What are songs that remind you of different ZR characters and why?

Simon

Look me in the eye and tell me Pansexual King Simon wouldn’t absolutely devour anything by Chappell Roan.

(This turned out to be a massive post featuring all the zr themed music videos/music fics I imagine during my runs so the rest is below the cut to save space pfft)

Five/Sara

This always feels S1/S2 vibes for me. Very much as if Five is finding their feet as a runner, but the army Sargent-esque voice reminds me of Sara training them up. The chorus especially feels very much like Five’s whole mindset towards being a runner, and reflects the pressure they put on themselves to do their best for Abel. Sara’s voice and instruction echoes back to them when they need it.

Sam

Okay, not so much the main verses, but the chorus for this one. This is pure 5am vibes for me. Very much - well the fic (I will probably never write) features a lot of Sam and Five sort of pining after each other but being scared as fuck to go for it because - well, it’s the apocalypse. It feels very much like the moment they make it ‘official’, they’ll be doomed so one or both of them will die. So, purely for the sake of superstition, they never actually decide they’re ‘together’. They never say ‘I love you’ or even say the word ‘goodbye’ before runs. They smooch and are affectionate and are a couple in every sense of the word, but they’re not at the same time. They very much hide their affections from everyone. If anyone asks, they’re just friends. Best friends.

Everyone figures out they’re a thing eventually, because it’s hard to hide their favouritism, but they still deny it, claim ignorance, and hide it. (Jody in particular is extremely furious about their not-relationship.)

So the song gives me Sam vibes, because Sam is watching Five survive against all odds, and is willing to wait for the end of the apocalypse before telling them how he feels if it means keeping Five safe.

All Abel Runners

This isn’t really about anyone in particular, but the fact that it’s about working out always gives me Abel runners training montage vibes.

Five - honourable mention!

I added this 3 days after answering everything else because it came up on my playlist.

I made an animatic of this ages ago (barely an animatic) but whilst ‘Wait for It’ is Sam’s song for Five, this is Five’s song to Sam. They’re mute, and 100% are proud of that and refuse to be ‘fixed’. Stubborn baby went through so many speech therapy sessions as a child where they sat with their arms crossed like >:T until the professionals gavr up and helped them learn BSL instead. Yet sometimes they wished they had the words to show Sam how much they care.

It wouldn’t let me add the original animatic as I’ve already got the Simon one above, but here’s the link, and the song.

Continuing with procreate portraits of ZR characters with Jody! Precious, precious Jody. I treasure her.
