#most character playlists on spotify are shit tbh

[internationalplayboysdotcom]

not to be a hater but the makima playlists on spotify are shit

[pendinganchor]

me: *having the time of my life making character/ship playlists*

also me: *knows i’ll never share them because i do not give a shit about genre so if the lyrics fit it goes on the playlist*

[bisexualenbyblueberry]

Do you have any ideas about what each of the TDP character’s music taste would be like?

This can include music from literally any era and/or culture

OH MY GOD I've been waiting SO LONG to have this asked to me, SO

First things first, I remember commenting somewhere on a post about Soren and Corvus' "song" that to Corvus, their song was something by Mitski, and to Soren, their song was like. I Am A Gummy Bear so write that down for them

In all seriousness I feel like Soren would like exclusively parody, joke songs. Weird Al, Danny Gonzalez, etc etc. And his ass has definitely listened to the Beast Mode Spotify playlist before

Claudia- Taking a page out of 2018 Tumblr's interpretation of Claudia as her being super goth and saying she listens to MCR or smth like that. idk I know nothing about goth music. Either that or TV girl

Terry- it would be low-hanging fruit to say he listens to Cavetown. It would be less low-hanging fruit to say he does not pay attention to lyrics in the slightest. Only tune. His playlist is the most chaotic, genre-free mess you'll ever see. It has several Christmas songs on it. He listens to it year round. Everyone is terrified of him

Callum- he's one of those queer teenage boys who listen exclusively to 80's rock. He defends the Beatles with his life (Rayla is the one he has to defend them from)

Rayla- Sneers at Callum for his love songs. Laughs at him for grinning while walking around blasting soft rock. Looks down on everyone who listens to non-instrumental music. Does not listen to lyrics music. Definitely has NOT cried to sad Conan Gray and Harry Styles songs at 1:00 am before, please stop asking

Ezran- he just listens to whatever everyone else wants to listen to tbh. He has had to mediate music-related arguements in the car before

Runaan- only listens to classical music from the Renaissance era

Kazi- idk what they'd listen to exactly (maybe like, dark academia shit) but the important thing is that they have a different playlist for everything. Going to a cafe? There's a playlist for that. Taking the bus? There's a playlist for that. Watering their cacti? There's a playlist for that. Anyone can ask them for a playlist with any concept and they'd have it, as well as a lengthy anecdote as to why.

Gren- I absolutely hate doing this to him but. Gren listens to the most agressively white man music ever. Cotton Eyed Joe is his favourite song. He knows all the lyrics to Sweet Home Alabama. He's also one of those people who never makes a playlist, just listens to music raw and randomly. You could tell him you made him a playlist and play one of those "songs that excite the white folk" and he would be ever so thankful that you made him this playlist that caters exactly to his taste. Gren I am so so sorry I did this to you but it was needed

I want you to know I have agressively slapped my hand over my mouth several times while writing this like some sort of cartoon villain

OKAY it is now the next morning and I would like to add:

Viren- hates all music. Like he thinks it's a distraction from more important things and just despises it. If there's music playing in a room he'll leave that room, no matter what

Harrow- Swiftie dad

i cannot find my original weeb ranking post, and recent discoveries have been occupying my brain so i need to dump them in this post

current rankings as of oct 19, 2024 (subject to change as i update this post)

megan thee stallion - 110% would risk catching covid and being a fire hazard if she wanted to take me on an anicon date

nick r (bad omens) - this man is a fucking weeb (affectionate) and that crunchyroll interview is enough proof (also not my weeb ass watching that entire interview)

noah (bad omens) - demoted coz he wasn't caught up with aot

niko (blind channel) - i don't really go here but i have seen enough of this blorbo-in-law to know that this man is a weeb

alpha wolf - specifically lochie and sabian because my weeb radar is (unfortunately) stronger than my gaydar but that 2024 album most certainly contains certified weeb references in some song titles why tf do i know all this weeb shit when i don't watch anime

within destruction - currently lumping them into a group because i don't stalk their individual socials enough but pls see: 1) anime merch 2) more anime merch 3) technically not full weeb but still kinda weeb if y'all seen their drummer's back piece 4) vocalist is def a weeb on main 5) did i mention anime merch 6) also touring TWICE with the band that did the attack on titan themes was also a choice

will ramos (lorna shore) - prefers manga over comic art style? WEEB CONFIRMED (but he didn't show any anime related tattoos during the tattoo tour so he's here in the rankings)

bmth - i feel like someone has some degree of weeb influence but isn't heavy handed in it (cough oli and his animu drop dead shirts cough) but also all the jp game references and also HELLO MR. KOJIMA?????. update 1) nex gen happened

---

[uhhhhhh we are moving into "not (heavily) weeb on main" / "casual anime enjoyer/probably not a true weeb" territory after this]

---

stand atlantic - idk who is a weeb in this band but i'm pretty sure they had a naruto inspired tee at their merch table back before the pandemmy (factoring out their bassist since i don't think he was an official member at that point)

courtney laplante (spiritbox) - has publicly documented weeb references but i also cba to read the article so i'm putting her both here

vinny (miw) - tbh idk enough about his weeb tendencies so he's lower than courtney but he did mention that he likes attack on titan

jolly from bad omens - i don't have solid evidence except that one interview where he got mentioned in passing and i also get euro vkei copy band vibes from his earlier photos

knocked loose - they set off my weebdar but i haven't dug around enough. there is that pic of 2/5ths of the band with piccolo (or was it some other DB character, i can't remember) but i am ranking bryan over nicko unless someone has solid proof that it should be the other way around

turnstile - SOMEONE PUT AJIKAN ON THAT ONE SPOTIFY PLAYLIST but that's all i have for now

-

basically anyone on this list has already set off my weeb radar to some extent (using the term weeb realllllly loosely in some cases)

honorary mention(s) - lupe fiasco

[youre-ackermine]

1. gun to your head, you gotta save one of them and the other's going to die : levi or hange? 😈

2. who's your fave metal band/artist of all times, and which type of metal do you enjoy most?

3. how do you handle hange's fate most days and does it vary? are you more Team Denial or have you accepted it because you think it's a fitting ending for their character, or anything in between?

yeah i'm curious and i can't sleep either hehehe

Krikkit 🙂

Thanks for asking ! Sorry to reply so late, but I finally fell asleep earlier than expected 😴

*****

1/ I should have known you would ask a tricky question like this, you evil moot lmao !!

[speaking of canon characters here] According to my preferences -even if I almost love both of them equally by now- you could fairly expect me to choose Levi, but I would save Hange ! [Disclaimer : me not saying Levi's life is not valuable, don't misinterpret my words, people, please & thank you]

Besides Hange's fighting skills, their brains still have so much to offer to Humanity after war, in terms of progress, knowledge, improvement, technology, based on their scientific experimentation & enthusiastic curiosity. Their kindness & heartwarming sunshine personality would spread positivity & comfort around them as well, helping those close to them cope with their griefs & heal their emotional wounds. [But this would be so cruel, as I imagine they would mourn Levi for years & -secretly- hate me so much for choosing them over him 😭😭😭]

2/ My musical tastes are basically goth (mainly old school lmao) & metal since I was 12 yo. As far as metal is concerned, I used to listen to Rammstein & Marilyn Manson A .F*CKING .LOT !!

But as I grow older, my interest focuses on Black Metal, especially Satyricon [Dark Medieval Times & Nemesis Divina are my all times fav BM albums] & I recently experienced musical epiphany thanks to @stellar-smth 's advice : I literally fell in love with the Swiss band BORGNE omg I love their music so much !! If someone is interested, I can send the link to my Spotify playlist 🤘

3/ Oh my, this one pierces right through my kokoro 💔 I DON'T handle their fate AT ALL, I can't ! The more we get close to March 3rd, the more I get depressed. After reading chapter 132, I cried for 2 full hours at least, I couldn't stop, even after re-realizing they were a fictional character. So when I'll watch the animated scene...

I'd say I'm somewhere in between. The way Hange sacrifices themself of their own free will to save their comrades - & thus humanity- totally fits the character imo. It's no surprise they follow their convictions & beliefs until the very end. Once again, I'll say they are the real hero of the story as they SAVE EVERYBODY ELSE'S ASS for f*ck's sake !!!

On the other hand, I wish they could survive the Rumbling & live a peaceful life with Levi 💚💜😢 So I'm more than often Team Denial & read so so much fics where they're both alive & happy together, I also focus on what happened during the 4 years time lapse in the story [mainly Levihan working together, lovingly taking care of their growing brats together, increasing their bond/love just being together all the time & so on & so forth, Levihan living rent free in my mind 24/7 tbh] Also : Hange is the most underrated character in snk, even more than Levi, & we need a f*cking back story for them please I'm on my knees begging you Isayama 🛐

*****

I hope you finally fell asleep, I don't know how you can survive your long shifts !!

Thanks for passing by, always a pleasure to see Krikkit in my notifs ❤️

Mwah kith 😘

BONUS : RANDOM SHIT

The two dorks Valentine's Day gifts they found for each other [just to cheer up the mood]

Since I'm also a dork, here's a Levihan kiss 💚💜

[bitchin-witchin]

Was recently reminded of a fatuichi wip I had from may that's like underground crime syndicate fatui modern au or something and childe is a dancer.

The tsaritsa owns a club where they launder shit and the fatui can hang, maybe the dancers there are under her protection. Childe was taken in as an agent and moved up the ranks, but before he became a harbinger he saw the good money the dancers were making and wanted to take a shot at it, since he got into the criminal scene to get money for his family anyways. Then it turns out to be kind of fun and the fatui are always respectful bc the tsaritsa has them on a short leash and disrespect isn't tolerated. He enjoys the feeling, a different thrill from battle, but similar.

The man of the night is a gunner I named dalimil. It is his birthday! And he is at the club with his homies. He thinks they're just drinking and chillin, as most fatui in the club do tbh, but his friends (a vanguard and some sort of smalll skirmisher) get him a lap dance and it is with... childe!! WHO MAYBE IS ALSO THEIR BOSS? I haven't decided.

Now Dalimil is a fat guy. He's a gunner. And he's p chill but we all have insecurities ykno. So he's not super confident. Hes kind of body shy. But childe is like very comfortable in his body (it's a weapon, a tool that he has trained hard to be at its best so ofc he is proud. It's not even a like "I'm so attractive" it's literally just from how useful he's made himself) and he's not perfect either, like yes every playable character in genshin is pretty but flaws are fun so idk attach whatever flaws u want to childe. I like to give him discolored teeth and maybe they're crooked, has a gap. Basically I give him my teeth LOL. Some other stuff. Scars, etc.

So anyways they're in their private room and childe starts dancing for him, climbs onto his lap and he really has to like CLIMB bc this man is tall and one of his thighs is like the width of childe (pretending that the big skirmisher builds are not augmented and they're just actually that big. Some eremite enemies are v big and they don't have any visual hints of being augmented so let's say the body variety in teyvat just has an insane range LOL). Dalimil is very flustered by how small he makes the harbinger look on his leg man's is discovering his size kink. Even sitting on him childe still has to look up. And childe is tall! He's not tiny. But dalimil is also very conscious of his stomach touching the harbinger bc it comes out pretty far and he's like ahh man ykno like my friends put me up to this, does childe even like this, he's probably just acting, etc.

Childe plays eith the buttons of his top and sees dalimil kind of clamming up so he's like "wanna get comfortable and lose some layers?" And dalimil is like ahh hmm noo it's okay... and childe is like catching on now so he's like "you don't have to hide from me. I want to see. I'm here to make you feel good." But he doesn't like pressure him ykno if dalimil said no he'd be like sure its fine, but if he's open to talking about it then maybe they can work something out.

So maybe childe just opens his shirt slowly. Dancing and stuff while he does it, rubbing his hands over dalimils chest and through his hair. And honestly?? Now dalimil is getting worked up feeling childes body rub over his stomach sometimes while he dances like fucckkkk, the skinnier guys don't get that privilege you know? Ethically bypassing no touching rule. LOL. Anyways they both end up super into it and dalimil comes out of that room more assured that he is desirable now that he's gotten some proof :3.

Ofc u don't need proof to feel desirable but if you're insecure about it it is definitely helpful when it feels positive for you. Also yes, not every fat person is insecure, and not every fat character has to be written that way, but it's what I want for my fic as a fat person myself.

I also I have a playlist for this fic that I occasionally still add song to

If u don't have Spotify and want to listen let me know in replies or reblogs or tags and I will post a other source.

------------------------------------

I Don't know why I decided to torture myself by doing this but here we go:

1. 150,849

2. 52

3. And They Call It Salvation (TMFU/Unfinished)

4. House Telcontar (LoTR)

5. Oh… either my series The Fallout (Mission: Impossible), which was more of a self-indulgent thing tbh; or my long running Witcher fic, On the Streets Of Novigrad.

6. And Our Love Shall Be Like The Stars (TMFU)

7. The only times I have uses song lyrics (This being twice, and only for Good Omens fics) were The Velvet Underground and Lauren Aquilina.

8. Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin (Sometimes Gaby joins this tag). Second place goes to Ethan Hunt/August Walker. By ONE FIC!

9. Crowley/Aziraphale (Good Omens)

10. Scales and Secrets (TMFU) I think it took me two hours.

11. The Finer Act of Kindness (The Witcher.) Though there are a few others who come a close second…

12. about six or seven 😊

13. On The Streets of Novigrad (Witcher)  By a long shot.

14. If I Could Turn Back The Time (TMFU). At 588 words.

15. And They Call It Salvation (TMFU), Narnin O in Duath O Ernil (Middle-Earth) and On The Streets Of Novigrad (Witcher)

16. Napoleon Solo is a Little Shit. (Thank you, Writing GOD!!!)

17. Oh darn… tough one… Either Crowley or Illya/Napoleon…

18. Bruce Wayne. By far.

19. I’d like to do more Aziraphale/Crowley next year, but also to try and get back into Sherlock/John.

20. Eughhhh that’s an embarrassing question! …It would be, I Can’t Not Love You (TMFU)

21. 1,530

22. On The Streets of Novigrad (Witcher)

23. No, sadly 😊 But it’s on the Bucket List hehe

24. I did indeed! 4 of them!

25. No. Unless Kudos and Lovely comments count- I got plenty of those <3

26. Like Fandom? I’m confused. If it’s fandom then it’s Man From UNCLE 2015…

27. Dear lord- I have far too many playlists on Spotify- tailor made for almost every fic… So uh… Music?

28. At the moment it’s either We All Have Our Shadows (BvS), or Scales and Secrets (TMFU)

29. Blarghhhh why are these questions so HARD???

llya does too, but he is far from willing to offer that up. Now, in the stillness, Illya takes his first uninterrupted look at the man he has been looming over. The dark curls mattered with sweat and blood… eyes the color of a summer sky… O’ bozhe but Illya misses the sky… the way it would unspool in an endless ribbon over the city. In his memory, the buildings are untarnished, the clouds drifting on a slight breeze as a little boy runs amongst the leaves in a park, blond hair shining in the sunlight. Nothing has hurt him yet. Perhaps nothing ever will… if Illya does not blink.

30. Probably just how kind everyone is. The fandoms I belong to- especially The Man From UNCLE one- are just such wonderful people <3

[tenjiiku]

do u have any movie / song recs atm 🥰?? i wanna be inspired to write like you do... but not in that sense if ykwim haha!! i just really love the way you write !! so im looking for inspiration,, if thats okay with u ofc ☝️

Heyyy lol ofcc I love talking abt media I love! Tbh I do not watch a lot of movies but I do have a lot of book recs some of which have movie adaptations.

Movies/Books;

The Hunger Games series, Suzanne Collins. Katniss and Peeta invented love and romance. I can go on about these two forever, but I will simply mention the beach scene b/t them in Catching Fire. That changed me fundamentally, altered my brain chemistry permanently, etc etc. Also of course the critique on capitalism in a Western society and how despite the violence such a system can breed Love will ever and remain forever as long as hope prevails.

Strange Weather in Tokyo, Hiromi Kawakami. I love dialogue, and this story has so much of it. And also I adore stories of the mundane. The fact that the protagonist is a woman in her late 30s brings such a refreshing perspective on the woes and joys of life. I read this book last Fall when it was a particularly rough time for me and I was going through a lot of changes. This really grounded my feelings.

Norwegian Wood, Haruki Murakami. I know Murakami gets a lot of shit for how he writes female characters but I adore the female characters in this novel, particularly Naoko and Midori. I love how he describes their emotions through dialogue. It is so cut and dry at times it hits straight to my gut. The conclusion and resolution left me thinking for months.

Flowers for Algernon, Daniel Keyes. Until recently I just discovered this was a required reading in a lot of American schools, which was a surprise because I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and quite frankly most of my assigned readings in school were not as interesting. I really really really enjoyed learning more about the character of Charlie through diary entries. And how his style of writing changes as he goes through so many trials and tribulations to only end up back to where he started. Really a think piece for me.

Snow Country, Yasunari Kawabata. I absolutely adored the imagery in this novel. It also left me thinking for days, and I still cannot articulate myself properly to describe it. Wonderful read.

Bones and All, Camille DeAngelis. I hold Maren so near and dear to my heart. The idea of using cannibalism as an allegory for coming-of-age brings such a unique and powerful perspective to girlhood, something I had been searching for in so many novels but never quite received. Maren and Lee’s relationship is both sweet and tragic. The movie is also wonderful.

All About Lily Chou Chou. I first watched this movie when I was 14 or 15, which I should not have done lol. Its subject matters are so dark, and I feel so badly for all the female characters in this movie. The message it sends is so simple, but the cinematography is both beautiful and haunting.

Artists/Songs;

Ethel Cain. By far my number one inspo lol. I do not use Spotify regularly besides to create playlists but I feel like she would be my number one listened to. I adore her ep Inbred, particularly the songs Michelle Pfeiffer and Crush. They are such yearning songs, and describe how I love so so personally. Of course, Preacher’s Daughter is a masterpiece of an album. Strangers and Family Tree are my favourites

Mitski. I honestly do not know how to express how much of an influence she has been on everything I produce. I’ve raved about her so much. Puberty 2 will always, always, always be the soundtrack to my highschool life lol it is honestly concerning how much I was listening to her in year 9. Bury me at makeout creek will always inspire me to write romance. It just gets me into the mood to both drown and create.

Gracie Abrams. I love the simplicity of her lyrics, and some of my works are written honestly based on one lyric that I might find out stuck out to me for many of her things. I find her music so universal and open to interpretation, and I love that! I think that it leaves a lot of room to think, it can apply to so many people and touch so many topics. I particularly love songs from the deluxe version of her album Good Riddance (405, Two People, Unsteady) I listened to Two People writing the hanshin expressway lol.

Beabadoobee. I love Beatrice, I have been listening to her for so long. I love how she is so expressive with all of her songs and genres and lyrics. Honestly, I love her entire discography. Like I do not think I do not have a song of hers I skip.

Japanese Breakfast. I love Michelle. Her songs all feel like warm hugs! And also some of them want to make me dance! I listened to her so much taking the train home back from uni when I needed a pick me up lol.

[miidnightpoet]

ISTG it’s almost five am here! My phone is at 15% and I’m no where near being asleep

To be totally honest I’ve been reading mini fics on here for like two hours but STILL!

The chokehold this app has on me now Jesus Christ

It’s like my brain is all like “sleep, we should probably sleep”

Now that I’m typing this I just realized I never took my sleep meds

I am such a fuckin dumbass and when I did this last weekend I slept till like two pm Urgh I’m gonna be so dead tmrw

I’ll prolly just chug a Peace Tea, a can of coke (the pop not the drug (don’t do drugs(except the drug of Stranger Things and Fanfiction those are the only acceptable ones)) and like a mug of caffeinated tea. Tbh it seems to work most days.

Well I’m off to take my sleep shit and fall asleep to Steve Harrington telling me I’m being paranoid (it’s an ambiance thing I found on Spotify, I have an entire playlist of ones that I use to fall asleep as well as ones that are just comforting to hear especially when having anxiety attacks, I’ll add a a screen shot hold on)

Alright I’m back

I really do recommend the podcast that these are uploaded on (also on YouTube) but the ones on the is playlist are my favourite I thinks it’s public imma check

It wasn’t public but now it is here’s a link if you want to use it, it is super relaxing. Sometimes I pretend that

God one of my in person friends follows this account, you know who you are you can’t judge me it’s a coping skill

Anyway sometimes I sit in my room, on my bed fairy lights on and pretend I’m actually there with whatever character the ambiance is about. I’ve listend to a bunch of these so many times I know the first lines of Dialoge by heart.

I should probably sleep now here’s the link

If I remember I’ll let you know how I sleept

[david-watts]

1, 31, and 44?

1: who are your comfort characters? well I guess my comfort characters would be the characters from the bits of media I find comfort in the most. so that would be five/adric/tegan/nyssa/turlough, skyward sword's link, and I know this sounds childish but I have to include stepney the bluebell engine from the railway series book of the same name. just because it's been like. twenty years of me going '!!' over him

31: what type of music keeps you grounded? hold on I'll just. link two incomplete spotify playlists of the cassettes my dad made for me when I was eight. embarrassment about some of the stuff I grew up listening to aside, these won't ever be finished because some of the songs I have yet to identify or aren't anywhere to be found aside from one singular shit quality youtube upload.

1 (A: beatles 1962-1966, B: miscellaneous 1950s-1980s)

2 (A: miscellaneous 1950s-1960s, radio ads, B: miscellaneous 1950s-1960s)

44: you get a free pass to kill anyone, who is it? tricky to choose just one, tbh. mostly because the people I'd think to kill I would rather see tortured/getting tastes of their own medicine for their actions. y'know it's a bit of a copout imo but el*n m*sk by giving him an explosive collar like in that one bank heist

anyway!! thank you for asking!! these definitely made me stop and think and that's good lmao

[grenadineghost]

hello june >:) gimme your top 5, 56, 69, and 101!! (or just pick the ones that most appeal i know that’s a lot LOL)

YESS oh i love to talk about my music hehe

Mos Thoser by food house, Gupi, Fraxiom

i wasnt expecting this song to be this high up! i think its here bc its cheshire's theme song and according to spotify i listened to it the most in one day on the day i drew faer ref sheet. i love this song's like... revolving chaos. its such a fun hyperpop with this distinct motion to it? idk it bops! and is so fun for cheshire :3

2. Why Am I In This Room? by Soupy Garbage Juice

huh this was the year of metamorphosis! cause this is an emilie song! i LOVE the vibes here of like... your brain not functioning properly. and somehow the synths used are PERFECT for that feeling!! it's just such emilie vibes of this weird etheral world-distorting brain fog.

3. money machine by 100 gecs

fuck yeah. fuck yeah. gotta love the gecs. this is a LOT of characters to me tbh but i think i listened to it the most bc its a michiko song? i love the weird dreamy anger and hatred and violence in this song, its really powerful. songs that make me want to stab someone :3 it also doubles as an ella song and a claire song (though rip claire, idk if im gonna be able to post that story)

4. Sometimes by Nick Lutsko

was not expecting this to make the top 20, let alone top 5 tbh! but it bops! found it through stan's playlist for captain nat and listened to it while drawing her, then it became an annie song. it also is an awmittn song (story claire's from) so. rip that again. also my acting class read and watched and performed stuff from everybody by branden jacobs-jenkins and this went on my playlist for that, though i dont think i ever actually made it on spotify. a song with a thousand playlists...

5. If Day for Winnipeg by They Might Be Giants

this does not sound like the type of song thatd be in a top 5 list but its just. infectious. so weird and creepy and has this weird droning synth thats TERRIFYING. its this very weird haunted-children's-song-vibe-thing about terror and war and something implied to have gone Wrong and. this is all to say it's on annie's playlist ok

56. Alligator Sky - no rap version by Owl City

kira song kira song kira song!! havent actually listened in a while but its such a kira song to me hehe. and because i associate it with her it landed on my playlist for origin story, my playwriting final! listened to it a LOT while writing that. huh i should go back and revise that now that its had some time to settle in my mind. anyways. space and superheroes and freedom and flight and kira and powerpoint :3 where ecstasy becomes cavalier!

69. 4Blood by KIRA with Hatsune Miku

miku moment :3 honestly i dont associate this w many characters? its on my pluto playlist but might not always be, its just kinda there for fun kinda goth vibes. almost all my music conjures stories and characters and specific feelings for me but sometimes its just hatsune miku vampire. it genuinely does bop so hard though holy shit

101. Right to Die by AlicebanD

yes!! idk if i associate this with any characters that strongly but it def fits ella :3 anger and rage and despair.... i dont normally care that much about drums in music but aliceband songs are just. down to the drums everything is so powerful and moves me along and its so good! dark and ominous and angry :3 also fuck this was an awmittn song too. im never gonna stop talking about awmittn bittersweetly huh, its my white whale

Anakin Leery

GET TO KNOW THE ACCOUNT !!

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TAKE THIS MUSE?

I guess I’ll answer these questions for Anakin since he’s the chosen child. He came about a few months back as a result of me having watched Stranger Things & Obi-Wan Kenobi at pretty much the same time? At first he was essentially my way of writing Eddie without actually writing Eddie but because of some amazing first threads with him, he quickly developed past that. 

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ASPECTS OF YOUR CURRENT MUSE?

I love how complicated he is. Anakin is really fucked up. But also the most fun person you’ll ever meet? He’s super against bullshitting and doing what others want yet got into the habit of kind of doing exactly that since he’s afraid of showing sadness? My dude doesn’t make a lot of sense and I find that very interesting to write. Walking contradiction ha. 

WHO’S YOUR CURRENT FC?

Joseph Quinn. Specifically from Stranger Things since Anakin has long hair (I’ve used other gifs at times though I try not to). A lot of my muses come from Stranger Things though, whoops. Usually I choose FCs based on whatever I’m into at the moment, or like favourite shows/movies/musicians. Sometimes I won’t know anything about the person though and will see them and be instantly inspired (ie: Talia Ryder ha). 

WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING?

Lately a combo between Pinterest & Spotify. Ever since a lovely friend reccomended Pinterest to me for muse building, holy shit has it been an inspiration. Sometimes I don’t know WHO a muse is until I start working on their board and then boom they become so real to me. I also make character playlists that I build onto as I listen to my music. 

FAVORITE TYPES OF THREADS?

I love everything, can’t lie. Major sucker for domestic, slice-of-life shit (engagements? YES! BABIES? FUCK YES). Or stuff that makes me cry IRL while reading/writing it. Or anything supernatural in nature.

My Banana Fish HCs

These are my personal headcanons, totally valid if you don’t agree, just don’t attack me. 😂

List could be expanded on some, but these are a list of my HCs as they stand right now!

Ash • Eiji • Shorter (more characters could be added later, we’ll see!)

——

Ash:

—Ace due to trauma which is 1,000% valid. Biromantic

—BIG Nirvana fan

—Collects music in any physical format he can get his hands on. Vinyl records, CDs, even cassette tapes.

—He listens to music LOUD. Fucking blasts it, always. That shit is cleansing.

—PTSD, obviously. Music helps. So does Eiji. And… journaling, but don’t tell anybody.

—Can remember things very far back and has several childhood memories with Griffin from before he went off to war

—Can’t make much more than boxed Mac and Cheese tbh. Thinks American-style ramen is fine cuisine

—“What the fuck”

—Eiji introduces him to journal-writing to help with his PTSD. He writes it off as unnecessary, but continues journaling in secret.

—Has tried Many drugs in his life, but he doesn’t like any of them. Doesn’t like, can’t fucking stand, the vulnerable state they put him in, and the feeling of getting high freaks him out. Same with drinking. Shorter understands.

—Flannel and overall ‘90s grunge aesthetic

Eiji:

—Unlabeled

—Broken English sometimes

—“Ash-u”

—Is literally a JOCK, would have been a jock in high school, what the F U C K

—Gets excited about new TikTok dances every other week and makes Ash try them with him

—Excellent cook when he’s not trying to add natto to everything

—Introduces Ash to journal-writing to help with his PTSD. Ash writes it off as unnecessary, but continues journaling in secret.

—Has literally never tried any sort of drugs in his life, marijuana included, so when he gets high with Shorter for the first time it’s a fucking EXPERIENCE

—Doesn’t drink caffeine a whole lot, but when he does it hits him HARD, holy shit. Fucking bouncing off the walls

—Not only is fall his favorite season, but he 1,000% throws himself into all of the “basic” fall things, pumpkin spice and fall fashion aesthetics included. And, teasing Ash about pumpkins is a surprising, but very delightful, bonus.

—Photographs everything. Favorite social media is Instagram and he actually has a decent following. But, he never posts anything with Ash without his permission, and most of the pictures that go up on IG don’t include Ash’s face.

—Ash’s eyes have always been compared to Jade. It’s even in his name. But, that association is tainted by Dino and his men, and the more Ash hears somebody say his eyes are like Jade, the more he hates it. (Especially when it comes to older men making the comparison, for obvious reasons).

Eiji, too, thinks Ash’s eyes are beautiful. But, he doesn’t compare them to Jade. No.

He tells Ash that his eyes are like evergreen.

Wild, beautiful, and free.

Shorter:

—Pansexual af

—Founder of the Ash Lynx Deserves Better Club and would do literally anything in the world for his best friend

—Weed

—Favorite color is purple. Duh.

—Has a music collection that rivals Ash’s, but his are mostly CDs and digital

—Creates the most nonsensical Spotify playlists ever. Makes about 90% of them when he’s high

—misread Eiji’s name as “EJ” once and still calls him EJ as a joke. “Edward Jacob like in Twilight.”

—Fuck yeah he’s watched all the Twilight movies. Not much of a reader though. Team Jacob just because werewolves are cool. (But his favorite character overall is Emmett)

—“There he is! There’s my favorite white boy!” every single time Ash walks into the room

2, 5 and 8!

Thanks for asking 🥰 prepare for word vomit because I over explain everything lol

2. Who’s your least favourite to write?

Hmm idk. Like, from their POV or just as a character within the story? I’ll answer both lol

POV wise: I don’t write from the POV of characters I don’t like/won’t have fun exploring, so I have to give a hypothetical answer for this one 😅

I’d have to say Vi or Silco from Arcane - I have nothing to say from their POVs & I don’t think I ever will. I don’t wish to rummage around in their brains & figure out how to write them in a way that feels right to me & would whine about it if, for some wild reason, I ever had to lol

Character hanging out in the story wise: tbh probably just side or filler characters, like when you’re writing a restaurant scene & you have to include dialogue for some random waiter or something. The characters that don’t contribute to the story but have to be there for the world building, y’know? They’re wallpaper; not usually that fun to write.

5. What’s the easiest thing to write for you?

I don’t think writing is ever easy, but I know something’s working for me when I can get into the flow for it fairly quickly & don’t sit there overthinking every sentence. At the moment the project I’m vibing with & breezing through the most is my Flashbomb fic, but my brain never really settles on one project for too long so who knows how long that will last lol

In terms of genres/topics/characters I find easiest to write, right now it’s gotta be anything Jinx related lol that fixation isn’t going anywhere soon! It comes naturally to me to write characters like her, and when something feels natural it’s ofc gonna be a lot easier to do because you don’t have to go through the slog of convincing your brain to do it 🤓

8. What songs do you listen to get in the writing mood?

This varies a shit ton depending on what I’m writing, whose POV it is, etc etc (I have like 60 Spotify playlists 😂) but right now, considering the project I’m most focused on is my Flashbomb fic, I’ve got the playlist I made for it on repeat pretty much nonstop lol

A lil taster:

Hetalia Characters and Their Music Tastes

I’ve been in the hetalia fandom for like a year now and I stg thinking abt what these bitches listen to NEVER gets old

no warnings

will feature mostly modern day music, like 1950s-2010s

I don’t know a lot of artists that don’t sing in English so there’s probably A LOT that I’m missing on here, not even including shit from like the 1800s

The Allies

Alfred:

Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood, The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, Crazy In Love by Beyoncé

- Listens to basically everything, but particular fond of like 80s rock and early 2000s shit

- Likes country music bc ofc he does, a huge fan of Carrie Underwood, Sam Hunt, and The Band Perry

- Got his love of rock from England 💀 Especially during the like the 60s-80s when Queen, The Beatles, and Elton John really popular

- They really only bond over their love for this period of music lmao like they would absolutely go ape during karaoke

- He loves more mainstream artists like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, all those iconic mfs

- Probably enjoys old wartime music just for nostalgias sake. Shit from the 40s and he listens to Civil War tunes (Union Dixie lmao)

- Definitely listens to musicals and forces Ivan to as well. His favorites are Hamilton, Hairspray, and Chess

- LOVES LOVES LOVES The Backstreet Bogs holy shit. This man had a whole phase where he dressed like they did. Don’t even dare play I Want It That Way because he WILL sing along

- Speaking of which he’s actually a really good singer, like he probably used to sing at clubs and shit back in the day

- It’s very specific but I imagine his voice to sound like Taron Egerton’s cover of “Crocodile Rock” by Elton John

Arthur:

Killer Queen by Queen, Set Fire to the Rain by Adele, Tiny Dancer by Elton John

- Old man who had a weird punk phase in the 90s. Definitely listens to The Beatles and Gorillaz

- Like I said, he and Alfred bond over Queen and Elton and Bon Jovi and FUCKING Michael Jackson

- Refuses to admit he really likes Elvis

- Oh boy. He had so much fun in like late 2000s and early 2010s— Panic at the Disco, MCR, Green Day, he absolutely got his ears pierced during this time

- Doesn’t listen to like current mainstream music that much he will sob to Adele and probably really likes the Cry Baby album by Melanie Martinez.

- Francis plays so much Lady Gaga in the car that at this point he really likes her music

- He likes Ed Sheeran I am so sorry </3 and he absolutely gets bullied for it

- He can sing too honestly? I know I just said he listens to Ed Sheeran but I honestly think he kinda sounds like him too just maybe a little deeper

- Listen to Galway Girl and you’ll get a basic idea of what I imagine he sounds like

Ivan:

Dance and Cry by Mother Mother, Baby One More Time by Britney Spears, смерти Больше нет by IC3PEAK

- Speaking of the 90s he went absolutely fucking ape during this time. The USSR wasn’t very big on western music but when it fell there was a HUGE influx of it and suddenly like it was just his favorite thing ever

- Alfred also got him into Carrie Underwood, literally lost of his music taste comes from Alfred forcing him to listen to shit

- During the 70s/80s he got really into Fleetwood Mac and Aerosmith, maybe even a little bit of disco but not a lot

- Went to a club with Al a few times and he won’t ever forget dancing to Footloose by Kenny Loggins at like one in the morning and having the absolute time of his life, easily one of his favorite memories

- Like I get so soft thinking about him just letting loose and actually having fun, even though he was very stiff and shit during the 1900s

- He can’t sing LMAO but my friend and I said once that he could lowkey rap really well and now it’s all I think about

Francis:

- HOWEVER she does really enjoy softer sounding music. Edith Piaf, Louis Armstrong, and Vera Lynn are favorites of his

- Listens to the Les Mis soundtrack like once a month

- REALLY REALLY loves Hozier, like a whole lot. He’s probably one of his favorite artists along with Sufjan Stevens

- Even more of his homo playlist includes Marina, Madonna and Troye Sivan

- Bullies Arthur for liking Ed Sheeran but he also really likes Ed Sheeran, just refuses to admit it

- Stromae ofc 🙄🤚 can’t just not include like the most popular French musician or whatever

- He can also sing but he sounds kinda raspy, it’s nice tho

Yao:

- Likes listening to Elvis because it makes him happy to see Alfred having fun

- Feli also introduces him to a lot of music but he can never fucking remember the names of the songs or artists

- He hums a lot rather than sings, and it’s really soft and gentle

If anybody wants any more characters lmk bc I love coming up with these, also I do have playlists for these bitches 😎✌️ Spotify is in my linktree (bio)

[ziggyzagreus]

do you have a favorite piece of music from the game? what about a favorite level? (tartarus, asphodel, etc.)

OOH this is such a good one!!!

Music is really important to me, as well as one of my favorite parts of the game, so I don’t have a particular favorite, there are so many things I like about each piece. I will list the ones that actually made me stop and listen the first time I heard them, though!!

I also listen to these when I write and study 😳 I have an entire Hades-themed playlist on Spotify that includes the actual OST as well as songs I listen to that make me think of the characters...

Anyways!

The opening title, “No Escape.” The first time I heard it was when I opened the game and I almost crapped myself, it was so cool. Every time I open the game, I always have to wait till 00:08 for that first base line because that shit hits differenttttt at 2 am on weekends which is when I play this game. 10/10 good shit.

“Lament of Orpheus,” the first song we hear Orpheus actually sing... It’s so beautiful, and I’ve always personally loved the actual myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, so hearing that in such a haunting tune tugged at my heartstrings in a particular way. I’ve heard some people find Orpheus’ voice annoying???? But I really love it. It sounds like mist. It’s terrifying in such a heartbreaking way and very fitting for his character.

“From Olympus,” or better known as “that song that plays when you find Patroclus and he’s muttering about his lost husband.” I love the cadence of this piece because it’s very fitting of Patroclus’ vibes - it’s downtrodden, paced and methodical, there’s a tune to living in it, but it lacks any jarring beats that the other tracks have. I feel like it really encapsulates Patroclus’ dead inside vibes and I love that for him tbh. Very mellow, very chill, very soothing in my opinion.

“Good Riddance,” both Eurydice’s solo version as well as the duet with Orpheus. Again, the first time I heard it, I was absolutely stunned that they had like - good songs with lyrics in this game, so I just stood outside her door for 2 minutes to hear the whole thing. Every time I meet Eurydice I stay to listen to her song before going inside. If you guys can’t tell from my Icarus OC Fic, Eurydice is one of my favorite characters because of how motherly and calming she is. I feel so safe in her presence, and that’s not an exaggeration - even IRL I get a sense of peace when hearing her sing. This song is also in my Crying playlist on Spotify, as it hit me in a personal emotional spot as well as a Good OST spot.

“Final Expense” holy shit, Charon’s theme HITS DIFFERENT. It has like - a dual effect on me. On one hand, I get the same feeling from it as I do Eurydice’s song - I feel very safe and content listening to that tune, and I feel very safe in Charon’s shop. This piece is in one of my “so you’re crying about school and need to calm down and feel safe” playlists, it’s just got that wholesome effect on me. But it also makes me want to go fuck around in a Spencer’s store with my friends, or go to an arcade, and I love that too.

“Final Expense (Payback Mix)” AKA Charon Drip. That shit hits so hard. I love it so fucking much and I fucking love fighting Charon in Erebus anywaysssssss

“Hymn to Zagreus,” if you guys can’t tell, I love Orpheus’ voice so much... and I love the legend of Zagreus anyways!! This song is just so fucking cool and brings so much new edge to the story and Zagreus’ origin (as well as his connection to Dionysus like holy heck aahHHHhhhHHhhHh) i love it sooo much

“Last Words” I LOVE THANATOS SO MUCH. The first time I heard his voice I had to put down the game to process how much I loved him, and so I associate his theme very much with that experience. I love the harpsichord in it, and how the theme itself is very different compared to the other tracks - it has a lot more modern instrumentation, as well as just a generally different and more dangerous, energizing vibe to it and I love that so so so so so much.

“The King and the Bull” I don’t have much to say on this except Theseus and Asterius is my favorite boss fight so I just love this track haha

“On the Coast” I just.... I cried the first time I reached the surface and once again, I associate this tune with that experience. And the sunrise and the snow, just... wow. Just wow, you know? Also I can’t tell if that’s an oboe or an English Horn but I think it’s an english horn - either way I love double-reeded instruments. (Or if it’s a soprano sax then good on them, I have so much respect for sop sax players)

“In the Blood” is just.... so good. And Orpheus and Eurydice duetting hits me in the feelings so hard. I also love this song because it brings so much explanation to the game as a whole, like - Zagreus is the fucking life of the Underworld and that has SO many deep connotations that I have pages on pages of headcanons/thoughts written out about... it’s so cool... wow. Just wow, you know? Also that lyric “Run all you like from the place you belong...” is such a haunting line, it just - wow. Wow. WOW.

I realize I just went on a full rant about most of those pieces to the point that I just started typing “wow” to make up for not having words, but music is very very important to me so I think about it way too much... Anywaysssss.

As for your second question, I do have a favorite level!! Elysium!!

Tartarus is really fun for me because it’s not very hard, and I can just smash through all of the chambers... Asphodel is SO irritating because of the magma, and there’s this one chamber that is literally ONLY witches and it has island terrain and the witches always float out over the magma, so you can’t get to them unless you go out there and it’s just SO FRUSTRATING. I love the aesthetic of Asphodel but hate playing it.

And I hate the Temple of Styx just because of stupid poison and stupid rats. It’s just - not my bag. 

Elysium though!!! It’s bright, it’s pretty, it’s super challenging with the levels of foes you face there, and I love seeing Pat and I love fighting Theseus and Asterius!!! I love Elysium so much... ALSO I love seeing my Good Shade!!! Every time!!!! My love....

Thank you so much for the ask, this was super fun!!!!
