working on something

[illusionsofdreaming]

If you were to make a song fic, because God knows how many WIPs you crazy good writers have, what song would you use, and for what fandom, and for what character, and why?? You can choose as many songs as you'd like!!!

Funny thing is, I can’t write with music at all. Like. I need complete silence when I’m writing or I’ll get distracted. And this is true for anything I do, be it work, reading, gaming, etc. The only thing I can get done with music playing in the background is when I’m making art. So compared to the writers you might be thinking of, I don’t actually have that many WIPs that are inspired-by or are song based.

I picked a few songs that have inspired a mood in me and one day I hope to actually write something for it but we’ll have to see when that’ll actually happen hahaha....

🎵 "So Close" from the movie Enchanted, by Jon McLaughlin 

JOKES, I actually DID find one WIP inspired by a song. WOW. Wow. I mean does anyone still remember I said I was working on a Hríd three part imagine and that just never happened? Yeah man.. that was actually inspired by his story & a big part was thanks to this song - specifically these lyrics:

“So close to reaching, that famous happy end.

Almost believing, this one’s not pretend,

And now you’re beside me, and look how far we’ve come.”

Each of these sentences sets a theme for individual parts of the imagine- and wow. WOW. that I managed to find this WIP at the bottom. Gives me lots of feels because I had so many ideas for this and was so excited to write for it- I mean look at this:

---{  He stood with an air of weariness and defeat surrounding him yet when his eyes found yours, it was like sunlight shining through cloud covers, his face brightened with such warmth and happiness it stole your breath away.

He told you of goodbyes and last meetings, of forgetting and remembering. 

He spoke your name.

Then you woke up.  }---

I think. I had something amazing happening there- urgh.. now this just made me feel like finishing it...

🎵 "Something I Need " by One Republic 

look. call me out on being old. but this song will always have a special place in my heart. its lyrics are simple and easy to understand but I’ll never get over the fact that it went from “I want to die with you” to “I want to live with you.” This song makes me want to write redemption arcs.

🎵 "Color" by Todrick Hall

*incomprehensible screaming* this song is the cutest thing ever. THE VIDEO IS ALSO SO GOOD. I literally had this song on repeat 5 billion times when it was first released. GODS, this song made me crave a wholesome relationship so much- I’ve never wanted to hold someone’s hand so dang much- 

*ahem* anyways. it also gave me good soulmate au vibes so I definitely give this song 500% rating even if it doesn’t inspire any earth shattering WIP ideas in me - the mood is 100000% on point.

🎵 "Superman" by Rachel Platten

moving on from fluffy songs. this song gives me angst, hurt, comfort vibes. like.. if I listened to this on loop for a few times I’d probably start bawling and start writing sad af imagines for all those characters that need therapy like ASAP. 

moods: thinking of hurt, wounded animals, so fearful and angry at the world that the only thing they know is to lash out and hurt- themselves and others. Then comes along reader/character and they’re the only one who bothers to stay- weather the snarls and bites and tears and there’s so much struggling to the point that it almost seem impossible- but then the clouds start thinning and the first ray of light breaks through- there’s hope and it’s left an ambiguous ending but highly suggestive that it’ll get better.

..and this song would be playing at the ending where we see two broken characters limping towards well deserved rest.

possible characters: Sylvain, Dimitri, Niles, Saizo, Choi Han, Xiao, Childe, Venti, Cale- look, I can fit everyone into this, with unique stories but will I ever get to writing it? 

*sad trumpet noises* 

🎵 "Something Just Like This" by The Chainsmokers, Coldplay

I mean. I really like the lyrics and the beat is boppin’. 

The Chainsmokers summarise the mood of their song pretty well: “'Something Just Like This' is about a relationship that doesn't need to be superhumanly perfect, an ordinary love, a love everyone deserves."

-and that’s the vibe I’m thinking of as well if I were to write an imagine based on this song. probably am imagine where the character is doubting their worth in the relationship due to either being: the underdogs (Sylvain, Gaius, Niles), characters with imposter syndromes (Venti, Saizo), characters living with survivors guilt (Kaze, Dimitri, Kaeya, Hríd)

jfc.. everyone that needs therapy basically.

On what coming into ones self is like

I’ve decided that coming into oneself hurts. The changes in your brain and heart stretch and pull at the fabric of who you understood yourself to be as a child, a lot like growing pains. Only this is felt much more deeply and with a resounding, lingering, permanence in the core. When the stretch ceases and the cells settle, you begin to see that there are some parts of yourself that didn’t quite line up with others, but yet, others still that you weren’t entirely aware of; that heated glow that had been simmering, and now, under enormous pressure, bulges, waiting to erupt.

Society demands one thing when your soul tells you, wants, and desires another, leaving you with an entirely different kind of hollow and lonely hurt. Bone deep and frustrating; blurring the lines of the form your soul is begging to take. Denying oneself this is the root of confusion and self-loathing.

Allowing others (others who are all struggling with the artistry of sculpting along with you,) to alter or halt the creative process is like adding fuel to the fire that is already engulfing the whole of the Hindenburg.

Don’t be afraid of your soul. If you listen, it will tell you exactly what you need in order to be at peace with the churning ocean in your heart and brain.

Be afraid of voices telling you otherwise.
