OC Playlist game

I was tagged by @dotr-rose-love and I just thought, why not.

I have never talked about my OCs on this blog before, so feel free to just skip this post if you are not interested.

For the past 6 or 7 years I have had this idea of a book that I want to write. I'm not doing great on the writing aspect, but the story and its characters haven't left my head so I'm guessing that's a good sign.

In this game, I will put down some songs that I have associated with one of my main characters, Noah Ridley. Now, in order for you to understand the reason I picked these songs, I'll have to tell you a few things about him.

My book is inspired a lot by Avatar, so there are people who can yield elements (fire, water, air, earth-which is divided into two categories, material and nature-and storm). Noah is an "Airbender", or as I call them, a Windborne. He is also the Spirit-blessed, a Windborne that has been chosen by the Wind deity and thus has some more special powers (I'm not going to put more details about this here, but if you are interested I might make more posts about it).

Long story short, Noah had to kill his own parents because they were turned into dark shells of themselves (Shadowtamers) by the main villain of my book and there were no means to make them normal again (yet). After this he hated himself, blamed his weakness for their deaths and let himself get caught by the villain, who has him tortured in order to turn him into a Shadowtamer too. Confined in a dark cell with no light, that fills with water every once in a while and empties just before his drowning point, Noah only thinks of his family, and how he deserves this punishment that could never wash the blood from his hands. Happy stuff.

And without further ado, here are some songs that remind me of him and inspire me!

Destroyer - Of Monsters and Men

"You better run boy, run, but be afraid Cry boy, cry Don't play the game Gravity holds me down

And it's taking over I call everywhere, oh I cry out

You are my destroyer I call everywhere, oh I cry out"

Well, this song is self-explanatory I think. It gives me the impression of someone who is suffering from something they did or something that happened to them. The lyric "Gravity holds me down" fits really well also because of his powers, since in my book Windborne defy gravity and are free-spirited, so to be held down by gravity for them is the same as dying. The memories of his family, both the happy ones and their deaths, are constantly taking over him and they are his "destroyer".

2. Everything I wanted - Billie Eilish

"I had a dream I got everything I wanted Not what you'd think And if I'm being honest It might've been a nightmare To anyone who might care

Thought I could fly So I stepped off the Golden Nobody cried Nobody even noticed I saw them standing right there Kinda thought they might care"

Now this is interesting. This song makes me think so much of Noah it hurts. Every time I listen to it I have this thought that he dreams he is on the top of a building, and his family is looking up at him from below, beckoning him down. They are just "standing right there", and "they might care" if this wasn't a dream and if he didn't actually feel like he wanted to die. But all he wants is to step off and join them in the afterlife, because he feels that that's what he deserves.

"I had a dream I got everything I wanted But when I wake up, I see You with me"

Now this person is my main character, Skye, who is also the love interest of Noah. The first book, which is mostly about her searching for him to rescue him, explores their connection through dreams and their blossoming romance.

Now I'll add some honorable mentions, songs that vaguely remind me of him, but not as specifically as the first two.

3. Drown - Bring me the Horizon

4. Numb - Tom Odell

5. Saved my Life - Sia

And... that's it! Sorry for the spam! If you are interested in stuff like this, let me know and I can post in more detail about my world and my children. See ya!
