A Book of Creatures by @a-book-of-creatures doesn't update these days but is another thing along these lines, really huge, fully illustrated all by the author and cites all sources
In the ye olde days, when technology allowed phones to become small but there was no general concensus on what a phone should/ought to look like, it was like the wild west of phone design. The crazier it was, the higher the prestige. Phones back then did two things and they did them with flamboyance.
WHO THE FUCK IS MELANIE????? TELL ME MOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember when I sent you character ideas for Blorbinox? We narrowed it down to two: Crystal, and a pathetic gay sorcerer.
Yes, that’s right, the reason I chose to play Crystal over my other guy was because we couldn’t have TWO pathetic gay sorcerers running around. And THANK GOD for that because I would have never been able to do it as well as Kiro plays Staid.
But I still loved the idea of playing a sorcerer having their own magic suddenly manifest and upheave their life (for better and worse). So when I came back to the concept and developed it more, I found myself leaning more towards playing a femme character. 90% of the reason being I could never be him (Staid).
To actually answer your question, Melanie is my lesbian disaster shadow sorcerer, who prefers to summon illusionary crates to hide in rather than fight, and complains a lot about being stuck in a haunted swamp.
🎵 for raziel, crystal, agnes and the duke, and wart
yes hello thank you for feeding me my wife <3
We doing a character playlist ask game!
Raizel 🔥🗡️🌹
Take Me to War by The Crane Wives
To summarize, the majority of Raizel’s childhood was spent growing up during a demonic invasion. I love this song for her because despite having so much trauma surrounding war, she also has so much pent up anger that leaves her longing for a fight. That paired with her love for using pet names makes the chorus “Take me to war / Honey I dare you” truly sound like a threat she would say.
Not to mention! Other lyrics in this song that fit her thematically such as: “All of the fire I've swallowed/ All of the sparks that went dark in my gut / I am always burning up”
Crystal 💎⚔️🪞
girl in a china shop by Caroline Romano
This is one of the newest additions to Crystal’s playlist. It’s a bit more of a girly pop jam, which is a vibe that’s not the most fitting for her, but there’s so much here lyrics wise that really hits at Crystal being a messy person (which her playlist needs more of I think). The chorus “I break things / I take things / Composure I’m faking / Compound my mistakes / Until everyone hates me” really hits that triple whammy of acting on selfish desires, lying to herself/others as a coping mechanism, and doing/saying shit that pushes friends away.
Then of course this song’s theme about fragility pairs so well with her mirror bullshit. I especially enjoy the line “I carry a baseball bat and a broom / But I’m the most breakable thing in the room” for Crystal.
Agnes (and the Duke) 👁️🐸🩸
I think out of all my pcs, I’ve unfortunately got the least thoughts (and therefore songs) for Agnes. She got stuck in a meat grinder campaign that then went on hiatus pretty quickly after I joined. But hopefully one day I can go back to playing her or repurposing her for something else!
Daughter by Doll Skin
Agnes is a (pathfinder) changeling. Her fear of becoming a hag like her mother is what drove her into making a pact with her mysterious and spiteful patron. Sooo yeah, punk mommy issues song. In addition to the refrain, my favorite lyrics for Agnes here is “I'm a force that can't be stolen / With every struggle, make mama proud”
Wart ⛏️🍄👻
Clean Slated State by The Altogether
Wart is the ultimate people pleaser! His ass does not know how to be alone! He’s so desperate for friends that he changed his appearance (by virtue of being a little mushroom guy) to appear more friendly and “cute”. That’s why I love the chorus in this song for them “Do you need someone, do you need a new me? / 'Cause I've got two or three”
The lyrics “Build a quilt from all who have loved me / And all I have ever known / Don't leave me alone” also hit so hard for Wart and the loss of their family (and therefore sense of self).
Melanie ⛓️💥💜🎻
You’re getting a bonus because I have the time and need to have more thoughts about her before the next session.
Dirty Imbecile by The Happy Fits
Loooove this song and there’s a couple of lyrics here that’s great for Melanie. She’s a spoiled rich kid with very controlling parents. Melanie lives her life in denial by telling herself that the life her parents chose for her is also something she wants. So the entire verse of “Love my mum and love my daddy / Sure they messed me up but that is / Voices that they left inside of my head / Darling, dearest, don't you see / I'm tough, I'm smart, I'm bourgeoisie? / And I'll play out this lie until we're all dead” kind of hits the nail on head imo.
Poppy is a punk ass little shit who found her calling killing things and taking orders in the army. Until some divine a-hole decided they were her calling. She loves fiercely and to a fault. She's looking for something, and probably won't know she's found it until she's lost it.
Everyone else below the cut!
👻 Miranda Ridgemont
🎵 You Are My Sunshine by Johnny Cash
Oh boy. I think Miranda hums this to herself whenever she's feeling particularly lonely. The association between Lanthander (god of dawn/her god) and the loss of Yven (her lover) gives her comfort like booze does for an alcoholic. A soft ditty that stabs through her dead heart with every line.
🏵 Buttercup the GOAT
🎵 Picture You by Chappell Roan
I feel like this one isn't sung from Buttercup's point of view, but the "mirror's". Buttercup is doing the actions, but not aware she's being watched while doing it. The subject of voyerism both as a kept pet and under the eyes of the Gods and the Courts.
Bonus!
🦅 Melody "Valkyrie" Steadman
🎵 Squeez by Shawn Wasabi and Raychel Jay
Melody likes using music to be flirty. She can dance and flirt with the cameras as a prohero keeping her and All Might's relationship secret while still flirting in public. It's up to him to keep a smile and not stare. Not to say she won't repeat her performance for him behind closed doors.
Melody Steadman is a hero. When she isn't working, she still needs to stay in shape. And keeping up with Mr. Number One Hero himself isn't easy. How are you supposed to help (let alone beat) deus ex machina? Anyway. She tries her best
Do threats and punishments make people change their behaviour to the desired? Or does it make them prepare for the punishment? The answer will shock you.
what is the fucking skiing squirrel😭 you are fighting battles i know nothing about
Twiggy the Water Skiing Squirrel is a novelty performing animal and alleged aquatic safety advocate who tours malls of the United States of America. My sister is besotted with her capacity to stand on a floating platform and be dragged about by a tiny remote control boat and has gone to not insignificant lengths to see her in person.
