TODD x VIOLA : modern au [mostly based off this post]

todd hewitt’s just a kid who wears a lot of flannel and really only wants to play video games all summer, except his dads keep making him go outside and walk his stupid dog manchee. one day, he meets viola eade, a skater girl with chopped-off hair who’s just moved into the neighborhood in the wake of her parents’ death. the two bond after being harassed by the town’s ultra-conservative preacher, aaron, in a gas station parking lot, and so instead of playing zelda all summer, todd ends up going on adventures around town and getting into heaps of trouble with viola, who in turn helps him with his english homework and always patches him up after a scuffle with davy, the mayor’s son. 

and, of course, they end up going crazy for each other.

sunscreen!

Thank you! <3

🍑sunscreen - fav place to go this summer (describe it)

There’s this beach bar I really, really love. It’s got all female staff and they’re all amazing, cheap booze, and it’s in the shade of some super old tree. Leaves keep falling down from it and hitting me in the head but I don’t even care. The fact is that I feel best in that beach bar and that it’s got the ability to calm me down with the first sip of my drink.

After the World Ends Book Series Playlist

This is going to be fun! I’d apologize for the songs on this playlist, but I am not sorry at all, so... ;) 

You can find the entire playlist on my Youtube channel right here. 

I’ll provide links on song by song basis as well, if you’d like to click on particular ones. The explicit ones will have an E after the name. ^^ 

I recommend giving the entire thing a listen though - I’ve done my best to pace the list well for you. 

Stay with the music,

Ro-ri

1.      Nightwish – 10th Man Down

Reason: Original Concept song. Back when I was 14, it got me thinking of the consequences of war: not about the civilians or the countries affected, but the soldiers. The way that people change when they’re asked to take a life, then another, and another…

2.      Panic! At The Disco – Crazy=Genius 

E (for text not video)

Reason: For the smart cookies in this series. For Kemball, and Liana, and Gareth, and Felicity. Excuse the ablist language in the title – they don’t know better. *sigh*

3.      Royal Blood – Figure It Out 

E (for video not text)

Reason: It’s the most fitting soundtrack for all high-speed chases, races through the battlefield, and cases of Liana driving like a lunatic. There are a few throughout the series.

4.      K’NAAN, Snow The Product, Riz MC, Residente – Immigrants (We Get The Job Done) 

E (for text not video)

Reason: We do. We get the job done.

5.      In This Moment – The Fighter

Reason: De-romanticizing the idea people with mental health problems need a saviour. Promoting self-care, choosing your own feelings, and living a life without being defined by your illness.

6.      Nina Simone – Feeling Good

Reason: For Richard, one day soon. For smiling when the clouds clear. For strength meaning so many different things.

7.      Disturbed – The Sound Of Silence

Reason: Depression. Loneliness. The innate need to connect to people and to find in us the hope of friendship and love.

8.      In This Moment – Whore

E (for text, plus ITM videos can cause a bit of a sensory overload)

Reason: For Liana and her particular brand of survival. Because sometimes you keep the kindness inside, but your soul still grows claws and teeth. And that’s okay too.

9.      In This Moment – Roots

E (for text not video)

Reason: Survivors can have adventures. Lives. Loves. Friendships. Careers. Dreams. They are not their pain.

10.  Sonata Arctica – I Have A Right

Reason: Humane treatment for all, in war and civil life. Everybody has the right to normalcy, to safety. Disputing that casts immediate doubt on the asker’s good intentions.

11.  Parkway Drive – Writings On The Wall

Reason: Resistance. Revolution. Uprisings. Enemy of the state – hero of the people. It’s about those times when the comfort you live in is really the abusive hold of a tormentor who lies to you the rest of the world is evil. And this one has the name of a country. This is for the times we must fight back.

12.  Machine Head – Sail Into The Black

Reason: The willingness to walk into danger when you know danger is waiting. Staring into the abyss when it stares back.

13.  Black Stone Cherry – War

Reason: “War, huh/Yeah/What is it good for?/Absolutely nothing”

14.  Sabaton – Screaming Eagles

(video contains depictions of war/violence)

Reason: Because any team lead by the Blackthorns is deadly. They have no fucking chill. But mostly, this is a song for the S-400: those elite badass soldiers who kick major ass.

15.  Jack Savoretti – When We Were Lovers

Reason: Loves that could not be are the hardest. Unlived and forbidden, but have you known such things to stop Liana? ;)

16.  Darren Hayes – Insatiable

Reason: Some things are hot, okay?

17.  Nightwish – Slow, Love, Slow

Reason: Some loves end and that’s okay. We must let them go, if we are to find a better us, a better life, a better future

18.  Nightwish – While Your Lips Are Still Red

Reason: Live life now. Love to the full potential of your heart. Let it be overfilled. Let people in. Don’t be scared. Let love begin – and may it never end.

19.  Nightwish – Shudder Before The Beautiful

Reason: This song talks of the awe as we gaze upon Earth from above; it’s a celebration of science. This concept fits with the Latin Republic’s philosophy to protect the planet, make sure they don’t worsen the effects of the Great Disaster (and climate change) while working for the development of science and technology.

20.  Nightwish – Ever Dream (live version from Showtime, Storytime)

Reason: Sometimes loved don’t last but they are still precious. Every smile, every breath taken away, every beating heart set to happiness. Loving doesn’t have to be a goal – it’s a journey.

21.  Nightwish – Elan

Reason: To life! Being aware of the things around us, which make us happy, which make it worthwhile to live. The people who bring those smiles to our faces.

22.  Hans Zimmer & Tina Guo – Wonder Woman Main Theme

Reason: Because if Liana had an idol, it would be Diana Prince. They might take a different path, but they are both warriors and their ultimate motivation is their drive to help people; they are protectors, with kindness in their heart the world tries to extinguish.

23.  Xandria – Sacrificium

Reason: Ideas never die. This book is more than its characters, more than a plot. It’s about revolution, about right and wrong, and about which one wins, in the end.

I’d like to tag some writers, if they want to share their playlists: for writing, or songs they associate with their WIPs/finished works.

chaos walking meme ◎ (1/3) relationships ◎ todd hewitt & viola eade

the mayor thinks he knows everything. he thinks he knows what’s coming. he’s just sitting there waiting for me and todd to show up and try and stop him. but what he’s forgetting, what he’s forgetting is that me and todd, we ran halfway across this planet together, by ourselves. we beat his craziest preacher. we outran an entire army and survived being shot and beaten and chased and we bloody well stayed alive this whole time without being blown up or tortured to death or dying in battle or anything. me and todd? together against the mayor? he doesn’t stand a chance.
