#SongsOfSeptember: Day 27 The story's still in early drafting, but I prefer uplifting endings to purely sad or tragic ones. So far as feel goes... I think Behind the Door by Nobuo Uematsu. This ending track is so warm and classic and never fails to put a smile on my face. Can you tell I love FFIX?

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 26 I'm gonna flip this around and do the antagonist vs. MC, Drowning by NateWantsToBattle. So remember that Antag from Day 10? I said we'd get back to them for their opinions on Asali... and this song is it—in a close to literal sense. They would sing this to torment her. 🧵

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 25 "I Choose You" from Pokémon M20. The cast wouldn't be complete without their familiars, and Asali & Lynx are each other's ride or die. No matter what the world may say about them, Asali wouldn't choose any other companion to share her life with. Nor would she change him.

#SongsOfSeptember Day 25 An uplifting song on your story's playlist. Is there any particular reason you chose it? Like is it for a character or a particular scene?

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 24 Can the main cast as a whole count as 'anyone?' If so, Namurasarera Lineage by Junna. I considered highlighting either Fiona or Ronan since they've only had shared songs, but this one's too perfect. While it really suits the MCs, it honestly reflects everyone well. >.>'~

#SongsOfSeptember Day 24 I'm now 3 hours ahead and need to sleep at a decent time, so you get this early~ Character song 4: Anyone you want~ MC again, deuteragonist, love interest, side character, villain--whoever you want to focus on more today~ Just pick someone and share a song~

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 23 If Asali's heart had a soundtrack, it would sound like Joe Hisaishi's The Sixth Station from Spirited Away. Melancholy piano is far & away her theme instrument, and this song evokes such a perfect balance of loneliness & longing. Yet tranquil, with an underlying resilience

#SongsOfSeptember Day 23 An instrumental song that you think fits your story's tone~ Or that fits a scene if you can't find one for the story overall :D I'm going to be in a different timezone by tomorrow night, so I might post these a bit earlier the rest of the week. I'll have to see~

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 22 Coming off yesterday, there's Dillon, a traveling bard. He can play a number of instruments, but since he wanders about so much, he tends to focus on what's easy to carry—like the tin whistle, the concertina, & his mainstay: something akin to the Irish bouzouki or cittern

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 21 Believe it or not, there's four major musical characters in this story. Two are main cast members, so gonna focus on them. First is Vita, annnd... 1000% Bad Reputation by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. She's a nice person deep down, but the song can speak for itself. XD'

#SongsofSeptember: Day 20 Phantom Thief F's Scenario by Hitoshizuku-P × Yama△ The climax of the Gorias arc involves masquerades, magical items, a heist, and, of course, phantom thieves. Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of The Red Death also provided loose inspiration, so... make what you will of that~

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 19 To My Dear Friends by Erutan, which is a cover of Far Off Promise from Chrono Trigger. For as much as I adore a sweet romance, I love deep friendships / found families just as much. This song really encompasses how Asali comes to feel about the main cast of her story.

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 18 "I put a spell on you... And now, you're mine~" ...by Bette Midler. Asali would wanna curse me for saying this suits her. XD' Lynx would probably love it, though~ I'd say this is closer to what people *think* she's like & how they imagine her than actual fact. But still~

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 17 This first pick skirts the line of main & side character. Can't name them, but going with Kill The Lights by Set It Off. Apparently Set It Off is just tailor-made for anyone mad at Yorick. 😂 Unlike Antag from Day 10, though, this person's got actual good reasons to be mad.

#SongsOfSeptember Day 17 Character song 3: Side character I'm pretty open with the definition of 'side character'--they can be important, secondary, minor, or even in the background, as long as they're not the main character~ Don't forget to tag!

Yup, Felisa's mine~ But Aya's done a wonderful job fleshing her out. 💕 So major kudos to her~ I'm very proud of the character she's grown into, and that's in large part thanks to her. 😁 Speechless is absolutely perfect for her, too. ...Also Aya, that second choice is so mean. >.> How dare you.

Niki Bond@nikibond.bsky.social · 2w ago

#SongsOfSeptember I'm gonna cheat for this one and give two characters. The first is Felisa from the Balaricio arc in book 1, who is actually @windykazea.bsky.social's character~ Felisa's the current maiden, and she has a moment where she won't go speechless, so... yeah~

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 16 Bad Guy by John Michael Howell & ZVC. Won't give any hints or clues. All I'll say is that it definitely checks every box for 'a song that spoils something in your story.'

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 15 I'll admit, unless the volume is low, lyrical music tends to kick my brain into daydream mode, which while fun and helpful in its own way, isn't always the best for focusing. 😅 My go-to is TPR when I work. He makes chill & beautiful piano renditions of VGM. Links below!

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 14 Come Little Children from Hocus Pocus. Any version works, but I particularly like this cover by The Hound + The Fox for the big bad and two other opposing forces. The haunting yet alluring serenity suits all three, but how truly sinister it is depends on the singer.

#SongsOfSeptember Day 14 Musical Monday! It's time for the antagonist's epic villain song. What song do they sing? You can give us one that fits or make up a title~ If you don't have an antagonist who sings, then maybe what the protagonists would sing about the central conflict instead~

#SongsOfSeptember: Day 13 One of the biggest mysteries of the story is who disturbed the Great Grimoires, what really happened, and the unfortunate repercussions of the magic unleashed. For the incident itself, the intensity of Yuki Kajiura's Song of Storm and Fire is always what my mind goes to.
