I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND BY THE BEATLES

track 1: the opening track

picture the mini credits/ introduction at the beginning of a classic rom-com movie. usually its scenery and/or brief, 1 second scenes complied together to give the viewer a sense of direction.

for you are in love, I picture that kind of style — but the movie realistically wouldn’t start like the fic. in the writing, you’re thrown right into the story—finding out matthew is coming to live with you and your family. but in a movie I would want that to be different.

I picture the reader perhaps rushing through the arena, needing to get back home and edit some footage. a montage clip of her moving through the arena, dodging people as she makes her way through the space—and that’s where she runs into matthew knies.

the two would look at one another—maybe he steadies her before she falls—and he briefly recognizes her from the filming she’d been doing earlier on the ice. there’s an unspoken moment there, before the reader rushes away with a quick apology. leading into her going home, getting settled and then answering the call from john about matthew coming to live with them. that’s brings you right up to the beginning of the book.

I like the overall vibes of this song, and I would choose it to play throughout the beginning montage scene of this movie. right after the reader learns matthew is coming to live with her and her brothers family, you see her shocked/nervous face and then the title screen pops up—the song coming to its full tilt before ending.

LOVE BY LANA DEL REY

track 2

you and matthew are in the car, chatting casually on your way to the coffee shop. the day is dreary, adding to the ambiance of the city. inside the car is warm and a little foggy, and you’re stealing glances at matthew as he drives.

this song is playing through the radio—shuffled on your playlist—creating a soft sound in the background of the scene. there’d be sweet laughter and more secretive looks at one another, which I feel sets up that romantic, lovey dovey vibe this story has.

CORNELIA STREET BY TAYLOR SWIFT

track 3

this song would play on two separate occasions. the first of the two begins gently—you and matthew getting back into the car after collecting the coffees from the store. your phone begins to play this song, the begging instrumentals in the background of the scene. matthew brings up the idea of a taylor swift themed question for your work—which is a good idea.

the second time, although still related to the taylor swift question, happens during that actual scene. you’ve been asking the players what their favourite taylor swift song is with your mini microphone, and when matthew comes over to you (in a surge if jealousy) and you ask him his favourite, he says cornelia street.

both times you hear this song, it is only the instrumentals.

as well, matthew said you were in you lover era—and this song is from that album, adding to it all.

GLUE SONG BY BEABADOOBEE

track 4

matthew keeps glancing over at you, both of you only illuminated by the movie playing on the tv. the movie is heard in the background, kate and matthew’s distinctive lines playing out.

matthew and you are at that point of crushing where you want to spend every waking moment with one another—despite your stomachs swimming in nerves.

as you and matthew begin to tease one another, the movie sound is replaced with this song, playing gently in the background.

LOVERS BY ANNA OF THE NORTH

track 5

matthew and you are in the locker room after his injury. there’s a soft moment, one that includes the beginning of the relationship between you.

in the conversation, as the vibe starts to shift and matthew begins to crack jokes the song would start—the beginning instrumentals.

the chorus of the songs hits as soon as matthew and you kiss, continuing into the rest of the scene—including when they’re are texting one another later that night.

this is one of my favourite movie esq songs and the upbeat, lovey vibes are what I feel would hold best with this first kiss scene.

MIDNIGHT LOVE BY GIRL IN RED

track 6

I don’t have a specific scene tied to this song—not in the fic anyways. I picture this song playing after matthew and you have a talk in the kitchen, essentially established what is going on between you.

obviously he’s going back to arizona for a few weeks, so for this song I picture a set group of scenes, going between matthew in arizona and you and toronto—sharing texts and facetimes.

the song has that vibe of secret/forbidden relationship that I feel really portrays the secrecy between you.

FALLIN IN YOU BY COLBIE CAILLAT

track 7

another song without a specific scene, but rather a group of scenes. this cute and upbeat love song would play throughout a variety of scenes, including; getting the mail together, sneaking in each others rooms at night, kissing behind everyone’s backs, sex, coffee runs, answering questions with the team, looking across the room at one another—flirting without words.

this song is one i’ve always loved—believing it to be an anthem for this fic.

this song would continue into the shower scene, where matthew and you are soaping each other up, giggling and kissing—but, the song would abruptly stop when aryne knocks on the door. the abrupt stop translates to your and matthew’s shock, not expecting your sister-in-law to be home yet.

UNIVERSE BY KELSEA BALLERINI

track 8

you and aryne have cooked dinner (after you practically getting caught with matthew in the bathroom) and just when you thought you’re in the clear, aryne calls you out.

you’re both on the couch, cuddling under the blankets when she tells you that she knows. at first you’re emotional—panicked—scared that everything will be ruined.

but she reassures you that it’s okay, and she would never spill the beans if you didn’t want her too.

I chose this song specifically to play after aryne says, “y/n, he looks at you like you created the universe—like you could do no wrong. and you look at him the exact same. I just knew.”

this beautiful love ballad would begin to play during this scene, softly in the background as the conversation progresses—continuing as matthew takes you up to bed.

WE FELL IN LOVE IN OCTOBER BY GIRL IN RED

track 9

matthew’s birthday scene, although in the fic is a little more raunchy, would be different in the movie—sweet and cuddly. essentially the same conversation that leads up to the blowjob, but just skipping over that part in a film—perhaps just alluding to that.

the instrumentals of this song would make another appearance—playing when matthew tells you that you’re his best friend after your little tiff. this is one of my favourite moments in the books, and I feel the music of this song perfectly captures the essence of the scenes.

ITS BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE CHISTMAS BY MICHAEL BUBLE

track 10

christmas has approached in the story. the beginning instrumentals of this song would start near the end of the previous scene—which was john telling matthew and you that he’s okay with your being together. so the vibes are up!

you and matthew are at the christmas market, shopping for family and this song is playing through the scene, transitioning to the background as you and matthew begin to talk.

this is the scene where you see the snow globe you love—which eventually you open on christmas morning.

YOU ARE IN LOVE BY TAYLOR SWIFT

track 11

the final scene of the story—christmas morning and you’ve just opened your snow globe from matthew. the beginning chords start playing in the background, gradually building as the scene comes to a close.

in that moment you feel seen—you are in love.

a call back to the beginning of the story when matthew and you are on your way to tim hortons, discussing you’re respective taylor swift eras. as previously discussed, yours is lover—hence cornelia street. matthew says his is 1989–hence the title of the fic.

Be My Baby

Nanami Kento x Black plus size reader

(I was kinda inspired by the song to do this)

It was one of those rare afternoons when Kento worked from home, his neatly organized desk covered with papers and spreadsheets. You had tiptoed around the house all morning, knowing how seriously he took his work. But the quiet was suffocating by lunchtime, and you couldn’t take it anymore.

Humming to yourself, you fiddled with your speaker, scrolling through your playlist until you found the perfect song. A smile spread across your face as the first notes began to play, the unmistakable rhythm of the drums echoing through the living room.

The night we met, I knew I needed you sooooo

The lyrics filled the air, and you couldn’t resist. Twirling around in your oversized t-shirt and shorts, you danced across the room, your curls bouncing as you sang along.

Kento, seated at the dining table just a few feet away, paused mid-typing. His brow furrowed, and he glanced over his shoulder, his gaze landing on you spinning like you didn’t have a care in the world.

And if I had the chance, I'd never let you go

Your voice was slightly off-key, but it didn’t matter. You clutched an invisible microphone in your hands, dramatically lip-syncing the next line.

So won’t you say you love me? I’ll make you so proud of me

“Y/N,” Kento called, his tone exasperated but soft.

You ignored him, swaying closer until you were right in front of him. With a playful grin, you grabbed his hand and tugged. “C’mon, Kento! Just one dance!”

“Absolutely not,” he replied, though the smallest smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

We’ll make 'em turn their heads every place we go

As the beat picked up, you grabbed both his hands, encouraging him to sway with you. His movements were stiff at first, but as your giggles filled the air, Kento let himself relax.

“There you go!” you cheered, beaming up at him.

For a moment, he forgot about the spreadsheets and the endless emails waiting for him. Watching you laugh and spin, your joy lighting up the entire room, Kento couldn’t help but chuckle. He gave in, pulling you close and twirling you with surprising grace.

So won’t you please (Be my, be my baby) Be my little baby

You threw your head back against him, laughing and pointing your finger toward the ceiling in time with the lyrics. Kento chuckled low in his throat, a sound that made your stomach flip.

(My one and only baby) Say you’ll be my darling

As the song crooned on, you leaned into him fully, letting his strong arms steady you as you exaggerated your hip sways, laughing each time he grumbled about being dragged into your “antics.”

(Be my, be my baby) Be my baby now

By the time the second verse began, you were twirling away from him again, clapping and dramatically acting out every word.

I’ll make you happy, baby, just wait and see

You paused mid-step, turning toward him with your hands on your hips and a playful pout. “C’mon, Kento, I know you wanna sing this part with me!”

Kento raised a brow. “Absolutely not.”

“Oh, you’re no fun!” you groaned, grabbing his hand and pulling him into another spin.

For every kiss you give me, I’ll give you three

“Keep pulling me like that, and you’re going to trip over yourself,” he muttered, his hand tightening on yours.

Oh, since the day I saw you, I have been waiting for you

You ignored him, twirling dramatically, the hem of your oversized t-shirt flying up slightly. Kento caught the flash of skin at your waist and immediately steadied you with both hands, muttering under his breath about how reckless you were.

You know I will adore you 'til eternity

Your laughter bubbled up again, the sound sweeter than the song itself.

When the chorus repeated, Kento surprised you.

Without a word, he pulled you flush against him, holding your body close to his as he swayed lightly to the beat. You gasped, then giggled, looking up at him with wide eyes. “Kento!”

“What?” he replied, his expression soft as his hands rested on the plush curve of your hips. “You wanted me to dance, didn’t you?”

The warmth of his voice sent a shiver down your spine, and for a moment, you stopped moving. His fingers gently trailed up your sides, his palms brushing over your soft waist. “Keep going,” he murmured.

Your grin returned in full force as the music swelled.

So won’t you please (Be my, be my baby) Be my little baby

You finished the song nestled against his chest, his steady movements guiding yours. When the music faded, you turned to look up at him, your breath still coming in quick bursts from all the dancing.

“That wasn’t so bad, right?” you asked cheekily, resting your hands on his chest.

Kento's lips curved into a small smile. “If it makes you happy, it’s worth it.”

Your heart melted at his words, and you leaned up to kiss him, your soft lips meeting his in a way that made his arms tighten around your waist.

“Best dance partner ever,” you whispered.

“Don’t push it,” he teased, but the warmth in his gaze said otherwise.

I feel like animating something

But the only idea i have is silly, maybe I should do something for an OC?

I ALSO want to draw some people at school but i can never see their face properly!! I only see the back of their head :< I cant wait for next semester where i can start taking art classes, but thats if i’ll even have room

Apparently for graphic design you need to take two lab classes! Bonkers i know! I didn’t know that, but i also think that’s required for any degree

I might take forensics cause I know (at least I think i know) that class is a lab (or its just a dissecting class, but im 88% positive the door said “forensics�� because its in the criminal justice wing! I will need to check tomorrow)

[crow-of-paradise]

On the subject of rookolas/solrook I got to the end of act 2 last night (as may seem obvious based on my last reaction lmao) and they didn’t need to animate this like this:

But I am so grateful they did 😏

Scandalous even among the utter destruction of my heart happening throughout the rest of this sequence.

It’s the day after and I’ve still not fully digested or accepted that varric was dead THIS WHOLE TIME. You’re a little crazy, aren’t u, rook. 😚

[red-dyed-sarumane]

2, 5, 28 for the music asks! also MCR in a car is dangerous cause their songs go SO HARD that me and my friend almost crashed listening to Mama once. I promise shes a good driver lol

oH NO!!! i'm glad you guys were good asdfghjkl i can relate though its just hard to not get distracted in the car when a good MCR song comes on I also could not be held responsible for what I might do when Mama starts playing

Thank you for the ask!!! (ask meme here!)

2.) A Song you Like with a Number in the Title

1957 by Milo Greene ! (This song makes me inconsolable about Sasha and August Borderlands)

5.) A Song That Needs to be Played LOUD

I will not list a Nirvana song I will not list a Nirvana song I will not list a Nirvana son-asdfghjk

Earth Death by Baths

I have been obsessed with this song lately and every time it comes on while I illegally am using my headphones at work I turn it up because I just like I gotta. I gotta.

28.) A Song by an Artist with a Voice that you Love

Predictable answer but: If You Must by Nirvana

But like to justify my very predictable pick, If You Must I think captures everything I love in particular about Kurt Cobains vocals and it's just a very underrated Nirvana song likely because I mean, it was never finished it's one of the numerous random tracks from With the Lights Out but like it just captures every random vocal thing he does that I love. Like the odd choices he makes the screaming the loud then soft the rawness to the droning the random moaning and shit like it like this songs almost hypnotic to me asdfghjk how much it captures the halmarks of what made Kurts voice in particular

Because I feel bad picking a very obvious answer for me asdfghjk my second pick is: Twin Sized Mattress by the Front Bottoms

I was on 8Tracks a lot in my youth ✨

[keeps-ache]

DARN, missed it again! 2nd anniversary of being a they/themer :D

[bookishjules]

i feel like the 'i could make/do that' mindset is so invaluable to have. i don't mean in the sense of like going to a modern art museum and insisting that you, a non-artist, could have made the art just as easily. no, that is condescending assholery. the mindset i'm talking about is one more of confidence, of optimism and.. i guess the willingness to put yourself out there, to ask the right questions, to try something new. and to fail, or rather for your vision not to come to fruition. maybe you don't have the tools yet, maybe you haven't acquired all the skills. but at least you could try. and you have confidence in the level of ability you do have to start. oftentimes actually sitting down and doing something is the best way to learn, and the only thing that could stop you from starting is telling yourself 'i could never make/do that'
