What's a song you associate with Delta because of the lyrics, and What's a song you associate with Delta for the tune/vibe? & If you had to pick an art piece as an album cover (for individual characters, or for their story as a whole) what'd it be?
Hi Alda!! Thank you for the ask MWAH love you hehe
The first time I read this I was thinking you mean Delta the character not the story as a whole but we good I caught myself. My bad for naming them the same.
What's a song you associate with Delta because of the lyrics?
I actually landed on three here, but two are kiyomi and one is more jun/kiyomi/delta which I think best encompasses the story vibe.
So first, Anything Like Me by Poppy is very very Jun and Kiyo/Delta to me in the sense that the two of them being so alike is a driving forve for Kiyomi's actions and she's really shoving it into Jun's face. I see the lyrics going both ways but Jun is definitely the one that feels the most discomfort about the fact
I feel her heart beating in me
Get her out of me
Sorry for what I've become
Because I'm becoming someone
Your hand on my neck, you call up the press
Die for the attention
You pray for a reaction
I'll stop when it's no more fun
If this is the start, then let's see how far
You're gonna take this one
You shouldn't be anything like me
You shouldn't be anything like me
Honestly I'm surprised I didn't clip a bigger section, the whole song really applies I think. I also really love how Poppy sings the last repeated part in the song and I think it adds to the vibe.
Second song is Kiyomi's song of all time, Valley of the Dolls by Marina (and the Diamonds because this is an older one). It just very much is her, so much so that when I made her into a jojo character this was her stand.
Pick a personality for free
When you feel like nobody-body
Born with a void, hard to destroy
With love or hope
Built with a heart, broken from the start
And now, I die slow
In the valley of the dolls, we sleep
Got a hole inside of me
Living with identities
That do not belong to me
In my life, I got this far
Now I'm ready for the last hoorah
Dying like a shooting star
Oh Kiyomi I love you more than anything in this world, my horrible horrible girl.
Last song for the lyrics choice is Church Outfit also by Poppy. It's a self idulgent choice because it's the song that's paired with my favorite Kiyomi drawing, but it also lines up very well with the canon situation regarding Kiyomi's wedding dress.
This is the dress I want to be buried in
Leave the rings, I might need them
Unholy water, take a sip
This is my church outfit
Life is a commercial for death
Anger is something I worked to manifest
Life is a commercial for death
And you're hypnotized by the advertisement
Can't say too much here I already get very spoilery as is but I wanna draw back on that.
What's a song you associate with Delta for the tune/vibe?
Easy answer, hands down Deal with the Devil by Tia. This is exactly how I want Delta to sound, and the fact that its from a gambling anime when Kiyomi's gambling problem is prevalent in the story makes it even better.
I also just really love this song. Its really fun even though Delta is quite dreary, and it just encapsulates what I want so well. Bonus fun fact is that Tia is Kiyomi's voice claim!
If you had to pick an art piece as an album cover (for individual characters, or for their story as a whole) what'd it be?
Not to be heavily reliant on all my newer art, but going through what I have available to me and what's recent enough for me to want to share (sorry Delta art of the early 2020s), I settled on these for Kiyomi, Delta, and Jun. Cropped em to squares and everything
