#youve captured my vibe perfectly lmao

[oneshortlove]

you

AHHHH YES!!! THAT'S ME ALRIGHT!!!

[bonefall]

are there any cats youve assigned music to/assosciate with certain songs?

What you mean like, the fake AMVs that play in my head on long bus rides? Sure why not, I'll bite and have some fun. Bonefall Rewrite playlist lmao

I'll try not to share music that I picked up from AMVs because hopefully you guys know that Firestar's actual, factual theme song is Bones Shatter

(Below the cut is 10 videos worth of music. Most of my music tastes involve killing and stabbing and murder and biting, be forewarned.)

I wrote a whole essay once on how To The Blade by Everything Everything is the perfect song for Ferncloud and Cloudtail in the wake of learning that Ashfur is the imposter once, but then deleted it lmao. The song is about the limitations of empathy in understanding the actions of a monster, how you'll drive yourself insane thinking of everything you could have done differently, and the intense feelings of helplessness and shame in losing someone you cared about to extremism

It's lost a little bit in the Rewrite... though I am thinking of making Cloudtail Ashfur's mentor to preserve it a bit because I really sitting there and thinking about this song with them in particular.

I think Whole Lotta Rosie is just a delightful song for Tangleburr, and AC/DC in general. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, also. She's just my little hard AC/DC girl I love her, this kinda rock music just fits her so perfectly

Literally every single time I think about Reedwhisker, the beat of Hard Knock Life (2014) comes into my head... and also the Spiderman video. Reedwhisker is my favorite butt monkey.

For Brokenstar I imagine a lot of different things, Barbarism Begins At Home by the Smiths is a common one, but I also gravitate towards Goat by Man Man for how the whole song feels like a chaotic fever dream. Something about it captures the way his whole life feels desperate and overwhelming, like something is deeply wrong and he knows it, but can't figure out what it is until after he's dead.

And on that note, Runningnose, all his schemes with Brokenstar, his whole story, I literally can imagine the animatic in my head to Snuff Out the Light, the villain song cut from Emperor's New Groove. I can see the ENTIRE thing. God had to nerf me by preventing me from being able to focus on anything because the minute I can do one task for more than 30 minutes it's over for the entire world

Breezepelt just after Bonefall OotS and how he's desperately looking for meaning in anything, how he DOESN'T settle down with Heathertail right away, him joining The Kin and getting himself in trouble and feeling like he dug himself into a deeper and deeper hole....... Beat Down by Mr Heavenly

Darkstar and Little Dark Age by MGMT also lives in my head

I vibe with Cruel Summer by Bananarama of all things for Hollyleaf so hard that I am actually considering changing the season of the last book of Bonefall Po3 to Summer. I don't share every reason for all my random worldbuilding changes because sometimes, it really is just "this song made me imagine something so vividly I've Gotta Do It Now"

Uhhh Aro/Ace Rosetail and love related songs my beloved. I don't even have a deeper reason. I just associate this song with Rosetail.

This one's for canon Tawnypelt as well as Bonefall Tawnypelt; do you guys realize the untapped potential of Tawny and Lady Gaga? The fact she denies all Tigerstar's attempts to get in contact with her?? How she shows up in a dream ONCE to yell at Hawkfrost and Brambleclaw about how much of a bad idea it is??? BEYONCE???? Come ON, GAY PEOPLE, YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THIS LIKE 10 YEARS AGO

Tawnypelt x Telephone by Lady Gaga my beloved

Aaaaaand also, there is an internet where they were supposed to put my brain so I did listen to Dark Souls boss music when I wrote Speckletail's Bulldozer.

idk if youve ever heard this song before or if its even your taste in music but the 24 hours series reminds me a bit of the song lost in reality by 5sos & i LOVE it. like "bittersweet chemistry, i cant escape you anywhere even in my dreams, all thats in my head are pictures & memories, words that youve said to me" just fits with their vibe so well and i love that for them honestly. the dual edged sword of emotion that is a bittersweet chemistry..i feel like really perfectly captures where the story is at right now. the juxtaposing of their tender moments & their trash talk, the way their conversations can be pleasant but peppered with them being reminded of past jabs that have yet to heal. they cant get enough of each other even though it hurts. and theyll both admit it hurts, but not that they cant get enough of each other. idk LOVE the series so far & so excited to see where you take it. & if you dont agree then um this is a joke and im totally kidding lmao. never stop writing youre amazing, not everyones writing can evoke emotion like yours can. you can feel the characters emotions with them because of the depth you show how they respond, not even necessarily telling HOW they feel. because not even the character KNOWS how they feel! we love an unreliable narrator truly. anyways sorry for the ramble i was not expecting this ask to get so long lmao! not even a question really, just an excuse to compliment your writing! hope you have an amazing day <3

never apologize for rambles i love it and am honored that my writing can evoke anyone to ramble omg <3

nonnie, you have no idea how much i adore that song. like. i am never gonna shut up about this, and can't believe i didn't connect the dots on that one sooner. that song is my jam solely because they said my name during the chorus and i will never shut up about that one lol

i really do appreciate the kind words <3 i think it's all writers and creators can really ask for, ya know? like for our art, our words, to evoke emotions. sometimes i fear i'm not being blatant enough in it, or i'm being too mysterious with it, so i appreciate you enjoying it, truly.
