ+.｡*ﾟ+.*.｡　　　ﾟ+..｡*ﾟ+

Avicii Invector gave me a new musician in playlist, and more familiarity with his history, racing rhythm style was perfect, and over the years the game has become better, getting rid of bugs and visual problems. Rest in peace Tim. ⭒❃.✮:▹　 　◃:✮.❃⭒

Milk outside a bag of milk was in the right place at the right time, made me think about many moments of anxiety and shyness, stepping out of the circle of sad thoughts and lighting up my room in blood red color… The music in it shares a similar enveloping experience, so foreign but pleasant and relaxing. ⋆┈┈｡ﾟ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ❁ུ۪ ❃ུ۪ ❀ུ۪ ﾟ｡┈┈⋆

Minecraft, Pigstep… Lena Rain again? Did you ever play minecraft on your phones on LAN in school? It was a great time, we showed each other buildings, farmed together, sometimes skipped school to do something in minecraft….. But why this particular soundtrack, since those versions didn't have it… I really like C418's music and I respect his work, but among artists in the genre of video game soundtracks, Lena Raine is my favorite. And the jazzy version by insaneintherain reminds me of those very atmospheric school days more than any other. ・‥…━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆☆☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━…‥・

Dying Light, first scary game that I met on a friend's computer, soundtrack from menu was in my head for a long time. And what a moment, get out from the shelter at night, knowing about the hunters was very unpleasant. We moved very carefully, tried to avoid any danger, and then everything turned into stealth…. A city plagued by contagion, with no big buildings, a city that not going to get any help…. Soundtrack picked up on all the drama and spun the emotions to a new level. ‧̍̊˙· 𓆝.° ｡˚𓆛˚｡ °.𓆞 ·˙‧̍̊‧̍̊˙· 𓆝.° ｡˚𓆛˚｡ °.𓆞 ·˙‧̍̊‧̍̊˙· 𓆝.° ｡˚𓆛˚｡ °.𓆞 ·˙‧̍̊‧̍̊˙· 𓆝.° ｡˚𓆛˚｡ °.𓆞

Saya no Uta / Song of Saya, Longest novel I've ever read… (yes it's short and?) a strange experience, but extremely repulsive and at the same time attractive visuals, old age and uniqueness of style… The soundtrack bouncing from aggressive, to the calmest of compositions, is exactly the frightening experience that was needed. ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ 　˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

TheFatRat, and music pack from *sigh* Dota 2... Was chosen because he's my favorite musician, and it's his only work for video games…. Sad choice of course, and the best music pack in the game? I have a negative attitude towards competitive games, but Christian's work makes me happy and I've been waiting for every piece of his art since 2021. I'd like to see more of his music in video games ♩♬♩♪♪♩♬♩♪♩ ♩♪♩♬♬♩♪♩　 　　♩♬♩♬♩♪♩　

Katana Zero - The game features many musicians giving many different emotions, and only the Designer, Programmer, Scriptwriter in one person gave the best and most dramatic soundtrack in the whole game, wonderfully constructed scene, selected written soundtrack. I cried for the first time from a video game at that very moment. I will definitely wait for the DLC, but for now all that's left to play is fan works that try but fail to reach the level of the original.

[an0nfr0mth3d3n]

As someone who was a TheFatRat super fan like 5 years ago, hearing this style of music is bringing me back in the best ways possible.

[glasyasbutch]

playlist: hyssop (A-side)

The memories of a rabbit guy who left his burrow to be more than someone's son and found himself a grouchy but damn good guard for hire

link to playlist on spotify

link to B-side post

1. Young and Menace by Fall Out Boy

Woke up on the wrong side of reality / and there's a madness that's just coursing right through me / And as for the time, for the time / Not sure I'm there yet but I'm sure that I've arrived / Oops I did it again, I forgot what I was losing my mind about

One of the first songs I picked out for this playlist. It's bold, it's strong, the overall vibes lean into what I wanted to get across of "guy who doesn't really know himself but knows for Sure he is going to fuck something up" and "potential danger to myself but bigger danger to you". Lots of references to lost memory and waking up uncertain of things, great for Hyssop fresh off the mind wipe.

2. Faster by Within Temptation

I can feel that you mesmerize my heart / I feel so free, I'm alive, I'm breaking out / I won't give in, 'cause I'm proud of all my scars / And I can see I've been wasting too much time

Another fast, forceful one, and I just love Within Temptation. There's a sister WT song on the B-side playlist (The Howling). If the first song was fresh off the mind wipe, this one's fresh off leaving the burrow and being on his own for the first time. And there's absolutely zero dramatic irony in the last song repeating "we've gone way too fast for way to long" and this one repeating "faster and faster".

3. Nemesis by TheFatRat

An instrumental piece that I chose as the soundtrack for Hyssop's combat scenes. There's a matching instrumental fight song on the B-side playlist (Protect and Defend).

4. Rain by MIKA

This ordinary mind is broken, you did it and you don't even know / You're leaving me with words unspoken, you better get back 'cause I'm ready for / More than this, whatever it is / Baby I hate days like this / Caught in a trap, can't look back / Baby I hate days like this.

Required MIKA kin song. This one's starting to transition into a slower, more introspective feel for the back half of the playlist. I originally picked it out as a ballad to Whoever The Fuck Broke His Brain Can You Fix It Please, but the more I thought about it, it doubles pretty well for his feelings about his family he grew up with too. The parallels and the cycle that doesn't break and all that.

5. Way Out There by Lord Huron

I'm a long way from the one that I loved / I've been tending old flames, lamenting what was / Drifting in a land that time forgot / If you think I've changed you know me not / I belong to the bodily earth / Wearing old bones from the ones who came first / I've been unraveling since my birth / Gonna wander out there and see what I'm worth

The last addition to the playlist but possibly the one I like best for him. There's a eerie serenity to the guitar that I think really reflects the way Hyssop feels about nature and the peace he's found in solitude out there. And if you thought the last one was a double-meaning ballad to the family and the memories he left behind, guess again. This is the perfect song for someone who has no idea who he is and desperately needs to find out.

6. You Think Your Skull is a Mighty Fortress by Dirt Poor Robins

We'll have some things to discuss / When we quarry, what's buried? / The bones you hid in such a hurry / We tarry now but we'll get around / To digging it up

Surely the fact that Hyssop is missing 10 years of his memory will just be a cool thing to keep to himself and will have zero influence on the story at all in any meaningful way. 👍

BONUS SONG that was on the playlist but I took it off because I wanted both The Memories and The Forgotten to have the same number of songs + I felt there were too many slow songs

Asleep by Sleeping at Last

I'm not certain I'm not a ghost / Is this free will or am I doing as I'm told? / I know shadows follow the rules / But what if tonight by the mercy of light, I could choose?

The literal meaning of the song is about the beauty of dreaming when you're fed up with your life, and I originally put this song on there as a "before he left the burrow" kind of thing. Like this was meant to be angsty teenage Hyssop first beginning to realize he didn't have to be beholden to other people's successes to make something of himself.

But it also makes me think of a moment in the campaign. Norm asked Hyssop if he acted the way he does because he got close to someone and lost them, and Hyssop said not all the way, but he almost did, and he swore he'll never actually get there. He was talking about himself - he got close to Someone and it cost him 10 years of his life and most of his sense of self. This song is for that promise - no matter how lost and untethered he becomes, he will always find a way to retain some semblance of control. There will always be a part of him that is no one else's that he will use to create his future.

[lightgriffinsect]

You were the first person I thought of for this for some reason; do you have any tips for naming characters? I’m really struggling rn

Not really unfortunately ^^; the names for my ocs are ones that just Came to me, or they're placeholder names that I've gotten really attached to.

It might be a good idea to go through some name generators, since even if you don't find any good names on there it might give some inspo with coming up with your own names.

Also I'll give a few examples of how I named some ocs to hopefully give some more ideas:

Monody's name is from one of my favorite TheFatRat songs because her soul genre is glitch hop

Radiant's name is because she uses light magic

With Mell, I actually got the name idea first and later on built a character around it. He ended up becoming a crafter specializing in tech because his name originally came from a drone in a sci fi book series I read.

Set Notation is exactly what he is lmao, I made math into an oc 💀

All of my characters' last names, barring Set, are ones I made up myself.

Mell's last name is Wayspire.

Spring's is Emerand (from Emerald, because she has green eyes.)

Radiant's is Twifarer, because she's a traveler and that sounds sufficiently travel-y? A magician who journeys at twilight?

Other than that, Ceres Juno Enceladus is purposely a terrible name XD it's because her heartware is an aesthetic planet lamp. I couldn't decide which name I liked best, so I gave her all of them and blamed her adoptive parents lmao

Looking at it now, I think what I usually do is take any aspect of my character, either physical or personality-wise. ANY aspect. And I find a word that represents that well, and use it to form a name to my liking. The most obvious example of that would be Spring Emerand, whose last name comes from Emerald, I just changed one letter.

That seems to be what works for me, so I hope it works for you! And if not, maybe you just need to keep looking for a method that works better for you. Hope I was able to help :)
