#and Flourish and the Tideturners need a lot more lol mostly Flourish tho since the Tideturners are more of a setting than a story

[valiant-portabella-pirkko]

fun fact: I actually have not 1, not 2, but 3 dedicated playlists of OST-style music for my various Guild Wars 2 AUs, and... that, of all ways, is the closest I get to "outlining" my stories. every sequence has a dedicated track that I picked out according to what I'd imagine playing in-game if it was an actual playable story arc in Guild Wars 2.

Regrowth's playlist has 59 songs and Flourish has 28.

then the Tideturners have one too, with a grand total of 22.

......... I don't have a problem,

#my posts #someday i might share some of them tbh #though at the moment there's so little context for these AUs that it'd probably not be particularly interesting yet lol #the boss battle and character themes are some of my favs #I'll give you one for peeking down here in the tags: Saoirse's main battle theme is 'Unforgiven' by Two Steps From Hell. #it's especially good because it even has 3 versions that would perfectly match up with her progression through the fight; #orchestral version is phase 1. instrumental is phase 2 adding drums. and final phase is the main version which adds a choir. #okay i'll give some more too if you're still down here lol but spoiler alert they're like 99% songs by Two Steps From Hell #'We Will Bury' You is the initial betrayal/encounter theme between Pirkko and Saoirse just before the battle starts #'Tragic Dragon' is the theme for Oblivion... Dragon of Null and Void. his true nature has always been a pitiful one. #'Science' is Pirkko's theme and I still love it a lot tbh #then there's 'Prelude to a Nightmare' as a general theme for Scarlet's ghost while she's still tied to Saoirse #'Gamechanger' and 'Where's Waldo' have to do with when Scarlet is in control of Saoirse and takes over the fight #when the latter starts playing you KNOW shit's about to get real. all inhibitions are out the window. it's do or die. #but on the flipside: Ceara post-Oblivion has some really emotional themes too. 'The Mechanical Heart' by Shannon Chiang for one #with that one having to do with when she starts trying to reclaim her identity and find a new path forward #all of these playlists are still WIPs though; Regrowth actually has a lot of defunct tracks from scrapped scenes in the Alpha version #and Flourish and the Tideturners need a lot more lol mostly Flourish tho since the Tideturners are more of a setting than a story #anyway. i think i've rambled enough to no one in particular lol #i am putting absolutely none of my tags on this. rolls away
