plot ideas based on songs i've liked at one point in life (a-e)
warnings: potentially unhealthy relationships, cheating. the first idea is nsfw.
Animal by The Cab (I wish I could give you my love and my soul, but inside my chest there is nobody home. My heart may be missing, but my hands will make up for it): Muse a is said to be a passionate lover in bed… As long as there are no feelings involved other than lust and mutual appreciation for the human body. Over the years, they have gained the reputation of heartless due to how quickly and effortlessly they switch between partners once their sexual appetite is filled. Muse b, on the other hand, has the reputation of a romantic at heart. The one you take to meet your parents, with whom you know you’re meant to live a happily married life. Someone you only get involved with seriously. When they meet, the sexual attraction is obvious. Muse a wishes they could give them something else. As they take muse b home, they can’t help but feel as if they were corrupting them. What muse a surely didn’t expect was that, once they got to a more private place, muse b could end up being as animalistic as them.
Beautiful Liar by Beyoncé & Shakira (Tell me how to forgive you, when it’s me who’s ashamed? I wish could free you of the hurt and the pain. But the answer is simple: he’s the one to blame): ok, but where are my plots of beautiful ladies people who were being two-timed and decided to stick together against the fucker who did this to them instead of fighting each other? It’s your cliché cheating story: muse a and muse c have been in a relationship for a while. They have their ups and downs, good and bad moments. Muse c meets muse b and starts another relationship. Muses a and b don’t know about each other. Little by little, they begin noticing something seems… Off. Eventually, they learn about each other and feel angry and ashamed, respectively. Still, they get to know each other and it becomes clear who’s the one to blame for the entire mess. As they make a revenge plan against muse c, the two get closer and allow themselves to heal from the pain.
Cave Me In by Gallant, Tablo & Eric Nam (Gravity makes wonders, but on us it doesnt seem to weigh. Float like clouds on water, we're waves across an open plain): listen, just slowly realizing your feelings towards someone ok? At first, muse a and b are scared of these foreign feelings and try to hide it. They have both had their own past and have learned that love can be filled with juxtapositions. Still, every time they spend time around one another, they can't help but fall deeper. More than that, it seems like the more they try to deny it, the more they gravitate towards each other. They start to accept that they like each other, but now hope the other will make the first move. Bonus: As I listened to this song, I kept thinking of two people sharing an Uber (or a cab or ride or bus) after some sort of party. And just looking at each other and having the sort of atmosphere that is both heavy with unsaid things and so so light and freeing.
Day 1 by K.Will (Of all the ugly guys, I'm the best looking. What do I have to do to let you know how I feel? I'm not that handsome, but I think I look cute when I smile. I'll do better than all the guys out there. My love, I love you): Muse a has been secretly in love with muse b for some time and The Time Has Arrived for them to confess! But they have no idea how to do it! They decide to show they are Worthy of muse b's love in the most cheesy and silliest possible ways. From coincidently going to the same places to leaving them overcooked meals. Including buying flowers, taking them to the cinema and asking all of their friends for advice! Just lots of first love vibes and fluff and clumsiness and giggling and insecurity and maybe misunderstandings and ':OOO muse b is a gODDESS and deserves everything good in this earth and i'll try to prove i can be good enough for their love'.
Eyes, Nose, Lips by Taeyang + Eyes, Nose, Lips by Tablo, Taeyang & DJ Tukutz (My selfishness that couldn’t let you go turned into an obsession that imprisoned you. Were you hurt because of me? / Take it slow and let time heal everything. They say that time flies, but you keep breaking its wings): Muse a and muse b love each other, but sometimes this isn't enough. For the past few months, their relationship has been slowly falling apart. Muse a relentlessly tries to fix it, without realizing that the more they do so, the more they hurt muse b in the process. The plot could revolve around their relationship crumbling apart up until muse b decides to end it. A bad break up ensues and they are left with their memories. Muse a cherishes them and every single detail of their ex-lover. They can't help but think of every thing that could have been done differently and secretly hope to see muse b again. Muse b, after so much pain and empty promises, just wants to move on. They hope time will heal the scars left from the relationship and let the memories fade to black.
