Decided to add music to this post on Instagram /here I linked the youtube video for it/, I chose Samuel Kim's version of Avatar's Love, the same I used for my wedding videos and what makes me cry every time I listen to it 🥺🥲

Music: Samuel Kim: Avatar's Love
This is the arrangement of Mikasa's Badass Entrance Theme from S4 Episode 6. It's pretty much Levi vs Female Titan Theme but I mixed it with K2-, Rittaikidou (Survey Corps Theme), and Xl-Tt.
Alright so I'm a little hyperfocused on that song "Goodbye" from Arcane - specifically the Epic Version by Samuel Kim featuring Sorah. So I decided to write a parody for Hector and Adira in my Incarnate fic. On the surface level, the lyrics are about the events of chapter 1, but the character growth taking place is set during the Mindtrap Incident (and is the payoff of everything these two go thru in between.)
Adira:
I could feel the will of a heartbeat; I heard it call out
Won't ever leave my memory of bloodshed all around
And I could to see the tears on my brother's face; I heard him cry out
Not my enemy, how could I have ever let you down? Ohhh....
Hector:
These castle walls saw my fall
My loyal heart and hard resolve failed me
Rent in two by blackened stones
Can I still say my body's all my own?
Adira:
I fear I let the smoke in my head misguide the steel of my hands
Hector:
I will uphold the righteous cause I bear, don't want this power in my hands
Sometimes music will distract me from actually writing because I'll be listening to the words more and accidentally write the lyrics of certain songs. Other times, oh it is a booster to write with in the background because I can just picture the scene laid out before me.
I've been listening to this while revising and adding to the Hizuru OVA (which now sits at 32,889 words. And I'm not adding any more. I think I'm done revising it):

When I first started writing the Hizuru OVA about two years ago, I remembered listening to this one a lot:

Samuel Kim Music has phenomenal soundtrack covers of everything and I adore him for it.
Hans Zimmer and Stephen Swartz went so hard with the soundtrack to the Prince of Egypt. Now I found an Epic Version of The Plagues by Samuel Kim, who I love, and god, nobody had any right to go this hard or make anything slap this much. This is Battle Music. These men might kill me, but I'll die having exploded from my atoms vibrating too hard with sheer, unbridled delight from these songs. Amick Byram, who does Moses's singing voice, is also so incredibly good; I'd literally listen to anything just to appreciate his voice.
