I hate the phrase "jack frost nipping at your nose" so much. Who experienced a cold nose and said "this is like a guy is biting me a little". Am I crazy here? Is there some other meaning of "nipping" I'm missing? I don't think so!
love listening to jpop and vocaloid because all my brain processes is like "ajhsjhs djkhf inhdjknjnms kehfsk fdjkfhdf IKANAIDE!!!" so pretty much the same as usual, but now it's more melodic and sometimes hatsune miku is there
You read the title; I gave each member of the chain an Owl City song (or more) XD
Some of these songs can go to multiple of the boys (most notably Wild, Twilight, and Legend; poor guys with girlfriend trauma).
Also disclaimer: this is mainly all of the songs I grew up with, so I won't have any songs from Owl City's newer albums (such as Cinematic and Coco Moon; especially Coco Moon as I haven't finished listening to that album at this time).
Legend
The first thing that came to mind was Strawberry Avalanche, since it kind of fits with the Koholint situation.
But I think the one that would best fit would be Angels (though it could also match with Twi and Wild).
For some more post-Koholint Angst, here's The Real World; I dunno, seems like a song Legend would belt out.
Twilight
Up All Night. No doubt. I've actually been thinking of this for so long I've been going crazy XD
(And this is mainly the song that can go with both Legend and Wild as well; be prepared for some heavy angst.)
Time
Originally what I had was Super Honeymoon (as kind of a joke) but listening to it I realized it made more sense if he was married to Zelda, which is a nope. (Or I guess it could fit if he just thinks of his wife so highly, which is likely).
Tbh he was kind of hard to assign an Owl City song to (like Four), so I think Meteor Shower might also fit for some Time Angst.
(Or Dental Care or Rugs from Me To You for some dad jokes hehe.)
(Bonus: Tennis Elbow from Sky Sailing; not technically Owl City but it's by the same guy.)
(Bonus Bonus: Unbelievable for that 90's nostalgia; unfortunately it doesn't mention Ocarina of Time but if this was Modern AU then Time would absolutely have 90's nostalgia... maybe...)
Hyrule
Plant Life. I think this song would kind of touch with that side of Hyrule who felt like he isn't like the other heroes
(It does have a slight romance undertone to it, but its only in the chorus/bridging lyric and isn't the main focus of the song I will admit.)
Wild
Wolf Bite. I know the title kind of suggests this should be Twi's song, but if you listen to it it kind of fits with the internal struggle that Wild goes through in the comics. (Plus if I could make animatics I would totally make an animatic of Wild to this song; ahhh I love Ultraviolet (the album this is from) so much).
Bird with a Broken Wing. Kind of self explanatory if you listen closely to the lyrics. (Actually, this could fit with Time... hm...)
Four
Oof, this was kind of a hard one. At first I was going to say that no song could match him, until I remembered...
The Technicolor Phase. Kind of color-centric for those who like them XD
Sky
[Insert every 2010's Owl City love song here]
XD Kidding; but the two I have written down are Honey and the Bee and The Bird and the Worm (and maybe Early Birdie?)
A non-romantic song I remembered however is Sky Diver. Yeah that's Sky for ya XD
The Airway — SO perfect for Sky
Wind
Yacht Club! Except not really because I forgot it was a romance song XD (We'll save it for when Wind has grown a bit.)
On the other hand: How I Became the Sea.
Wars
I was tempted to put Deer in the Headlights as a joke but then that would fit with womanizer Wars which is a BIG NOPE (and doesn't fit with Wars at all), so just think of it as reversed or something XD
On the other hand, we have Hospital Flowers for kind of maybe that survivor side of him.
But Beautiful Times fits him the most, as it kind of delves in with that war aspect ("cab driver turned to skydiver then to survivor" screams war to me).
And yeah, that's all the chain! Feel free to add or switch out any songs that you feel might be better; these were just mainly off the top of my head.
I haven't seen the Jensen singing Applebee's before you posted about it and now I hate you sm how am I supposed to focus on anything now, hmm? Hmm?!?!!
In that case i am "sorry" for causing you this problem and i am adding this video for absolutely no reason at all.
Ulla ducks her head and gives a humorless chuckle. “It was never the mother, was it?”
Her father regards her with a pained smile. “No, it wasn’t.”
———————————————————————
He loved Ulla, truly, grey skin and all, she was still his child. Her laughs and giggles would fill the air with a joyous melody. He knew Ulla showed more promise as a baby than most sildroher ever have during that age.
On dark days a small, ugly part of him thinks of taking her back to shore, finding her birth mother, and thrusting the baby in her hands without a word as she did him, never visiting again.
During the times when Ulla’s wails would bounce across the walls and make the flowers shrivel and rot. He didn’t have a problem with it, she had a strong voice after all, but when the others complained it was a different story. How they glared at the two of them or sneered at the baby for the tone of her cries.
The times when his wife would look at Ulla with an odd look, something akin to fear, repulsion, or pity. When that specific look would be on him instead. He remembers squashing down the hurt at the time she recoiled at Ulla reaching her little hands out to her or having just stood there as the baby cried.
He would never want to give Ulla away though, for he never regrets her in the first place.
———————————————————————
“You can hold her if you want.”
She’s broken out of some trance by his voice as he comes over to the crib. He chuckles a little at that, recalling the occasions when she would hold Ulla with a smile on her face, entertaining her with a song almost as if she forgets about the baby’s heritage. Though now it seems she remembers the other half.
“She won’t bite,” he says amusedly.
“I know that,” she mumbles, glancing at Ulla’s tail and his. He sighs and moves to pick Ulla up instead, scooping her up in his arms.
“You must think I’m a whore.” He tells her bluntly. Sometimes he sees her looking at him with what could be a trace of disgust. Remembers how uncomfortable she seemed when they were courting each other and she first met Ulla and he confided in her about Ulla’s true parentage. Still, she wanted to marry him and look after her like she was her own, despite it all.
“What,” she’s taken aback, “no, no I don’t think that's all, it’s just…” she trails off, gripping the edges of the crib tightly. It’s silent for a moment before his wife speaks again.
“I wish she had been mine.” She whispers.
———————————————————————
He still thinks about her at times, the shadow summoner, either with anger or nostalgia. Looking back to when she made him sing symphonies during their lovemaking.
Sometimes he wonders if he ever would’ve met Ulla had she not been born with a tail. Or would she have taken her away wherever she went and he would still be waiting for the bell to ring?
———————————————————————
Brave little Ulla. Coming home on the bad days when there’s too much teasing with tears in her eyes, yet still acting strong and holding her head high.
you better lock your phone,
and look at me when you're alone...
im thinking modern au, they're both in college (or maybe fresh out or something) robin and nancy have been dancing around each other for a little while. for robin, it's just another normal night. for nancy, she's finally gonna make her move, because it's obvious robin isn't going to--fear of crossing boundaries and all that--but nancy cannot chicken out again, goddammit.
robin won't get off her phone, giggling at another video she knows steve's sent, and robin isn't often on her phone, usually has it on 'do not disturb,' so maybe that's a sign that tonight isn't the right time. that she should wait and then--
no. she has to do this now, she's not gonna lose her nerve now. it's just--
"nance?" robin's eyes are fully on her now, the warm lighting of the living room making robin's eyes impossibly warmer, like nancy could just drown in them.
nancy's legs move of their own, slotting on either side of robin. robin's tongue darts out to wet her lips, nancy's eyes track the movement, phone long forgotten.
send me a 🔀 and a pairing, and i’ll shuffle my playlist and make an au based on the first song that comes up
love that danny boy is like a deeply emotional song about death and ancestry traditionally sung at funerals but my introduction to it was fucking bobs burgers so now whenever its brought up all i can think about is OOHHH HARRY BOY THE PICKLES THE PICKKLLEES and god forbid i ever have to go to a funeral where its being sung
it's been less than a week since i learned of cerveza cristal and it has already made a monumental impact on my psyche. i've had the jingle stuck in my head for an hour now
