    *rolls into thread with a 4-hour playlist for her fantroll 'verse, most of which are quadrant songs*
    *cackles maniacally*

    No lyrics, but the title and energy feel like a fantastic pitch date to me.


    One of the core matespritships involved in our 'verse has a VERY wide caste difference, so two flushed songs that rather have that life expectancy mismatch in mind:



    pale *~<>~*


    problematically pale



    (also FWIW we have a Very Large Amount of Sufferist music picked out, because we are Nerds)

    how did I forget this one yesterday, it is THE pitch song:

    Kill me romantically, fill my soul with vomit
    then ask me for a piece of gum
    Bitter and dumb, you're my sugarplum
    You're awful, I love you...

    prismaticvoid Too Too Abstract

    Literally everything Phillip Phillips does is so pale I can't handle it
    @lilacsofthedead Girl With One Eye is my go-to Scourge Sisters song bless
    Another pale-shading-to-red song:

    Probably fucked up spades but spades nonetheless:

    emythos Lipstick Hoarding Dragon

    This song hits me as pale, even though it has a line about love growing red XD
    so, pale->red flip song?

    *pops head in* Did someone say 'quadrant songs'? :D



    This is such a spades song. The first time I listened to it after reading Homestuck I just about burst into laughter as I realized it - which was awkward, as I was waiting for a bus.

    I also made an entire moirallegiance playlist a while ago. They're all great songs, but this is one of my absolute favorites:

    A black relationship starting to flip red


    This one seems really pale to me


    In Which a Character Attempts to Auspitize but Fails and Accidentally Causes the Other Too to Start Flipping Red Over Their Mutual Dislike of the Auspitice


    A spades song inspired by Hamilton


    (can you tell what show i just discovered?)

    How did I miss this thread?

    My latest favorite diamond song, by a friend of mine:


    Hold on to the river song
    Place your pockets round your hands
    Place in me all you hope to be
    And we'll rise, and we'll rise, and we'll rise


    And more pale, though they don't seem to have hooked up yet. Even the title is pale:


    By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
    Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
    And there's something less about her
    And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
    So I sit down and I cry too
    And don't let her see


    Can siblings be moirails? Because this is written about brothers but it's crazy pale:


    Everything goes away, yeah everything goes away
    But I'm gonna be here till I'm nothing
    But bones in the ground
    So quiet down


    And one pitch song for variety:


    I call her Trouble, she calls me Weakness
    I call her Trouble and she calls me Weakness
    Sweet symbiosis she calls inconvenience
    Aw, Trouble keeps calling on me

    PotteryWalrus halfway hideous and halfway sweet

    I've been hyperfocussing on this song as of late, and it strikes me as either bitterly ash or desperately, dysfunctionally pale -

    Nah, it's gotta be pitch. I mean, the song's central metaphor is about orgasms.

    unknownanonymous i am inimitable, i am an original|18+

    yep, that sure is spades. :D

    and now i will be looking at that horse-riding scene from spirit rather differently - but i'm okay with that. :D

    A moirail song:

     
  13. Deresto

    Deresto Foolish Mortal

    this could be used as a kismesistude song. i remembered it when i decided to play band hero again:

     
  14. unknownanonymous

    unknownanonymous i am inimitable, i am an original|18+

    strip by jessie j is totally a <3< song. it's hard to explain, really, but there's this sense of "i want you but you can be better than this" and an antagonistic request for emotional intimacy and a refusal to take any shit from the other person and of "i can tell you're lying/hiding and i want you to cut that shit out."

    Hmm, this thread needs more clubs.

    A song about people who have fucked each other up but still want to help each other:

    That's when she said "I don't hate you,
    But I just want to save you,
    While there's still something left to save."
    That's when I told her "I love you,
    Girl, but I'm not the answer to
    The questions that you still have."
    I don't hate you...


    For the middle leaf, who knows how to help but they're not being let in:

    I can see it in your eye
    I can see your shaking hand.
    Yes, I think you think I'm stupid,
    You don't think I understand.
    Yes, I see you, and I see myself
    When I was a younger man.


    And a song for the outer leaf, for when you don't know why they put up with you but you're so glad they do:

    I'm sorry 'bout the attitude:
    I need to give when I'm with you,
    But no one else will take this shit from me.
    And I'm so terrified of no one else but me.
    I'm here all the time,
    And I won't go away.

    @TheSeer aaaaaaaaaaa that first one though... it fits almost perfectly for a fantroll ship @Anomal(eee) and I are doing for a dysfunctional pale relationship that's flipping ash. (What do you think, Kai?)

    Now I'm curious about the characters. Tag me in "Tell me about your OC" or something?
