Give me a character or a pairing* that I have written about lately/have talked about writing about lately/am obviously just fond of and I will make you, the requester, a four to six song playlist for the character and pairing, accompanied by me gabbing about it. I'd usually have a drabble option, but I'm currently in the middle of the magical land of term papers and therefore have to save my writing energy, sadly.

*Except Jaime/Tim. You'll be getting that one soon enough. Jaime/anyone else is entirely fair game.

Tim and Dick! I want to compare yours to mine! I can post mine later if you want?

[riseupwithfists]

Okay, so my list of Tim/Dick songs is EPIC (and I love any and all pairing playlists, so I would be totally interested in yours!).

I... actually have to reponder my Tim/Dick songs due to the new, even angstier status quo, so I'll be back with it later tonight.

[glitterandlube]

okay! I will be doing mine in a post so I can put in YT links to the songs! I look forward to yours!

This post here.

here 'tis!

[riseupwithfists]

the latest iteration:

1. You Are What You Love - Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins: This has been my favorite Tim/Dick song since like 2006. BEST RECOGNIZE.
2. La Familia - Mirah: Meet Dick and his issues.
3. True Affection - The Blow: Tim beating himself up over Dick. For years and years.
4. Wild World - Cat Stevens: I COULDN'T HELP IT, IT'S SO APROPOS.
5. Poison Cup - M. Ward: I think this hits the messed up yearniness they've got going.
6. Underage - The Hidden Cameras: The only thing more messed up than faux-incest is faux-underaged faux-incest. AKA 'oh Timmy'.

Re: here 'tis!

[glitterandlube]

Oh I wanted to say: Think Locally, Fuck Globally is now one of my favorite songs. I meant to thank you for it 1000 years ago.

Plus, as soon as I read about the prom that will not be discussed I had a flash to the reeducation classes and I want that to happen.

So Drake for America still lives in me. Wait that sounds creepy. YAY MUSIC THANKS.

Re: here 'tis!

[riseupwithfists]

Ahahah, that isn't creepy! Drake For America lives in all our hearts. Still. <333

[axiom_of_stripe]

kon? (i kind of want to ask for kon/paco! but i'm also kind of terrified of it.)

[riseupwithfists]

(AHAHAHAHA same here. Oh god. Kon/Paco would most likely include a lot of Lonely Island and this song.)

I'm not sure why I titled the folder "Mister El" except for the fact that I am a huge dorkface:

1. Adventure - Be Your Own Pet: this is my quintessential Young Justicey song, as far as I'm concerned.
2. Another Girl Another Planet - Only Ones: all brash and brawn and his cocky smile.
3. Stronger - Kanye West: More like KONye, amirite?
4. Idiot Boyfriend - Jimmy Fallon: I will never apologize for this song. I MEAN IT WITH LOVE, I SWEAR.
5. Take Off Your Cool - OutKast: as a response/rebuke to the previous song, basically. Nawww Kon-El.
6. One of Us Is Gonna Die Young - The Ark: Oh god, you probably have this song already. I think people hated me back in LJ fandom when I touted it as my favorite Tim/Kon song. It still is.

[riseupwithfists]

God, IDK why I forgot to close the tags but I uploaded it all at once instead of individual songs, I swear.

[axiom_of_stripe]

Adventure - Be Your Own Pet: this is my quintessential Young Justicey song, as far as I'm concerned.

okay, i am loving this whole mix, but THIS SONG OMG is making me get all nostalgic and sniffly and i just want to draw sparkly protective hearts around the whole of those kids.

Stronger - Kanye West: More like KONye, amirite?

bwee! see, this is totally a kon song, you are very right, but up until now this was a ranma/ryouga song in my head and now my head is all jumbled up with crazy and crazier kids!

♥♥♥

*keeps playlist on repeat for a while longer*

p.s.

[axiom_of_stripe]

(AHAHAHAHA same here. Oh god. Kon/Paco would most likely include a lot of Lonely Island and this song.)

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA*terror*

[axiom_of_stripe]

One of Us Is Gonna Die Young - The Ark: Oh god, you probably have this song already. I think people hated me back in LJ fandom when I touted it as my favorite Tim/Kon song. It still is.

and see, whatever (BIG) fuckups dc has had lately -- at least this isn't quite so much a terribly emo love song anymore! ;)

[haunted]

Mystery Solving Teens? :D?

And if you haven't got anything for them (I mean, they don't even have names, it's totally understandable), Jason Todd!

[riseupwithfists]

The sad thing is that I DO have a playlist for them. And I am totally also uploading my Jason Todd megamix, because I love sharing it. I'll be back with links later this evening. :DDDD

HUGEASS JASON PLAYLIST, uploaded recently for a RL friend getting into the Batpeople:

1. Wolf Like Me - Tv on the Radio: I fucked up the numbering so the actual file says that it's number "00". I like that for some reason.
2. Our Hell - Emily Haines: This is one of those songs that is more generally Gotham for me? I was big on it being a Tim song for a while, but I like the flow of it here.
3. This Tornado Loves You - Neko Case: Relentless and glorious and tragic.
4. The Dagger Song - Razorlight: Pretty much obligatory.
5. In Our Talons - The Bowerbirds: This is actually my all time favorite birdboys/birdgirls/Robins song, period.
6. Life and Limb - Fugazi: Jubilancy and I want this to be the end credit music for the Red Hood movie so fucking bad.
7. Breaker - Retribution Gospel Choir: Or maybe this song.
8. Hebrews 11:40 - The Mountain Goats: Zombie Jasonnnn.
9. Who By Fire - Leonard Cohen: Back from when I was going to write the pre-RIP epic where Jason got to be Batman with Tim as his long-suffering Robin.
10. The Masochism Tango - Tom Lehrer: I just realized that this list is kinda Bruce/Jasony? Which is not necessarily an endorsement because I think that Jason kinda hates how much he loves Bruce, even now, even still.
11. Violent Past - Low: Actually, the entirety of their Drums and Guns album is Jason's. The Great Destroyer is Tim's; Things We Lost In The Fire is Dick's.
12. Girlfriend in a Coma - The Smiths: I know, I know, it's serious.

[haunted]

Oooh, I recognise a couple of these songs, and from the commentary I'll like the rest of them! Thanks!

[mona]

CRACKING UP AT GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA OH MY GOD

[riseupwithfists]

I KNOW.

I KNOW.





IT'S SERIOUS.

fjklsjdfklsdfjs why am i irl loling so hard

[mona]

IT'S REALLY SERIOUS.

[riseupwithfists]

This mix brought to you by the abominable cock monster.

1. Boys in the Hood - Dynamite Hack: Okay, so I loathe the whole "white artist ironically covers rap song" trend, but I think it ties in with the teens being awful and thinking they're tough when they're really, like, two hooligans, so.
2. When I Grow Up - Fever Ray
3. Rocking The Suburbs - Ben Folds
4. Gay Cowboys - Cory Dargel: Underneath their gruff wretchy exteriors lies the desire to go, you know, anywhere together. NOT IN A GAY WAY, NECESSARILY. AKA they should just stop fronting.
5. Boys of Melody - The Hidden Cameras: Annnd we get even more inadvertently romantic.

[haunted]

THIS IS AWESOME. Your taste in music is good and you should feel good!

[jubilancy]

Mia!!

[mona]

Jaime/Scarab!

[riseupwithfists]

YESSSSSS I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD ASK

1. Bizarre Love Triangle - Frente: Obligatory song is obligatory.
2. Skullcrusher Mountain - Jonathan Coulton: I'm being really awful about the song comments this go round, because all I want to do is go "THIS SONG IS PERFECT BECAUSE THE SCARAB IS IN SUCH CREEPY LOVE WITH JAIME".
3. Air - Ben Folds Five: The obligatory "omfg Jaime was lost in space for a year with only his buddy for company" song.
4. Walking After You - Foo Fighters: I'm on yr back, indeed.
5. He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother - The Hollies: Every song here is crucial, truly.

[mona]

4. Walking After You - Foo Fighters: I'm on yr back, indeed.

lololololol

YOU ARE SO GOOD AT THIS, these are great! And "creepy love with Jaime" is a PERFECTLY REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR SONG CHOICE. Because it is so perfectly true. :D

[riseupwithfists]

Well I am, like, obsessed with finding the right music for anything I want to write, even stuff I never end up writing! And Scarab's creepy love for Jaime is legion.


(also also, I have the response to your email up right now but I'm also trying to finish a paper? So it'll get finished tomorrow, I swear. The email, I mean. The email AND the paper.

...I think I need to sleep.)

[mona]

I do the same exact thing! Except with...........icons!

Yeah, that's a lot less exciting, huh. lol /o\



(No rush, BB! So many of my emails tend to be a lot of words with very little substance, I don't even think there was much in there to reply to, ultimately. lolol especially as it was mostly just an excuse to tell you how excited I am that OUT OF ALL THE JAIME AND BLUE BEETLE AND COMICS ok based on what she's read that basically means Blue Beetle and Outsiders BUT STILL, OTPS IN THE WORLD, MY FRIEND CHOSE JAIME/SCARAB. *___* Such is the power of Khaji-da's creepy love.)

[mona]

(AND GOOD LUCK WITH THE PAPER AND I HOPE YOU ARE SLEEPING WELL)

[omens]

I looove your Kon mix a lot!

[riseupwithfists]

Thank you! I adore that big lug.
