I can ruin people for you. I want to ruin people for you.
Another @the-darklings inspired playlist based on my fave contentious reader insert, Lady Stark. This is a modern leaning soundtrack, and I specifically tried to keep it to female vocalists only (it’s what felt right). Somewhat cold and/or spacey in its production, ranging from what feels like howling winter storms to light snow flurries, and some layered vocal bits. I wanted it to feel like the sonic equivalent of the isolation that someone like LS, an only child and heiress, would experience.
Some of these are external. The literal northern winds, and the persona that LS puts forth. This dominant, direct woman who knows what she wants. Someone with the type of remote personality that would make people hesitant to approach her first.
Some are internal. The quieter softer parts that exist within LS that she has trained herself to keep away from the prying eyes of those who would want to watch her fall. She is not a monolith, no interesting character is. Anyways, I wish I could say there was a proper thematic reason behind the order of these songs, but there isn’t. Explanation for what made the list (and some honorable mentions for what I had to cull) below the cut:
