notes: I had this ridiculous idea that I couldn’t shake… so I did my thing and just full force cracked it the fuck wide open… // I did the shuffle first 10 songs thing and wrote up the list, but after that I took my time replying to these. // character name links are fake for formatting reasons

and in the anything else category we have…-¦- IRON FUCKING MAIDENS -¦- The one and only -¦- freakytits -¦- heavy metal coverband! {yeah, I went there… so far down the rabbit hole i even slammed together a quick gif for ya…}-¦- joan -¦- obviously, is the lead singer as well as drummer. Lead status notwithstanding, -¦- vera -¦- gets main vocals on their songs almost equally as often. Aside from that, she also plays the keyboard and all the epic guitar solos. (When -¦- fridget -¦- tag along, they’re in charge of bitches & beer merch & groupies.)

their fav lyrics from them

when/where/how they discovered the songs

who/what they remind them of and/or why else they resonate with them

anything else that might be pertinent

Amorphis - Shatters Within-¦- vera -¦- » Once I was there » Standing outside » Looking in » Beside my window » Smiling face, shattering-¦- joan -¦- » And I turn my back to the world » Well I don’t care » What can I say if I see you all as deadThey played at the same festival/event as Amorphis at some point and caught that song while they were going to the stage for their own set.-¦- vera -¦- has two very distinct memory-strings that flash before her eyes when she listens to it. For one there were all those times during her childhood and adolescence that more or less played out the same, when a happy moment on the front porch was ruined by her mother who’d been spying on her. Every time something evokes their entire life from her earliest recollections up to her mother’s death, be it song, movie or conversation, Vera gets so emotional that she’s almost glad this song also brings up all the times she was passed over for promotion and all the other governors she had to watch sitting in the office that finalfuckingkly is hers now.-¦- joan -¦- regards it as more of a fight song, really. After all, there’s talk about being fearless and avoiding mushroom clouds. Aside from that, according to these lyrics it’s more than understandable - acceptable even - to just disregard all the fucking brainless ants who call themselves human beings. Their lives never have meant anything and never will mean anything. The only reason they exist is to be toyed with and get crushed when they become bothersome.

{this one I was planning on making anyway tho… had the clip already saved and everything… but yeah, have a gif of Joan looking like she wants to crush my lil shrimp there… so fucking classic}

J2 feat. Cameron The Public - Man In The Mirror-¦- vera -¦- » And No Message Could HaveBeen Any Clearer » If You Wanna Make The WorldA Better Place » Take A Look At Yourself, AndThen Make A Change-¦- joan -¦- » I’ve Been A Victim Of A SelfishKind Of LoveThat is literally the only part of the lyrics that Joan as much as kind of likes… Vera thinks the song has an important message that everybody should take to heart but doesn’t really associate much else with it. She already knew the Michael Jackson version, but Gidge was the one who introduced them to this particular cover. After listening to the first few lines Joan saw right through her though. This wasn’t actually a suggestion for a song they could cover, but an attempt at sneaky psycho-nonsense. So she only listened to it that once and never again.

SEE - She Cries-¦- vera -¦- » When your minds are aligned through the glass it’s clearer for you-¦- joan -¦- » Take a second to unwind and feel your lungs expand inside of you » Take a second to decide and change your eyes from seeing gray and blueThis song makes them think of each other. Neither one of them remembers who came across it when and where first, but it’s one of the songs one of them discovered during rockier times in their relationship.-¦- vera -¦- is reminded of their (near) break-ups, all the pain of those heartbreaks and all the tears she shed over Joan. That one line particularly hits the mark because it will never not remind her of realizing the truth about the former governor.-¦- joan -¦- actually attributes positive images to this one. Yes, it’s a sad song about breaking up, and like Vera, she too is reminded of all the times it was as good as over between them. What’s different for her is that even though she claims not to, she actually does remember the first time she heard the song. And that was long before they ever were more than co-workers. Apprehensive that the woman under her command had become too suspicious of her, she’d been snooping through investigating Vera’s house while the petite brunette was at Wentworth. Not fearing any interruptions, on a whim, she’d started listening to whatever was still in the CD player, and had then put the song on repeat immediately after it was done playing. Hearing it over and over again had then helped her come to a few conclusions. » And oh but it isn’t enough » She cries, she criesEvery time she heard that part she couldn’t help but picture Vera crying herself to sleep because of her. She knew that her protégé wanted more than Joan was willing to give - even professionally. And there was no doubt in her mind that the other woman was just as emotionally affected on a personal level. Until Vera Bennett that sort of thing had never even slowed her down though. On the contrary, she’d always just used it to her advantage - taking the feelings being developed towards her and turning them into an efficient blade was something she considered to be a bit of a speciality even. Of course there had been women she too had been infatuated with, but actually allowing herself such a folly was a mistake she’d paid for dearly and she’d sworn to never let herself be that vulnerable again.That stupid song then went and opened her eyes to the fact that this time things were very different though. Times had changed in general and it wasn’t like either one of them was ever going to be an inmate. Thanks to that, like the song said, she took some time for intense considerations and allowed herself to leave the prison of it all out of the equation completely. A strict separation between work and private life could minimize any complications after all. And it wasn’t as if she’d have to reveal everything about herself. So, maybe, just maybe, as long as she kept her guard up at all times, there was the potential for some companionship here. So she’d gone back home and had started to come up with a plan that would allow them to explore whatever it was that connected them.

The Script feat. Will.i.am - Hall Of Fame-¦- vera -¦- » Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself-¦- joan -¦- » You could walk straight through hell with a smileThis one is way too motivational for it to have come from a source other than Bridget Westfall.{blegh… I’m not trying to be like ‘they get half their shit from Gidge’… but that sneaky psychology thing just seemed like such a thing she’d do and then this one with the we can be heroes attitude… that just screams Gidge to me.}{So, yeah, let’s just assume they saw it on Fridget’s blog, cause obviously, TIFM would have a tumblr and whatnot. Or twitter or facebook or whatever you wanna think of where they communicate digitally. Either way, it’s on Bridget’s motivational shit playlist… which now exists.}-¦- joan -¦- doesn’t need a stupid excessively cheerful song to remind her that she’s better than everybody else. Why don’t people ever write songs about how fucking inferior the masses are? Maybe she and Vera really should start thinking about adding some original songs to their repertoire…-¦- vera -¦- would actually love to do a cover version of this one with the Maidens, but knows Joan (and her taste in music) better than to even suggest it. {yeah… other than the sounds like Gidge thing, this one didn’t inspire me even sort of… :/ }

K’s Choice - Paradise In Me-¦- vera -¦- » And I wonder what it’s all about » To close my eyes and finally see » A piece of paradise in me-¦- joan -¦- » Consuming far too much » Ignoring the will to touch » The ones who don’t have food at all…-¦- vera -¦- discovered K’s Choice when she was a teenager and fell in love with the band not only because she thoroughly enjoyed their music but because so many of their lyrics rang true for her but at the same time they made funny songs that also made you think. There was just something about them that she connected with immediately and that is still there whenever she happens to hear one of their songs again.{that’s basically my own K’s choice backstory, but I liked it for Vera for some reason… I hope that’s okay. If not, scratch that and she just doesn’t remember cause it’s been so long.}-¦- joan -¦- - to her this song is all about the beginnings. Literally, with the first lines also being her favorites, but more importantly so in several figurative ways. For one, she was introduced to the band by Vera when their relationship was in the early stages and they realized just how much they had in common that no one ever could have expected. This song in general, as well as Vera’s favorite passage from it always reminded her just how lucky she was to have Vera. Of course that was something she’d never ever say out loud, but deep down she knew that she had a lot to be thankful for with Vera, including that cheesy paradise thing.And then there is that particular passage. It brings back memories of the time when she first started having these… notions towards her second in command. Trying to starve those out had been the beginning of the end for her when Jodie Spiteri had come forward.

6-10 ➟ fridget (is started but not finished, so: will be posted at some point in the not so distant future…)

who proudly still buys Vinyl and/or CDs and who has an ipod like a pirate ship-¦- vera -¦- ◦ Of course she does have a digital music playing device too, but unless the songs came from one of the pirating minxes, they were downloaded legally.-¦- joan -¦- ◦ If they really wanted your money, they wouldn’t have made it sofucking easy to drink the milk for free… not that she doesn’t everactually buy stuff, but most of the time she refuses to pay for somethingthat can be obtained without money changing hands and requires minimal effort on her part.

who makes all the mixtapes/playlists-¦- vera -¦- ◦ If Joan wants a mixtape/playlist for some reason, she gets Vera to make it for her.

who would last longer in a mosh pit-¦- joan -¦- ◦ She’d be the last one fucking standing, her face sporting that ‘Seriously? Is that all you got?!’ expression as she looks around to make sure they’re really all down for good… or til the next song anyway.-¦- freakytits & fridget -¦- ◦ None of them would be among the very first people to fall, but Vera and Bridget usually go down first and second out of their group. Between the two of them it could go either way though. Sometimes they even do it on purpose and go hang out by the bar instead. Probably not even having noticed that, Franky would eventually start struggling and a misstep then lands her on the ground. But she always jumps right back up and keeps going until she needs a break. And Joan would just keep going til the bitter end, meaning until she feels like she has defeated everybody else. And don’t even bother trying to tell her that it’s not a death match competition.

who would win the gold medal if stage diving was an olympic discipline-¦- vera -¦- ◦ But only because Joan is her coach and puts her through a strict training schedule and has all the best angles and routes and jumping off points and whatnots planned and perfected down to the smallest details. Never in a million years would she ever do the crowd surfing thing herself though. All those filthy people touching her? Don’t be ridiculous.

who has more band shirts and who wears them more often-¦- freakytits -¦- ◦ They have about the same in quantity and wear em equally as often… all of the shirts are from the same band though: -¦- IRON FUCKING MAIDENS -¦-

who randomly starts dancing/singing-¦- vera -¦- ◦ maybe… I don’t know. I can’t really see either one of them just randomly jump up and bounce around or break into song… they do have band practice after all, and when it’s just the two of them and they’re in the mood to jam, they will, but never without something resembling a reason. Vera would be more likely to than Joan though, I think.

who knows all the classics by heart, who has the most awesome random and obscure stuff and who discovers all the new bands-¦- freakytits -¦- aka -¦- IRON FUCKING MAIDENS -¦- ◦ d’oh… cover band XD-¦- joan -¦- ◦ I know she was canon born in Russia cause that was in her file… so assuming she at the very least knows people from her (family’s) past over there… they share the raddest Russian stuff with her and she then circulates that around Melbourne. bonus song: Red Elvises - Juliet-¦- vera -¦- ◦ is the one who actually does the research on said new discovery, regardless of which one of em actually stumbled across them first.

who drags the other one along to all the concerts/festivals/CBGB’s type venues etc-¦- joan -¦- ◦ Vera makes suggestions, but they really only go to whatever Joan approves of. And the same goes for all the gigs the Iron Fucking Maidens book. If Joan isn’t feeling it for whatever reason, it’s not happening.

who messes with the car radio as soon as a song they don’t like starts playing-¦- joan -¦- ◦ Like she’s gonna tolerate one more note than necessary to recognize that shit? Please. It’s fucking -¦- JOAN -¦-

anything else that might be pertinent
