@erynneI’VE BEEN WAITING FOR A THREAD LIKE THIS!!!!!
I love music, so I obviously do this. I will seriously put my playlist on shuffle then as a song plays, ill think of a scene in my story it relates to and kinda write that scene in my head while I listen to the music. It that makes sense XD
And I doubt y’all will know any of these songs lol
Here’s mine:
Entire book
For What It’s Worth by Buffalo Springfield
Scenes
When characters realizes she needs to put the past behind her and continue on: Get Up by Shinedown
MC cheering up family: Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House
When MC leaves family (since they don’t support her decisions): One Way Ticket by LeAnn Rimes And Second Chance by Shinedown
Characters
Kimberlin: Well I completely made this character off of me so I had to ask my mom what my theme song was her response was “the goat that sings with Whitney Houston” if you understand that reference be my bestie please
My real answer is probably Dancing Queen by Abba, I Won’t Back Down by Mr Cash, and I want a hippopotamus for Christmas by someone. That pretty much sums me off
Tae: Slipping Through my Fingers by Abba (the lyrics aren’t that relatable to her but the mood of the song is spot on)
Ryder: Country Boy Can Survive by Hank Jr
Rose ( @rose-colored-fancy I named her after you hope that’s ok): You Can’t Hurry Love by Phil Collins
Felix: You’re Not Special by Shinedown
Be weird. Be random. Be who you are. Because you ever know who would love the person you hide.

@noah-cochranHey I really like The Call and Evenstar too!
Grace my friend, you are a woman of excellent tastes.
She’s the main villain of the second book, and my absolute favorite villain I’ve ever written.
*resists the urge to ask you for tips on making amazing villans*
But I shall return to this topic later. Be warned. 😈
Rose ( rose-colored-fancy I named her after you hope that’s ok
Ha, you’re just the kind of person I would expect to hear that someone is basing a character off of.
That’s what I say! Do you like any of their other ones?
Star Sky, Evergreen, there are a ton of good ones.
Also, you listen to the Flight of the Silverbird too???!! Have you heard their Dragon Rider?
*proceeds to go look up Dragon Rider*

@rose-colored-fancyRose (rose-colored-fancy I named her after you hope that’s ok)
Was that intentional or more like “Oh, they have the same name, oops XD”? Because that’s happened to me XD
Either way, that’s really cool! 🙂

Please do, I greatly enjoy ranting with much enthousiasm and little sense, and I’m glad you allow me to XD

That’s an awesome compliment XD
YAY FOR A FELLOW SARAH SPARKS, OH HELLOS, AND PAPER KITES FAN!!!
(If you like them, you should totally give The Arcadian Wild a listen.)
And I recently wrote a short story based on Carry You.
You have fantastic taste!! I’ve actually listened to Arcadian Wild a couple times! What are your favorite songs by all of them?
Malar: “My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark” by Fall Out Boy, (Don’t ask why this fantasy character has rock theme songs–he just does)
Aww, yessss!!! I love that song XD That’s such a mood though XD My characters are above music genre XD
Without darkness, there is no light. If there was no nighttime, would the stars be as bright?

@erynneWell I was trying to name her and I couldn’t think of anything so I was going through people I knew and you crossed my mind and I was like “perfect!” And you two have similar personalities anyway

Oh man, that’s just the coolest!! Thanks!! *checks “have a character named after me” off my bucket list*
Do I have to save this post as evidence so I can prove that character is named after me when you get famous? XD

@erynneIf that were to ever happen I would put you on the Acknowledgement page.
Don’t worry everyone, I will remember every single one of you when I become the next Tolkien!
I’m glad this is online because I could NOT keep a straight face saying that 😂

@sparrowhawkeMan, it’s hard to pick favorites! I relate to “Oh, Sleeper” a lot (they actually wrote it as the Enneagram 9 song; although I’m a 5, I relate to some 9 things). “Blue Eyed Girl” is so sweet, as well as “The Ballad of Donnie Gene”, and “Hey Runner!” and “Fall: War” are really fun and catchy!
Do you use Spotify at all?

@calidris@gbfruitbat ooh this looks fun! Thanks for tagging me 🙂
I don’t really assign music to characters, but here are a few that fit pretty well
Misu: The Twins’ Quick – Asami Tachibana
(this one is my top favorite soundtrack 🙂 )
Sasha Gunnerside – Toru Oikawa’s theme
The Shrike – Mountains and No Time for Caution – Hans Zimmer
These are for the same character, just in different stage of the story (or rather, two different sides of the same antagonist)
Saskia – Only One Spiderman – Daniel Pemberton
– Also Miya Atsumu – Asami Tachibana – It’s not an exact match, but it’s too good to leave out lol
As far as certain scenes go:
-Saskia vs. The Shrike – The Prowler – Daniel Pemberton
– Saskia vs. The Shrike vs. The Red Queen – Kingpin Fight – Daniel Pemberton
Idk if these are going to be actual scenes, but those are just the scenarios that come to mind when listening to these soundtracks 🙂
Also, the concept of Spire in general – Bolero – Maurice Ravel
*laughs as one fey*

Ooh, that’s awesome! I found Blue Eyed Girl a few days ago, it fits Faye perfectly 🥰 I’ll check out the others! Is Oh Sleeper by Arcadian Wild or Oh Hellos because they both have a song called that XD
Do you use Spotify at all?
Yeah! My username is Rose Everdeen!

That’s one of the songs that when I read the title I can hear it XD That’s awesome!

I was referring to the “Oh Sleeper” by The Arcadian Wild. It’s funny how they both have songs with that title.
I just followed you on Spotify!

@sparrowhawkeI have no clue why that emoji got blown up to such an ungodly size.
