A Challenge: Music Recs

Day 12 was to create a challenge of our own. Since I've been listening to, revisiting and making quite a few fanmixes lately, I thought I could create a little music challenge.

Pick a song a song you strongly associate with a character and/or pairing and post it below and tell me why. It doesn't have to be a long explanation, I know plenty of times I hear something and I don't know why but it just immediately feels like it belongs to a certain character. It could be a song that makes you inspired to write about a character. It could be something that relates to their backstory. It could be something that makes you think of their relationship with another character. If you can't think of one, that's okay too, post a song you've really been loving lately. (This can be for fandoms or OCs, up to you.)

I have two, one for a character and one for a ship.

First is "Is It Me" by St. Paul & the Broken Bones. This song is on a short playlist I put together for Lucifer from the television show of the same name. His character arc in the last two seasons have gotten more introspective, which I've really loved. I feel like this song has a pretty good hold on that vibe.

Second is "Sinkhole" by Old Sea Brigade. I've been listening to the official Fjord & Jester playlists from Travis and Laura lately and reflecting on their relationship a lot. I was all for Fjord/Jester in the beginning but I've been really interested in this uncertainty from Jester and curiosity from Fjord in the last few episodes. With Jester's line this week, "Don't turn evil to me, Fjord," I think this song really applies.

I hope you do this too. I love getting new music recs and learning how other people associate music and their writing or art.
