★ creepypasta music headcanons ★
Tumblr media
characters mentioned:
ticci toby, nina the killer, jane the killer, clockwork, eyeless jack, jeff the killer.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
WARNINGS (?)
I apologize if any of the genres are wrong, I looked most of them up on google.
I do not own any of the songs/albums I'm also not part of the bands mentioned, nor am I the singer/songwriter.
I claim NO ownership to any of them.
Also, if any of these bands/singers are involved in any serious controversies, please tell me so I can replace them.
Please understand that these are headcanons, and may not be 100% accurate to the characters themselves.
(I just felt like I should say that before I start this)
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Ticci toby
Midwestern emo / indie rock
Duster, modern baseball, the smiths, mom jeans, neutral milk hotel, merchant ships, etc.
He thinks he's super cool and special because of his music taste
He's the type of person to say stuff like "YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY LIKE THIS SONG THE WAY I LIKE THIS SONG"
he will argue with someone over the smiths
He likes to sit outside in the snow and smoke a cigarette while listening to music, even though he got hypothermia once from doing that.
Nina the killer
crunkcore / metalcore / rap
Bullet for my valentine, brokencyde, millionaires, breathe carolina, dot dot curve, hollywood undead, etc.
she goes around the manor saying "BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, POW, POW, POW, POW" (dot dot curve song reference) all the time, and it gets on everyone's nerves
there's not a time when she isn't listening to music tbh, even when she's out killing
sometimes she'll make her victims listen to one of her playlists and rate it, if they give it a good rating she'll give them a fast and easy death, but if they give it a bad rating.. slow and painful.
Clockwork
rock and roll / glam metal
Joan jett & the blackheart's, guns n' roses, the rolling stones, ramones, queen, the runaways, etc.
Joan jett is her idol
Her walls are COVERED in band posters, and she also collects old magazines just cause she thinks they're cool
She knows how to play guitar, the only reason she learned how to play was because of slash from guns n' roses
She will try to fight you if you talk shit about her favorite bands
Jane the killer
dark wave / post punk / gothic rock
siouxsie and the banshees, she past away, bauhaus, the cure, london after midnight, lycia etc
She's a fan of the cure, tobys a fan of the smiths.. they fight, a lot.
she collects a lot of cd/tapes of her favorite bands, and plays them ALLLL the time
if she's not too busy sometimes she'll go to a goth club, she doesn't really dance though.. she'll just stand at the back of the club and vibe
She usually doesn't care about other people's opinions when it comes to music, but if you diss robert smith she's throwing hands.
Eyeless Jack
Alternative hip-hop / britpop / psychedelic pop
Blur, tame Impala, oasis, MF DOOM, beastie boys, out kast, etc.
he will correct you if you spell it "mf doom" instead of "MF DOOM" but other than that, he's a pretty chill guy
He secretly thinks that blur is a bit better than oasis, but he'll never say that out loud.
he doesn't take music too seriously
he has a "each to their own" mentality when it comes to music
he does collect records though, and if he sees even a tiny scratch on one of his records he freaks out.
If you need a good playlist to listen to during a smoke sesh, he's your guy.
Jeff the killer
dsbm / hardcore punk / death metal
Woods of desolation, bathory, cradle of filth, forgotten tomb, carcass, the exploited, etc.
Regularly calls people "posers" and he will make you name eight songs instead of five
he thinks any other music is overrated, and will voice that opinion.
Average reddit user (I'm sorry)
He looks cool as hell in corpse paint though
He frequently goes to shows, but he has no "mosh pit etiquette" if he sees someone fall, he'll just stomp over them and continue moshing.

FO4 Companions’ go to Karaoke songs
I’ve been thinking about this too much lately, let me know if there’s another character/ companion you want me to do
Cait: Spit by Kittie 
It’s so angry and she just loves to scream along, even if she can’t get the lyrics right now and again. Surprisingly good at it, and has obviously had some practice
Or anything by Joan Jett- specifically Hate Myself for Loving You. Riot girl now and forever 
Codsworth : 500 Miles by the Proclaimers
Mega cheesy, easy to sing along to and many, many people know the words. Yes, Mr Handies can do karaoke, pretty  enthusiastically too
Curie: Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO
Shes too innocent to pick much else, she just likes how happy it is and jumps up and down while singing it. Needs the lyrics to pop up on screen but knows it well- or sometimes she’ll choose some random French opera song and belt it for no apparent reason
Danse: My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas (sorry not sorry)
Everyone, and I mean everyone in Sanctuary has been pissing him off with this song. When he brings it out on karaoke night, they all scream in joy- either that or Last Stand by Sabaton. Some cheesy metal about history always puts a smile on no one’s face but his. 
Deacon: Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson  
Complete with dancing and moonwalking- brings out the hat collection just to do this song, and does it flawlessly
Hancock: Mr Brownstone by Guns n Roses
If he’s on enough Jet, chances are he will seize the microphone and absolutely go for it. According to his older friends, he looked like a blond Axel Rose before he went ghoul- and now sounds like a slightly more hoarse version of him. Just maybe keep the kids away when it’s his turn on karaoke night. 
MacCready: House of the Rising Sun by the Animals
About the only song he knows and doesn’t even know it that well. Mac can’t really sing, and no one’s told him it yet; safer just to let him and Duncan do their best. For now. 
Valentine: The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats
He was adamant not to sing at first, but once Sole managed to convince him into it, he got it eventually. Surprisingly bad at working the karaoke machine for someone so accustomed with technology (Curie and Danse help him set it up, think Granddad with the TV remote) but sings his heart out every time. Proper smiles break out when it’s Nick’s turn on the mic.
Piper: Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift
The MOST BASIC choice ever, but she can sing it surprisingly well; Nat duets! Deacon cheers her along, and sometimes dances to the song if he’s drunk enough 
 Preston: Milkshake by Kellis
Yeah, you might’ve thought it was out of character, but once he starts, he will not stop. Has obviously had some practice singing in his past, and can sing this one particularly well… probably best not to question why he can.
Strong: We Will Rock You by Queen
Please don’t say anything, he’s trying his best. The whole vocabulary thing isn’t his fault, and he’s getting better. Sometimes smashes stuff in time to the song- a true performer!
X6: Losing my Religion by R.E.M
The most deadpan performance ever, but breaks out in a rare smile; he won’t admit it, but he quite enjoys a slower ballad or similar song. After a while, he gets slightly more emotive with his singing; slightly.

You're in love
Roman reigns x Avery (OC)
Tumblr media
" You want to use me, take me home tonight
I'll make you wish that you were mine
You're struck by lightning
You're in love"
Warnings: romance, flirting, errors I may have missed. 2 part story.
Tag list: @reignsangel444 @acknowledge-reigns @mzv11 @marchm-langdon @mandeelemons @pittieprincess22 @queengreenarrowmia89 @romanreignshairdresser @weirdgirl16355
_______
"Avery you've done very well for yourself with your new album that just dropped!" Jimmy smiled "you have a top 10 hit on the rock charts!"
"yes it's very exciting! I never thought I would get here! It's actually always been a dream of mine to be on your show?" She smiled.
"you did a cover of Lita Ford's kiss me deadly and the Joan jett's I hate myself for loving you! You did amazing!" He smiled
"tthank you Jimmy! Both of those beautiful women were role models when I was growing up! The one song I haven't yet done that I want to do though is heart's barracuda! I love heart!" She smiled.
"that's awesome!" Jimmy smiled "so you love 80s rock?"
"I do!" She smiled
"whos your favorite?" Jimmy asked.
Avery thought for a moment "If I have to choose I would say queen!" She smiled.
"a woman after my heart" jimmy laughed.
Avery smiled, jimmy was always very flirtatious with her. She may have been a rocker chick and have a tough exterior but jimmy was one of the few people who saw the true her. They'd been friends since before she got famous, but they never saw each other romantically. He attraction was never there.
"speaking of which, now that you have new found fame, is there anyone your heart is after?" Jimmy asked.
"are you asking me if I have a celebrity crush jimmy?" Avery asked.
"I am!" Jimmy said.
"in that case, yes I do!" Avery smiled.
"is it someone I know?" Jimmy asked.
"he's been on your show before, talked about how he embarrassed his daughter at school when he blasted all I want i for Christmas is you!" Avery said, nervously moving her hair off her neck.
"no way!" Jimmy said, a smile forming on his face "you know he's a guest on our show today?"
Avery's heart skipped a beat, time stood still for a moment. At first she thought jimmy was bluffing until she saw him look at the camera "please help me welcome, Roman reigns!"
Avery gave jimmy a death stare, jimmy shrugged his shoulders with a smile. She wanted to make herself disappear. Jimmy put her in the spot and the man she was pining over was right in front of her.
He walked over to her and Avery's anger at Jimmy disappeared like it had never even happened. He sat next to her and her face got bright red "are you blushing Avery?" jimmy asked
"he's even hotter in person!" Avery giggled.
As the show finished, Avery smiled at Jimmy "I'm sorry I was angry at you earlier. I wasn't prepared"
"it's no problem!" Jimmy said, looking behind Avery "let me know how it goes later"
Avery turned around seeing the man of her desires before her "I heard your music, you're very talented!" He smiled.
Avery swallowed hard, trying to keep herself together "thank you!" She smiled.
"I actually know of a place that plays nothing but rock music, would you want to go with me sometime?" He asked.
Avery's heart did flip flops "I'd love to!" She smiled.
"i'll see you tomorrow at 7 then?" He asked.
"absolutely!" Avery smiled "sorry I should probably give you my number!"
Roman pulled his phone out of his pocket, handing it to her, she gave him her phone as well. Handing him his phone back, he took it from her, grabbing her hand and bringing it to his lips, kissing it softly, winking at her "goodnight Avery!"
"goodnight" she said walking away to her car, calling her best friend and telling her EVERY THING!

International
Women‘s Day 2024
— To my favorite girls in rock —
This international women’s day is for these two incredible ladies. Immensely talented, candidly beautiful, tremendously underrated. They were trailblazers in their profession. At a time where the rock & pop music scene was dominated by male only bands, such as The Beach Boys or The Beatles, and crowds were bowing to rock-gods such as, Jimmy Page or Roger Daltrey, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks were right up there with them. Women, as anything else than pretty faces and background singers were scarce in 1970s leading bands. Among Grace Slick, Joan Jett, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart and of course ABBA‘s leading gals Agnetha and Frida, they were in good company but still leading ladies in rock bands were a rare breed.
Christine Anne Perfect had been in a band called Chicken Shack over in the old country when she married the bassist of Fleetwood Mac and finally joined his band in 1970. After their founding member and frontman had left the band (and in some ways also this universe), the rest of them, consisting of a rhythm section and two guitar players found themselves somewhat lost and in need of a fresh spark. The spark came in the shape of Christine (now McVie) a very talented keyboard player with a soulful, mellow voice who conveniently, had already been living with them, having spattered her talent all over the last album they’d made as an all male blues band. After a while the music scene in Great Britain had developed in a different direction as the Mac, so they decided to try their luck in the land of dreams — the United States. After initially being promised to be back home by christmas, Christine would stay with the band — abroad — for the next 28 years. She would be a driving force and function as the fierce and headstrong but at the same time caring and peacekeeping den mother of the group, captivating countless souls with her love drunken songs.
In 1975 the somewhat unlucky band that was Fleetwood Mac found themselves in need of personell once again. After all of their lead guitarists had either gone insane, joined a cult, were fired for infidelity or left to do their own thing, in particularly that order, the band anew, was missing a crucial part of their lineup leaving them with an uncertain future. Their luck seemed to have turned as a new guitarist was quickly found, only to discover that he came as a package — with a girl.
Stephanie Lynn Nicks was the grand daughter of an understated country singer who took little Stevie on stage when she was only five years old. Having grown up around music, writing songs since she was a teenager, she was trying to make it big with her boyfriend in the city of angels. Her dreamy lyrics and hoarse, rusty voice was a welcome contrast to Christine‘s neat and upbeat love songs and it was soon clear she would fit right in. Even after splitting with the very boyfriend that brought her into the band, she would stay on as the main focalizer and diligent contributor for decades to come.
Both of those women were in their own way unique and oh so contraire but still stuck together, having each others backs. Neither jealousy nor competition seemed to be able to break them apart. They were co-existing in the sometimes toxic but oh so vital eco-system that was Fleetwood Mac forming a symbioses, as friends, keeping each other sane and most importantly alive and kicking — kicking in the glass ceiling that was the male dominated scene of 70s music and thus paving the way for so many talented young girl-singers, songwriters and musicians to come.
Christine once casually stated in an interview upon being asked if she ever felt the got enough credit, that nobody ever really said, ‘thanks for groundbreaking‘, so here it is: Thank you, ladies. Thank you, Christine McVie, queen of the keys and Stevie Nicks, goddess of the stage, for groundbreaking, for being role models in many more ways than just your talent in music. Thanks for sticking up for each other, for lifting each other up instead of taking each other down, for showing us what true and honest sisterhood is all about. Thank you from the bottom of the heart of just another girl out there trying to make it.

It's karaoke night. What songs do you think each of the hacketteers would sing?
I love this ask and I spent entirely too long thinking about it! Thank you!
Nick: “American Girl” - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. He’ll dedicate this one to Abi and play a whole lot of clumsy but enthusiastic air guitar during the instrumental breaks. He’ll also do really on-the-nose inside joke choices like “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon (he'll change 'London' to 'Melbourne' because he's really lame) or “Once Bitten, Twice Shy” by Great White.
Emma: “Style” - Taylor Swift. She just reads as a Taylor girlie to me and this one’s a classic. She could do "We Are Never Getting Back Together" but Jacob might cry. So, "Style" it is. Not too tough in range and it doesn’t require her to do the cringey rap-talking part she’d have to do if she picked “Shake It Off” (although that one would also be fun and maybe if Abi gets drunk enough she’ll join Emma onstage and do that part for her).
Jacob: he wants to pick “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey but it has been banned because basic bitches like him just keep singing it. If he’s still moping about Emma, he might choose “Somebody to Love” by Queen. If someone else gets to it first, then it’s The Killers' “Mr. Brightside” all the way until the bar bans that one too.
Kaitlyn: she almost always picks a song you can scream-sing to. She has some rage to get out, okay? Her go-to is either "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" by Joan Jett or "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. If you get enough alcohol in her for her to get in her feelings though, she might do Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart," as a treat.
Laura: "Dog Days are Over" - Florence + The Machine. Is that another werewolf joke? Yes, yes it is. She can't help being overjoyed to say goodbye to the (meat)dog days. She'd probably also absolutely crush "Help I'm Alive" by Metric.
Max: I will never recover from the post that said Max and Dylan would know every step from the JustDance version of “Rasputin” by Boney M (which I think is completely correct) so I’m picking that one for Max. However, if he gets a second song or he’s feeling extremely sentimental, he might do the Michael Bublé version of “L.O.V.E.” for Laura.
Abi: I think Abi's actual musical listening tastes might be a little moodier than this, but for karaoke she wants it light and easy, and it doesn't get much lighter or easier than ABBA. "Dancing Queen" or "Mamma Mia." She'd really like it if Emma would come sing backup for her so she doesn't have to go up by herself.
Dylan: He never does the same song twice; he wants everyone to be surprised every time. He's done Lady Gaga's "Poker Face. He's done "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! At the Disco." He's done Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream." Tonight, it's "Still Into You" by Paramore.
Ryan: He can't believe he got talked into this. Ryan hates attention and doesn't really love the sound of his own voice. He would prefer to sit quietly and watch everyone else perform. Beer won't be enough, Ryan will have to drink an entire pitcher of LITs to be drunk enough to sing. Then he will sing "Love You Madly" by CAKE and absolutely slay. Dylan will be facedown on their table pretending to have fainted when he gets back.
Bonus: Duets!
Laura and Max have perfected their version of “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” by Elton John and Kiki Dee. You should really see it. There’s choreo and everything.
Jacob and Kaitlyn will sing "I Believe in A Thing Called Love" by The Darkness. Nobody knows why. Neither of them has the upper range to pull it off and they know it. It's awful. They're just screeching. Ryan has to go outside until they're finished. His nerves can't take it. They have fun though.
Dylan would really like Ryan to duet with him on Peter Bjorn and John's "Young Folks," he'll even do the girl parts and the whistling! But Ryan's one and done at karaoke, and even that is asking a lot. Instead, Dylan and Nick duet The Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" in absurd and potentially offensive Scottish accents.
Emma and Abi end up duetting half the time when they're supposed to be doing their own songs anyway, especially when it's Abi's turn! Somehow Emma just ends up there too. But they do "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper together with some frequency and they're great at it.
Bonus 2: Group Number!
You already know what it is. You know what's coming. You get it stuck in your head every time you play the damn game (don't you? I know it's not just me.) How could they not all sing Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" together? Of course they do.

10 Things I Hate About You Review
★★★★★ - 5 stars
"But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all."
Tumblr media
Katarina Stratford does not conform to everyone else's ideas of teenage normalcy: she doesn't wear things based on what's trendy, she likes indie rock music and feminist novels and most importantly, Katarina Stratford does not want to date. On the other hand, her sister, Bianca does want to date. After their father decides that Bianca can only date when Kat does, a boy named Cameron (who has a crush on Bianca) comes up with a plan to pay someone to date Kat.
I love the characters in this film so very much. Kat is a feminist icon who I've idolised ever since I first watched this masterpiece. Bianca annoyed me at first but the whole punching Joey in the face thing was very cathartic for me, so she increased her placement in my favourite character ranks. Patrick Verona is amazing, and all of the Kats in the world know that not falling for him is a very trying task. Cameron, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of Patrick and yet he's extremely sweet and endearing - a hopeless romantic at heart (and a definite James Potter variant for sure).
It is safe to say that generally speaking feminism and rom-coms do not go hand-in-hand skipping down a flowery hill (what with most rom-coms being Chick Flicks, a controversial genre in the eyes of feminists everywhere). However, 10 Things I Hate About You manages to meld together these two assumedly opposing topics into an amazing masterpiece. It discusses a horrible idea formulated within society - that idea being that a woman cannot be in a relationship with a man, whilst retaining her status as a feminist. The irony of it is that feminism is about equality and yet we put this boundary between men and women, both of whom can be classified as feminists, and say 'No, you cannot date and wish for equal rights.' That's what is so wonderful about 10 Things I Hate About You: Kat Stratford is a feminist icon in her own right (what with her love of Sylvia Plath and riot grrrl bands, and her blatant "Well I suppose being male and an asshole makes you worthy of our time" comment) and yet she is also the star of a rom-com. She's a feminist who simultaneously "gets the guy".
Aside from the amazing characters and the amazing feminist representation of 10 Things, one of the best things about it is its music. Music plays such a big part in 10 Things, from it playing to represent the character's emotions to Kat wanting to start a band. The soundtrack overall is amazing, with riot-grrrl bands galore and Joan Jett as the queen of rock 'n' roll. Without a doubt my favourite musical moment of 10 Things is Heath Ledger singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You"- it's one of the most romantic moments and an important part of Kat and Patrick's journey.
In case it could not be gathered from my prior statements, this modern, feminist adaptation of Shakespeare's Taming Of The Shrew is one of my favourite films of all time - on par with the likes of Dead Poet's Society and Clueless. It's wonderfully witty, romantic and heartwarming, and furiously feminist all in one - and if that does not convince you to watch it, then I don't really know what will.

Quick concept sketch of Caro’s agent Goldie in her Final Girl/Scream Queen days in the 80s. A little Joan Jett, a little Winona, a little Dolly and Elvira. Just messing around cuz my social meter is at like negative and thought it might be fun to see what she might have looked like in her 20s!
