For @horizon-events base jams day 2: single artist

Vienna Teng: So many of her songs fit perfectly into the world and it’s themes. (V teng is also a sustainability activist!)

Here’s a playlist inspired by each of the Sobecks (and some art!)

This is not my art, but I thought I'd still share it here. I saw @horizon-events's Base Jams and thought I'd participate on the last day with an Aloy themed playlist I made. There's also an extended version if you want more than 10 tracks, although I might move tracks around in that one some more.

The playlist is a mix of acoustic songs and electronica. I chose these tracks either because I felt the lyrics represented Aloy's struggle and cause or for having the kind of auditory style that I associate with the world of Horizon. I recommend listening to them in my Custom order for a more balanced experience.

Hope you enjoy it!

so if you're lonely [HorizonBaseJams, day 1]

My entry for Horizon Base Jams day 1: Ship Playlist. I wish you could’ve all been there to watch me pare down my thirty-hour (!!) master Aloy/Talanah playlist to this sampling of ten songs. I was so sweaty and it was very painful

anyway enjoy some bops

HorizonBaseJams 2/16: NPC - The Soldiers of Operation Enduring Victory

Music inspired by soldiers who fought in a doomed war to the bitter end.

Y'all probably thought it'd be Silga, but NOPE. I grew to care a lot for these soldiers while writing my Big Bang piece, more than I ever expected to. This is a pared down version of a larger fic playlist I used when writing, with a focus on songs that especially inspired the black box vignettes found in the fic.

It follows a certain flow, meant to start as an idealistic fantasy of soldiers taking on impossible odds together, then slowly dissolves as those same soldiers lose hope and grow disillusioned, before finally falling into despair when their end is in sight.

I pretty much never share my playlists, so this is pretty new to me, but I've been itching to show off my pride and joy for a while now, so I thought the Horizon Base Jams would be the perfect chance!

My ship playlist for Day 1 centers around Tilda/Elisabet and Tilda/Aloy. That might be cheating a little, but I'm sure that, for Tilda, the latter is a bit of a continuation of the former, haha ^^ You might know I don't really ship Aloy with anyone, but this can be intepreted as one-sided.

Essay with my reasoning under the cut for anyone who wants it!

Piece of art - An intro to Tilda's relationship with Lis! The obsessive overtones are simply perfect. And, of course, Tilda views the world through an artistic lens, as art is her escape, the main thing that brings her comfort.

Buy the Stars - The only song from Elisabet's POV in this playlist. "You don't know me, how do you own me?" Tilda says in canon that she always felt that she didn't fully know Elisabet, that Lis knew her better than she knew Lis, and I think Lis probably felt the same way.

Left Behind - Now we're getting closer to Tilda's Far Zenith era. Lis and Tilda are running out of time due to circumstances out of their control (the Faro Plague) and end up separated by Zero Dawn and Far Zenith. Whether the "lover left behind" refers to Tilda, because she outlived Lis, or to Lis, because she stayed behind to die on Earth, I'll leave up to your interpretation.

Immortal (Reinairy) - This represents Tilda's grief over Elisabet and her inability to let go, even after a thousand years. I also like to think as the mentions of rain and sunrise and nature in general refer to Tilda longing to see a new, better world, to see "Elisabet's dream" come to fruition.

Of course, "I'll always find you again and again, and I'll lose every version of you" refers to Aloy (and perhaps Beta, if you wish to interpret it that way).

The Zombie Song - The start of Tilda's love for Aloy! It's a post-apocalyptic romance, a little gory and a bit forbidden, and, before Tilda betrays Far Zenith, she and Aloy are fighting on opposing sides. "A love this deep won't stay buried" is yet another reference to Elisabet's death.

How Dare You? - I like to imagine this one as a representation of the feelings going through Tilda's head during the scene at her mansion. Equal parts possessive, overprotective, and desperate, she's finally able to talk to Aloy in person and confess how much she has changed her outlook.

"I'll lock you in a world of my creation and bury the key" refers to how Tilda has already made her plans for the new world, as well as to take Aloy hostage for its sake. And of course, "show me how to fall in love again" is Tilda begging to feel the happiness and comfort she had only felt with Lis once again. Beta couldn't give it to her, but Aloy surely will. Right?

Power & Control - This is mostly a representation of Tilda's alliance with Aloy, but also her defiance of Far Zenith. "You can't have peace without a war," as Tilda must rebel against the Zeniths to earn the happy ending she wants with Aloy.

"You may be good-looking but you're not a piece of art," in particular, is about Beta.

Immortal (Marina) - A good closing song, because it reminds me of Tilda's apparent death. "If I could buy forever at a price, I would buy it twice" could refer either to Tilda wishing she had taken Elisabet with her in the first place, or to her wanting a relationship with Aloy like the one she had with Elisabet.

Love From the Other Side - My crowning jewel! I left it for the very end because I feel like it sums up Tilda's relationship with the Sobecks all throughout her life the best. From the loneliness that permeated her life on Earth and the way she felt out of place in Far Zenith, to the art metaphor, to Tilda's dependence on Lis, to the way they were separated by the apocalypse, to her "falling in and out of love" due to Beta failing to live up to her expectations, to her betrayal of Far Zenith, to her betrayal of Aloy and to the obsessive love that led to her demise, it's my personal favorite without a doubt.
