Stormlight Characters represented by songs from my playlists
Kaladin
Standing in the Storm by Skillet
Chorus:
I'm standing in the storm
Like never before
The pressure builds around me
Let the winds surround me
Whatever comes
I'm not giving up
Fearless as a lion
Not afraid of dying
I've still got some life in me
(You can try to break me)
I've still got some fight in me
(But you can never break me)
This song features Jen Ledger backing up John Cooper on vocals, making it perfect for Syl urging Kaladin on.
Shallan
Secrets by P!nk
Chorus:
I've got some things to say
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
It's written on my face
It's gonna be hard to swallow
(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's form an album called "Beautiful Trauma." 'Nuff said.
Dalinar
To Be Better by Miracle of Sound
Chorus:
Leave the hurt behind
Tearing the threads of the tethers
Leave the hurt behind
We can choose to be better
We can choose to be better
This entire song reads like the oath of a Bondsmith. The fact that it's written about Kratos from God of War, another recovering bloodthirsty-barbarian, just adds icing to the cake.
Jasnah
Castle by Halsey
Chorus:
I'm headed straight for the castle
They wanna make me their queen
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's
Saying that I probably shouldn't be so mean
I'm headed straight for the castle
They've got the kingdom locked up
And there's an old man sitting on the throne that's
Saying I should probably keep my pretty mouth shut
Straight for the castle
The day on which we get to see Jasnah Kholin being crowned Queen of Alethkar in the animated Stormlight show, is the day on which I will say,
"Now lord let they servant depart in peace, for my eyes have seen thine glory."
Eshonai (Stormform)
Gathering Storm by Pentakill
Chorus:
Just like the tales of prophecies
Just like the heartbeat of the seas
We gather, we gather
It matters not what strength you gained
It matters not what gods you bring
We're unafraid, our voice will raise the dead
We gather
I'm as sad as the next gancho that we didn't get to see Eshonai become a Radiant, but Stormform Eshonai is a mood, and Pentakill's mythos of heavy-metal encapsulates it perfectly.
Abandoned by the heavens, betrayed by the gods, she brought a storm of vengeance upon the humans who sought to enslave her people. If that doesn't scream "metal" I don't know what does.
Also the fact that this song has a female vocalist makes it infinitely more appropriate.
29. Share a bit from a fic you’ll never post OR from a scene that was cut from an already posted fic. (If you don’t have either, just share a random fic idea you have that you don’t plan on getting to.)
here's something I cut from "How Bright We Burn" - in the first draft, Kurt and Blaine broke up after Kurt didn't show up to the Warblers sectionals, and Blaine and Sebastian's first kiss happened that night during the truth or dare game when Thad dares them to make out. Anyway, this scene follows that:
He reaches for the back of Sebastian’s neck and pulls him towards him. Cheers from the Warblers erupt immediately when their lips connect, and Blaine can’t help but smile. That day in the hallway when Sebastian said they could run the school together pops into Blaine’s head as Sebastian kisses him back, and it’s the last coherent thought he has as his eyes close and their lips fit like pieces of a puzzle that have been dying to touch for years.
Blaine must black out for a second because it’s almost like it’s just them, even though this might be the loudest he’s ever heard the Warblers cheer during a dare. He’s too focused on Sebastian’s tongue as it slips between his lips and his hand as it lands on his thigh, then his waist, all of it sending shock waves through his entire body.
It takes a distinctly Nick-sounding cheer to snap Blaine out of the hazy mess of a kiss and pull away. It’s frustrating because he doesn’t want to stop, which is a shitty thing to think when you’ve been single for less than a day. Maybe it’s the liquor, but he’s terrified it isn’t.
come to think of it, maybe I actually will include this in a different fic in the future lol
12. Do you have a playlist for your current WIP(s)? Share it!
yes! I make playlists for almost all my WIPs, even the shorter ones. The "How Bright We Burn" playlist has 123 songs on it (many of which are songs that led to the lyrics at the top of each chapter) so I won't share them all for now, but instead, I'll share some highlights from the playlist for the sequel ;)
"Beautiful Trauma" by P!nk
"Crazy In Love" by Beyoncé
"Renegade" by Big Red Machine & Taylor Swift
"Holy Ghost" by BØRNS
"Style" by Taylor Swift
"History" by One Direction
"Easy" by Troye Sivan
"Paprika" by Japanese Breakfast
"The Louvre" by Lorde
"Till Forever Falls Apart" by Ashe & FINNEAS
hopefully that doesn't include any spoilers ope
6. Are there any fics from others you reread all the time?
omg yes of course, the Seblaine fic that I literally always reread is the "I'll Be There For You" series by Imogen_LeFay, specifically "Stuck In Second Gear" because that fic is seriously canon to me and the only way I can ever bring myself to rewatch the last season of Glee because I know that this fic is how it really ends. For other Seblaine fics, I love to reread "Seasons Change" by civillove and "This or That" by TiburonWriter.
also, I'm a huge marauders fan (though you wouldn't guess it from my Tumblr where I almost exclusively talk about seblaine and Taylor Swift) and I have to admit I've reread the famous "All the Young Dudes" by MsKingBean89 multiple times as well.
sorry this got so long lol clearly idk how to be concise
