i do genuinely hope you enjoy :)

p.s. my fave is totally track #5: "the break", minute 5:28–7:51 in the upload. it has all the little symbolic motifs AND THE OBOE BREAKS MY HEART BC I KNOW HOW THE STORY'S GONNA GO AHH MY GOD

if anyone's nerdy enough, i'll write up an explanation of all the symbolism woven into the themes and instrumentation in the soundtrack lmao (im gonna have to do it anyway at some point so :shrug:)

((oh and if anyone wants book excerpts to read with the different tracks, check here, but be warned! bc i haven't actually written the parts of the book that pertain to tracks 5 and 6, there will be spoilers in the form of a rough outline in the excerpt doc, if that's smthn you care about!))

Salut! So asking (💤 SLEEPING) for Aurore for the ask game is a little too on the nose, but I really want to know XD. Also (🎵 MUSIC NOTE) for her and for pippa (and for Erin if you're up to it) because I love asks about music and I know you have impeccable taste in music ^^

💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep?

fair question for aurore lol

i would think that aurore has never had any trouble falling asleep due to the curse. it hasn't yet taken effect, but it still lingers in her, waiting until the right time. there are trace influences of it that worry her parents; this is one such example.

she doesn't need anything, really, to help her fall asleep. that being said, she enjoys and is comforted by her thick heavy blankets and sheer bed canopy. it makes her feel protected and safe.

🎵 MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?

ooh yes!! thank you for this question!! glad you enjoy my taste in music :) i don't have a fantastic handle on aurore and pippa yet but i will do my best

i've spent the last couple days listening to my liked songs on spotify and adding entire albums to x's playlist. it's honestly been a great way to understand them in a different way.

btw even though their canon is in the fantasy limbo era, this question is all assuming they're in modern times

aurore —

aurore mostly enjoys either light whimsical songs or bright pop songs.

her playlist, ironically, has some disney songs, especially i see the light, for the first time in forever, and love is an open door. there's also indila's mini world album in her playlist. her favourite artists include cosmo sheldrake, the oh hellos, taylor swift, abba, and louane — i'd love to put more french artists but i don't know a lot 😥

a song that i associate with her is once upon a dream, which should surprise absolutely no one. it's where i got this entire series idea, the soulmate trope for aurore and pippa, and it's a sleeping beauty song. there are two versions specifically that i listen to: lana del rey's cover and tchaikovsky's original sleeping beauty orchestra piece.

pippa —

i feel like pippa's favourite artists are hozier, brandi carlile, maren morris, and zaz. they love anything with a beautiful voice and lyrics — a homage to how prince phillip was immediately drawn by aurora's voice in the disney movie. their music taste is also in more grounded? songs than aurore likes? i.e. cosmo sheldrake's music is quite whimsical and aurore loves it but pippa prefers hozier's solid style. if that makes sense.

some songs on their playlist are any jeremy zucker and chelsea cutler collabs, hozier's in a week, and pentatonix's say something.

the song i associate with them is etta james' at last:

at last my love has come along my lonely days are over and life is like a song

on a completely unrelated note, pippa totally read the ranger's apprentive over and over when they were younger. it's their comfort series well into new adulthood too.

erin —

erin's playlist has some softer/lighter music, like clairo and harry styles. lifehouse's entire no name face album is on there, too — both her taste and it's what her father listened to when she was younger. taylor swift's lover album is also on there because taylor has a flavour of music for everyone lol

a song i associate with her is i saw you in a dream by the japanese house — the version with the lowercase title — because i added it to my wip playlist immediately after hearing it for the first time. so i've always associated it with her, even if it doesn't completely match up anymore.

EDIT lol i forgot she canonically has a favourite song: woodland dance by radomir kafka. i wouldn't try to find it though; kafka is from one of vallera's neighboring countries and the song doesn't actually exist. though i imagine it with similar vibes to danse macabre or antonín dvořák's no. 2 dumka.

thanks for the questions! it took me,,, a while,,, to answer but i really enjoyed them :D

[somewhat-very-insane]

pog :D here are some of my favorites. tried to make sure there wasn't too much overlap for the genres :3

hope you find something you like outta these

okokok i will listen to these and let you know my thoughts! (i actually already really like the last one it's on a few of my playlists)

yay more music ask game!

2, a song you like with a number in the title: two songs that not only have numbers in the title but are about counting! first is 74 by itoki hana. i like this one a lot for the story it tells... i won't say anything else. another one: 99 from mob psycho 100. gotta rep my mp100 roots... this song is a good message wrapped in a banger song

11, a song you never get tired of: ooh ive got lots of these... gotta limit myself. melty land nightmare grows on me more everytime i listen to it (the project sekai version is also good). lots of songs from the crane wives (love them) are like this for me too, my favorite ones are curses, the moon will sing, tongues & teeth, and i talk in my sleep. curses wasn't much to me first listen but quickly became one of my favorite songs the winner though is white space from omori (not the piano version it gives me a headache) not because its one of my favorite songs but just bc its so simple i feel like i could actually listen to it forever. it means everything is also like this but because its so raw with emotion.

20, a song that has many meanings to you: foster the people's houdini. song about trying to live and fighting for it. song about owning yourself. song about moving forward. song about making art. good 👍
