@dcviated asked:

What are honey's music tastes like?

...which I'm finally answering as it combines neatly with this question, asked by anonymous: what is a genre of music your muse won't listen to?

So, first and foremost, I present:

Which is still a fledgling at best, but the process of me trying to figure out a good response to this question is simply going and listening to a TON of music and laying there, thinking to myself, would Honey like this song?

Honey likes music that has a lot going on. That can mean folktronica / epic fantasy-style scores, organ-heavy metal tracks, or whimsical jazz-infused tunes the like of which you'd find on a katamari soundtrack. Dance/Electronic stuff tends to dominate, but she's almost certainly something of a K-pop / J-pop girlie as well. Enjoys following idols, and can get into the groove of almost anything that's up-tempo and jammin' enough.

When it comes to songs with lyrics, that "tempo" note is nearly a rule. She'd tell you there are exceptions in every category, and she hesitates to completely brush aside any genre at large, but she generally doesn't listen to a lot of straight folk music, nor country, singer-songwriter-y, and even more classic jazz fare because sleepy, languid vocals don't do it for her. Doesn't go in for much classic rock, either, though there are more than a few exceptions she's heard in time.

That said, when it comes to purely instrumental tracks, her taste opens up again. Lo-fi hip hop beats, wandering piano tracks, anything that has a good melody and steady rhythm to it can find its way into her circulation— and she has a great fondness for orchestral or otherwise instrumental pieces which make her feel like she's in her own little romantic drama, or perhaps in a light-hearted, brightly-hued video game. See the Cosmic Cove Galaxy track above, and Balamb Garden. Honey loves singing along to songs when she's casually going about a task or riding/walking somewhere, but if she's really focused on her work or some-such, she prefers instrumental stuff.

Some harder, edgier tunes can sneak in from time to time, (i.e. the referenced metal dabblings), but it's also worth nothing that most of the music she listens to is playful. It might be light and chipper and whimsical, or punchy and exciting (like OTONABLUE), or even sort of gentle and sweet as in Farewell by Erikson Jayanto; but in sum... it mostly matches her, and the sort of personality she exudes— her brand is consistent.

**(note: the music just has to SOUND bright and fun. the lyrics/subject of the song may actually be much darker, but if it's sung in the right key and vibe? lyrics are secondary baby!)

what color does your love feel like?

BRIGHT SUNNY YELLOW. sweet tasting popsicles, summer dresses and shielding your eyes from the sun. your love is the excitement of something brewing, something growing. it's the almost childish bubbling giggles of something new, but with the potential to stay. it's wide smiles, blinding sunny light and warm bodies that gravitate to one another. it's the softness, the willingness, the slight holding of breaths in a crucial "what if" moment. it's the impatience too. the bouncing on tiptoes to see further than your eyes can reach, the holding out for a future that never seems to come even though you're ready, you're so so so ready. it's the constant feeling of warm sand beneath your feet, holding out for the crashing waves. and still you wait, dry and impatient and with burnt soles of feet. your love is sour candy, enjoying it as your nose scrunches up from the aftertaste of it.

it's hands that grab and take hold, that reach and ask them to stay and hope and beg and wait. it's bubbling excitement sure, but it's also demanding, focused, driven. it's love like a plan, with a path and route and a clear destination. and you bounce on your tiptoes, and burning, waiting for the soothing water, the crashing waves, you hold onto the melting popsicle, you wait and wait and wait. it's tiring almost as much as it's lazer focused ambition, deeply rooted desire and the unrelenting hope that it will work, that it will come. and it does, i promise it does. the waves crash, the beach floods and the pain passes, the water cool and soothing and you can let yourself fall in, sinking, sinking. and it's good, it's perfect, what you were hoping and more, holding and embracing you and welcoming you into the stillness you always knew you were reaching for.

what soft romance cliché are you?

oh.

the italicized oh. often seen in romance novels and fanfics. when a character looks at someone, wondering why their chest tightens when they're near, why their heart beats quicken at the slightest touches, why they lose their breath at the sight of them and suddenly realization dawns on them— oh.

they've been in love for a long time now.

you are soft and quiet, probably the most overlooked. though when you love, you fall deeply. i'm sure you have a lot of anxieties when it comes to love, and you're more inclined to fall in love with a longtime friend than a stranger. though, your love is pure. and maybe if you have someone in mind, this is your sign to tell them.
