Daily Entertainment: Music Edition!

[damncompass]

Happy Friday, everyone!

I am all over the place today, so I'll just give you all an oldie but a goodie.

Music! Post your characters in, and people can suggest songs that remind them of your character! (Or even offer songs of your own that you like for your characters!)

Comments

[kd7sov]

Sure, why not.

Felix (venusadept_2)
Kain (baron_dragoon)
Fluttershy (needs_fern)

[camwyn]

I don't know if 'reminds me of' is quite the right phrase for it, but I kind of think Dust Motes by Paul Hartnoll suits Fluttershy.

Stacker Pentecost

Medic doesn't want to participate, I'd prefer to be more familiar with his native country's music before subjecting Santo to this, and Varric insists on "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred.

[bjornwilde]

How about Justin Timerlake's "I'm bringing sexy back" for Varric as well?

Doctor Evil (doc_evil)

[camwyn]

Doctor Evil is a tossup between the Chiwetel Ejiofor version of "I Wanna Be Evil" (heck, he's even in the vid I linked to) and "Be Prepared" from the Lion King.

*throws in the lot*
Guuuuys, so nervous, the home inspection's today, my cute little house needs to not be broken.

Ace - Doctor Who
Clara/Oswin - Doctor Who
Jemma Simmons - Agents of SHIELD
Katya - The Watch Series
William Blakeney (whom I need to put in this week) - Master and Commander
Glorfindel - LotR
Bones McCoy - Star Trek
Balthazar Blake - Sorcerer's Apprentice
Sam Stewart - Foyle's War

[camwyn]

I'm scrolling through my phone's list of tunes and while I haven't hit one that I think necessarily applies to her, the song "Go to Hell" by Captain Tractor seems like the kind of sentiment Ace could get behind for somebody.

[damncompass]

Joshua Donovan
Helena Wells
Fantine
Valentine Wiggin
Peter (OUaT)

[camwyn]

Is it bad that I want to suggest "History Is Made By Stupid People" by the Arrogant Worms for Helena? I don't actually know her canon portrayal but it seems like an attitude she might appreciate.

[1nv1nc1ble]

This guy.

[camwyn]

Given the way things stand in his canon, I'm gonna skip over the piece that shares his name and pick a different track from the same album. "Protectors of the Earth", by Two Steps From Hell.

[aberration]

Will has actually been the character I've most consistently chosen or had to listen to music for while playing. I do have... a whole... Hannibal playlist for myself (probably because of my perspective, it tends to swing toward folk and rock rather than classical), but it includes a lot of really intense music, which is good for inspiration but bad for RPing him, which is me constantly being like "OKAY BE CALM BE CALM BE CALM" in my head. When actually playing him, I tend to cycle through three songs: Five Hundred Miles (the Inside Llewyn Davis cover is what I happened to have), Scarlet Town - Gillian Welch, and Three White Horses - Andrew Bird. Quiet but increasingly more melancholy, basically.

Elle I've gotten some good suggestions from this kind of meme for before, like "I Think I'm Paranoid" by Garbage, "Chinese Burn" by Curve, and "Momentum" by Aimee Mann. Though my personal anthem for her still pretty much became "Grounds for Divorce" by Elbow.

For Asami I've listened to "Shut Up and Drive" by Rihanna a lot, "Contra" by Moon Hooch, and "Drumming Song" by Florence + The Machine. And "Guillotine" by Yadi sort of became my Korra&(?)Asami song for a bit.

Marceline has a lot of her own music, such as The Fry Song, Just Your Problem, and I Remember You. And editing to add that when I spent a day last summer walking around NYC dressed up like her (complete with plastic-and-cardboard axe bass and heavy black wig), listening to M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls" helped me keep my head up.

Aaand um, for Manny I like "My Boy Builds Coffins" by Florence + The Machine. With Hiccup I'll just listen to the HTTYD soundtrack again. Iiii can't think of anything off the top of my head for Katara or just Leslie (though I really like this Parks&Rec vid).

[bjornwilde]

I've already put together a couple of playlists for Jess, one general mix and one break up mix for her and Clint. Their track lists are in the comments of each.

I have two songs for Mulan so far, King and Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men & Is Your Love Strong Enough by Bryan Ferry and David Gilmore, though the cover from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is damn good. I'm open to suggestions.

Quin has a few songs; Hurricane by Ms Mr, Sounds of Silence by Simon & Garfunkel, and Michael Andrew's cover of Mad World. Totally open for more! I need less angst ridden songs for him. = D

ETA: Andrea Nash also has a massive playlist (Track list here)

[woman_of_valor]

Metallica's Nothing Else Matters works for Mulan also.

[genarti]

I dunno if I'll have much chance to reciprocate today (busy workday, and parents visiting for the weekend), but I'm curious!

Thor Odinson
Trowa Barton
River Tam
Regan Tam
Clare
Enjolras

[camwyn]

I already told you about this one, but- "Norwegian Pirate", for Thor.

[leeshajoy]

Alyx Vance
D0G
Twilight Sparkle
Princess Luna
Vanellope von Schweetz
the cat

[pullsneedles]

I suck for not remembering the title, which is pretty much the only reason I associate this song with this character. But Princess Luna reminds me of a song I heard waaaaaaaay back when I was taking Spanish in college about how the Moon reminded the singer of the sung-to so much that it drove him love-crazy. "La Luna" is in there, but I don't remember what else.

Vanellope gets Shut Up and Drive and Sugar Rush for obvious reasons.

[pullsneedles]

This oughta be fun!

Mia Ausa
Lucas
Lohengrin (The Knight), who has obvious answers

Have fun guys. Funny enough, I am listening to a lecture on iTunes U that on Tolkien. Today's lecture is about Tom Bombadil and his music. Freaking Arda... with music in its very being.

[alexiscartwheel]

I have playlists for all three, and all of them could use some updating. I <3 new suggestions.

Lady Mary Crawley (lady_mary) - Mary's playlist is alternately overwrought melodrama and straight up crack. Some highlights include Primadonna by Marina and the Diamonds and Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush.

Carol Danvers (mighty_avenger - Carol is amusing because canonically she is kind of uncool when it comes to pop culture, and has these big knowledge gaps because of the whole multiple memory losses problem, so her own music taste is decidedly unhip. Favorites include Titanium by David Guetta & Sia and by Kenny Loggins, both for being entirely too on the nose.

Stiles Stilinski (whatisastiles) - Ahahahaha. Okay at this point not only do I have a Stiles playlist, I have a playlist for his mom? Because I have issues? Anyway, he's got everything from A Better Son/Daughter by Rilo Kiley to Not Your Hero by Tegan & Sara to, apparently, multiple instances of Pink's Raise Your Glass?

[bjornwilde]

Aside from the obvious, Kenny Loggin's Danger Zone, I have a mash-up of Taylor Swift's Long Lived and Katy Perry's Fireworks that I associate with Carol and Jess's friendship, can't find a link aside from a medifire for the whole album the Mashup artist made.

There's also Pink Floyd Learning To Fly.

[varadia]

X-23
Raven, who sets things right
Dean Winchester
Wonder Woman

[bjornwilde]

For Wonder Woman, how about Beyoncé's Run The World(Girls)?

Also for X-23, Of Monsters and Men's Your Bones.

[death_gone_mad]

Amascut - death_gone_mad has a playlist that is about to trimmed down, since recent canon reveals have most likely nixed a story I had in mind to go with those songs. But, suggestions are still welcome.

Fairy Fixit fairy_fixit and Evil Chicken fowl_beast still have no music accompaniment, so suggest away.

[bjornwilde]

For Amascut, how about Electric Hellfire Club's Halloween Medley? 14 minutes of sinister awesome.

[starrydome]

This guy and Eric Northman.
Canonically Eric enjoys throat singing, so Yatkha would be a good bet for him.
Ad well as Räven by Hedningarne, not so much because of the lyrics as because it's a sexy song.

As for Elrond, classical guitar seems to work.

[runningred]

"If I Had a Heart" by Fever Ray for Eric. Also the Jen Titus cover of "O Death".

[themightyspazz]

Posting in from my phone. Y'all know my pups, right?

[the_force_abides]

Is Iggy Pop's Search and Destroy too obvious for Voodoo?

[inlovewithwords]

Henry Mills
Eriond
Lois Lane
Tavi

[yakalskovich]

Teja
Hannibal Lecter
Pearse Harman

Lady Margolotta
Tamara the mermaid
Madame Thénardier

-- some of these do have music closely associated to them, Hannibal even has fan-made playlists all over 8tracks and Spotify, but I'd be interested in what the rest of you think.

[ceitfianna]

Very late but I always love this DE.

Will Scarlett
Charles Xavier
Ivan Vorpatril
William Evans
Demeter
Moist von Lipwig
Sameth
Jane Austen
Tumnus
The Pirate King

[runningred]

William and the ranch makes me think of Dustbowl Dance by Mumford and Sons although I hope it never goes that badly for him.

Charles - I don't know why but America by Razorlight makes me think of him.

[cute_bruiser]

I need to scoot away because I am borrowing Ashie's computer (I AM IN LOLSTRALIA, GUYS. IT'S A MAGICAL PLACE.) but!

[runningred]

Jay Todd
David Detector
Olivier de Bretagne

[ceitfianna]

Oh you're Detector, he's a great character.

In terms of music. Carry on my wayward son comes to mind immediately for Jay as does a Wallflowers' song called Constellation Blues.

I need to think on the others and will probably tag Olivier tomorrow when I feel more awake.

[bbq_platypus]

This was yesterday, but there's no harm in making a post nobody responds to.

Waco Kid
Leela of the Sevateem

Caius Cosades
Garyn Balvadares, aka the Nerevarine
Marge Gunderson

I'm running late, but I'm running...

[md_donighal]

For this guy:
Snap!, "The Power"
Army of Lovers, "Crucified"
the Teragen theme song, Tool's "Forty-Six &2", here performed with astonishing verve by kids who I don't think were even born when Ænima came out.

People (FSVO) with obvious music:
Ryûk (ringo_to_omoshiro) — Maximum the Hormone, "What's Up People?"
Wreck-It Ralph (yourcolossalhands) — the song I got his username from, Buckner and Garcia's retroactive classic, "Wreck It, Wreck-It Ralph"

Strong Bad (forgoodorforawesome) and The Cheat (ilko_skevuld)
the Deliverator (hiroaki_protagonist)
Rukia Kuchiki (rotwood_reaper)
Jennifer Landers (slidingjennifer)
