Considering sharing my playlist of songs that remind me of "Splintered" by AG Howard. If I get 5 likes on this post, I'll share half of it, as well as why that specific song is on there. Only some of them are from the authors playlist. I like to listen to these songs and be reminded of certain parts of the series. Anywho, let me know if that's something anyone is even interested in. Also, if you're a Splintered fan or you post about Splintered content, lmk so I can give you a follow, I feel like it's such a small fandom!
Update: Wow! I didn't expect this to get more than 2 likes, but here we are! Anywho, as promised, my splintered playlist:
Sharp Dressed Man-Brad Paisley (any version, I just like Brad's voice) I feel like this is very much how Morpheus perceives himself in general, but especially as it pertains to Alyssa. I feel like in the second book, we saw a little more of his preening side in M, and most of that is just him being him, but I think we can all agree that he was showing off at least a bit for Alyssa.
Crazy (Cover)-Daniela Andrade. As we see Alyssa give in more and more to her netherling tendencies, she not only accepts it, she leans into it. She realizes in Wonderland that even if some people back home saw her as crazy, she has a whole realm of beings that encourage her to be the craziest version of herself, the part of her that is natural. She is never more herself than when she accepts who she is as a whole. And maybe that makes her crazy 😉
Not Strong Enough-Apocalyptica. I think this one was part of A. G. Howard's playlist for Morpheus, I forget, but the themes and tone of the song easily fit with the tone of Morpheus throughout all the books. The way he doesn't even try to fight his feelings for Alyssa, no matter how she seems to disdain him and his feelings. I could easily get into a Morpheus mindset just by listening to this song. I don't know that there's one particular moment that this song fits, just his character as a whole.
You Should See Me In A Crown-Billie Eilish. So, I don't want to give spoilers for book 3, but if you know, you know. All I'll say is Alyssa.
All I Ask-Adele. (SPOILER WARNING ⚠)OK, so if you haven't read book 3, this is a spoiler of the ending, so do not read past this point if you have not read the entirety of book 3!!!!!!! Ok, but Morpheus and Alyssa, after they get done with their tour of Wonderland and go back to his place 😭😭😭 anywho, this song very much puts me in the feels for that part! Like, just the whole dialogue and everything, and Morpheus not being a butt for one second lol...anywho, yeah, this song...
That's not the entire playlist, that was just a sampling, but if yall want the rest, just lmk. Sorry if anyone is dissatisfied with my song choices, I can't speak for others, this is just personally what goes through my head for these parts of the books. Lots of love, stay crazy!
