you know what to do

but in case you don't:

1- tag with your characters (individually or as a list, ain't no one give a shit)
2- list songs that you associate with the character (mun or not, it don't matter)
3- highlight specific verses from the lyrics if you want!

BONUS: explain why this song is relevant to the char (if it's not obvious)

Ravi/Akhi

[inchesofevil]

I do have one item to throw on this list, though. This is the song Duncan's keywords come from: New Frontier, by Iron Maiden

It is a song about Frankenstein, basically.

Walking After You for Ravi/Akhi (and Alex)

in that kind of creepy possessive sort of way B)

[socarnivorously]

Linked in chat before, Alex/Ravi

Voxtrot; Brother in Conflict
Right now, it's just the thing that we need
I thought you'd always be my brother in conflict
Drums beat, it's just the son and the beast
I thought you'd always be my brother in conflict, now

I don't see, I don't see, I don't see anything
Take the car, take the cash, take the heat out of me
Every day, every day losin' my sympathy
I don't see, I don't see, I don't see

Why we
We took an axe
and thrust it in the sunshine
And through the glow, I lost you for the first time
And when it cleared, I hit you with a fast line
Why are you suffocating both of us now?
We picked a lot of trust over the wrong things
The freedom of our speech, and I'm just talking
When will I learn how to chew these words
I have teeth, I have teeth, I have teeth
I, have to lose my idols to find my voice
lose my idols to find my voice
I have to lose my idols
to find my voice
I have to lose my idols to find my voice

Sort of Alex/Ravi, the sentiment behind the lyrics more so than the actual words...ish
Regina Spektor; Two Birds
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well
But he is a liar

I'll believe it all
There's nothing I won't understand

I'll believe it all
I won't let go of your hand

Two birds on a wire
One says c'mon and the other says "I'm tired"
The sky is overcast and I'm sorry
One more or one less
Nobody's worried

Regina Spektor; Better
You're getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder, getting sadder
And I don't understand, and I don't understand
But if I kiss you where it's sore
If I kiss you where it's sore
Will you feel better, better, better?
Will you feel anything at all?
Will you feel better, better, better?
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all?
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all?
Will you feel anything at all
Anything at all?

KT Tunstall; Miniature Disasters
Miniature disasters and minor catastrophes,
Bring me to my knees.
Well I must be my own master,
Or a miniature disaster will be,
Will be the death of me.

I don't have to raise my voice,
Don't have to be underhand,
Just gotta understand.
That it's gonna be up and down,
Gonna be lost and found.
And then I can't take to the sky
Before I like it on the ground

And I need to patient, And I need to be brave,
I need to discover how I need to behave,
And I'll find out the answers when I know what to ask,
But I'm speaking this wrong language,
And everybody's talking too fast

Majestica

Maybe some LeiLei herself as well.

The Mountain Goats; Hebrews 11:40
Build fires to keep the beacon flashing
Where the earth lies flat
Blood calls to blood as the hours draw down
Invent my own family if it comes to that
Hold them close, hold them near
Tell them no one's ever going to hurt them here

Steal the treasure and try to leave town
Fight my way back down
Don't want to hurt anyone
Probably gonna have to before it's all done

Transition period between Akhi's death and the present.

Hybrid; Choke
Sink
Into the storm again
Cold and disconnected
We've opened every door
Burn
The city is too bright
I'll stay here with my secrets
Until it fades to dust

Apostle of Hustle; Energy of Death
In the rhythm of this song
we drink we fuck & we fight we bring it on

Prayer is samba & surdu
her lips are red, they know what to do

Prophet waves his flag, he's so devout
there's a waterfall of sewage from his mouth

The children of the dying earth
our possessions & our money have no worth

Beirut; Transatlantique
No, I couldn't tell you how the house burned down
Last night while we were running around
Midnight surrounds you, the moonlight makes you proud
Last night, oh, we were running around

Sing for last call, sing for last fall, such was it all
Sing for last call, sing for last fall, such was it all

All along I was your home
All along I was your home

Alex/Cat

Beirut; Elephant Gun
If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight

Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around

Mumford & Sons; Dust Bowl Dance
Well you are my accuser, now look in my face
Your oppression reeks of your greed and disgrace
So one man has and another has not
How can you love what it is you have got
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store

There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you always denied

Alex's general view of the world.

Neko Case; This Tornado Loves You
my love, i am the speed of sound
i left them motherless, fatherless
their souls dangling inside-out from their mouths
but it's never enough

i want you...

carved your name across three counties
ground it in with bloody hides
their broken necks will line the ditch
till you stop it
stop it
stop it
stop it
stop it
stop this madness

i want you...

i have waited with a glacier's patience
smashed every transformer with every trailer
till nothing was standing
sixty-five miles wide
still, you are nowhere
still, you are nowhere
nowhere in sight

Alex/Cat

Noelle

[socarnivorously]

The New Pornographers; The Bones of an Idol
You hold up the cup
You've been searching for
Since you were young
When you still had the bones of an idol
If you still had the bones of an idol
You'd be long long gone
But something keeps turning you on

We cling to the raft we are missing
By half what we wanted
But we escaped with the bones of an idol
Escaped with the belt and the title
But our land is gone

And something keeps turning us on

Jordan

[socarnivorously]

Florence and the Machine; Donkey Kosh
You ask me why I keep them,
Why I love them so,
Why they get away with murder,
As they grow and grow and grow, oh

I keep them cos I made them,
They come from in my arms
With each mistake I make
Created and torn apart

And when it's time to feed them,
Before they go to bed,
I give them my confessions,
Baked within their bread

Double layer song, one of an acknowledgment of her mistakes made with other people, second as writing the characters she does to deal with her negative emotions. This was pre-game, though; obviously she no longer wants to keep Alex (although her feelings if she ever sees him in person will be different than what she thinks.)

OST Songs!

[jupiter_bands]

So here, have some OST themes:

Your Last Ditch Effort to Fix an Evil Alt Before they Turn Real:

There's no danger, we're just killing time again...

In Repair

Your Alt Giving You The Finger Because She's Real, Damn It!

Hey! I'm not synthetica. I'll keep the life that I've got.

Synthetica

Gabe
Eileen
Nayan

[catchingseasons]

Gabe NAYAN fuck why do I always mix them up

Fergie; Labels or Love
I already know what my addiction is
I be looking for labels, I ain't looking for love
I shop for purses while love walks out the door
Don't cry, buy a bag and get over it
And, I'm not concerned with all the politics
It's a lot of men I know I could find another.
What I know, is that I'm always happy when I walk out the store, store

I'm guessing supercalifragi-sexy, nothing to be playing with
I love him, hate him, kiss him, diss him, tryna to walk a mile in my kicks

Love's like a runway but which one do I love more?
No emotional baggage, just big bags filled with Dior
Love's like a runway, so what's all the fussing for?
Let's stop chasing those boys and shop some more.
One, two, one, two, three, turn the lights on.

More OST Songs

[jupiter_bands]

Yikes, Stop Playing Your Alt, She's Real!

Is anyone still reading this? WELL. I have another addition to my informal Zen soundtrack:

This song is for the players whose self inserts came to life. :3

"I made you in the image of myself. I gave you everything you wanted, so you would never know anything else. But every time I reach for you, you slip through my fingers. Into cold sunlight. Laughing at the things that I had planned."
