Songs you associate with fictional characters

have you ever like...listened to a song where some of the lines are so intensely a specific character that even though a lot of the song really doesn't fit you still think of it as a song for that character?



this is like half creepy entitled fratboy villain song and half intensely Badeline
especially the lines "When all you thought of me was a beast that can't be tamed/The monster that you saw before is the monster I became" that's like the most Badeline song lyric I have ever heard

 

Having finally read through the whole LP of Dangan Ronpa 1, this is the themesong for the epilogue for me.

Spoiler: you know in case you haven't played/read it yet

Well, out here in the dust if you don't have trust
Ain't nothing left of us, this is the exodus
They're just testing us, they can't flex with us
They can't mess with us, they can't mess with us

Oh, through the wilderness
How come even together there can be loneliness?
Oh, our heart's a mess
But it's our only defense to brave the wilderness

Well, cross my heart and hope to die
Taking this one step at a time
I got your back if you got mine
Oh, one foot in front of the other!

 

@GlassesBlu have you seen this, it is very Yes

 

I have seen it! And yes, it's very yes heheh

 

give me a bit and i can justify it, but on gut instant alone this is a ritsu kageyama song

Spoiler: lyrics

Black wave coming will it hit
I can taste the fear yeah it’s written on my lips
Sipping on a cold one waiting for the rinse
Woke up with an omen tatted on my wrist
Black wave coming will it drop
I can see the fear yeah it’s written on the wall
Who you gonna trust when the killer is the cop
Fire in my bloodstream, water in my lungs

Waiting on a black wave
Running in a rat maze
Shaking in my own cage
What do I believe? I believe
Waiting on a black wave
Living under bad days
Shaking in my own cage
What do I believe
Stumbling down the street I swear to god you don’t wanna test me

Black wave blocking out the sun
Baby when you go down ain’t no coming up
Thought that you were safe but nobody ever was
Choking on a diamond, poison in your lungs
At the end guess we’re all just animals
At the end is it all just greed
When the ocean crash down who you gonna call
Hold your breath, hold your breath, counting 1 2

Waiting on a black wave
Running in a rat maze
Shaking in my own cage
What do I believe? I believe
Waiting on a black wave
Living under bad days
Shaking in my own cage
What do I believe
Stumbling down the street I swear to god you don’t wanna test me

 

Oooh I can see it as a Ritsu song! Especially when he Goes Off in s1, I like it!

ETA
Also I like some of K.flay's stuff and I think this song is cool! Thanks for sharing

 

A lot of various SU things, but mostly Jaspis and PearlRose.

Jaspis especially. That second verse.

 

badeline song???

 

IN KEEPING WITH THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS, I CONTINUE TO BE VERY SAD ABOUT CLONE TROOPERS


As a child you would wait
And watch from far away
But you always knew that you'd be the one
To work while they all play

In youth you'd lay
Awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change
But it was just a dream

Here we are, don't turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust

 

HEY DID SOMEONE ASK FOR ME TO CRASH IN WITH MORE SU/TMBG ASSOCIATIONS? No? TOO BAD


Bismuth re: Rose (video cw: blood, death, flies)

Bismuth in general

The rebellion from the CGs’ point of view (“We were once so close to heaven/Peter came out and gave us medals/Declaring us the nicest of the damned”)

 

I was aware this was a good song for Dirk from Homestuck, I just didn't know it would be nearly one to one.

 

the crow by dessa is dave strider through and through

Spoiler: video

 

someone finally put The Rose Lalonde Song up on youtube!!! it's probably not actually The Rose Lalonde Song, i know there are many songs better for her than this and many characters that this song fits better than her, but I've thought of it as The Rose Lalonde song since I first read homestuck at ~16. I put the panel of Rose destroying the portal as my desktop background as soon as I saw it and it stayed there for years. anyway, here's Light Of Stars by The House Jacks

 

Crowley being self-pitying, lmao


You stand at the gate
Hoping to gain admission
How long are you willing to wait? (and wait and wait)
She won't give permission tonight
You should know better darling
When push comes to shove
Angels don't fall in love, no no no

 

on mobile and i can barely load this page so no video links but here's all the art videos that exist in my head for characters what aren't mine or my friends'

♤ goodbye old friend by the devil makes three--reaper76, all of it. one of those videos i'll never make but that i would love to source out to someone else, provided i didn't have to pay all of my meagre savings.

♡ dead eye by middle class rut--mccree, the first verse and the chorus, and vague mchanzo vibes but only if you're looking for them in the second/third verse. actually started storyboarding this one.

○ mountain sound by of monsters and men--verlidaine sarrasri all the way, babey. been planning this one for yeaaaaaaaaars. once i learn how to draw people it's all over for y'all.

♡ king and lionheart by of monsters and men--alanna the lioness and jonathan, because, come on, it's called king and lionheart, and the fact that the verses and chorus line up with canon events if you squint is sheer dumb luck. i will never put the effort in to draw this one but it does haunt me.

 

Rolling in the Deep by Adele as a voltbot!Armilly song, also a Fen song

and that one mashup of Radioactive and Light em Up as a voltbot!Armilly song

 

Youtube autoplay turned up this and reminded me again that Within Temptation is so good at writing songs about Beatrice the Endless and Golden that they can even turn other people's songs that weren't about Beatrice into songs about Beatrice:

 

I have somehow managed to associate this song with two different fandoms/ships because I love to suffer!
Barry/Lup (TAZ) and the Crystal Exarch/WoL (FFXIV)

Spoiler: Lyrics

We were children when I met you
There between the autumn trees
You consumed me and I let you
Burn me in the fallen leaves
A thousand winters each more serious
Separated earth and sky
The blood was angry, blood was furious
But the heart cannot recall just why
The quill won't recognize the paper
The piano doesn't know its keys
The stars are old and can't remember
What it's like to map the seas
And when I look at you I tremble
But damned if I know who you are
A ghostly haze of sweet November
Lost and senile as the stars
And here in this forgetting room
The rising sun's a setting moon
And all the world fits in our hands
And this forgetting room
Goes to sleep; we're entombed
By no high command
There's nothing more to understand
But in all the happenstance of nature
The cruelty without a name
A random number generator
Is still a function all the same
So even if the sky is broken
Idiotic, blind with age
I will hold you and keep hoping
There's a script to guide the stage
And it goes on and on
Here in this forgetting room
The rising sun's a setting moon
And all the world fits in our hands
And this forgetting room
Goes to sleep; we're entombed
By no high command
There's nothing more to understand
And if that's how it has to happen
If that's the way it's gotta be
Then I submit against all reason
A small request for you and me
Make the universe forget us
In some old dusty catacomb
Nameless, numberless, and breathless
Let our closeness be our home
First we'd forget why there was fire
Then forget why there was love
And I forget what's next cause I
Forget what I was thinking of—right!
We were children when I met you
Carried in the careless breeze
Now if you leave me, I would let you
But what's the use of memories?
When now is all your eyes can see
When I forget the melody

 

Karezi

 

oh shit i didn't realize it until you said that but huh that song and the vocals for it are both extremely karezi, huh
