Okay! I have a burning question for you, my dude. Music is my life, and I wanna know what kind of music the OPM casts listen to. Thanks, my guy!

I had a feeling this would be inevitable lol. I don’t really know a whole lot about music or genres or anything like that so I’m just gonna give you a rundown of each character individually and some song recs along with that just to smooth things out a little. Thanks for your ask, by the way! ❤️ Now my playlists will be put to good use.

A Brief Rundown of the Major OPM Characters’ Music Tastes:

Blast: hc that he doesn’t even have ears since he never fucking LISTENS

Terrible Tornado: Stuff that makes her feel powerful. Loud vocals and good instrumentals. Also, she’s a little angsty since she’s saltier than the gotdamn Pacific almost all of the time. (Recs: Florence and the Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, Susanne Sundfør - Delirious, Florence and the Machine - What Kind of Man, Kali Uchis - Dead to Me, Let’s Eat Grandma - Falling Into Me)

Fubuki: some of that real classy shit. Slow songs that are nice to just have a cup of tea with. Nothing too meaty or fast-paced, she enjoys taking a moment to breathe every once and a while since life gets pretty hectic when you’re managing a gang of some 30 hooligans. (Recs: Wes - Midnight Low, any song from Lana Del Rey’s entire discography lol, Florence and the Machine - Grace, The Marìas - I Don’t Know You, Yellow House - Ain’t Gonna Call, Feng Suave - Toking, Dozing)

Silverfang: Stuff from his time. I hc that he was a bit of a party animal back in his prime so he’s gotta have those grooves. Disco to the extremo. Also, another hc: Garou absolutely hates his music. He would play it during training and Garou would contemplate homicide. (Recs: Frankie Valli - Grease, The Edgar Winter Group - Free Ride, KC and the Sunshine Band - I’m Your Boogie Man, Matthew Wilder - Break My Stride, The Main Ingredient - Everybody Plays the Fool, Andrea True Connection - More, More, More)

Bomb: save as Silverfang, although I hc that Bomb was a little more of a nerd growing up. Still, he never missed out on a good party. (Additional Recs: KC and the Sunshine Band - Get Down Tonight, The Trammps - Disco Inferno, Tierra - Together, Cornelius Bros and Sister Rose - Too Late to Turn Back Now)

Atomic Samurai: Old shit. Shit older than Silverfang. He’s really not that old, but his soul is fucking ancient and he’s got that classic “grrr music these days sucks” kind of shithead attitude. (Recs: Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle, Dion - Runaround Sue, The Carpenters - The End of the World, The Band - The Weight)

Child Emperor: Upbeat synth. Stuff to listen to while he’s working on his machines and whatnot. Probably has meaty beats to keep him in tune with what he’s doing, like working around a clock. Probably some groovy citypop in there too. (Recs: Taeko Ohnuki - 4:00 AM, Junko Ohashi - Telephone Number, Tatsuro Yamashita - Magic Ways, Hiroyuki Sawano - NEXUS, Superfly - Kakusei, Mariya Takeuchi - Plastic Love)

Metal Knight: Intrumentals that Disney villains listen to. Deep, dark shit that makes you feel sad. He probably feeds off of negative emotion. What a toolbag. (Recs: Lucas King - Sociopath, Abel Korzeniowski- Table for Two, Max Richter - Never Goodbye, Max Richter - She Remembers, Evelyn Stein - Quiet Resource, Mac Quayle - Adagio in G Minor)

King: video game soundtracks, obviously. Might be some electro funk in there too, as a treat. (Recs: Metal Gear Solid 3 OST - Snake Eater, Mick Gordon - Rip and Tear, Xenoblade Chronicles OST - Main Theme, Persona 5 OST - Last Surprise, Daft Punk - Verdis Quo, Toby Fox - Hopes and Dreams, Disasterpeace - Prologue, iamthekidyouknowwhatimean - Run, Darren Korb - Old Friends)

Zombieman: Dad Music. Old rock that makes you wanna rail some lines of white thunder and dance on top of a car. He’d be reluctant to try out new stuff but does so nevertheless. Just a little bit of weird alternative here and there. (Recs: Poison - Unskinny Bop, Mötley Crüe - Dr. Feelgood, Black Sabbath - War Pigs, Def Leppard - Animal, CRX - Walls, MGMT - Little Dark Age, Pink Floyd - Money, Queens of the Stone Age - Villains of Circumstance)

Drive Knight: Dark synth, obviously. Need I say more? (Recs: El Tigr3 - She Swallowed Burning Coals, Trevor Something - Enjoy the Silence, Greg Drombrowski - Devour, GUNSHIP - Woken Furies, GUNSHIP - Thrasher, Carpenter Brut - Invasion A.D., Kavinsky - Nightcall)

Pig God: this guy probably just listens to ASMR of people eating food lol.

Superalloy Darkshine: Upbeat stuff that’s good for exercise; loving those new jams along with some of the old. He’s got a pretty groovy style. (Diane Ross - Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Saint Motel - Puzzle Pieces, CRUISR - All Over, Barry White - Never, Never Gonna Give Ya Up, Sade - Kiss of Life)

Watchdog Man: 10 hour loop of wolves howling on a summer night.

Flashy Flash: classical. Some nice instrumentals to listen to while training. Stuff that preferably doesn’t have any or very little lyrics so it’s not too busy on his ears while he’s fantasizing about killing someone. (Recs: Vaughn Williams - The Lark Ascending, Debussy - Rêverie, Grieg - Peace of the Woods, André Laplante - Une Barque sur L’Ocean)

Metal Bat: Modern alternative. A little bit harder than say, Mumen and Kama, but not as hard as Zombieman or Death Gatling. He’s that middle ground where he’s still got some real bangers, but Zenko can listen as well. He’ll play this stuff loudly as he’s doing chores and working out, no headphones ever. It gets pretty annoying. (Recs: Foals - Exits, The Blue Stones - Black Holes, Solid Ground, CRX - Broken Bones, Jungle - Happy Man, The Strokes - Reptilia, We Are Trees - Girlfriend)

Genos: synth. But not just any synth, some heavy, fast-paced synth that’s just like him: speedy, relentless, and powerful. He listens to shit that’ll make you wanna get up and start killing Terminators. Probably. There’s some other synths in the mix too because we love a three-dimensional king. (Recs: Carpenter Brut - Division Ruine, The Protomen - I Still Believe, Carpenter Brut - Leather Teeth, Gunship - Tech Noir, TWRP - Phantom Racer, Le Castle Vania - Red Circle)

Tanktop Master: Dad music but the type of dad music that makes you think your dad was a sappy nerd back in the day. Long tracks that are good for workouts. (Tears for Fears - Woman in Chains, Pink Floyd - Us and Them, Duran Duran - Ordinary World, Billy Idol - Eyes without a Face, A Flock of Seagulls - I Ran, The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky, Tears for Fears - Sowing the Seeds of Love)

Puri-Puri Prisoner: Pop. Dance music. He doesn’t really get to listen to a lot of music in prison, so he holds on to whatever he can and savors every second of it. (Coldplay - Talk, Bruno Mars - Runaway Baby, Lady Gaga - Bad Romance, Flo Milli - Beef Flomix, Doja Cat - Say So)

Mumen Rider: Hes a lighthearted, soft boy. Likes some fluffy indie tunes. It helps to motivate him when working out or doing hero stuff. He might need to cry every once in a while though, so there’s some sad songs in the mix too. (Recs: Varsity - The Dogs Only Listen to Him, The The - This is the Day, Amarante - Don’t Look Back, Alvvays - Saved by a Waif, The Monkees - As We Go Along, Acid Ghost - Hide my Face, Mogwai - Take Me Somewhere Nice)

Sonic: same as Flash. He’s a little more hip with the times however, so he’s got some more groovy, electronic instrumentals to listen to in addition to some elegant stuff and isn’t opposed to having a little bit of lyrics sprinkled in there as well. In fact, he’s not opposed to uppity pop either. He thinks dancing is frivolous but he secretly does it when he thinks nobody is looking. (Additional Recs: Odesza - Bloom, Pretty Lights - One Day They’ll Know [Odesza Remix], BØRNS - Electric Love, Hembree - Culture, The Cinematic Orchestra - Arrival of the Birds)

Garou: same as Metal Bat. Bang let him have a little MP3 player during his time at the dojo and has since collected a few songs on there. They’re very near and dear to his heart since it’s one of the few good things that came from his absolute disaster of a childhood. (Additional Recs: Foals - Inhaler, CRX - Slow Down, Deep Sea Arcade - Close to Me, Gorillaz - Empire Ants, The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger, Glass Animals - Take A Slice)

Death Gatling: Shit your old Vietnam-vet grandpa would blast on the back of his F150. He gives me self-righteous asshole vibes, if I’m honest. Like, don’t get me wrong, I like Death Gatling, but he seems like the type of trailer park-dwelling sewer rat to carry a revolver into a Walmart for “self defense” and that’s probably the type of music he listens to, too. (Recs: Megadeth - Trust, Megadeth - Angry Again, Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son, Glen Campbell - Southern Nights, Mötley Crüe - Kickstart My Heart, Quiet Riot - Cum on Feel the Noize)

One-Shotter: I hard hc that he had an emo phase he never quite grew out of. He doesn’t quite listen to emo anymore but he’s still into that alternative shit. Homeboy also likes some slow tunes every once and a while because he’s an emotional dude who’s not afraid of a good cry. (Recs: Anything from Blink-182, Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?, MGMT - When You Die, Mazzy Star - Fade Into You, Cigarettes After Sex - Dreaming of You, Yon Ort - Other Matter)

Lightning Max: Same as Genos but without the terminator-killing. Fast-paced stuff because he’s a fast lightning dude. A little more upbeat because he’s not as much as an edgelord as Genos, however. (Additional Recs: Carpenter Brut - Hang’em All, The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize, Worn Tin - Sensitivity, B.E.R. - The Night Begins to Shine, Martin Hall - Different Kind of Love)

Stinger: he’s all about that FUNK! Stuff that gets him moving! Stuff that makes him wanna dance! (Recs: Daft Punk - Doin’ it Right, TWRP - Body Image, Wild Cherry - Play that Funky Music, Chemise - She Can’t Love You, Saga - Wind Him Up, Saga - On the Loose, TWRP - All Night Forever)

Okamaitachi: they give me electro vibes! New, modern shit that’s good to dance to or to just sit down and have a listen! Also, some shit that’ll probably play in a coming-of-age teen movie or something. They don’t really vibe with heavy music and that’s alright, babey! Keeping it light and bouncy. (Recs: Tei Shi - Bassically, Varsity - Must Be Nice, Class Actress - Weekend, CHVRCHES - Richard Pryor, Alvvays - Marry Me, Archie, Sobs - Telltale Signs, Goth Babe - Sometimes, ALASKALASKA - Meateater)

Iaian: Nice, low tunes that are good for meditation and to be used for background noise during training sessions. He never really sits down to listen to music, it’s always in the background of something else he’s doing so he prefers to have some soft beats that don’t really interfere with his senses. Tunes so quiet, he sometimes uses them as lullabies; especially since the trauma of losing his arm has since made it hard to sleep. (Recs: Boy Scouts - Saddest Boy, Susanne Sundfør - Mantra, Vashiti Bunyan - If I Were the Same but Different, Starman Jr. - Blue Fairy, Patrick Watson - Je te Laisserai des Mots, Sibylle Baier - I Lost Something in the Hills)

Bushidrill: same as Atomic Samurai just without the shitty attitude. He’s happy to listen to some newer stuff, he just doesn’t like it and that’s okay, baby! Probably some classy shit your wise old grandpa would listen to. (Recs: Dean Martin - Volare, Dion - The Wanderer, Peppino Gagliardi - Che Vuole Questra Musica Stasera, anything from Luis Miguel lol, Franco Micalizzi - Sadness Theme)

Amai Mask: probably just listens to his own music like a putz. If not, he’s listening to the sound equivalent of glittering diamonds. He’s probably got this shit playing at the end of a long day while he’s chilling in a hot bath or something. (Recs: Fergie - Glamorous, Rita Ora - Hot Right Now, Lana Del Rey - Freak, Lana Del Rey - Art Deco, Tame Impala - Feels Like We Only Go Backwards)

Saitama: He doesn’t listen to music much anymore, sadly. He did, however, have a killer motivational mix to get him through his vigorous training prior to becoming a hero. (Recs: Paul Engemann - Push it to the Limit, Journey - Don’t Stop Believin’, College & Electric Youth - A Real Hero, Joe Esposito - You’re the Best Around, Survivor - Eye of the Tiger, The Bee Gees - Nights on Broadway)

Here’s the playlist with all of these songs in order (mostly):

It’s on YouTube because I’m allergic to Spotify. I’ve got a doctor’s note. Also, all of my other playlists are on my little profile thingy so if you want to listen to my pile then go right ahead.

Thanks for your ask, my dude! ❤️ this took up ALL of my energy lol but it was fun.

Drinking Buddies

Day 3 of the Writing Challenge: Johnny meets an unusual character when he takes Robby camping.

Crossover: Cobra Kai/Grimm fandoms.

I own nothing.

For @outforawalkbitkah and @boxofficequeen2416

Kehrseite- human

Wesen- Fairy tale creature

Woge- to change forms.

Monroe stretched and took a deep breath of the salty air. He loved the Topanga National Park. It was the best place for a midnight run. A real midnight run. He lowered his arms and woged into wolf form.

He felt truly alive for the first time in weeks as he ran across the beach and through the mountain trails. There was never anyone on the stretch of beach and mountains that he preferred. No one ever came out that far, that late. So why did he now find himself at the bottom a hill, tangled up with a blonde kehrseite?

The shock and fall had forced him to retract and he staggered to his feet just in time receive a roundhouse kick to the face, sending him sprawling on the ground again.

“Whoa! Whoa! Dude! Cut it out,” he yelled, trying to get back to his feet.

“What the fuck are you?” The blonde snarled, delivering a front kick to Monroe’s chest.

“I don’t want to have to do this, Dude,” Monroe pleaded, but the blonde didn’t let up. Monroe woged again and tackled him, pinning him to the ground.

“I don’t want to hurt you, Man,” he growled as kindly as possible. Looking into the man’s icy blue eyes, he saw fear, for sure, but also curiosity, and not one hint of insanity. He decided to take a chance this time. “If I let you up, do you promise to not kick me again?”

The blonde nodded and Monroe let him up, retracting as he got up himself.

“What the hell are you?” The blonde demanded, taking a few large steps away.

“Just calm down,” Monroe held up his hands, then stretched his back. “That is a really long story and falling down that hill, not to mention your Chuck Norris impersonation, hurt like a son of a bitch and I, for one, could use a beer. Why don’t we go up to your campsite, have a beer, and I’ll tell you all you want to know?”

“You’re not going up there,” the man snapped, defensively.

“Oh, I get it,” Monroe nodded, sniffing the air. “Your kid is up there. Don’t worry. I don’t eat kids. I’m a vegan.” He started up the hill with the man trailing behind him.

It wasn’t like he could do much else, the blonde reasoned. He couldn’t stop the ‘guy’ if he wanted to, so maybe giving him a beer and befriending him was the best course of action. Even if it did get him uncomfortably close to where his son slept in their tent.

"What's your name, stranger?" Monroe asked, trying to sound light and friendly.

"Johnny Lawrence."

“Monroe." He turned an extended his hand. "I have a first name, but I don't like it much so I just stick to Monroe. Nice to meet you.”

“I'll reserve judgment about that for now if you don't mind," Johnny replied, staring at his outstretched hand.

"Fair enough," Monroe laughed. He walked into Johnny's campsite and took a seat by the fire while Johnny got them some beers.

“That back there in the woods,” Johnny asked. “Am I drunk or was that real?”

“By the smell of you, you’re probably drunk, but it was real, too,” he answered.

"So, what the fuck are you?" Johnny asked, moving his own chair to be between the ‘man’ and the tent. "A werewolf or something?"

“Dude! Do you know how insulting that is?" Monroe exclaimed. "I'm a Blutbad.”

"A what?"

"A Blutbad. A big, bad wolf." Monroe explained. "You know like Little Red Hood? Peter and wolf? the Three Little Pigs? Though that one has been completely bastardized by the Beaurschwins.”

"The fairy tales?” Johnny shook his head in disbelief.

“Fairy tales to you, history to me,” Monroe said, taking a sip of the beer and grimacing. “This stuff tastes like piss. You should get you some craft beer, or at least some Blue Moon.”

“I like Coors,” Johnny answered. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

“What you saw back there. I’m a Blutbad. Look, things aren’t what you think they are. Those ‘fairy tale creatures,’ they’re real. The big bad wolf, the three little pigs, Peter Rabbit. It’s true. All of it. Well, most of it. Those Grimm bastards did a real number on our history in their damn fairy tales. Fun enough one of their descendants is now my best friend. I’ll talk him into changing the stories one day,” Monroe shrugged.

“Are you sure I’m not going crazy?” Johnny asked.

“You probably are, but not about this,” Monroe replied.

“Can…, Can you do that again?” Johnny asked, staring at him.

“Fine,” he sighed, realizing that Johnny needed to see him in the light to accept it. “But this is the last time because it doesn’t work like that.” He woged for a minute, then retracted.

“And there are more of you?”

He nodded, “Not just blutbads, tons of others.”

“Can anyone see you? Why haven’t I heard of this before?”

“Well, you have, you just called it fairy tales or urban legends,” he shrugged. “Are you okay with this? Most kehrseite can’t handle seeing a fully woged wesen. Sorry, people like you and people like me.”

“Are you going to hurt my kid?” Johnny couldn’t believe he was starting to relax around this…, whatever this was.

“Dude,” Monroe deadpanned. “I told you I’m a vegan and Blutbads aren’t baby eaters anyway.”

“There are baby eaters?” Johnny’s eyes were wide and round.

“Yeah, but not anywhere near here, they preferred tropical areas,” Monroe said, dismissively. “Look, Dude, you have nothing to worry about. You’ll probably never see another wesen in your life. You’re more in danger of being hit by lightning than meeting up with another woged wesen. That means in their other form. We like that part of us to stay hidden. People hurt things they don’t understand. If I had ever dreamed someone would be camping out here, I would have never been out running. It’s just…, you know, sometimes that primal urge gets to you.”

“Is it crazy that I’m starting to believe this?” Johnny asked.

“Completely,” Monroe said. “But the alternative is insanity, so you’re doing pretty good. I just wouldn’t talk about it when you get back. You go camping much?”

“No,” Johnny admitted. “My kid’s school had a big camping trip that he missed because he had mono. I told him I’d take him to make up for it.”

“I had mono once,” Monroe said, leaning back and relaxing. “Molly Lucero. It was worth every minute of it.”

Johnny laughed, despite himself. “Never had mono, but I know a few girls I would have gladly suffered for.”

The two men talked their way through another six pack before going their separate ways. Monroe promising to take him out for a drink next time he was in town and Johnny promising to look him up if he ever got up to Portland.

The next morning, Robby looked around at all the beer bottles. “Did you drink all these, Dad?” He asked, sounded slightly angry.

“Nah,” Johnny said. “I met a guy out on the trails when I went to take a leak and gave him a few.

“Dad! Don’t you know that’s how horror movies start?!” Robby exclaimed.

“Son, you have no idea,” Johnny laughed.
