Songs and My Characters :)

Viewers: Oh. It's you again. 

Me: Hi. 

I'm in the mood to post YouTube videos of songs and relate them to my characters. 

But this time I want to pick songs (that I don't think I posted before) that I can vaguely imagine my characters singing. 

So I'm going to put in some videos and discuss which one of my characters I imagine singing them. For some it's more than one character. I'm putting in a little background situation thing too. 

I have many thoughts about my characters. I think about them way too much for my own good.

Will I ever stop? I don't know if that's possible.

Oh yeah. I have one more final to take tomorrow. Then I'm free!~

Viewers: What is this?

Me: Oh shoot, wrong post idea I had since *checks calendar* five months ago. This is a bird. Bird boi. French bird boi. Yes.

(I keep on forgetting to post my beautiful pictures from my trip to France. Sorry for the extremely long wait!) 

Anyway, onto the songs!

Infinity x Infinity~ Dead by April

I imagine Duke and Twinkle singing this together. Even though Dawn, Fierdan, and Ryen can relate to some of the lyrics, I can't really imagine them singing it. 

I can just see Duke and Twinkle feeling connected by the fact that their parents suck and were behaving terribly toward them for years.. and their deep hatred for Admiral (whose name I will change eventually). So I see them singing this song and thinking of those people in their lives who did them wrong. 

Read my recent posts to understand the reasons why for Duke. As for Twinkle, she was severely bullied in school (one of her bullies was Admiral) and her parents treated her unfairly compared to her sister (and were borderline emotionally abusive to her). 

Wow, these lines though (hmm..): "At night I'm thinking of sweet revenge / I feel the anger, anger / I'm redefining the meaning of evil / Inside I'm bleeding, bleeding from all the beatings, beatings / Let them pay, Let them pay for the things that they've done, Let them suffer- infinity times infinity"

Just.. yes. But only Duke can relate to the 'bleedings' and 'beatings' line. The other ones can relate to both of them. And now I'm thinking of Duke and Twinkle emotionally singing the "Let them pay" parts together, and I love it.

Nothing Worth Saving~ Dangerkids

For my characters singing this, I imagine it being Duke and Fierdan (feat. Twinkle). I imagine Duke and Fierdan singing the majority of the song, and Twinkle singing a part of it (close to the end?).

I'm thinking about the flaws they see in themselves, their 'scars' (physical or not), what they think about themselves (the negative aspects), how they're 'broken', and how they do have that line of thinking that they're "not worth saving" which is basically the song.

World Away~ Tonight Alive 

I imagine Twinkle singing this. Just her, by herself.

I'm thinking about Twinkle's recovery where she learns she doesn't have to be ashamed for her emotions and she gains some actual self-esteem without needing other people in order to (*cough* Duke.. or even Dawn). 

This line <3: "I know I will survive this, I'll be the strongest person I know" that's beautiful and powerful and I love it.

Empty~ PVRIS 

I imagine Twinkle singing this. Only her again. 

But this time, it's a whole different mood. It's full of despair and it's sung like a list of confessions. 

It makes my heart ache. </3 

Because like.. Twinkle doesn't enjoy life and being alive. She feels empty (especially starting in the 60s arc and into the 70s arc that's out so far). She used to think that Duke saved her (that they saved each other), but later on they realize they're still as, possibly more, broken as they were from the start. They said they loved each other, but was it real love? Then she gets frustrated that she didn't really change much at all, and she believes that people like Duke and her parents are trying to force her to change who she is.

Caught In The Storm~ Our Last Night 

As for my characters singing, I imagine it being Duke (feat. Finny). Duke singing most of it; Finny singing only a part of the song. 

They're singing about how they were friends and how they miss each other. They're nostalgic, really. 

Duke thinks Finny never changed, that he's still a good friend. And yeah, he does have a special place in his heart for Finny (like he did help push Duke out of his suffering.. well, kind of). 

It's sweet.

Tongue Tied~ Our Last Night 

I imagine Finny singing this. Though he thinks about Duke when he sings this, Duke doesn't sing it with him. 

I'm thinking of Finny when he's 'working' under Taurel. One word out of line, and he gets punished. When Finny spoke up against Taurel and Risak's plans, basically saying "it's wrong, you've gone too far" and they've basically manipulated him into thinking Duke isn't his friend.. oh and then Risak either hits Finny or throws him against a wall (maybe both? I forgot). 

Finny also is speaking for Duke in some of the lyrics. Finny has to watch what he says, or they'll go against him like they've gone against Duke. They're trying to make Finny feel guilt, and the same goes for Duke but obviously with more threats and violence.

Hard Feelings~ Palisades 

I imagine Duke and Fierdan singing this together. 

They have feelings, that's for sure. Some of which that are very bitter about each other.

Ooh, there's some tension! 

But it's also the feelings about things they have the same views on. 

Yeah sure.
