#i love making Spotify playlists for my characters

[sophiesonlinediary]

i’ve never loved anything in my life as a footnote.

music? i listen to it everyday just to never be alone with my thoughts. i memorize the chords and the artists name, why they wrote the song and how they connect to it. i psychoanalyse every lyric, i research the producer and what they have spoken about the song and why they chose to go for that beat. i listen to the live version and pay attention to the singers voice and how they enunciate every word their feeling etched into each delivery. i have music tattooed on my heart.

books? i live in them. i emerge myself in the fantasies of others savoring the stories of characters i’ll never personally know. i live in the little fantasies annotating words that make me feel what no human could ever. i make pinterest boards, spotify playlists, even posters, as a way to show my love for them. i rave about it to my friends and still sit in wonder at the end of the day at how words on paper can make me feel alive, can bring me new emotions i’m still yet discovering.

movies? they’re my religion, another form of escape from this world. i watch actors play a part bringing it to life the same way i do in my day to day fantasies. i watch the story evolve and how the director find ways to tell it in 1-3 hours. months of work finally coming together to make the final product. i delve into the actors lives, the set team, hoping ill be able to fill the void set there the second the screen turned black.

i log everything i do.

i watched a movie? letterboxd. i read a book? goodreads. i listened to an album? aoty.

everything i love, everyone i love, will always be important to me. i make a list of thing in my notes app i know you love, your little habits, the color of your eyes when you look at the sun for too long, because i cant afford to not love. i fear my time on earth to be wasted by not giving everything my all. i memorize lines from poetry that make me feel seen, i put posters on my wall for the art i appreciate, i decorate my room in my favorite color just to make the point clear that i love it. ill hug you a dozen times a day and make sure you feel alright. because sometimes loving everything and everyone else more than yourself is easier maybe im scared that if i take away everything i love i wont be sure about who i am. in the dead of night when im alone with my thoughts, without a book in my hand, or headphones blasting music, who am i? the song has ended but the melodies continue, in my head they go round making no space for the thoughts i’m afraid will creep in.

New dnd campaign starts soon and I am so excited for this character.

He's a dhampir Bard with a Haunted One background & I 'm setting him up to be an emo/rocker boy and I'm just so excited.

#if you ask nicely #I'll share the link to the playlist for him #i love making Spotify playlists for my characters #i have no idea how I'm going to play his character because he is so wildly out of my comfort zone #but I am excited to try

was about to lowkey pat myself on the back for having the most liked playlist for Big Red (YuuriVoice) on Spotify but. after further searching i believe it may be the only Big Red (YuuriVoice) playlist on Spotify 😭

#Seven.txt #yuurivoice #music stuff #rp audio stuff #(might as well go ahead and make a tag for it with how much i've been posting abt it lately) #what is a win when there is no competition #(that is a Joke i do not consider playlist making to be a competition. i am Truly Shocked that anyone likes any of my playlists) #like my music taste is awful! i made those playlists to please my own taste why r u guys even here #*looks at my Dark Mode Alphonse playlist with 150+ likes* WHO ARE ALL YOU PEOPLE #but like. that is so funny to me #am i just not finding the other Big Red playlists or am i the only person insane enough abt him to make a playlist #where's that 'if x has 1 million fans meme' #If Big Red has 1 fan‚ that one is me #and the 42 ppl that liked the playlist lmao #If Big Red has 43 fans- #okay i'm done joking around #i'm supposed to be drafting up a fic for a completely different character to post rn but i'm fucking around on Spotify instead. whoops #like sorry but the Big Red audio on Patreon yesterday hit me in the heart and got the brainworms wiggling again #me when a character i love cries for the first time: YESSS YESYESYES GIVE ME THE EMOTION GIVE ME THE VULNERABILITY OPEN UP TO ME I LOVE YOU

fuck it posting moiraine playlist on main

#please enjoy my incredibly vibey and abstract playlist i finalized while very very high lol #i made it that way bc she is vibey and abstract. 2 me ❤️ #could have posted this days ago if i hadnt agonized over the inclusion of master hunter #feels like its a little aggressive and doesnt totally work #but i am a master hunter ive cured my skin nothing gets in nothing not as hard as it tries #vs the breakdown of like fuck off u think i enjoy suffering!!! #later in the song rly works for book moiraine at certain points. where u become so emotionally isolated to try and protect urself but #but rly u still care sososo much #i think her struggle for connection in the midst of all her planning is a big part of what makes moiraine such a strong character for me #like. any ability she has to repress her own emotions is p surely undercut by her own capacity for love #she cant help it! even if she struggles to connect with others and frequently faces rejection in the white tower #she still cares deeply for others #v boss of her u might say #anyways ramble basically over this playlist is also heavily impacted by new spring go read new spring sound of the summer #reserving the right to go back and edit this if the a side in the title isnt clear enough lol #moiraine damodred #wheel of time #music #Spotify

WHEN THE GASTER IS COZY

BOTTOM TEXT

fun facts as usual

His sweater is a poison-type themed pokémon sweater that Alphys got for him on giftmas. He just likes it because he thinks the pattern is neat. He does not know what pokémon is.

He’s better at working alone than with people, but won’t complain if he needs to, he’ll just not be the best at communication.

He supports his children as much as he physically can.

He used to have a bad habit of smoking, however he now instead blows bubbles when he’s stressed and needs a break. Sometimes he needs to be reminded that he’s trying to quit smoking.

He often checks on Chara and Frisk to make sure there’s no severe complications with each only having half a soul, and to make sure the flowers growing from Chara aren’t causing too much issue.

Did anyone order Al's ridiculously self-indulgent Miles Edgeworth playlist? No? Too bad.

#ace attorney #miles edgeworth #Spotify #finally i have the pleasure of presenting you my magnum opus. i first started making this monstrosity on january 11th #and as of right now it consists of 200+ songs #but i dont exactly have the highest standards so maybe some of them may not seem fitting to anyone but me #Al's ramblings #ive been listening to this playlist 24/7 <33 for the past three months or so <3 literally driving myself insane #also im only posting this for myself and like. two mutuals. i doubt that anyone else would care about my insanely long character playlists #hell i love character playlists but i rarely listen to ones i havent made myself if they are longer than a couple hours #music

[perilegs]

artists on spotify seeing what playlists their songs are added to is cool and fun until i'm adding songs from an artist with like ~600 monthly listeners to a playlist about some video game losers

#it's not my fault the local darkwave bands are writing music with not only lyrics but vibes that fit these two awful ppl #also they dont have lyrics on sporify nor bandcamp. i had to message a friend who has their vinyl to take a pic of the #lyrics of some songs #bc the singer is a pretty deep voiced woman which. im obviously madly in love with her voice. #but it's a hard for me to make out bc her voice is like in the same idk what to call it. range? as the instruments #idk if i necessarily mean the pitch #but yea y'know #leevi talks #also yes this is about durgetash #also also imagine being an artist and your band is doing pretty well. going to gigs around the country. even to other countries. #and you check spotify bc youre curious to see what playlists your songs are on and see one with weird names on it #nd you google the characters and see gortash. what then. #also youre a goth. and you have to see your music which you put your heart and soul into has been added to a playlist about an emo bitch #horrifying

omg link to the ybc joe playlist????

WELL FRIEND i have many ybc playlists and im going to use this ask as an excuse to share all the ones that are public because i am actually so proud of most of them !

the way i do playlists especially character playlists that are connected thru shared canon is pretty specific. track order always matters, every playlist starts with an instrumental track that sets the tone, and that tone will change as the playlist progresses. different characters will favor different genres, some more heavily than others, but there are intentional shared artists across the different playlists to emphasize shared connection (i.e., ybc pete's playlist is going to share an artist with ybc joe, ybc andy, and ybc patrick, all separately). character playlists are constructed thru the lens of focusing on a genre or a couple different genres and then adding songs that lyrically encapsulate the character's whole Deal, tho not necessarily chronologically.

all playlists featured here are an even 50 songs, which puts them at around the 3 hour mark. generally speaking there won't be more than 2 songs by any one artist, but there will be at least one SRAR track.

i have Lots of these but these are the ones that are public and that i'd mostly consider done (plus or minus some tweaking down the line cause i'm picky lol) so these are the ones i'm sharing.

YBC ANDY: lots of metal, hardcore, hard rock, prog-rock, etc. very high energy but focuses on themes of helplessness in the face of adversity, emotional repression, and self-neglect in the name of group cohesion.

YBC PETE: blend of pop, alt-rock, pop rock, hip-hop, and melodic dubstep. discusses themes of betrayal, loss, and deception but with an edge of gritty determination to turn things around.

YBC JOE: all flavors of rock - classic rock, alt-rock, pop rock, punk rock, metal-rock fusion, but with a sprinkling of morbid acoustics. concentrates on themes of self-loathing, unbelonging, uncertainty, and fear.

YBC PATRICK: eclectic mix per the character's innate duality. starts with folk-adjacent indie tunes before swinging into harsher metal and punk/hardcore, dipping into jittery electronica, then deranged, bouncy pop. evens out into quieter, more introspective acoustics. themes of duality, guilt, and wrestling with one's internal demons.

THE VIXENS: this one is basically all girlboss bops. it mmmostly favors pop and riot grrl type rock but honestly it's got a lot of variations on the general theme of "i want to kill men"

THE DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH: combines the disparate styles of the four guys into one conjoined playlist. focuses on hope and unity.

#askin hours #anon #*mixes #idk if i have a tag for that already? but now i do #anyway im ridiculously proud of these even if i had to use spotify to make em #ybc joe's is my favorite but i love putting these on #i built these in part to help with comic stuff cause character playlists help me get into ppls heads and stuff #but honestly ill just put them on for whatever. i love making playlists for a target audience of me

[katagawajr]

apparently some of the cast are making character playlists, so time to post my gale playlist before the official one comes out

#feel weird tagging it so i probably wont but 💀 i love making character playlists and i’ve had this one for a bit #i used to make blands one they’re still up on my spotify i think. but yeah gale ily gale #i have more on my personal one for him but theyre more romance so i wanted one that isnt explicitly shippy for him #sorry for the abundance of oh hellos songs. they’re perfect for every fantasy setting and character #my playlists #gale of waterdeep

i think my zelink playlist is my only good one like this shit is devastating genuinely

#the one exception on there being I would do anything for love by meatloaf #which is a classic case of “I like this song so much that I'm gonna black out and insist it goes here anyway even if it maybe doesn't” #lyrically that song is fine its just that the rest of the playlist is sad indie shit so it fucks with the vibes a bit #anyway this post is kind of a lie my el and max ones are also good and also probably better than the zelink one #it's just that 99 percent of the time if I make a character/ship/feeling playlist I get like 4 songs in it #go “hmm I'll work on this more another time” and never touch it again. so. most of them suck #and that's part of the reason my entire spotify profile is private #but the zelink one. well it's technically also not done to me hence why I made it in may and then never sent it to gloomy #hi gloomy sorry gloomy #but it's like 2 hours long which in retrospect is I think a normal length for playlists but not to me not if it's you #2 hours is normal if you curate that shit I don't curate my ideal playlist is an 8 hour monstrosity with every song #that even briefly induces character feelings #so um. georgia by phoebe bridgers though #anyway I was actually listening to the zelink playlist today bc I was thinking about ANOTHER couple. um😐 #and it was genuinely getting rancid awful radioactive in my brain so I was like “FUCK THIS!! I NEED TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE” #and forcibly induced a zelink breakdown #prescribed 500 ml of zelinkism to combat The Diseases

[kennabeth]

is this a good brianna song or is it too inextricably about abuse what do you think

#no unfortunately i will not rest until every inkheart character i love has a playlist #i think violante will be goth im excited for that #i thought hard about making one for bri that was like angsty mid-2000s rock bc i think thats what she'd like #unfortunately though i hate that kind of music so what would be the point #thought about indie pop but like all my redheaded girl characters have indie pop playlists for some reason #so she's probably getting folk pop like her parents #says kenna #Spotify

[artschoolglasses]

Resisting the urge to add Blood to my Astarion playlist 👀😬

y/n?

#look it might actually be the most fitting song for him out there #“I'm the kind of human wreckage that you love” #(and of COURSE I'm making baldur's gate character playlists. obviously. come on.) #(I had a great song for wyll and now I've forgotten it and I'm annoyed) #blood #my chemical romance #mcr #music #Spotify
