Welcome to Becky's late-night self-indulgent character-related Tumblr posting! The Indigo Girls is one of my all-time favourite groups, and they have written so many wonderful songs about the amazing, messy thing called love (love of many kinds, but we're focused on the romantic variety here).
So I'm finding an Indigo Girls song for every romance in Made Marion. (This is the love interests in relation to Marion.) With the particularly pertinent lyrics below it.
Hope you'll get some thoughts about the romances and hear some amazing music! I even provided a teensy scrap of Mystery Love Interest!
Robin: She's Saving Me
youtube
Robin's PoV:
She's saving me
I don't even think she knows it
Such a strange way to show it as distant as
Last nights dream unravels
She's saving me
I'm a very lost soul
I was born with a hole in my heart
The size of my land locked travels
John: Keeper of My Heart
John's PoV:
youtube
Some things
I hold too tightly
Some things
I'll never
I'll never touch
Oh but I'm wearing down the stones
In the river
And you see all my life
I've painted with anger's brush
For you
Lift me through my love and anger
You see now these are my gods
These are your scars
Lift me through my love and anger
Oh and my arms are burning
And they're open wide
Pointing out the graveyards
I will be the reaper
If you will be
The keeper of my heart
Will and Gui: Mystery
youtube
Will's segment (Marion's PoV):
But you like the taste of danger
It shines like sugar on your lips
And you like to stand in the line of fire
Just to show you can shoot straight from you hip
There must be a 1000 things you would die for
I can hardly think of two
But not everything is better spoken aloud
Not when I'm talking to you
Gui's segment (Either Character PoV):
Oh the pirate gets the ship and the girl tonight
Breaks a bottle to christen her
Basking in the exploits of her thief
She's a very good listener
Maybe that's all that we need
Is to meet in the middle of impossibility
We're standing at opposite poles
Equal partners in a mystery
Meissa: Wood Song
youtube
Either Character PoV
Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look
Skip to the final chapter of the book
And then maybe steer us clear from some of the pain it took
To get us where we are this far yeah
But the question drowns in it's futility
And even I have got to laugh at me
No one gets to miss the storm of what will be
Just holding on for the ride
Alanna: Fugitive
Alanna's PoV:
We swore to ourselves we'd go to the end of the world
But I got caught up in the whirl and the twirl of it all
A day in the sun dancing alone
Baby, I'm so sorry
Now it's coming to you the lessons I've learned
Won't do you any good you've got to get burned
Well the curse and the blessing they're one in the same
Baby, it's all such a treacherous gain
Hide yourself from me
I said hide yourself from me
All for me
Geoffrey: Strange Fire
(I associate the IG song Pushing the Needle Too Far with Geoff in general, but this is about the romance)
youtube
Both Characters, to Each Other:
Geoff: First Verse
Marion: Second Verse
Both: Third Verse
Layton: Blood and Fire
youtube
Layton's PoV:
I am looking for someone who can
Take as much as I give babe
And give back as much as I need you know
And they, they still have the will to live
'Cause I am intense, I am in need
I am in pain, I am in love, but I feel forsaken
You know like the things I, I gave away
And blood and fire are too much for these
Restless arms to hold
And my nights of desire
They're calling me back to your fold
And I am callin' you, callin' you
From ten thousand miles away
Would you whet my fire with your love?
And it's babe, babe, babe
???: Secure Yourself
youtube
Marion's Pov:
In the ink of an eye I saw you bleed,
Through the thunder I could hear you scream,
Solid to the air I breathe,
Open-eyed and fast asleep.
Falling softly as the rain,
No footsteps ringing in your ears.
Ragged down worn to the skin
Warrior raging, have no fear.
Secure yourself to heaven.
Hold on tight, the night has come
Fasten up your earthly burdens,
You have just begun.
Bonus: Alvin: Least Complicated
(Marion's former lover who you'll meet in the prologue, in unrequited love with her, poor Alvin)
youtube
Alvin's Pov:
I sit two stories above the street
It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep
There's life down below me though
The kids are walking home from school
Some long ago when we were taught
That for whatever kind of puzzle you got
You just stick the right formula in
A solution for every fool
I remember the time when I came so close to you
Sent me skipping my class and running from school
And I bought you that ring 'cause I never was cool
What makes me think I could start clean slated
The hardest to learn was the least complicated
220914 Exclusive interview before Sergeant Park Chanyeol from EXO is discharged
Sergeant Park Chanyeol, a member of K-Pop's representative group EXO, looked back on his military service ahead of his discharge. This is the first time that he gave an interview in front of the camera with the media since he enlisted.
EXO, an idol group that has become an icon of K-Pop, with their countless hits in the past decade since debut. They are so popular that they were the first among artists who debuted in the 21st century to have a cumulative sales of 10 million copies.
EXO Chanyeol enlisted in March last year to fulfill his military service. Sgt. Park Chanyeol, who is said to have grown up a step further by performing different missions during his military service, stood in front of the camera for an interview, ahead of his discharge on the 28th.
"White Horse! Hello! This is Sgt. Park Chanyeol, serving in the Military's 9th Division!... (I'm about to be discharged from the military service) I'm a bit excited, and also a bit sad. I think the term 'bittersweet' describes it best."
Sgt. Park is serving in the Military's 9th Division where his grandfather served in the past. His grandfather is a Korean War & Vietnam War veteran & was awarded 3 times.
"I strongly felt that my grandfather led me to the 9th Division. As I was serving in the military myself, I am reminded of his words before. In particular, I can still vividly remember the story that he still has pieces of an (exploded) grenade on his right arm."
Sgt. Park has been casted as Laman in the Military Musical 'A Song of Meissa'. He performed on stage more than 150 times to convey cultural & artistic values to the soldiers.
"I spent each day as Laman (for a long time), so it's a bit sad to think that it's over. But on the other hand, I am very thankful that I was given the opportunity to show the people a good performance, in a field that I can do well, in the name of the military."
For Sgt. Park, it was a big turning point in his life.
"I learned a lot in the military. Through my military service, I gained a lot of experiences, so it makes me wonder if I could use those experiences I had in other areas, such as music, to be able to express myself better in various ways as an artist."
Sgt. Park Chanyeol, who is only one step away from getting discharged, left a message of gratitude & support to soliders and EXO fans around the world.
"To all the soldiers all over our country, who are protecting the Republic of Korea, always with a bright disposition, I hope that you will stay in good health until the end of your service. With the same heart, I will always be rooting for you.
"First of all, the past year & a half that passed by can be considered long or short. I really want to thank all of our EXO-L who waited during this time. I'll soon finish my military service and will be back. As always, I will come back to you with good music and will show you all an even better side of myself. Thank you for waiting, I love you!"
Sgt. Park will return to his group EXO after getting discharged & will continue to take on new steps to elevate the status of the Republic of Korea.
This is a motivational post for me. I will post some of my photos from South Korea.
I travelled for the first time in South Korea last August. I was with my father and we went to Goyang City to watch EXO Chanyeol’s musical “Blue Helmet: A Song of Meissa”.
The second travel was last September. I joined a group of fangirls and we went to places where the EXO members also went.
It was a fun…
i just finished the demo & got so caught up in the whole plot i kinda forgot this is an otome until the option to choose came up. then i got to the scene with alanna's performance and actually sat there listening to the whole song. in meissa's house i think there's something with the piano (i'm not a music knower) and same with that. the art and all of the character design and marion's personality rocks it was insanely immersive i love it
Thank you so much! I’m hoping to make the route plots pretty interesting in themselves so everybody gets lots of story along with their smooches. :D
