Ooo, I love this game!

OT: Who this music makes you think? by Hardric on 2016-07-05 20:00:00 UTC Reply

When you listen to a song or a music, there will be a moment where you cannot help but think: 'Hey, it totally fits X', or 'Y is exactly like that', whatever X or Y are canons, PPC agents, or any other character you could think about.

Why not making a game of this?

Post musics, be they songs or instrumentals, fandom musics or not, and let's see what characters they evoke to other Boarders. People giving an answer would then propose other musics to keep the show going. A short explanation can also be given, but think to keep this as much spoiler-free as possible. Of course, try to avoid easy answers like, 'Mirror Mirror makes me think about Weiss Schnee'.

Okay, without further ado, let's try this.

It's My Turn, by Jeff and Casey Williams.

Burn My Dread, by Shoji Meguro (composer), and Yumi Kawamura (vocals).

Ao-iconoclast, by KOTOKO

Hmm... Let's see... It's My Turn actually is kind actually kind of personal for me, and makes me think of my own life. Fun image, no?

Burn My Dread makes me think of two characters, from the two different parts. The first part makes me think Yang Xiao Long, because it makes me think of her thrill-seeker personality and her place as a student. It doesn't seem like too far of a leap to see her fighting people in the night to try and get that feeling of being alive again. The second part makes me think of Kelsier, partially because of how I picture the Lord Ruler's citadel. It seems like it might evoke that image of a black tower devouring all light and sound around it. The feet are, of course, the movements of those backing him, and the mist doesn't hurt the image. And, of course, there are his ambitions, which are definitely good for the lyrics.

I'm not sure I understand Ao-iconoclast. Hm... For now, let's add three songs. Let's say...

Fireflies by Owl City.

Compass by Lady Antebellum

No Good Deed from Wicked. I'm not sure which version this is. It might be the original.

The first one applies to some crazy AU version of either Quasimodo or Rapunzel. Both characters learn the truth about their abusive parental figure on or near a certain day they've been waiting for, if not for their whole life, at least for a year, and proceed to break away from said figure. (The lyrics to the other two don't make enough sense for me to form any kind of concrete idea about them, sorry :/)

Say - John Mayer
Raised by Wolves - U2
It's a Sin - Pet Shop Boys

Say is probably gonna make me look weird, but it kind of makes me think of the Lone Power, maybe because of High Wizardry.

Raised by Wolves, with its possible theme of former idealism, crushed by reality and turned into a heart of stone... Maybe Suzaku, from Code Geass. I can't remember it very well, because it was a long time ago and I cried through most of that show, but if I recall, he loses his shining idealism at one point and... well, it's not pretty.

It's a Sin... well, I might think of somebody, but I'm not sure that I've ever watched or read somebody that full of self-loathing. I can tell you, however, that the reverse is probably Frollo, or anybody who would fit with the song Hellfire, who believes themselves to be always right, and that fact is unquestionable, even if what they're doing is Evil up to Eleven.
