[ayyy-imma-ninja]

i feel like if fairy eclipse had a video game boss theme it would be “the grimm troupe” or “nightmare king” from hollow knight

I waited sooo long to respond to this for when I finally listened to these QwQ

and yeah! I can see it fitting him! Still trying to find a good general music theme for him, as well.

Umm..... Top 5 songs/soundtracks/sounds to listen to while writing? (if you like listening to stuff while you write) 😁

Oooo I have many to recommend!

Hollow Knight Soundtrack by Christopher Larkin. I absolutely adore this game and soundtrack, the background music and the boss tracks slap!

Skyrim Soundtrack by Jeremy Soule. Skyrim has such pretty music, and I love using it for writing.

Minecraft Soundtrack by C418, Lena Raine, Aaron Cherof. Soft and soothing music, perfect as background noise!

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Soundtrack by Borislav Slavov. In the same vein as the Hollow Knight Soundtrack in that the area and character themes both slap!

Subnautica Soundtrack by Simon Chylinki / Subnautica: Below Zero Soundtrack by Ben Prunty. The music in both games has a very other-worldly, underwater, aquatic feel, which is thematically appropriate for the game and for creativity purposes!

The song featured is Nightmare King from the Hollow Knight OST.

what is it about video game boss themes with harpsichord always going SO HARD

no like, we have World's End Valentine, Mantis Lords, Pandora Palace (and just all of Queen's themes in general), just like arghhhhh

the harpsichord has such a unique timbre, and something about that makes it worth so well with a certain genre of character. it just feels so perfectly fitting to all these characters, making for some striking and recognisable leitmotifs, and it also has the perfect opportunity for fast runs and insane melodies when things hype up.

this is a harpsichord appreciation post. the harpsichord is not appreciated enough, especially when it's used in modern music.

here are the songs i talked about. please feel free to drop any other epic harpsichord songs (especially video game music!!) in the notes, i would love to hear em!

One of my favourite things about the hollow knight soundtrack is how it loops back on itself. Like how the false knight theme has bits and pieces of the radiance theme (around 0:55 and 2:24) so that when you fight the radiance you feel some kind of deja vu. You’ve never fought this being before but the subtleties in the soundtrack make you feel that sense of familiarity. And that’s because you are familiar. You’ve been fighting her the whole time. The radiance is the source of the corruption and has been your main opponent without you even knowing it over the course of the game. And even the music demonstrates that by hiding her theme into the first boss you fight (probably).

I will never not obsess over this absolute masterpiece of a soundtrack and Christopher Larkin did not have to go this in-depth for a game about sad bugs.

currently losing my mind over pale court and the fact that it actually just tells the entire story of the rise and fall of hallownest. i might go into this more later but just saying

Me listening to the Hollow Knight soundtrack (those bugs sure do have sex and get in relationships).

“Well it’s not just mainstream music, aren’t ALL songs about sex and relationships if you really think about it—“ Absolutely the fuck not. I just listened to a song about being buried alive and one about pirates battling a giant squid. Listen to more weird music immediately
