#but it makes sense since Meow is named after a BTS member lmao

Make a playlist of 5-10 songs for your OC/WoL (for flavor, make a aesthetic collage for the playlist cover)

Thank you for the ask!

So I went one step further then the prompt because some songs, looking at you SPG, I feel would look random without an explanation for why I chose them, plus I added a relevant/favourite quotes from the song because I could 😊

I feel like this is also outing my ever so random music taste lmao

If you click the collage it will take you to an actual playlist of the songs too! Below the read more is the song explanations~💕

What We Need Are Some Heroes - SPG

"You know brighter day is just around the bend. What we need are some heroes, with wills of iron, their hearts in the stars through the darkest of days"

I feel like say this too much but Meow isn't the canonical WOL so he isn't a hero. So this feels very much what he would be thinking when Titania becomes a light warden and hope all seems lost, what we need are some heroes.

Moonchild - RM (BTS)

"That's how it's supposed to be, yeah, all this pain and all these sorrows that's our destiny, see?" "Moonchild, don't cry. When moon rise, it's your time."

This song is all about surviving hardships by looking at the moon and finding comfort in the darkness which I feel is very much what Meow would be doing once the night comes back to the first. Also he is a moon cat so he is literally a moonchild!

Please Explain - SPG

"Please explain, What to do if the point is moot? What's a moot anyway??" "Guess we need some good-old-fashioned explaining, please explain it to me"

Meow doesn't know very much from living the first half of his life with the pixies so I feel like this would be very common thing he would ask Uranger, once he gets to Il Mheg, and even more so when he finally arrives in the Crystarium. Please ignore how robot themed it is, it fits so well apart from that lmao

Burnin' Love - Wynonna Judd

"'Cause your kisses lift me higher, like a sweet song of a choir and you light my morning sky with burning love"

Perfect song for his burning love for his husband Moren 💕

Sweet Hibiscus Tea - Penelope Scott

"And I'm not your protagonist, I'm not even my own. I don't know anything, I don't even know what I don't know"

I feel like that quote from the song covers it to be honest. Meow sometimes feels not in control of his life as he's not strong enough to be a hero for anyone even in his own life. He doesn't understand much of the world which, at least at first, would make him feel like a hindrance.

Filter - Jimin (BTS)

"Mix the colours in the palette, pick your filter, which kind of me do you want?"

This was honestly the first song I ever linked to Meow in my brain. Just Meow trying to show off all the different sides of himself to pick the one someone would like best.

Me & My Baby (Saturday Night) - SPG

"With The dancing and the singing, like the weekdays never happened. I could be, I should be, dancing right now!"

Meow absolutely loves dancing, I can just imagine him asking Moren on a date to go dancing to forget the worries of the week!

Sex Sells - Lovejoy

Bruh when the singer is revealed to be an abuser legit the day after putting this song for this ask prompt 😠 fuck you Wilbur Soot.

Permission to dance - BTS

"I wanna dance, the music's got me going, ain't nothing that can stop how we move"

I feel like this is how Meow would try to deal with sad emotions, he would try to do something fun and enjoy himself instead, nothing good would come out of just wallowing in his sorrows. He enjoys dancing so I could see this as how he cheers himself up, he doesn't need permission to dance! :)

It's Not A Game, It's Just A Ride - Ride the Cyclone

"This ride, it has heartbreak. This ride, it has pain. All kinds of blue skies, no shortage of rain, yes there is laughter and the telling of lies and maybe in darkness we open our eyes" "And the world will keep on spinning, with no ending or beginning so just take a look around"

Is it cheating to choose a closing musical song for my last song on the playlist? Maybe a little but I feel this song just fits a lot. Life is not a game, its a ride, you don't need to measure yourself against others. I feel like Meow learns that lesson eventually and just enjoys his simple life without measuring it against others.
